One of the easiest ways to create a buzz to get your product/blog out there is by word of mouth. Word of mouth advertising is the oldest form of advertising and is sometimes the most effective. I have a business card with a list of my blogs on it and when ever I’m asked about my blog I hand it out. You can find printing companies on the web that will offer you 100 business cards for free; you just pay the shipping.

The value of a business card is hard to measure, mostly because you don’t have a way to track where direct traffic came from. An increase in your direct traffic will tell you that your word of mouth advertising is working but other than that you cannot tell for sure if anybody has found your blog from your business card.

When go out and network with your friends at parties or just at a bar, carry your business card with you. If you meet some one you are interested in you can write your number on the back of it, and if the person is interested in you they will check out your blogs on the reverse. Also remember that it takes time and paper to write down the URL of your blog. Carrying a card with URL already on that saves time and keeps your potential reader interested.

This is a tip that you should keep in mind. I have had my business cards for about two weeks now and haven’t handed very many out, but have already seen an increase in direct traffic. The website that I found to get my business card was Vista Print a Canadian company. There you can design your own business card and get the first 250 free + shipping. That’s a great deal if you ask me. Stop by Vista Prints website and get your own business card so you can continue to network while you are off line.
