I as the business provide you with the incentive to do so through offering you a free training course or similar.
You can also find customers by making regular submissions to article sites and through online social sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
The next step is providing the customer with your products and services. This is best done with regular contact through e-mail with clear links to your web-site. Offer free or discount price products to existing customers or simply send them a free product now and then in the form of an e-book or similar.
