Hi

I saw your site and just to let you that you can promote yourself on our site. It’s all about people helping other people. I noticed that you started out with princes Trust. We support Young Enterprise.

My site is www.freshties.com

We are now getting over 15,000 hits a day, so hopefully, it could prove fruitful for you.

FRESHTIES enables people of all age groups to achieve their goals by contacting people who've already experienced the type of study, job, or lifestyle situation that you're interested in.

Promote yourself using one of our blogs- it is free to join now, and it will be like an advert for you, which you can update at any time. You need only cut and paste in some of your standard information from your site. Plus you can link back to your own site.

>From next week, users will be able to search blogs in categories eg entrepreneur.

If you have time in the future, I’d be really grateful if on your blog you'd enter some info about your experiences as an entrepreneur, and about what you do. This helps to inspire others who would like to know what it is like to run your own business.

If you like what you see, pl do pass the link on to friends. It all really helps.

Cheers Ash

I recognise Freshties... was mentioned by someone here.

Look at the referrer link at the end=PebbleCommunications - they are a member of this forum!

Search it on this forum because I have forgotten her name. I think Fiona?

Hi,

Yes I got an e-mail last week and thought what the hell, can't do me any harm to join up and put some info on there. Although looking at the site it seems to be mainly aimed at students and 'young people' to help them find some direction in life....so probably not much good for businesses...

I didn't know another e-mail was going out and I didn't give Ash any permission to use a link to my entry and I'm not a 'referrer' in any way. I have no connection with the site other than joining up. I think I'm the only business blog on there at the moment so I guess he is using it as an example, to try and get other businesses to join in.

I'm not sure if this is good for me or not? On the one hand a link is being sent out to lots of businesses to look at, on the other hand I don't want to be connected with spamming....

Not a good start if he doesn't have your permission. Not entirely spam because it is vaguely announcing the new blog.
