Staring a Co-Op means you are on the line to generate a number of referrals every month to keep the participants interested.
To do this you need not only a Advertising Budget for things like PSA To Go and S-Builder positions but also a long term marketing plan like Article Marketing, Blogging, and Social Media. You don't want to have to continue to pour in what you make to keep pace with the growth of your co-op, so building web properties that do the recruiting and training for you is a great way to have your co-op grow with your team.
When you place an ad it gets a finite amount of results, but adding a page to a blog is a permanent, search engine indexed gateway to your advertising.
As you write new post you are adding new gateways to your business, to your co-op. Write 10 pages there are 10 doors to your shop. Write 1,000 pages and there are a thousand ways for your prospects to enter your business. You can even make it a team effort requiring each Co-Op member to add one good post per week or month to the blog in turn for their spot in the co-op or an extra share.
Get 10-20 writers adding a post a month and you could have a blog that publishes Monday through Friday every week of every month and grows by 300+ post per year. The traffic such a project can draw in is limitless. Within a couple years you could be showing a million plus ad views. I know, I have done this with a social network and a team of 5 people who wrote every 3 days.
The sky is the limits but the best bet is on the permanent development of your own fully hosted blog based website. Learn Search Engine Optimization, learn search marketing, learn social media marketing, learn how to promote your content through Article Directories and Press Release, but start building a blog so your business grows with each new effort, each small investment.
Have a safe and Happy New Year.
