Events Calendar
BizLinc writes a weekly Local Weekend Events Calendar that allows you to notify your clients on the upcoming events in their community.
Events The Local Weekend Events Calendar includes fun events such as free concerts, professional entertainment, sports contests, upcoming movies, and much more. Your clients will look forward to receiving your Local Weekend Events Calendar in order to be informed of the upcoming weekend. Currently the Local Weekend Events Calendar is only being produced for the Greater Washington DC area but if you would like to use BizLinc in another metropolitan area we invite you to contact us at bizlinc.net@gmail.com so we can consider bringing your city and region on board.
Advertising Publishers can offer advertising space on their Weekend Events Calendar and thereby make BizLinc a web based profit center inorder to increase the number of marketing dollars available to reach their clients.
BizLinc advertising fees are based upon a minimum fee in consideration of displaying the advertiser's profile on Publisher's BizLinc business profile website and upon the internet industry standard of the number of “views” each advertiser receives. BizLinc’s advertising fee rate is set at $35.00 CPM (Cost Per Thousand (M = Roman numeral 1000)) which means an advertising charge of $35.00 per 1000 views, or $0.035 for each individual view (subject to a $10 minimum and possibly a maximum fee if a maximum is set by the advertiser).
BizLinc will administer the advertising fees by charging the advertiser’s credit card and depositing the funds into the BizLinc Publisher’s PayPal account. All advertising fees will be paid directly to the BizLinc Publisher without offset. There are a few fees for the advertisers: $20 set-up fee for graphic design and an ongoing .jpg) processing fee equal to 10% of the advertising fees paid to publishers to cover administration and credit card processing cost. In addition, if the advertiser wishes to advertise with more than one (1) BizLinc Publisher, there will be a monthly advertising membership fee of $20.00. If the only Publisher the advertiser is advertising with is you, then there is no membership fee.
Finally, BizLinc is available to help arrange advertising for you. If you are a Publisher and would consider accepting advertising by professionals you don’t already know, BizLinc has a number of advertisers who would welcome the opportunity to advertise on your BizLinc publications. Likewise, if you are an advertiser who would be interested in being introduced to some of our Publishers and advertise on their publications, please contact us and we will explain how the introduction and advertising works.
Sweepstakes Also on the Local Weekend Events Calendar for participating members is the Sweepstakes logo so your subscribers will be able to register to win hundreds of dollars in cash gift cards. If the subscriber clicks on the Sweepstakes logo they are automatically registered in a $250 monthly Sweepstakes. The subscriber must register each month.
If you are the average sales person who was doing well in 2004 - 2006 with the SOI you had at the time, you probably need twice or three times as many people in your SOI to do as well today. Since this in many ways a numbers game, what are you doing to increase the number of people who know you are a real estate agent? You have probably tapped out most, if not all, the normal sources for new people. BizLInc users are using the Sweepstakes to substantially increase the number of people they are contacting each month by introducing the events calendar and the sweepstakes to every person they meet. Very few people will not give up their name and email address if they have the chance to win $250 each month for a click. Communicate with these people for a period of time, make them your "friends" and they will be your new clients.
NewsLetters
BizLinc writes three monthly eNewsletters with local content - Community News, Home Improvement and Real Estate eNewsLetters. As a small business, you work locally, and your clients should recognize you as their local expert when th ey receive your eNewsletter. As a subscriber to BizLinc you can choose to send out to your clients any one or all three of the eNewsLetters. BizLInc eNewsletters include:
Co-Marketing. Each month you can feature a different business partner as your "Referral of the Month." Unsolicited third party referrals will get the business referrals flying!
Customizable. Every month you can write your own personal message to your readers.
Sweepstakes. Each eNewsletter has a link for your subscribers to register each month to win hundreds of dollars in cash gift cards.

WHAT IS THE BIZLINC ADVERTISING AGENT?
Do you have someone representing you and working at growing your business? Would you like to have your own personal advertising agent who would work to introduce you to additional non-competitive small businesses with whom you can do business and share client referrals? Whatever your profession, it is always more effective to have an independent third party represent your interests. A BizLinc Advertising Agent will introduce your business to potential business partners and will work to maximize the value of that relationship. BizLinc has created something that until now did not exist - a platform for small businesses to assist each other's marketing efforts. With the assistance of a BizLinc Advertising Agent you will have relationships with more small business people who will support you and your business.
