New Professional Network Launches
The first version was launched at the beginning of 2009 and is geared towards working professionals that wish to expand their reach and marketing efforts. If you're a self-employed, freelance, or small business professional, you will benefit greatly from this website because it gives you a place to blog about your talents, products, and services. You are allowed to link back to your own website which gives you a boost in search engine rankings and brings people directly to your site. So far, we have accountants, lawyers, business owners, marketers, real estate agents, and photographers using the site.
We'd like to extend an invitation to you to take a look at http://www.prospotlight.com
ProSPOTLIGHT is a great place to gain additional exposure to your talents especially if you are trying to start or build a business. We know as much as anybody that it's expensive to market yourself either online or offline, and therefore a place like ProSPOTLIGHT.com will greatly aide in your efforts because it's currently 100% free to use.
ProSPOTLIGHT is also being used by job-seekers as a homepage to send potential employers to for more information about their talents. A well written spotlight could be the tipping point that convinces an employer that you're the right person for the job. You also have the ability to link out to many of the other sites that you use such as your Facebook account, your Monster resume, your LinkedIn profile, etc.
To give you an example of what can be done, I've created a spotlight for my nature photography at http://www.prospotlight.com/pro/naturephotography - I intend to use this to show off my best nature and wildlife images.
We hope you like the new site, and we welcome any feedback that you might have. Feel free to comment here or send me a message using ProSPOTLIGHT's messaging system.
Thanks,
Brian
PS The directory system is ordered by 'points', which you earn by being active on the site. For example, if you write a blog post, you will earn points. Those with the most points show up first for their country, state/region, city, and occupation. Those at or near the top will receive more traffic, leads, and sales than those at the bottom simply because people choose the first options more often.
Once you sign up, be sure to direct people to your spotlight. Any person that visits one of your pages first and then registers an account will be flagged as your referral. You will earn bonus points for any points your referral earns, which will help you move higher up on the directory pages.
