Discouraged at how hard it is to get some good exposure to help grow your business
Frustrated with the advertising rates that magazines and newspapers want to charge for even a small ad, let alone something someone will see
Irritated that even if you do find affordable advertising, it's not targeted at your audience, meaning you get a poor, or even no, return on your advertising dollar
Just accept it and keep slogging away
Fork out a significant amount of money hoping you at least get enough business from it cover the cost
Hope you get a lucky break
Give up - worst case scenario, but I know from personal experience how heart-rending a decision it is to make
Simple tools to build a marketing webpage on a site that
Averages well over 2,000 unique website visitors every month, and heading to exceed 3,000 in May
Has a subscriber list of over 530 (May 18th, 2008) and growth rate of around 50 new subscribers/month
Has worldwide exposure - of the 2,000 monthly visitors, 65% are in Australia, 10% each in USA and India, and 5% each in UK and Canada.
Dealing with a truly international website based in Australia (Perth) run by a small business owner who knows the obstacles you face
Paying one low, monthly fee that you can cancel at any time if you don't believe you are getting value for money
Fair enough question.
I have been growing, preserving and cooking with chillies for over 20 years and in that time have picked up a great deal of experience and knowledge that you can't get from just reading books.
I have been fortunate enough over the years to have the opportunity to travel to a number of countries, all of which use chillies and spices in daily life.
In early 2003 I made the decision to change careers and get into the food industry full time. I started up a spicy food production, marketing and distribution business.
I was truly happy running the business and enjoyed every aspect of it, particularly the people in the industry and the products.
However, in 2006 I was forced, by circumstances, to admit that I was unable to make the business pay enough to support my family of four and made the decision to shut it down and get back into a 'day job'.
In the 12 months subsequent to the closure I thought a lot about the business and what had gone wrong. I eventually came to the conclusion that the business had been too 'broad' instead of focussing on one or two strengths.
There had been successes along the way and I recognised that most of these revolved around occasions on when I had provided information on chillies and spicy foods, such as;
Discussing chillies and sauces with customers and chilli festivals and other food events was always a popular event
The predecessor site to chillies-down-under.com
The Chilli Sauce Appreciation Course I held at the University of Western Australia in 2005
So, in mid-2007 I started again, this time focussing on simply providing chilli information and information products - nothing else.
And this time everything has been working. chillies-down-under.com is experiencing phenomenal growth in the six months to February 2008 as these statistics show;
0 to 530 Chilli Newsletter subscribers in 8 months with a growth rate currently around 50 new subscribers a month (see below)
In the same 5 months has gone from 0 to well over 2,000 unique visitors a month (see orange column under Monthly Totals, below)
Already, by far, the most popular and most visited chilli site in Australia, according to the web-ranking site, www.alexa.com, with a global ranking of 1,818,954 (1 being the highest) on the 6th March, 2008. That's in the top 2% in the world.

You'll know from experience that this is where internet and infomercial marketers make ridiculous comparisons in price between their product and another item that is usually not comparable and five times the price.
I'm not going to insult your intelligence like that, for two reasons.
First, I wouldn't be comfortable operating like that as I'm basically an honest person, just like you.
Secondly, and more importantly, I simply don't have any reason to.
