Before You Clicked On the Link That Brought You Here? Elists.com's owner is Linda Ramsay. Linda is also
publisher and owner of Touch of
Design Linda,
has been researching, studing, reading, and following information about the
Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) for several years now. She became avidly interested in

® on the worldwide on the Internet and sell more books. She
is a very active, expert Internet marketer that stays on top of Internet technology to find out what
is new and current in the field, and to know what marketing tools are and what aren't effective.
She personally sifts through approximately 100+ email messages per day on the various mailing
lists she belongs to to stay up-to-date and take advantage of any quality link and network
opportunities that she sees.
Internet experts advocate that once you exhaust "free" listings, if you are serious about growing your business on the net, you should also use inexpensive pay-for link lists. Linda, looked around intending to do just that for Touch of Design
®. Guess what? There weren't any for the interior design field
that were avidly marketed and publicized. What she found were
some Great-looking, slow-loading design sites that weren't well-promoted and advertised. Not
wanting to waste
Touch of Design's® money, and because she was serious about
building
an Internet presence for Touch of Design®, Linda, saw an
opportunity to provide marketed professional business lists and directories and put all of this
extensive research and study into action. This has resulted in her forming another business,
Elists.com Professional Lists and Directories. Elists.com is a group of professional business lists and directories where you can list your
business very inexpensively. The lists are avidly marketed and potential customers (both wholesale
and retail) can click on your web site hypertext link or see your listing and call you for more
information and bring your business more customer traffic. Linda, is in the process of building a
major
business list and directory presence for Elists.com.
You may already know that you can have the best-looking and well-planned site in the world that may have cost you thousands of dollars or extensive time to create, plan and implement - but, if the site doesn't come up as one of the first listings during a search and the customer just doesn't see it (or he or she clicks on other links and never comes back to the original search list, and continues to scroll down the hundreds of listings that are listed before yours), your site will be passed over. We have learned through trial and error how to create, market, and tag our lists and directory sites so they are found and come up relatively low on the list of any directory. (This is not just by using just a key word search).
For a one time fee, we invite you and your business to join us and be found easily and quickly through our
lists. Provide us with your desired description and we will get you set
up and visible to the vast Internet population (40,000,000 people). This is the least inexpensive
advertising opportunity
(and one that
will be effective for you) that will cross your path. Seriously consider getting listed with our lists
if you want to economically increase your customer traffic to your web site or your
business.

prominent Internet presence for your business:

customer base that would have never
known about you or your business. An audience that you could never reach with other medium -

traditional media and marketing methods?

your type anywhere
around. This is what Elists.com can do for you. The Internet levels the playing field.

figure stands at more than 60%) that are online or going online with their business and service
information.

online Internet users. Position yourself and be part of the Internet community. The Internet is

releases, etc. They are able to write better articles and news releases because they have more
information at their disposal.
