Advertising and Promoting your Business

This is a tough one, The toughest Part thus far...I am struggling already but I am one every site you can imagine. Promoting and advertising is something you have to be pateint with, people won't bite at first, because they don't know who you are, and unsure about you work. People are more likely to buy something from an advertisement they see in a magazine (even if they've never heard of the company) SIMPLY because its on an ad in a magazine! but when you're trying to start an online business people will suspect fraud,scams and anything else.

I am on:
Etsy shoppinkvelvet.etsy.com
Twitter twitter.com/shoppinkvelvet
Facebook facebook.com name (Shoppink Velvet)
Artfire artfirecom.shoppinkvelvet
Freewwebs pinkvelvet.freewebs.com
Myspace myspace.com/shoppinkvelvet
Blogspot pinkvelvetdesigns.blogspot.com
Youtube

Thats 7 SITES!! Still not as much traffic as I would like. Its not that people don't like my stuff, its that they're not seeing it! How do I get people to look at my stuff? I 'm not sure yet..PROMOTING, PROMOTING, PROMOTING!!!


I am telling all family and friends
I will soon have business cards
I am trying to sell on ebay (which is not working and probably will not work UNLESS I get an ebay store)
I am looking into any art fairs or craft shops that I can sell at
Most Importantly trying to promote by wearing my own jewelry so people can ask about it!!
