But that's just the beginning...     Self-Publishing Options   Business Directory Page Marketplace Events Calendar DynaBiz Employment (Job Postings) Coupons & Promotions Newsletters   Non Self-Publishing Advertising Opportunities   Banner Ads Section Sponsorships Other Sponsorships (Contests, Opt-In Email Lists, Polls, Forums) Specialty Guide Listings Content Highlighting (Have your content displayed on just about any page) Listings Plus- Have your listing displayed at the top of your category     What is Self-Publishing?   Self-Publishing allows you to enter and edit your own content that is published on West Valley Online at your convenience from any computer with Internet access.  Examples of Self-Publishing for businesses are your Directory Listing, Coupons & Promotions, Products you publish in the Marketplace, Job openings, Events and Announcements.    Click here to see an example of what a business can self-publish on WVOL.     Why Advertise or Self-Publish?   West Valley Online is the ONLY website in the area offering a comprehensive business directory (similar to the yellow pages but easier to use) AND FREE CLASSIFIED ADS.   Classified ads are a very popular item and this website serves a general population of over 1,000,000.  Word spreads fast, and soon tens of thousands of people will be using the free Classified Ads every day to sell and buy various goods and services.      Why not advertise on Google instead?   If you are a local business, chances are your potential customers are in your city or area.  You need to market on websites that reach your LOCAL target.  Google has a worldwide reach.  It is unlikely you will effectively reach your target market on Google unless your target market is worldwide.  For general web searching on all possible subjects, Google is the best search tool.  For reaching your local potential customers on the West side of Phoenix, West Valley Online is your most effective advertising option.  A flat fee advertising program on West valley Online is also more cost effective than a complex, variable cost, Google Ad Words campaign.     What if my business already has its own website?   Great!  WVOL can add a link from your FREE listing in the business directory.  Again, you need to be connected locally, to be found locally.  Having a website alone, even with proper search engine optimization is not an effective or efficient marketing plan.      What if I need a website?   West Valley Online can provide you with a custom designed website and the content can be managed by you, without any technical expertise whatsoever.  We are able to do this by using our software, DynaBiz.  Your DynaBiz website, with its own design and domain name of your choice, can seamlessly share content with the West Valley Online portal.  For example, if you login to WVOL/DynaBiz to add a new product page to your website, you can choose to have that new product be displayed only on your website, only in the WVOL e-Mall or both!  Our design partner, BiznizWeb, Inc. will handle the process for you from start to finish.   Click here for examples of DynaBiz websites around the world.      How can I pay for Self-Publishing accounts?   You may pay with Visa or MasterCard by via PayPal or by check. To learn more about specific Self-Publishing options, pricing and payment methods, click on the option you are interested above.   When will my Self-Publishing account “go live”?   As soon as we receive your payment, your account will go live and you will be notified via e-mail.  When an account goes live, you will see new publishing options upon logging into “My WVOL”.
