1. Talk about us
Word of mouth is the best advertising there is. Think around you who could be interested by French Today: your colleagues, fellow students, teachers, any friend or family member is studying/studied French? Or travels to France? Or enjoy French wine or food? And if you need business cards, just contact us, we'll send some to you by mail.
2. Click our community buttons
At the top of the home page, the blog and the product pages, you'll see buttons: Facebook Like, Tweet and Google +1. If you use these social networks, clicking these buttons would help us tremendously: they get the word out and they help French Today rank higher in searches. So, whenever you are browsing the site and you like what you are reading/listening, please remember to click :-)
3. Leave comments on our blog
Again, the more comments, the more visibility, plus it makes us feel good when people tell us they like what we do. It's very important to us.
4. Review a product
If you have a blog, we'd love it if you could review one of our products. In exchange for your unbiased review, we'll reimburse the cost of the product to you: contact us for more info.
5. Enroll in our affiliate program
You have a website, or a blog ? Send us some traffic and get 20 to 30% of the sale generated by your site! We are using a special program that can track back the origin of the sale: you'll have a special link on your site: if people click on your French Today link, and buy something, then you get paid. It's that easy. More details on our affiliate program
6. Write an article about us
Member of the press? We have an interesting story (self starters, author of 100+ hours of audio, raised in France, moving to the US for 18 years then returning back to the north of France) and a unique approach to teaching. Don't hesitate to contact us for an interview or quotes...
7. Become a blog writer
You know France inside out, or love French cooking: if you feel you have an expertise about something France related, and are dependable and serious about contributing to our blog, we'd love to hear about it. Contact us.
8. Distribute business cards and/or posters
You live in a neighborhood with French restaurants, French bakeries... know of French clubs? Your university has a French department? If you think you could leave a stock of business cards at one of these places, or hang a poster on an information board, it would be awesome! Just contact us and we'll mail you some business cards, posters...
9. Send us a quote
We're always updating our customer quotes so don't hesitate to send a quote - if we could use your name, profession, town and country, it would be even better - but we can also keep it to just your first name and country.
10. Buy our products and/or take phone lessons with me
This one is rather obvious... that's how we make a living! Browse our product guide to find the best tool for learning French, or read about what makes my French phone lessons so efficient.
Each and every one of these steps would help our business grow. Thank you to all our patrons who made moving from a large US city, quiting well paid jobs and returning to France possible. We love our new life close to our family in a small town, and hope French Today keeps growing so we can raise our daughter close to our loved ones. Mille mercis!!!
