Whether you’re new to Flying Solo or already a member, chances are you’re not aware of all the benefits of free membership. Here’s a guide to the basics.

23 Jan 12 | Advertorial

Free Flying Solo membership brings you exposure through our business directory, a subscription to our popular email newsletters, invitations to events and access to a library of member-only downloads.

That’s on top of hundreds of articles, videos and podcasts.

But the most powerful benefit of free membership is that it enables you to participate in the community by connecting with other members: gaining exposure through commenting on articles and posting on the forums.

Here’s how it works:

Start by joining up – it’s quick and free!

If you haven’t already, the first step is to become a free member. It’s fast, free and easy to sign up. You’ll get instant access to the full features of the site.

List your business in the directory

All free members have the option of adding a basic business listing in Flying Solo’s directory which includes a link to your website, space to talk about what you do and contact details. You can create this when you sign up and add & edit later in the ‘My account’ section of the site.

Add a comment, share your expertise

Leaving a comment on a site article is the easiest way to connect with other members. When you are logged in, you can have your say by simply typing and submitting your comments via the form at the bottom of every article.

This is an ideal way to build your profile because not only do you get to have your say, every comment displays a link your directory listing, your profile and your own website. There’s no better way to gain exposure!

Join our lively forum discussions

With thousands of friendly, helpful and generous members, on Flying Solo’s forums, there’s always someone to bounce ideas off, swap advice with and share expertise.

The depth and variety of discussions and the generosity of fellow members is astonishing. We also have informal meet-ups being arranged around the country via the forums. Yet another great way to build connections.

Download your specialist reports

Based on key findings from our last couple of Understanding Micro Business national audience surveys, we’ve pulled together a number of reports for members that address hot small business topics.
