What are the best places to advertise online when I want to reach starting entrepreneurs?

Question

I want to reach people who 1. want to establish their own companies and create a success with them, 2. are looking for success business ideas, and franchises (which they know will cost some money for them, ofcourse, so no "free riders") and 3. are already in business (especially online) and need to advertise.

So are there any REALLY good websites with high amounts of traffic within these categories each month (like 1 million, or more), or
REALLY good newsletters about these subjects which provide true meaningful content to their readers, have high amount of subscribers who truly read these newsletters, and which can be sponsored by advertisers, or
high-traffic entrepreneurial blogs , etc etc...
If anybody knows, AND has own experience that these resources (what ever they are) have provided lots of clients, could you tell me too?
I am looking for resources to build hig traffic and to get LOTS of contacts to people of the above mentioned interest areas

Q: I want to reach people who 1. want to establish their own companies and create a success with them, 2. are looking for success business ideas, and franchises (which they know will cost some money for them, ofcourse, so no "free riders") and 3. are already in business (especially online) and need to advertise.
Try following captive generic sites for business news:-
1. businessweek-small biz section gets approx 3min page views a month
2. economist - ideal resource for business news
3. inc
4. smartmoney
5. redherring.com - small biz section

Hope u were more specific on the markets ur interested to target; each of these on line mags offers newsletters as an option to reach out to discerning audiences.

While on line advertising certainly gets u targeted audience, viral applications would also help u spread your word across the hi-profile surfers. We can consider a referral program that can ideally aid in getting more registrations for your product/ service. Further, being a b2b initiative there are lots of sites across specialized, niche areas such as : IT, Fashion, Travel et al. Look at the growth sectors that web2.0 has to offer, namely,: Travel, On line Trading, Merchant Banking, Technology Solutions and similar industries. You could search for AC Nielsen Top Growth industries and consider options therein.

Go Ahead...Indulge!

A few free resources – check out the sources box for links:

1) Create a blog pertaining to your field

2) Use Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups – Be sure to read the TOS for each one!

3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise.

4) Advertise on Craiglist

Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other's sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission.

I listed a few handy sites & articles relating to marketing, promotion & advertising. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
