Jeff Stone, the creator of the newly launched [I hope!] webhost Bkiosk, was good enough to give us forewarning about this exciting new facility by posting a comment to my post earlier this month No More Excuses: Set Up Your Website which offered suggestions about free otpions for writers seeking to establish a blog. I visited the site immediately and learned just enough to know that it was worth looking forward to. At that visit, most of the site’s capabilities and features were still under wraps, but what I did see was very enticing. I marked my calendar for Jeff’s anticipated launch day, 22 December [or thereabouts] And, now, that day is finally here! Let’s see if Jeff met his deadline.
Being the curious sort, I tracked down an article by Jeff atarticle directory ArticlesBase about marketing strategies. In it, he gives broad hints about the capabilities of the upcoming Bkiosk site. In it, he underscores that Bkiosk can be used for dissemination of downloadable PDF ebooks [and maybe even audiobooks]. The downloads can be offered for free — or one can charge a fee, with the website automating the process. Hey, writers, this sounds ideal for us!
While I’m mentioning this article, let me say a word about Jeff’s own marketing. First, by posting an article at ArticlesBase, he’s getting word out about his project and building additional identity on the internet. Writers, of course, can do the same I was myself skeptical at first about writing for such article directories. I’ve even posted about this avenue of promotion and income. But in recent months, I’m becoming more aware of the importance of this marketing strategy for driving traffic to your own site. Writers should consider exploring it.
Along with Bkiosk, Jeff is setting up the Small Business Internet Cooperative, with its own website and blog.

Hay Tom,
thanks for the kind words.
I'm opening my site today for people wanting a free place to host their own blog.
I think it would be great if you would take a pole position to encourage writers to use Bkiosk.com.
The benefits to you would be that you can use the site as an automatic back link generator for your site.
Here something unique re the money issue.
Once you have your own blog you can send people you know to your site and encourage them to sign up through a widget on your sidebar. (nothing new yet)
We have a tracking system in place that registers any people that sigh up through your new Bkiosk site as someone you sponsored. When the site get filled with small businesses all selling something and someone you sponsored buys something off of the site you make money. This is all hard coded into the membership numbering system. This happens whether you know about the product being offered or not. In affect it makes you an affiliate for any product offered through the “offerings” interface, as long as you referred them they are yours for life. We're talkin' residual income here.
Ready go!!
Once again thank you,
Jeff Scott

Jeff, thanks for your comment. Your promo copy has certainly caught my
attention, leading to my post which was written a couple of weeks in advance
of posting. Yes, I'll certainly sign up to better understand what you are
up to.
Your offering comes during a time when I'm immersing myself in various
projects that claim to ease the task of selling something online — like an
ebook for example. The array of offerings is rather bewildering. Frankly,
your looks like one of the most promising, though I will not pass judgment
until I've experimented with it for awhile.
