Newbie from Africa - Hi Everyone! Just launched a new multi admin site "Naijayard" It's an Online Shopping Catalogue and is set to be a connection between buyers/sellers from Africa and buyers/sellers from other parts of the world! Its's quite new but I have my entrepreneurial muscles up. It cost a lot to build since its bespoke and multi-admin, but its worth it. We are on the promotion phase now, which has a whole different set of challenges,but I'll keep you posted.You can go look at the site and support the best way you can. It doesn't cost a thing to get a "Yard" (Store), so if you know any seller that wants to reach the African Market, this is one stressless medium. Suggestions are Welcome!

Re: Brag: 100 Confirmed email opt-ins - I'm very impressed with what I've read. I'm pretty new to this sort of thing and so far I'm not getting too many people signing up - I get about 60 hits a day on my web for about 30 visits but I don't get new email opt-ins- ony 5 in the last 3 months. Obviously there's something I could be doing but ain't or there's something I am doing but shouldn't. Suggestions would be welcomed. I update my web weekly and update my blog twice a week and have been posting articles on Evan Carmichael now for 5 weeks. Doug Long
Some help for a good lawyer!!! - Hello everybody. I’m a Lawyer and I’m learning, reading and applying some concepts. What I really want to do is to offer some of my services. Now I have three more lawyers working for me, but I want to make my business something real and important. I’ve being looking for someone who could help me with my logo design, but I have found just people who want to design for themselves… I need someone who makes a good work that really seems it’s my business. Suggestions?
Distribution? - Hey All, I've got the opportunity for an awesome product for an extremely niche market. I would like to know if anyone has gone through the process of streamlining/setting up a business in such a manner? From what I believe, this product will initially appeal to amateur automotive hobbists. So we're talking a highly defined market but definitely narrow to start. The product could eventually scale up to performance market outlets, the owner/inventor wants to try a more grassroots start. Suggestions/advice would be great. Thanks!
