Speaking of good marketing, Jessica where's your picture?

I'ld say for any business to be a good business that company must be good at marketing. Does the guy at the top that gets all of the credit have to be a good marketer? No. This discusion seems to have two different aspects to it though. Jessica you seem to be speaking about a small business owner mostly a one person shop. if your flying solo it going to be a lot harder to be successful if you aren't a good marketer. A larger business can be run by some one that is a good businessperson but not a good marketer if that organization has a good marketing plan executed by the right people. Art T.

Matt, the other companies that I have found that do what you do also sell new cell phone plans. You might want to speak with the phone companies about how those franchising deals work. They will most likely have a format that you should follow. Art T.

Berry that invoicing product is duplicated with a few other gateway service providers. So you could have all of that without the higher paypal percentage rates and typically much better funding. Art T.

Don't do it.

Knowingly posting false information is unethical; regardless of an individuals' opinion. I have a feeling its also illegal at this point to do that. If you're a marketing firm and clients ask you to do things like that you need to say no. Any other answer would undermine your company and industry. Art T.

I think you can get that done at Best But as well. Art T.

Your web site looks a lot better now. When I get the time I'll poke around more and join. Is it free to join? Art T.

I can't get passed the first page on your site. Art T.

Randy Olson is a Biznik member that works with Stop motion. Art T.

John, my ideas about personal liability are mainly about his graphics business not incurring as many risky situations as say maybe a construction business or a taxi cab service. Art T.

Business entity is more about money then liability. I recently formed a corporation to save on taxes but in 10years plus of business I've never been sued. Talk to your tax accountant about this one before you move forward. Art T.

I'm interested. Art T.

life and the ability to enjoy it. Art T.

I found nothing pornographic about that slide show. I'ld hate to see Biznik begin to censor information like that. His business is legal and appropriate. Some one might log on and need a service like that and be happy they found him.

I've never heard of social media working as a direct sales toll. Social media has worked for me and other that I know. We've generated sale and made other valuable contacts. Normally a direct sales approach on social media is seen as tacky. Art T.

Hey, George, I've been on this site for a long time and I call tell you that the users are primarily small business people. Since its free however there is no way to track big business people logging on or just visiting and gleaning information for themselves. In fact that's part of the appeal of Biznik. Participation on Biznik drives the site and boosts your profile on the search engines. The idea here follows a simple method; contribute, participate, and grow. Others gaining benefit is the point. Just use Biznik the way you want and everything will be ok. Art T.

Hey, look some one is doing it now. They just posted an add in like five different places. You know the best thing to do is just ignore those posts. they get a lot less if no one posts on their adds. Art T.

Oh yeah there's money out there you just have to look harder to find it. Art T.

I guess I didn't clarify; you need to have business cards. I'll pass out business cards like candy on Halloween. That other stuff is expensive though. You can have it but you need to make sure it gets into the right hands and its good (Dennis's point). Art T.

You know the way I increased my SEO was by getting the Biznik gold star. I know that's a little bit a shameless self promotion but Biznik is good at getting you up their. Art T.

What part of town do you want to host an event? I've done a few at the Paragon on Queen Anne and they were pretty good. I was thinking about have a happy hour at the Nickerson Pub at the Fremont bridge. They have their own parking lot. Art T.

You're good Lori, we talk about almost everything here on Biznik. What kind of pricing questions do you have then? Art T.
