Just wanted to shout out a simple hello. Been doing the e-commerce thing since 1999 (still have that initial business btw) and have recently, within the past several months, found my way into the IM and product development niche. Hoping to learn and share here. Del
Well back in 1999 I was working in the mortgage industry and came up with a line of marketing postcards that everyone in the office wanted a piece of. I took a chance and purchased a 12-month, 3-line advertisement in the back of a national mortgage magazine and badabing, a business was born -- selling customizable postcards to a ready niche. Around 2002, I came up with the industries first mortgage-specific greeting cards and dumped the postcard line which was inundated with competition (direct printers). So to this day, I sell greeting cards to the mortgage industry. However, my new found interest is both IM and niche product marketing. Case in point, I've developed various software that: * Builds Virtual Real Estate Sites based on keywords and RSS feeds. * Story-telling Headline system for sales pages. * Builds Article-based websites using easy templates and PLR. * Tinyurl substitute implementable at the user-level and does tracking. And currently working on a TAF implementation as well as an Autoresponder that does all the stuff the big boys' do. Del
