VEPS;

I have to agree with Kathleen.  I would suggets staying grass roots before you go online.  Let your customer base help you refine your product to their specifications.  Don`t tell them what tey want, let them tell you. 

Although I would try to get online as quickly as possible, there is a risk in getting on before your ready.  As with any project, you won`t know the kinks until you start growing.  Dealing with startup problems can be a lot easier face to face.  People who buy from you "grass roots" style will be a lot more forgiving, and eager to advise if you let them. 

Jack Canfield didn`t even get a publisher for "Chicken Soup" until he had 20,000 signatures of people offering to buy the book once it was published.

One more thought - Be careful with "the basement."  the last thing you need in the development stage is a basement full of moldy smelling prototypes.

Hit The Streets!
