Kathy, this is where you and I differ. I`m a firm believer in PASSION. Your web site is simply an extension of yourself, not a calling card that is going to sell anything.

What did folks do prior to the web??

They beat down doors, getting folks excited about their product. You can sell your product very easily, without ever having a finshed web site. But it takes hard work, excitement about your product, a passion and belief that you`ve got the most dynamic, exciting and creative product on the market since sliced bread.

I recall an email that I received from your business associate that talked about not wanting to "mass produce" your product ... and was more geared to the individual. But as you have shared, the "individual" market just isn`t buying your product. It may be that your product is a dud ... or it just might be that you and your team may just not have all the pieces in place. Why not wholesale your product to an established and profit driven enterprise?

It is very unlikely thayt a local Staples or Office Max or chain store will buy into your product line. hey have no authority to purchase items. Everything must go through corporate.

However, the 18 yr old is the "company". Have you been in contact with them? There`s your jackpot right there. Don`t give up on your dream !! (If you truly believe that you have the greatest item since sliced bread. If you don`t beleive in your product, then give up. You are then wasting your time. And life is tooooo short to be wasting time.)
