    Hi Rich,
    Start-up Nation’s Annual Home-Based Business contest is fabulous for not only gaining web exposure but for engaging voting participants - I love it when I get an email or text from someone who has excitedly noted that my entry status has “upped a notch” on the meter…Thanks for providing a venue for all of us to showcase our products or services!

    Hi Rich,

    Thanks for letting us know about the Small Business Yahoo! and Bank of America contest. I WON! The ad revenue for Yahoo! and the consultation with Kevin Salwen is awesome! I highly recommend a consultation with Kevin to anyone starting up a small business. Thanks again!
