    What exactly is your business?

    I love talking about my company and I love hearing about others, as well I haven’t really heard what a lot of people on here do. So what do you do...

    I'll start:

    My company owns and operates several magazines onboard major airlines, as well as a few finance trade publications. We dabble in direct mailings here and there too.

    Aside from the traditional media we are in the process of developing an interactive advertising platform for in store retail. We're integrating our in house RFID software we had from a previous venture that we sold off and using it as a base platform for this. This is my baby at the moment and gets me excited to come to work.

    Lastly we took a 2 of the programmers who work for us and they're making quant algorithms for a few trading strats my partner and I had, we both used to work in quant finance roles before stumbling upon this.

    Ok, well you lost me with all the quant talk.
    My business is helping others start their own businesses (see signature)!

    I previously owned a franchise (children's retail) and a couple of other small businesses. Right after the grand opening of my shop, I was standing around thinking, "Well that was fun and exciting (the startup phase), but I'm bored already." I immediately started looking at other businesses.

    I realized it was the challenge and excitement of the startup that I loved. I even enjoyed writing all the business plans I had written when researching dozens of franchises.

    And so Start Your Own Small Business Step-by-Step was created.

    My business is more of an organization. I broke into a remote field of advertising and competition with a good friend of mine. We started a video game team around 2003. Since then, we have added multiple teams and have attended many tournaments including the prestigious MLG. We can now officially call ourselves a Professional Gaming Community.

    Video games is the fastest growing and most competitive field of play now and is a great area to break into for advertisement/sponsorship.

    Also bopa, for your post about the magazines, articles on video games would also attract a younger crowd as today, technology and information are continually evolving.

    If you would like to talk more in depth about details, feel free to contact me, as I would love to shar more information.

    Sure, if you could narrow it down to a specific topic and send over some samples of previous work i'd be happy to see what i can do. If i cant use it, i'll send it around to some friends if you really want to get published.

    I run a content creation and SEO services firm for webmasters.

    I have a handful of affiliate marketing websites that work very well for me.

    I'm currently trying to get an importing/exporting operation started in Mexico. Having a lot of difficulties securing the shipping (I think customs is stealing some of my goods...well at least someone is)

    And will be buying my first vacation rental by the end of this year - a multiunit maybe a duplex.

    I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.

    My primary business at the moment is servicing the Christian apparel market. I have several unique online venues that cater to different segments within this market, the most prominent of which is the fundraiser segment. With our fundraisers, I have church groups and youth groups that sell our shirts & hoodies to raise money for their events, mission trips, etc. This market has stayed very active considering the recent downturn in the US economy.

    I also have several web service ventures in the works and are hoping to acquire a bible reading plan website that is a free service, but would be an excellent marketing venue for our current business.

    To put it vaguely, I started a blog. Reporting on online money making opportunities i came across, and other subjects like traffic generating, and getting more people to join your business. Im going to put out a vlog about the ridiculous amount of people who are a part of MLM's and just spam every place they can hoping to get thousands of sign ups. When all you need is about 6 =).

    Basically my business grew into a business which helps people out with finding free ways to make money online, and at the same time generating me income.
    I would love to have you as a part of my growing team.

    I run DeWolf eMarketing & Design. Which means I do web copywriting (keeping SEO in mind), graphic and web design, and eMarketing Planning for businesses. This involves creating plans using all aspects of eMarketing including social media, potential mobile marketing, widget marketing, banner ads, adwords (pay per click), press releases, etc.

    I also specialize in some incredibly in-depth web site evaluations (for an extremely low price), including customer usability and functionality, SEO aspects, and landing page evaluations. Contact me if you're interested in these evaluations so I can give you an example and we can talk about pricing. My last report was 12 pages long, and my customer was very satisfied.

    I'm currently slowing things down, as I'm beginning my MBA full-time in late August!
