Welcome to the Dot Com Survival Kit

[Hierophant]

This is the first in a series of special interest forums that effect our lives are Web Developers and Business Owners.

Periodically we will create a special interest forum that effects covering things that directly effect us.

Following the subject post your ideas and suggestions to help people build their business online.

Quick question,

Why are these icons (which are awesome, by the way) not in every forum? They could be an interesting addition.

[Matt Mickiewicz]

Hmm... maybe the discussion in this Forum over the next month or so could be compiled into a comprehensive guide.

"Your Dot Com Survial Guide"

[goober]

Matt,

I like your thinkin'.

[Nicky]

That would be a great guide to distribute as an e-book Matt!

[goober]

If you make the guide in a .txt file, i'd happily convert it to palm '.doc' format. It'd give me a feeling of importance after all.

Goober, are you in Ireland?

[goober]

Nicky,

No, not currently...My great-grandfather came over from Ireland during the great potato famine.

I'm just very in touch with my heritage, and the fact that, well, Irish people rock...

(okay, back to the topic -- PM me for more, Nicky.)

No.. I had thought about something like that, but I decided that was covered by f*ckedcompany.com. Instead I chose to focus on the positive sides of running a dot com or business and would like to use this as a way to bring out ideas and suggestions for success in a difficult market.

Hints and tips specifically geared towards succeeding in what is becoming an ever increasingly brutal playing field.

There is an old saying of "Only the Smart Survive". I want to give our members the edge they need to stay smart and survive.
