Who will benefit most from your product? This is a good question to keep in mind when looking for collaborations. It’s particularly true if you’re trying to approach a business. Remember that they will have their own interests at heart, so they’ll want to know how you can help them. A friend of mine used to send postcards to bars that said, “I want to help you sell liquor.” Of course his band got gig! So instead of thinking of ways for you to benefit from others, start thinking of ways they can benefit from you: you’re sure to have success. Where to begin? No matter what, you have to begin somewhere; otherwise you won’t begin at all. Though it does matter where you start, what is most important is THAT you start. Start small if you’re nervous about getting your feet wet, but once you start, remember; you can never stop. This is your business; this is you. And your life and financial future could be counting on it. _____________________________________________________________ Up and Coming Renaissance woman, founder of National Artistic Effort, social activist, and expert self-promoter, Ja-Nae Duane, is taking world by storm.....one gig at a time.

That mouse at your fingertips can't help you succeed, friend. Wrong animal, although at least it's a mammal, too.

It can take a while and it can take some work. Finding good, real people online IS possible. That's reason why WAHumor.com exists.

Did you really think a raving Inter-idiot like me could pull this off...alone???

Yeah, probably.

After lots of time, sweat ,tears, frustration, rage, doubt...and I do mean LOTS.

What else can you do?

Find a good place or two to talk to some good people.

We're making one right here at WAHumor.com...in our very own forum.

Now and in future, you'll meet some amazing people at WAHumor forum, many of whom helped me get here.

And you'll meet people like you with questions and concerns like yours - getting answers.

Ain't got no gurus here - it's just folks like me and you-hoo.

C'mon, let's go meet everybody...starting July 19.

WAHumor.com, premier work at home humor website, officially launches on Saturday, August 2, 2003. The site pre-launches on July 19 when forum goes live - be there for a special announcement you don't want to miss! Subscribe today at www.WAHumor.com
