You are just a wealth of information! These websites ought to get any new business off to a great start. I wish I had known about selling on other sites before I purchased all of my websites. Then again, had I not purchased my websites, I probably wouldn't have known anything about it and I wouldn't have met great people like you!
Thanks for the prayers too. I have a busy year ahead but in the end it's all worth it :)
Oh by the way, I just launched a new ecourse on Having a Healthy Heart. Check it out at http://www.stressreliefbyrv.com/heart_health
