post moved from another thread-
I took some advice from MJ and started my own forum (not at all related to this one so no conflict of interest) and am now getting ready for the final phase of promoting it. But before i do that, I would love for some of you more experienced internet entrepreneurs to critique it. Let me first say that my site isn’t an original idea but I feel strongly that it is better than anything else out there than exists right now. You see I am a foodservice salesman which means I sell food to restaurants, jails, bars, schools, hospitals and basically anywhere that serves food. There are a lot of people in this industry and up until my site the only real place where we would go was place called http://Foodservicerumors.com But to be honest it is not very user friendly and it really isn’t in a forum style where you can post and then reply easily. On their site you have to send an e-mail and then they will post it for you (a process that takes a few days) In addition to get to that point you have to go from the main page to another page and then click on the news and comment section. Check it out so you know what I mean.
Anyway I feel my site is better from a user friendly standpoint and I think (of course I am bias) that it looks a whole lot better. Now the reason I chose this type of forum is because 1) it interests me 2) there is a large amount of people in this industry/ specialty- my best guess is over 100,000 people nationwide 3) there exists some opportunity to get revenue from manufacturers (example Tyson Foods )who would want to focus some advertising dollars directly to a sales force who can then market those products to end users. 4) there isn’t a forum (that I am aware of or have been able to find) that exists for this group. So I would appreciate any feedback you can give regarding it (the site) and my overall business premise. I don’t think this site will make me rich but I do feel like I can make it profitable and will be educational for me in the realm of web business.
I would also be remiss if I didn’t plug Tom at Apto hosting. This guy is awesome. He took my calls any time day or night and made the whole process easy for me, an admitted ignoramus when it comes to anything involving the internet and making a website. So with all that said here is the link to my site please let me know what you think.http://foodservicesalesman.com
Please keep in mind that this is just the beginning and it doesnt have many posts right now but you will get the general idea of what I am going for and who I am trying to connect with. Look forward to some constructive criticism.
