Knowing When You Need Help: The Best Kept Secrets of Online Business Success
Panel Members:
Bruce Golub, Phosphor Media
Laurie Fandel, MIVA Small Business
Jennifer Sobanet, Copernicus

If the only dumb question is the question that is never asked, then the only dumb task in e-commerce is one undertaken without asking "why me?". While an online business can give you a better return on investment than an on street business, it's not ALL that easy. And after it is all said and done, you are still creating a business. So, the best question might be "when and how do you ask for assistance with your e-commerce venture?"

From marketing strategies, business accounting, fulfillment, web development, and beyond, talk with a panel of business owners and business developers to find out how to determine when outside help is needed, how to find the RIGHT resources, and how to efficiently work with those resources to achieve maximum returns.
