>Sorry, I forgot to change the subject line on my last email. Here's the same
>email, with a more logical subject header:
>
>Gang, I've been invited to give a presentation to the Ashland Chamber of
>Commerce and would appreciate any help you can give me with some questions.
>Topic of the ongoing series of presentations is described as:
>
>*********************************
>Making Money on the Internet
>
>We will feature local web sites and secrets of their success. Learn from
>the owners, developers and users of local businesses doing business on
>the Internet and making money at it.
>*********************************
>
>I'm going to have to speak in a more general sense, because we ourselves
>make our money doing Web development, not from any particular Web site. We
>could take our own Web sites offline and probably not suffer too much as a
>result. Plus, we have little experience working in the local market since
>most of our business comes from the San Francisco/Silicon Valley area.
>
>What I'd like to do is give a broad overview of the types of businesses that
>do make money from their Web sites (or experience other tangible benefits).
>Of particular interest would be the types of businesses that are common to a
>small tourist-oriented town like Ashland: motels, restaurants, bed &
>breakfasts, small retail shops, etc. Do any of you have anecdotes you can
>share about online successes experienced by businesses such as these? Or
>info on what these types of businesses should expect to pay for Web sites?
>
>Thanks for any help or suggestions you can provide.
