    Helping successful old-school companies with a shitty online presence

    IDEA 
    Concrete guys are on personal, business to business relationships mostly. You'd do better targeting concrete companies that do retail work as well.

    Online Marketplace

    I don’t own BD the software company, am just a customer. They own the private FB group, then invite you into it when you purchase their marketplace. It’s mostly us members asking each other questions on it (what I meant by we).

    Should I go to college or start my own business?

    INTRO

    Purchasing & Using Third-Party Email Lists

    WEB/DIGITAL
