we can help each other out with IC & financially!

I know a lot of us on here are unemployed and searching for something we can do at home to make money, I was thinking,
what if we all helped each others' businesses to grow and also provided wonderful ic products at discounted prices for everyone here to benefit from.

this might be fun, we can start off small and see where it goes,
it would be at first just like friends buying our products, and if the business never takes off at least we had some fun and it was a hobby to take our minds off of our ic for awhile, for example one of us could start making homemade cookies (IC friendly of course), and another could make all natural IC friendly soap, etc., we can then get IC products at affordable prices while helping each other out economically to afford all the things we need to pay for for our families and the expenses that IC itself brings!!


maybe we could have a forum where we can sell
items through here
just an idea I hope to get replies,
Heather

I like your idea Heather, I am suprised that more people didn't respond. I have thought of the same thing. If people would like to set up a list (if you have websites that would be cool too) I would put a page on my website for this! Any takers?????

Let's do this before Christmas! Julie :-)

Well heres a thought since I know there were some things about the idea that were risky to ICN.....Maybe a board where we could share links to our businesses website or something. Basicly keeping us from actually selling through the site. Maybe that is sort of what you meant. Possibly worth thinking about.....but if not here maybe a site like the ICNers (a msn site) could do that.

As I said, I am willing to put up a website, but how would we link to it, to tell new people about it without tying ICN into it.........and I guess people could always put their "hobbies" that make money in their signature........

makes me crazy that weridos can sell anything on the web they want and all of us with high standards end up second guessing ourselves..........sighs.........

Let's see what other ideas come up............J
