THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Guru
If you're building your first site, you can experiment. Get creative.
There's really no right and wrong. Which is one of the reasons why the
Web is so much fun. But when you build your first small business site,
you don't want to settle for trial and error. You want cash flow.
Preferably in your direction. This is where Lycos Small Business comes
in. They're experts at taking your budding biz online and they're
willing to share the wisdom. In one place you can find the best way to
build your first site, attract and keep customers and then plan for
the future. So check it out. You can thank us later. Heck, you might
even give us a cut of the profits. OK, I said maybe.
BUILDING TIPS AND TRICKS
Find the latest and greatest homepage-building tips and tools here!
Maybe you're a painter. Maybe you're a musician. Maybe you build
birdhouses out of beer cans. It doesn't matter. Sooner or later you'll
want to sell your creative wonderment online. If you're tired of going
door to door, check with Webmonkey and make the leap to e-commerce.
N E T W O R K N E W S
Take full advantage of what the Internet has to offer!
We all need a little friendly advice from time to time. But what if we
told you that you could chat with someone who has the best advice in
town. But she's opinionated and slightly cranky. And that's on a good
day. Say hello to Crabby. Not so nice. But always right. Don't wimp out.
