– Curt, As an iMALL consultant, I can tell you that the iMALL is probably the best of the internet malls out there. However, I do not like the sales hype they use to get consultants. I suppose it’s like everything else, "big riches, big dollars, litle work". That part is just not true. Another thing that they mis-inform you about is the fact that the business world is NOT falling over each other to get "on the Internet". And there are PLENTY of "internet sites" available through the chamber of commerce, yellow pages, shopper papers, etc. It seems as though the whole print advertising community is offering "on-line advertising" as a part of their service. And their prices are very reasonable (even more so than iMALL). I found this out by selling it "door to door" to local businesses (which was not my intent with iMALL, I just had time to kill). I plan on marketing it through the mail. I should also mention I got into iMALL through Brad Richdales office, and the price was MUCH cheaper than the iMALL seminar was asking (it’s not quite the same program, but it’s close enough. I just can’t sell the full blown website, I have to refer the customer to iMALL, and make a commission on them. I can directly sell classifieds, homepages and such, which is 90% of your biz anyway). I also did not get the all day seminar (they told me if I wanted to be a full blown rep, they would credit me the price I payed Richdale’s office).

I’d stay away from this one. There was a free seminar locally (they’re based here in LA) and they seem to be preying on the uninformed to sell worthless "web sites" to even less informed merchants. The "web sites" are simply listings like a classified ad. Web advertising is in such an infant stage now, with some pretty knowledgeable people losing money, that this just doesn’t seem like a "real" opportunity. On the other hand, the seminars are free, and if there is one in your town, go and judge for yourself. !^NavFont02F02720008IGCDHI737716 — Gary Persons Glendale, CA Using OUI PRO 1.5 Available from http://www.peaktopeak.com
