Happy Tuesday To You,
This week we jump back on track to continue my series on starting your own brick & mortar business from scratch.
We've done our market rereplace, created a startup plan, found our location, and now it's time to build out the space.
That means it's time to start interviewing contractors (insert scary music here).
While dealing with contractors has been known to drive even the strongest of men and women totally insane, it doesn't have to be that way if you do your homework and stick to your guns. More below.
Also this week we're going to look at social networking on sites like Facebook and Twitter.
I've finally caved to pressure from my peers and set up my own Facebook and Twitter pages.
If nothing else it will be a great way for you and I to network with each other and thousands of others around the globe. Learn more below.
Don't forget that this is also the time of year that I do my Annual Subscriber Survey.
This is your opportunity to tell me what you're most interested in learning about in the coming year.
Just for taking the survey I'll put you in the running to win a copy of Ken Blanchard's excellent new book "The One Minute Entrepreneur." Details below.
This week's Tim's Top Pick is a hot one.
Did you know there are over 59 MILLION people shopping on Amazon every month? Here's how you can cash in.
As always, don't forget to check out my audio archives, video archives, articles database, and newsletter archive.
Enjoy!

Dealing With Contractors?
Get Your Hammer Ready
This week continues my series on opening a brick and mortar retail store from scratch.
So far we've talked about startup plans, market rereplace, and scouting for locations.
This week we discuss how to find a capable building contractor to build out the location.
And as this series has been thus far, this segment is based on my personal experience and offered to you warts and all.
As with all of my columns only the names have been changed to protect the innocent, the ignorant, and the overly litigious.
Network With Me On Facebook & Twitter
OK, I resisted this whole social networking thing as long as I could.
Honestly, I've yet to see the true value in having vanity pages on sites like Facebook and Twitter, but all my pals keep telling me that if you don't have a presence on these sites you're missing out.
Well never let it be said that I resisted the good advice of those in the know... :o)
So, if you'd like to be my friend on Facebook or follow me on Twitter, here are the links to do so.
And when you become my friend, I'll reciprocate and do the same with you.
You'll need to set up a Facebook and Twitter account to do so, but that just takes a few minutes.
It'll be a great way for us to keep in touch beyond this newsletter.
Tim's Top Pick: Get Instant Access To 59,624,000
New Customers A Month
I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little fed up with eBay.
It seems they change the rules everyday, making it extremely hard
for sellers to conduct business.
Well, I'm happy to report that there is an alternative to selling
on eBay.
I'm talking about a website that gives you access to 59,624,000
NEW CUSTOMERS every month.
And unlike eBay, there are NO LISTING FEES.
And you could have your first sale up and running and earning
profits by tomorrow morning.
What is this excellent alternative to eBay?
Believe it or not, it's Amazon.com, the ecommerce GIANT that is
now YOUR best opportunity for selling online.
I learned about the huge potential of selling on Amazon from
Steve Lindhorst, who was one of six national eBay University
Instructors.
His new ebook, "Selling on the River: The eBay Seller’s Guide to Amazon" is a must read for anyone selling on eBay (happy or not) that
will get you up and running on Amazon.com in no time flat.
Steve gives you every tip, trick, and strategy that he uses to
sell on Amazon everyday, leaving no stone unturned.
Don’t let yourself be a victim of the next unexpected change
at eBay, which we know could come at any moment.
