NING - which I consider to be excellent by the way - has done two things in a recent move.

First they now charge for the use of their sites - in my opinion that's fair. Try building something like this from scratch and you'll never stop paying an absolute fortune. Second, when one does pay, they take away the annoying adverts and let you do your own ... So - I'm going to try this approach and I'm going to start with THIS site.

My market reach is modestly excellent!
The re-tweet reach of this site is significant. The total potential reach of all MJB connections is now well over 12000 at first level, and it's a remarkably clear demography. Pin point addressing in many cases. Many on this site are already aware of direct business links that have been made through the connections of MJB.

Promote your business starting here?
So .... If you'd like a promotional piece to be displayed on the site, make a $10 donation below via Paypal. Send me some basic images and text and I'll have my Virtual Assistant (@ladybizbiz on Twitter), put something together. I'll display it on the site AND re-tweet the link until YOU say you've had your value back and then you can repeat the donation if you wish. Does that sound fair?

Promotional panels being prepared for:
Peninsular Business Services
Knowles Warwick Accountants
Silverman Sherliker Solicitors

Thanks folks :-)
