Hello everyone I would like to invite all parents to an online seminar. Here is our Intro:
The affects of the internet on our society are so vast that we have yet to realize the full extent of them. An important trend that is being overlooked is the influence that the internet has on families by providing the opportunity for one or more parents in a household to run a small business from their home.
Upon researching this issue we were surprised to discover the lack of comprehensive information concerning parents using the internet to run a small business.
Most research concerning the internet focuses on issues such as the rate of usage, accessibility, information dispersal, censorship and online shopping statistics. On the whole researchers have failed to account for who is engaging in ecommerce. These issues are so new that research organizations and statistics agencies, such as the U.S. Census Bureau, have failed to adapt their polls in order to determine the affect that the internet is having on small businesses in general. As a result, we are forced to presume that an unknown number of parents have recognized the business opportunities presented by the internet to improve the quality of life for themselves as well as their children.
We believe that people involved in this trend must have a great deal to say, yet this group of people is virtually unknown to policy makers. Because ecommerce is so new, many policies regulating it have yet to be made. The internet enables many parents to spend more time with their children and/or supplement their income in ways otherwise not possible if they were required to leave their homes. We feel that it is important for parents who conduct business online to organize and discuss issues relevant to their businesses so that common concerns can be recognized and addressed before policies are made.
Yardsale SurferTM would like to invite all parents to an online seminar on the topic of ‘Parents in e-commerce’. This seminar is meant to be an opportunity for parents in e-commerce or interested in e-commerce to exchange ideas and discuss their perspectives of the industry.
Topics for discussion include:
· How has your e-commerce business influenced your life and your families?
· What are the major concerns or obstacles you face with your e-commerce business?
· Do you find there is lack of support from friends/family or society for your business?
· What are your personal perspectives about shopping online? What are your concerns about shopping online? Do your friends and families shop online? Do your friends and family share your concerns?
· What do you think can be done to further the success of your personal e-commerce business?
· What challenges do you face concerning administrative, accounting and/or tax issues?
The seminar will be hosted by the Yardsale SurferTM chat forum
http://www.yardsalesurfer.com/people/We at Yardsale SurferTM believe that people involved in e-commerce today are a pioneering group who will help define the nature of e-commerce for generations to come. Yardsale SurferTM is a new online auction site that was founded by two couples that are both parents. We turned to ecommerce to supplement our income and to work from home in order to spend more time with our children and improve the quality of our lives. We believe it is important for parents to come together in order to support this opportunity for future generations. Our goal is to cultivate a business that supports parents involved in e-commerce. We are looking forward to working with the innovative and enterprising people that have been brave enough to make their personal contribution to the new and emerging realm of e-commerce. Once again we will be hosting this seminar in our chat forum
