[ale] [OT] Small Business Friendly Site

[AMIT AGRAWAL]

Try Hypermart.net. There are many similar sites which are based on the 
same principle that "Every businessman doesn't need to be a programmer". 
They provide a marketplace, an electronic payment system and support 
besides taking care of advertising. Alternatively for advertising you 
can also enter into adclub.com. They have a variety of plans.

Most of these buisness marketplaces have a variety of ready made scripts 
with samples, so all you have to do is know some HTML. If you don't, 
then get some kid to set up this site for you for a hundred dollars. 

THere are a couple of thers but I don't exactly remember. 

hope this helps
Amit
