   Search Linkedin to find emails or just cold call. I would suggest getting a strategy together to do this, just like you had a strategy for the business. For example: Identify possible buyers: The large players, Edmunds, AutoTrader, etc; La

   I think the big guys you mention in your post are your best bet for selling. Have you ever got feelers from them? It hurts you that you've taken the site down while you're trying to sell btw. You'll probably take a hit on your asking price

   Karma does not get rectified, it gets balanced. So don't worry. If there is someone down-voting your comments out of spite, karma will get them, and you will find joy and unexpected abundance when you least expect it.

   The chat feature is pretty sweet for a new service. That's a nice job on the part of the founders doing the extra work to help people out. Nice job guys, and good luck!

   What part? Marketing? Business planning? Bookkeeping? Or are you talking about business development as in acquiring new business? If you're just looking for general info, Inc. Magazine is a good place to start, especially Norm Brodsky's col

   You need to work on the dashboard. It wasn't at all intuitive how to get from the dashboard to the info your site is trying to share with me. Right now there is a giant link right in front of the user which leads back to the website. I don'

    What would make me switch? If I could still access all the Facebook info without using Facebook. That would make me switch.

    Awesome. That counts as working in my book. As long as it doesn't disappear :)

    I think its two big reasons. One, the thing you're selling is often negotiated. So company A might buy X, Y, and Z from you, and company B might buy X and M from you. They can and do ask software vendors to customize software to the point o

    If you don't have much traffic, why do you need so many webpages? Can you just put the info in a PDF? Or consolidate your pages and just use plain html like a regular ol' website.

    I agree. They're like mini case studies on what to improve, what to strive for, and what to avoid.

    I've seen it in small bookstores. I think the McNally Jackson Bookstore in SoHo in NYC has a printer for people to use.

    The author is not optimistic about the future at the end of his post, but don't digital books solve this problem? They are never sitting around in a warehouse. At the very least, they will change the equation.

    In the U.S., you can make a contract to sell just about anything in the future. Sell away. Unless its people, don't sell those. Or financial instruments; don't sell those either without filling out the right forms. Just know that if you don

    I suggest some of Seth Godin's earlier books. "All Marketers are Liars" and "Purple Cow." Marketing is one of those things you can adapt to any business, any product, you just need to figure out how the lessons apply to what you're doing.

    Can you recommend a different book that would be more useful to someone trying to edit Twitter Bootstrap from a beginner's perspective?

    You sirs, are both awesome. I think I need to do more research into all of this and find a good how-to guide because if I didn't know how to do the above, I probably shouldn't be doing it until I know more. I've been down that path before a

    So how do you find what to adjust in the CSS? Just read through it until you figure it out? For example, if I wanted to make four columns instead of three?

    Any recommendations on how to use grids? I've seen them talked about but I don't actually know what to do with it. How does it help you?

    Your description makes it sound like a get rich scheme. So step 1 is to describe it completely opposite from how you're describing it now. Step 2 would be to ask your current customers for referrals. If trust is an issue, people trust their
