Every week we receive a number of requests asking for help in locating a piece of information or a product. More often than not, we direct the requestor to the same set of resources. So to help you in your search for information, we've listed (in no particular order) our top ten favourite resources.
I-Sales Digest
Formed in November 1995, the goal of the Internet Sales Moderated Discussion List is to provide a forum for meaningful and helpful discussion of online sales issues by those engaged in the online sale of products and services. John Audette, a leading expert on Internet marketing, moderates the list. It is published daily by e-mail.
I-Sales Help Desk
This discussion list was spun off from the successful I-Sales list at the end of 1997. It too is targeted at those involved in online sales, but focuses more on helping people solve specific problems. Moderated by Eva Rosenberg, it is published by e-mail three times a week.
