Hi,
I am in the pre start-up stage of starting a natural-body product distribution company. My initial product offering will be a range of natural body soaps I am importing from the Caribbean. I am looking for someone to help me put together a functional web-site. As I am in the early stages of development, my financial resources are limited. As such, payment will be a combination of cash and an assortment of the natural soaps I plan to be selling. If you are a regular user of natural soaps you will not be disappointed by these particular soaps.
Please contact me with your contact information so that we can set up a meeting to discuss the payment structure and the site content.
Principals only. Recruiters, please don't contact this job poster. Please, no phone calls about this job! You may contact job poster about other services, products or commercial interests. Reposting this message elsewhere is NOT OK. this is in or around Manhattan, Jersey City

Re: New form of compensation
Well you could give away some of the soap as gifts to friends and family that use the soap.
I've been thinking of developing a web store in Active Server Pages, because a few people asked me about doing a web store for them in the past. I figure I could make it open source and charge them for the modifications and support. Obviously the version usuing Access won't be scalable for enterprise level stores, so I could make a free version using Access and an Enterprise system using SQL Server or Oralce which costs more. Sort of like what Red Hat does for its Linux. That way I can have a template to work off of and then add to it based on what the client needs for a web store.

Yahoo stores cost money
and this guy doesn't want to pay a lot of money for an online store. Remember, he wants to pay for some of it in Soap, I don't think Yahoo will take soap as a payment. :)
He most likely has a Cable or DSL connection, and some brand of Windows that he wants to run the store on. He wants something quick and cheap, that he can pay off on with his own natrual soap products.
