Description:
My company, AEF Media, DBA The Churchyard, is looking for $25k - $35k in small business funding in order to expand. We currently have a sales plan involving development of an e-commerce side of the web site. The Churchyard ((URL removed)) has already launched under a BETA version, with the new version still in development. Part of the money is to fund the web designer and administrator who is designing the new version and updating our PHP / SQL database to private servers. Other moneys will go toward acquiring merchandise for the e-commerce side of the web site. Merchandise will include our own brand of Christian t-shirts and apparel, books, music, and accessories. Currently ad revenue is being generated through google Ad-sense, and outside advertising and media production. Our official launch date was April 16, 2009 and we have had over 60,000 hits in the month of may and currently have approximately 300 user profiles in our database and growing every day. The Churchyard is an online faith-based social network that connects communities, churches, organizations and people in a Christian atmosphere. It functions similar to Facebook and Myspace. Here are a few other important details:
