Description: Hi there, I am trying to grow this new business venture, a car news and reviews property called "Car Revs Daily." Have spent last 10 months earning dollars per day while writing for a hack-shack called "(URL removed)" and another failed web blog venture called "DriversNewsNetwork" -- the latter since a 404 URL. Very frustrated with startup mis-management. of the company *potential* as well as day-to-day decisions. After watching my previous ad sales career spiral into "vapor-ware" hell with a shell company called Yellow Thunder Media, from the great city of Los Angeles --- i knew media and cocktail-based digital sales had a firm expiration date in my career path. I am 31, living in the chicago burbs doing wa i love: creating compelling "stories" that include brands. with the latest world-view included, I have since fallen head-over-hells for a Press Loaner Buick LaCrosse that shared the driveway during one blissful week with a different presser 2014 EVO GSR. This new company is happening fast. Most urgently, my new web site keeps getting h acked really badly. its wordpress architecture also limits google ad size and layout potential. Running a kickstarter program until early December, but so far -- the idea has not gotten much traction. MISSION: Auto News -- the Pandora of auto news, reviews, and culture CURRENT STAGE: Just earned first dollars via AdSense on new website CURRENT HURDLE --> Security and anti-intrusion / network safeguards Funding goal: not set Incorp? not yet Size: just me, so far! but lots of traffic on the Writers Wanted page of site. Page views in 14 days online (URL removed) - 29,000 Uniques in 14 days online - 998 Big potential here. Let's grab a hot cider and chat! Also seeking business dev, mentor-ship, and guidance. Thanks Tom
