I do plan to provide better services than competitors by being more focused in my area, but how do I attract people to an online service that cannot conduct its business solely by being online?
I've just re-read that last sentence and it sounds like i'm trying to rewrite the market and i'm not, but I kind of am. I cannot attract customers solely online, as the majority of customers I would expect to gain through word of mouth and recommendations. I will have to advertise in relevant newspapers and other media but what would entice you to try a different approach to something that has been done the same way for hundreds of years? i.e. ebay?

Sean, drop me a mail if you want some help with this side of it. It's something I have a little experience of helping companies with.

Hi JSG YHM.
And to the rest of you, thanks for the support it does give me some drive to get on with it but its true, having a job already does make you lazy. As Chandler from Friends said (to Rachel) "You need to get the fear!"
