What is FrankelBiz? (Click here to subscribe)

FrankelBiz is the web's only FREE Branded Community devoted exclusively to doing business on the web, instead of talking about it. List members exchange reciprocal discounts, needs and wants; they offer business leads and do business with each other. Sponsors offer products and services at discounts to members. The list is free, moderated by Rob Frankel, popular web commerce columnist, business opinion columnist for Ziff Davis' Internet Business magazine, author of The Revenge of Brand X: How to Build a Big Time Brand on the Web or Anywhere Else -- and irreverent dictator of Rob Frankel's Big Time Branding (SM). FrankelBiz also includes Rob's regular rants on a semi-regular basis. Subscribe for free:

I received almost 20 replies to my inquiry, each one being better than another! I've never seen such concentration of high quality responses, short, simple and to the point. I simply felt that I must share this with you for two reasons. First, Rob's list really is a gem that many of you could find useful, and second, I couldn't think of a better way of saying thanks to Rob for his invitation and good job he is doing with his community! And a great community it is. -- Neven Prasnikar

FrankelBees are also the only people allowed to take advantage of FrankelCall, Rob's ONLY one-on-one specially priced consulting. I also offer a low-cost, flat fee mediation service that resolves disputes and gets you and your business partners back to work, instead or making your lawyers rich.

While Frankelbiz is free, the more serious players also subscribe to FrankelTips, a low-cost weekly delivery that allows Rob to answer questions, offer tactical revenue-generating advice and of course, plug your business to others.

All our programs adhere to the strict FrankelBiz code of high ethics: no MLM's, no get rich quick schemes, no quackery of any kind. Just good business with great people. To read the FAQ's -- and you should, because they're pretty strict -- check the bottom of this page. However, be warned that harvesting e-mails from FrankelBiz is a Capital Offense and will get you nothing but incredibly bad publicity as several thousands of people will be publicly warned never to do business with you. This is called Public Execution or "getting fried off the list." It doesn't happen often, but when it does, rest assured, it reeeeally hurts where you feel it most.
