Software Updates
DataTender has been renamed to RedFrog mailer. Users can accept Web form data and then use that data in bulk e-mailings or to produce reports. We have users with tens of thousands of records in their database. View the product at http://www.datatender.com and get your customers and friends to use the system.
EasyCoupons is going well. We are implementing versions with the sites we construct and we are finishing up the self-generator that will allow any user to attach this functionality to any Web site.
MerchantNetwork and EasyRetailer are being
used by commercial accounts now. We altered the
layout to include a new program called EasyWholesaler, designed
as the foundation of a distribution chain. Many prospects did not
see that EasyRetailer had wholesale functionality built in,
so we are splitting the product out to market to the wholesale segment.
We are continually adding new functions. See a version at http://www.dietresults.com that was significantly modified.
We are continuing to stress the supply chain functions of the network to make sure everyone knows how powerful this system
is. The MerchantNetwork is a complete Virtual Distribution
Network with Syndicated E-CommerceTM
features that facilitate the movement of merchandise and capital
assets in a variety of ways between all members of the distribution
chain. We think it is the evolution of e-commerce and we are bringing
it online now.
EasyClassifeds is now in version 1.5. Users can easily create classified sections for their web sites regardless of who hosts the main Web. Visit the merchant sign-up screen at http://www.easyclassifieds.com to check it out.
EasyMembership and EasyRegistration was used to construct
a major portion of a site for an agency that trains doctors throughout
Michigan. See http://www.semcme.org. It was also used to contruct a site for the Detroit
chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers (http://www.SAE-detroit.org). We are working on packages that can easily be added to any Web site by any user.
A new product releasing soon with one customer already booked is DeveloperShowcase. A complete turn-key package for builders and developers. See it at http://www.developershowcase.com and watch as it progresses.
Site Updates
Our Michigan
site continues to generate up to 20,000 page
views per day. That's
about 1/2 million per month. So, as a site it is considered fairly
high volume. We are going to step up our campaign to get more advertisers.
TravelNow continues to provide
viewers with domestic and international air-travel, lodging, car
rentals. If you are traveling, please use our reservation
system at http://www.usaring.com/ringtravel.htm
and help us get the commissions.
You will find a variety of shopping links placed
strategically around all our higher traffic pages for "instant
ordering". These links are already creating revenue for us.
PartsCatalog.com
This site was transitioned to an affiliate portal and gains all of its revenue from click-through commissions.
The BusinessSoftware.com
re-launch was moved up on the schedule. It will take the form of a trading/distribution area for all business software publishers and is being actively developed. We are getting a lot of interest in this venue.
BySky.com is somewhat in operation. It is marketing wireless DATA communications solutions. This market
was just projected to grow at 354% over the next few years, and
we intend to be there.
Other
ACCESS -
We provide dial-up, ISDN and broad-band services in major US and
Canadian cities from over 2800 POPs (points-of-presence). 56K analog
unmetered dial-up is $16.95/mo and 128K ISDN dual-channel is only
$50/mo. Users can roam throughout the US and Canada where we have
POPs and use the network with no roaming fees. We have special pricing for shareholders at $12.95/month.
If you have friends or family that want access, please enter their
sign-up information on the ACCESS page
and we will put them on the network. There are plenty of local Internet
providers, but not that many can provide national service from 2800
dial-in numbers at $16.95/month.
As a company, our primary business plan does not
stress dial-up as a revenue stream, however, when doing e-business
with our client base, we did not want to allow a third party access
to our customer. We can maintain full account control and have multiple
opportunities to up-sell if we provide access as well as services.
HOSTING - Web hosting services for small to mid-sized clients. We recently increased our bandwidth into the network center and we are seeing trace speeds of 40ms or less coast-to-coast now. So all of our users are seeing major improvements.
DOMAIN SERVICES - Wholesaling domain names: .com - .org - .net - .info - .biz - .pro - and many other TLDs as they become available. If you need a domain name, you can register it with us.
TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES - Officially an agent for Worldcom, Sprint, Qwest. UUnet, Verio, AT&T and Verizon. Through a national agreement we can provide frame relay, VPN, and IP services and get paid commissions on the entire circuit each month. We have already sold data circuits under this agreement and hope that this monthly recurring revenue will grow quarterly. If you need DSL or higer speeds, or voice circuits, please visit http://data.usaring.com.
In addition, we now offer discount long distance services. Info is here.
We ask that all shareholders please use our services!! If you or your company need data lines, Web design, voice telephone services, or other IT products or services, please let us try to get that business. Any business you send our way can only help push the company forward. If you do not send any business our way when you have a chance to, or if you do not use our services personally or for your business, then don't complain about your investment!
