Congratulations to Joe, our iPod nano winner!

December 11th, 2007

iPod nano

Joe responded to our survey question “What is your best tip for using the web to find products for your business?” with:

“I use various search engines and directories to source products, but my favorite way to source products is to ask other webmasters for good sources. I stick to the webmaster forums rather than ebay or a retailers forum, because the webmasters will have the same kind of requirements (no hassle dropshipping, easy online ordering) that I have.”

Thank you for participating and check back for more giveaway opportunities!
