Business networking parties with business owners, entrepeneurs, and corporate team leaders. Professionals with money and companies looking for relatively inexpensive team-building exercises.2. People said they might pay. That doesn't mean they will pay. I'm not counting on that.3. I've found a website called Yola that saves time with click and drag website construction. I might try a different web host but Yola seems very convenient.4. I consider even just one hired gig within the next 2-3 weeks a success. That's enough to cover a lot of subway and bus rides and at least several meals.5. Fortunately I have a lot of leftover art/office supplies from my late father and from my stint as a Sunday School teacher and my printer has a moderate amount of ink left.6. That was for the previous venture when I was still very shaken from losing my father. I'm over the mask and puppets now. Puppets might be useful for the standard children's storytelling service though.7. Strangely, I read that surveys show that people are actually spending more on entertainment. Probably because of the gloominess caused by the economy.8. I'm expecting 2 sessions before the end of the first month, based on the fact that I'm appealing to several different markets through several different services, at least one of which has a legitimate proven demand. 9. This particular business requires that the foundation be in place for the business to be pitched.10. I'll be adding new original adventures weekly but that doesn't necessarily mean 2. At least 1 a week though.11. I don't expect a living but I believe I can make enough for food and transportation while job hunting.  It would be a living in my case if I got 2-3 gigs a week.12. I've been asking people for advice on this. The general opinion is that I could make money from this but probably not a lot. It's better than nothing though.13. Once I get started up, I'll be blogging on livejournal about my exploits. Don't expect a lot during the first month though.ALSOMy experience with GMing can be referenced through my recorded sessions on Meetup.com. I'll be asking players to post reviews and feedback on the local meetup group's message board or I might start a playtest meetup group for that purpose. Anyway, I'm building up a recorded history through the group that potential clients can check out.Hopefully my website will be ready by the end of the weekend. The first business networking party I'm going to is next week and there are going to be plenty of potential clients there.</blockquote>
