Adding Cars Automatically From Dealers Site
 

Does anyone know a program or software where I could add vehicles automatically from a car dealers site, that when they update their inventory (weekly) it lists the vehicles & photos on my site also. If I could get this to work I could charge them less and get more dealers. Plus save myself a whole lot of work.

Thank You,

Jason...."WordPress" has a "DashBoard" where individual site owners can go in and change, add or delete....what they want....anytime THEY want... on THEIR site.

I know one guy who makes website for Churches and....because Churches like to post their Weekly Sernons and make other changes as to what is happening....he shows them how to go into their "DashBoard" and make any changes THEMSELVES.....without bothering the webmaster and....the webmaster can charge a "Flat Monthly Fee" without having to get involved with any changes.

I'm thinking this can also be done with Car Dealers...where someone in the biz can "Take Photos" of the new arrivals on the lot and....upload the photos and descriptions....themselves.

I'll bet someone is doing this now....with Car Dealers.

Does the car dealer's website have a RSS feed? (good chance of this)
Or does it have any sort of an API? (unlikely)

If yes - this would be easy.

If not - then its still possible - but you'll have to hire a developer to create a script / macro that would scrap the listings every day or week.

If you don't know what a RSS feed is - let me know the website URL of the car dealers and I'll let you know if they have a RSS feed or not. Most content management systems that websites are built on with these days come with the RSS feature.

Talking about Churches... With roughly 350,000 Churches in the U.S. Today...
 

Even if you're Not into Religion... Get involved with a Very connected Market...

Multiple Choice fill in the Blanks! ... Develop your Own Concept... Business model(s) that Fits in Perfectly to Doing business with Churches...

Congregations... Regular Attendees... Business owners... Consumers... etc. etc...

Dozens and Dozens of “Well” thought out business ideas would Fit very Nicely into this Criteria...

Niche Advertising concepts... And related Creations & Publications of All Sorts...

Get Creative... Be Respectful, Professional and Develop that Brand of a particular Specialized Expertise that's Needed in the Marketplace...

Never-Ending congregations, 100's to 1,000's of regular Attendees on Sundays and Other misc. Times... Special Events and Conference related Seminars etc. etc... Ongoing Networking...

(Quick copy & paste)...

When Jim Elliston, a former nondenominational pastor, decided to start a technology company in 2007, he turned to a customer he knew best—the church—to win initial business.

Mr. Elliston says his firm, Clover Sites Inc., of Newbury Park, Calif., has since sold its website templates and Web-hosting services to more than 4,500 churches in the U.S. He also counts those institutions' members among his company's clientele, crediting referrals for providing a steady stream of leads.

He started out promoting his business by placing an ad in a booklet for an annual church-leader conference. From there, he says the business started growing through word of mouth. Some 95% of his business now comes from churches... ;)
