Flash Websites ...

I am a web-techie and jack-of-all-trades. I’m however first and foremost a marketer. I do not believe you will convert with a fancy-schmancy web page anyone. If you need a web page for a promotional purpose I would say go for it. If you want to sell as direct marketer very few people will "fall" for the looks. You will need to be online for a while. You will need a great ad copy; you will undoubtedly need a fast web site that informs and very well out together. You will need some endorsements and clout, the fact the people know your name helps. Warren Buffet could sell an investment book on a one page crappy web site, Joe Investor may not even if he has the best flash page....
