Get Published or Posted on Joe Barter!

Congratulations to Jose Santiago, the first freelance contributor to Joe Barter’s online monthly newsletter, Networking News, with his behind-the-wheel review of the 2007 BMW X5 SAV.

You can read Santiago’s automobile review under “Joe Picks: Automobiles” in our January issue. Just log on to joebarter.com and click Joe Newsletter from the drop down menu of our Joe Media section on the home page.

Now, it’s your turn.

Have a favorite restaurant, movie, CD, or nightclub? Spread the word through our Joe Barter network. Our members want to know how they can enjoy life without wasting their time or money. They also want to know your thoughts, on more pressing subjects, if you have something worthwhile to say.

So, tell us why the food at that hole-in-the-wall eatery is worth driving to the next county to sample. Or why that club is a cool place to hang out.

Tell us why we should send more troops to Iraq. Or why you’re fed up with the Clippers’ inability to win away from home.

There are no rules or restrictions, except that you communicate clearly and in a way that’s not going to offend everyone. Tackle an inflammatory subject, if you wish, just don’t get personal.

Respect your readers. They’re Joe Barter members and part of a community.
That’s worth remembering.

All submissions should bear the author’s name, state of residence, and be
e-mailed to:

Joe Barter Tops 1,000 Listings!

Excuse the headline, but those of us at Joe Barter are pretty darn pleased that the number of listings at www.joebarter.com is growing incrementally. We’re showing 683 product listings in 35 categories plus 421 professional service listings in almost 50 categories

Joe Barter is an online business where registered members buy, sell or trade products, professional services and textbooks at no charge. Members can also access free networking resources.

If our business model sounds familiar, it should. Joe Barter combines the attributes of Craigslist and eBay. Site navigation at
www.joebarter.com is quick and easy, and interface functionality is sure to please end-users. Though we’re competing for market share in the same industry, there’s plenty of business to go around.

Think of it this way. If you want to sell or barter items you no longer have a use for, or if you’re a small business owner with excess inventory, why not cover your bases and post those items or that excess inventory on Joe Barter, too? There’s no charge.

Want to promote a professional service to attract new business? Joe Barter is an online platform on which you can do just that. Again, at no charge.
