Hello all,

It has been nearly five months since the beginning of my experience at InCompany and I thought it was time for a new entry to my blog. The past few months have been really busy and I am really enthusiastic about the course that InCompany is taking. We've seen a huge increase in the number of business profiles, to over 2000 now. In addition, we have seen an increase in the number of searches on the site and products on our online store. 

So what are we up to now? Currently, we are working on getting the site known by more people and more businesses. In the coming weeks, you should see an increase in the number of business profiles, which is meant to make the business directory more comprehensive. In addition, we are reaching out to individuals who are looking to sell their products online to make a more desireable InCompany Store. If you have a profile now, put all those items you don't need but would like to sell on our store! It's a great way to get some extra cash, which may come in handy during the holidays!

That said, as we look to increase the functionality of the site, I would personally like to ask each and everyone of you who currently has a profile to tell your friends, family, and small business owners about this site. Like to blog? We have that. Like to network? What better way than to introduce yourself to actual businesses and other business professionals! Want to sell your products online? You got it all here at InCompany! This truly is the all-in-one online site.

I look forward to the progress that is sure to come in the coming weeks. In the meantime, keep posting those blogs, putting up photos, selling those products and telling everyone you know about InCompany!

Best Regards,

James Lown

Hello Everyone,

               So I figured it would be appropriate for me to write my first blog about my involvement with InCompany and follow up with updates on our progress for growing the site into the next lifestyle-changing website of our generation. Let it be known that I had no involvement in the creation of the site itself. The creator, Daniel Desatnik was actually my neighbor my freshman year of college at Emory University. I remember him talking about a project he was working on with his friend, and now cofounder, Hunter White. Although I didn't really know much about it, I was intrigued and offered my services for marketing if/when they needed them. So, it comes to no surprise that when I received an email a year and half later asking if I was still interested, I was more than happy to oblige.

                As any good person of business knows, it is impossible to have a good marketing strategy without knowing the product that you are trying to promote. So I created a profile (which by the way, was very easy) and began searching around the different links. I was intrigued by the ability to create a blog, share pictures, connect to friends and browse events, products, and businesses. I also loved the classifieds section because it makes it easy to sell to and buy from people you know and people in your area.

               So now that I knew what the site was all about, it was time to think about what differentiates it from others. For one, you can separate your personal profile from your professional profile and manage the content on both. Gone are the times when bosses see the post with too much information from a friend or pictures from that wild party last weekend. Personal pages can be set to private for friends while your professional page can be open to the public for networking with individuals in your industry and potential employers. Another differentiation is more of a "it has everything" feature. You can network socially, network professionally, find businesses, find products, buy products, sell your own stuff, advertise your business, and connect your business with other businesses and individuals alike. It is facebook + linkedin + ebay + craigslist + amazon all in one.

               Today was the first day of the beginning. We created a facebook page and began telling friends and family. From when I started, InCompany had 11 Businesses and 13 individuals. I will provide updates with how the site is growing in the coming weeks.

Best Regards,
