Well as you can see the membership is growing steadily and now has reached our 50th member, which is half way through the soft launch. When we get to 100 members, then NENO will contact larger organisations and the local press, to really get the free online networking platform moving.
We still have over 100 visitors a day visiting the site, but because there is still a lack of interaction between business with only a small amount of posts still, most are looking at the dates of last post and then moving out of the site. We have yet to give them a reason to stay.

This is the first month where new members have found the site through other means than an email from me anther milestone, I believe the more that join, the more posts there are, the more it will snowball.

Of course there is a remedy and that is for everyone who has not told us what they sell or what they do yet, to introduce themselves and post some information of their services. This is of course free and will only take a few minutes.

Those who have done this can post again with updated offers.

Anyone can post business advice or ask for it, especially if you have a speciality and know of a law change or something. Remember; every time you post, your details get in front of at least 50 businesses and more if you count the ones who have not registered yet.

I have been trying to keep the site clean, and have taken off many USA and foreign posts or members just spamming the site. If the can find the site in Malaysia, they can find it in Newcastle.

If you reading this and do not have a base or business in the North East, do not post, as you will just be removed.

Thanks for your support, it may take some time, but it is moving in the right direction.
