NYC Viral Marketing Professionals,

Please join the group for our first networking event in July. Our guest speaker Ethan Chazin will be presenting about the topic - "How to start your own business." In this turbulent economy, it's my opinion that everybody should have a Plan B. You can sure get a second job or something. But the safest way to secure your future is to start your own business. How do you choose a niche? How are you supposed to run and manage a business? You may have a series of questions? This event is precisely set up to have those questions answered with our expert. Throughout the last twenty years, Ethan has been serving nearly all of the Fortune 500 as clients. (Please read Ethan's Bio at the bottom)
