Invest some money into your site design. The most important area of your site is what appears "above the fold", or what a surfer sees without having to scroll down. This is where you really MUST grab their attention and you are wasting nearly all that real estate with a header image containing text. No one is going to want to put their money, time and effort behind marketing a site that doesn't appear to have any money, time and effort put into the design itself. It's not about how much money you spend, but you need to have a professional design done. To make money with something that looks like geocities is possible, but you would need to have some REAL compelling content.

If you want to do business act professional and respectable. Taking a piss on Amelia because she called you out isn't really the best move. If you want to acknolwedge it or not doesn't change the fact that she is a respected member of this community and you are not. She is a proven business professional who has run a successful program for over a decade.

And lastly, be straight about who you are. No one is going to want to work with someone who is already pretending to be someone else. No rep to burn when you're talking to an imaginary persona. Crash isn't my last name, but that's not the same as if I changed my first name and started going by Michael. Say what you will but "Cherry" is a female name. If you want to bullshit surfers, fine, but that kind of crying game bullshit has no place in this world. You would get more business done by being yourself, Max Ford or whoever you really are. You don't have to give out your first and last and home address, but at least be straight about your gender.
