I don't think its difficult, but maybe it is?

I'm trying to sell advertising memberships on my website. Its a website for small businesses in my local region. I've tried to create a place for them to band together. This is for the smallest of business that don't have yellow page ads etc. They usually operate off of cell phones and signs on their trucks. We have hundreds of these folks around in my area. They can also trade services on there with each other (barter system).

If I could afford to advertising my site on TV or billboards I don't think I'd have such a problem starting up. But I can't afford that yet. Neither can I afford to pay a salary to a sales person yet. But I'm more that willing to share the profits with them when/if it ever happens.

Here is my site, your comments are most welcome.

Also here is my job posting on the local workforce site. Maybe you can read that and tell me whats turning sales people away. Is it the commission only?
