FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about OUR MILK MONEY...

Q:
I live in a smaller town or city that is outside of what most people would consider a "major market" -- so how can Our Milk Money work for me?

A:
It doesn't matter if you're in a major city or a smaller city or a town. We're building this system to work for EVERYONE.

It became clear to us after receiving so many applications from all corners of the United States (and even some other parts of the world!) that we couldn’t exclude anyone from this structure no matter where your business listings were located. The challenge was incorporating our members' needs with the ease and efficiency of our searchable database. It took a lot of brainstorming sessions, but during play dates, naptimes and midnight phone calls, we finally came up with a system that will work for everyone.

To accommodate everyone, we will be listing every major market in the U.S., as well as every possible geographic “sub-market” associated with these Major Markets. It is up to you, our current members, as well as prospective members to tell us what these submarkets are, and once we put into practice our online application there will be an area where you will be able to provide that information for us. We are also counting on you to saturate these locations through word of mouth. If only one business is listed in your area, there isn’t much reason for your community to use our database for their searches. We will do our best to advertise to all areas of the country and create opportunities for more self-employed parents to find us, but it’s up to you to make a difference in your communities. We will always be available to hear your ideas and suggestions.

Q:
How much is my membership fee?

A:
If you've applied before OurMilkMoney.com has publicly launched, and if your application has already been approved, as agreed YOU WILL PAY NOTHING FOR THE YEAR starting from the date of the official public launch of the site to consumers. Once the site is launched (currently scheduled for March of 2008), your free membership year will begin. Should you choose to continue with us after that first year, you will be able to lock in a $25 annual membership fee for the first major market (or sub-market) in which you live, but you do not have any obligation to do so. The costs of additional market listings are explained below.

Q:
How much will a membership fee be following the launch date? And how much do additional listings beyond my immediate area cost?

A:
Currently, our annual fee for a listing in the area where you live is only $25/year.

Each additional market listing is $12/year.

If you intend to be listed in EVERY Major Market AND sub-market we cover, contact us directly and we'll discuss appropriate pricing at an extraordinary value.

Q:
Why are you offering free memberships now, prior to the launch date?

A:
We want to make sure that the directory of goods and services offered by self-employed parents such as yourself is as full as possible before the public launch date.

Q:
So if you're offering this "free membership" period now, why are you charging an annual membership fee?

A:
It was important to us that we encompass certain aspects in our site that provide an overall sense of trust and support. We thought about making each database listing free indefinitely, and just financing the site through advertising dollars from larger companies -- but that seemed contradictory to our mission. Clearly, the companies that can afford those kinds of ads don’t need our help to advertise their products or services to your potential customers. The self-employed parents, with a low business overhead do, which is the function of the Our Milk Money search engine. Because our site needs basic funds in order to simply stay operational, we decided that a low annual fee to each member for a local listing would be the best way to go. If we are successful in attracting a good amount of traffic, potential members will see the value in joining our community.

Q:
Why is the cost of membership so small?

A:
As self-employed parents, you are operating on lower budgets and your income is helping you provide for your families. We want to take as little from that as possible.

Q:
Can I increase the visibility of my unique product and/or service in the directory by purchasing an ad for an additional cost?

A:
As of right now, we have rejected offers (and there have been many) to place larger or more prominent ads in the directory in return for larger fees.

It is important that you fully understand our intention for this online community, and how crucial it is that you do not feel competitive with one another. In actuality, our competition is the large corporations that most consumers, including yourselves, generally make their purchases from.

We want you all to have the same advantage and as much opportunity to be seen. We will never allow any of our members to have a bigger advantage over anyone else in our directory, just because their company brings in more advertising dollars. We are all here, because we all need the support. We are proud to have you as part of our team. You are all valuable. To us and to each other.

Q:
As a member of Our Milk Money, what can I do to help a successful launch of the site and bring in more potential business?

A:
First, please let other stay-at-home parents know what we are doing -- and if they would like to be listed in our database as well, please send them our way! Our intention is to have a nice full database for consumers to shop by the time we launch.

Second, you WILL be receiving a priority email within the coming days regarding entering your business information into our online database. At that time please complete that process as soon as possible.

Once we launch, spread the word to ALL of your contacts, letting them know that you are listed on OurMilkMoney.com along with many other fantastic products and services across the country and in their area.

Q:
Okay, so the obvious question is WHY should my contacts, why should anyone use Our Milk Money.com? Why should consumers pay any mind to Our Milk Money when they can use other search engines to find what they need?

A:
The basic principle is simple...

By purchasing goods and services you would normally buy, but choosing to purchase them from a parent who is running his or her own home based business, you are helping a mother or father stay home and raise their children!

It’s a simple action that you can feel good about.

We want to encourage consumers to make a conscious choice on what products they buy and the economy they’ll be supporting when they make their purchases -- whether they may be "every day" needs, recurring, or for a special occasion.

That is what Our Milk Money is all about.
