** E-commerce Opportunity **

Grandma Purple is looking for a student that wants to learn E-commerce by doing. Here is what she says...

I need someone to help take pictures from certain catalogues, resize them for thumbnails and larger pictures for the site. I also would like the person to be able to help with pull down menus, figure out how to put things on sale, etc.

There are several ways I can structure payment of services; flat hourly rate, perhaps a percentage of sales over a certain amount, or bartering products from the site.

I have a prepaid package website from MivaMerchant, so if someone wants to learn Miva, here is a chance. I will also give credit and a link to the student's website for portfolios. I am flexible and easy to deal with.
