I met with another person who imparted some great advice last night. He told me it was time for us to start getting free labour.
"The trick with getting people to do things for you for free," he said, "is to ask them to do something they want to do. Students at some of the Universities here in Tokyo have to do an internship. Go find the ones who want to do the things you need done. Writing press releases. Doing translations. Making product photos...."
Yes, yes I see. Now that we actually have a website, maybe that will work!
