I don't know what to do, Do they want me to give them a backlink? Do they want to do business with me? Review their product? If so, should I ask them to send me one so I can review it? Should I offer them some ad space for a price? Since this is my first business proposal, i'm lost. Does that site look like something you would think is legit? Should I watch our for foreign proposals?

Please help, Thank you!

    They just want to sell something. I don't understand why they can't afford to buy a domain. If I were you I'll just ignore them. If you are looking for beads supplier go to alibaba.com for legit people.

      Even alibaba are not always legit Adie. Lots of knock off sellers there too.

      The message is just another spam seller, delete it.

    This looks like an automated messgae,one of thousands they send out that same day.

    I wouldn't really pay much attention to this, if your email address can be found somewhere online you'll receive plenty of these.

    This looks fishy to me, I'd proceed with caution.

      I agree: ignore them and delete the message.

      1. You don't even know what they want! They're so unclear about their proposal that you have no idea. This is BAD. They are wasting your time in a MAJOR way.

      2. They're quite obviously NOT serious about their business. They don't even have their own domain name and are using a free Blogspot domain. Seriously??

      3. It really depends on your business, but I'd be cautious about dealing with foreign companies/people unless they're well-known and have good recommendations.

      You have no idea what you're dealing with and if you can depend on them. If you decide to sell their stuff, how do you know if you can depend on them to deliver? You could get into a lot of hot water with your own customers if they buy through you and these people don't deliver.

      Bottom line: ignore and delete this message. They're not serious and are wasting your time with their approach.

      Hope that helps!

    The best thing you can do is put yourself out there.
