Worldwide Internet Classifieds
The success story that is now
Worldwide Internet Classifieds, Inc. began with one idea
in November 1998. It was at that time that Bryan Sussman,
President, launched RestMart.com, the Internet’s
leading on-line classifieds for the restaurant industry—an
idea that procured a feature in Entrepreneur Magazine. Bryan
reflects, “I was working as a restaurant broker then and it
seemed like a very natural progression for the business of
buying and selling restaurants to go on-line. I am still
amazed at the great success that we have enjoyed!” Little
did Sussman know at the time, that he was first in line for
many other companies to copy, compete against, and follow his
visions. However, competition or not, RestMart.com has proven
to be a premier site of its kind, which attracts thousands of
buyers and sellers within the restaurant industry. “Everyone
who’s anyone in the restaurant industry knows about
RestMart.com!” boasts Sussman.
Seven years later,
Worldwide Internet Classifieds’ roster now includes four
other websites: MusicianHunter.com, CraftsBuySell.com,
HealthAndBeautyFinder.com, and
PsychicLoveConnection.com. The premise of each website is
on-line classifieds which is also the niche market that the
company has found for itself. All websites are registered with
the top search engines and rank high in relevant word
searches. Additionally, more traditional modes of
advertisement (magazines, trade publications, newspapers,
etc.) are employed to draw traffic to the websites.
MusicianHunter.com
was launched in September 2000 and is a heavily trafficked
forum for musicians to connect with one another. For musicians
who are available to join an existing band to individuals
looking for likeminded musicians to form a band, all musicians
can fill their missing link here. Visitor Chris Borson, a
guitarist from Ohio said, "Without a doubt, MusicianHunter
is the best local music site out there for musician
classifieds and band wanted ads."
CraftsBuySell.com,
which features classifieds from “ordinary people selling
extraordinary crafts,” was open for business in August 2002.
Crafts sold on the site currently include broad categories
such as furniture, quilts, jewelry, accessories, and crafts.
However, additional categories are added according to demand
and request.
The newer website additions include
HealthAndBeautyFinder.com and PsychicLoveConnection.com
both of which were started in 2004.
HealthAndBeautyFinder.com is geared towards
professionals in the health and beauty industry, i.e. personal
trainers, nutritionists, massage therapists, etc. This website
was created to help these professionals advertise their
services to individual clients as well as to health clubs,
spas, and salons. Conversely, establishments may also
advertise to look for professionals to join their winning
team.
Lastly, PsychicLoveConnection.com is a community of
psychics and advisors for those seeking advice regarding
relationships, careers, and life in general. Visitors to the
website are able to call advisors, schedule appointments, and
leave feedback on the accuracy of their personal readings.
With five websites to date, Bryan says, “This is just the
beginning of what I envision Worldwide Internet
Classifieds, Inc. to become. Our huge success thus far
makes me confident that on-line classifieds are still growing
in popularity and usage.” The company continuously updates the
current websites to keep up with technology and changing
client preferences. In fact, their RestMart.com website
underwent an $18,000 makeover in early 2005 just to stay on
the cutting edge of technology for its visitors. Sussman also
has plans to open more websites in the near future. Although
details of the new site [plans] are not being disclosed.
