You just found the site and immediately want to get all the benefits that it has to offer? Sounds like you should become a charter member. $25 isn't that much considering what you are apparently hoping to gain from it (selling your stuff and gaining exposure to your photography business). Especially considering you are already advertising you business website in your signature line for free!!!!!!!

Seriously though, join up and then you get to take advantage of all those extra perks that come with being a charter member if that is what you want. If not, then you can still learn a great deal here and if you have time, go to one/some of the monthly meetings. You'll learn a lot and also meet some great people.
