For something that's existed for 8 years they have very few people
listed in their directory.
Call me paranoid, but this looks like an email harvesting website to
me.

It's not a "They" that put this website into place. It's a "me".

I am one artist doing all this work. It probably would be moving
forward faster if I had a team.

I spent my time to do the homework (surveys) to find out what was
needed and wanted. Then I spent the time researching what was okay on
the internet, what the search engines wanted and what ways to market.

I also had to learn website coding in order to put into place the
majority of the services. Finally, at the end of last year, I was
able to hire a programmer to put into place the services that I was
only about half able to do - which cut down the amount of learning
that I had to do to get the services up and running as I wanted.

I do not spam (as I mistakenly did that one time and found out what
spam was and why it was disliked).

I do not harvest emails. As you can see, if you look at the website,
most of the services are free - what would I be harvesting emails
for???

I'm a fine artist, graphic artist and writer that found that there
were flaws in the current scene, so I have been actively working on
finding solutions and implementing. In other words I care.

It really is genuine help that I offer. I have helped artists around
the world (you can read testimonials he
http://help-2-succeed.com/main/index.php?q=node/9
).

In 2007 more new services are going to be implemented: podcasting, H2S
radio and I will be the host of a televised show that features an
artist a week. I'm opening doors for artists.
