FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IVENUE.COM LAUNCHES LUCRATIVE E-COMMERCE ENABLING PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM

Los Angeles, California, August 2000 - Ivenue.com, the leader in website development and hosting, has created a strategic e-commerce enabling partnership program. By stepping into Ivenue.com's technology businesses are able to monetize existing sales and distribution channels and generate additional revenue from existing small business customers. As an Ivenue.com partner, you may bundle your brand of web development and hosting solutions for existing, and new customers, delivering high impact and fully functional e-commerce enabled websites. This program allows Ivenue.com partners to create a recurring revenue stream without the post sales responsibilities of technical support and billing. In this turnkey program, Ivenue.com has developed and implemented efficient systems to handle the back end of the business top to bottom, from the dot to the dollar. In result, partners generate revenue with no after-sale overhead. Most importantly, Ivenue.com partners are able to benefit from immediate incentive payments; without delay for provisioning, billing and collections, due to our immediate online retail billing process.

Ivenue.com offers a comprehensive line of private labeled website construction and web hosting solutions, from the latest innovative e-commerce solutions to dedicated hosting solutions. The product delivers a complete, branded, e-commerce, and site-hosting business product portfolio.

Ivenue.com Partner Technology provides a variety of options: Private Label Programs, Co-Branded Programs, Customized Telemarketing Services, Customized Service Programs, Sales and Technical Training Programs, and Outreach to Existing Customer Base. Ivenue.com's custom branded solution provides a unique opportunity for companies and their accounts to build their brand, attract new customers, and distribute their products and services to a larger user base. Our domain registration tools enable companies and individuals to stake their claim to their cyberspace real estate, and own their companyname.com on the World Wide Web. Additionally, one of the unique elements of the feature rich, easy-to-use software is the site owner's ability to modify his online presence at anytime, from anywhere without software knowledge or training.

In just the first phase of our partnership program, Ivenue.com has forged agreements with numerous prestigious resellers. Among the Private Label Partnerships are Blackstone Webshop, powered by Blackstone, BizSiteMaker powered by Clariti, EZ SiteBuilder powered by Systnetweb, Ebizcapsulecom powered by Capsule Communications, and Matrix WebMaster, powered by Matrix Telecom. "It's a Matter of Survival for most businesses today, says Greg Rosebeck, Ivenue.com's Chief Executive Officer. "Every Company has a phone, every Company has a door, every Company has a cash register. Every Company will have a high impact, fully functional, feature rich e-commerce enabled web presence. An online presence with simple tools that allow every business to become their own webmaster controlling their online destiny to significantly improve revenue generation capabilities. Ivenue.com provides the total solution."

"Our only concern with marketing the Ivenue.com private label solution is that our sales channels want to sell this product so much more than existing products, because they receive commissions sooner and it's a much easier sale than our core business products," states Joe Koppy, President, Internet Business Association.

Last year numerous online businesses were not prepared for the onslaught of holiday sales. Internet sales this holiday season are predicted to at least double from last year. With the Ivenue.com E-Commerce Solution, businesses can capitalize and profit from the upcoming season, generating revenue online with the least amount of lead time. This is unlike traditional web development services where it takes a significant length of time to build a branded website, cover their capital expenditure, and generate profitable revenue.

Ivenue.com, located in Los Angeles, California, was founded in 1997, and is one of the fastest growing Internet enterprises. The company has built and presently hosts in excess of 500,000 e-commerce enabled websites. Ivenue.com offers a turnkey program where companies can offer their extensive customer base a sophisticated, but easy, online presence accompanied with a strong multiple server and technical support foundation. To learn more call 1-800-474-9104 or visit www.ivenue.com.

It is our sincere hope that this bear will be a success and help launch what will become a yearly tradition."
