		Find Your Vendor Category Click here to visit the Vendor Directory. Here you will find a list of Vendor categories. Once you've figured out which category works best with your skill set, then move on to Step 2.

		Create Your Vendor Page Your Vendor Page will be the place Business Sense Affiliates go to learn about you, your skills, your previous work/portfolio, and to request a quote. Upon completion and approval, your Vendor Page will be added to the Vendor Directory. Start creating your Vendor Page by starting a new group... Next, customize your group according to the Sample Vendor Template... For additional assistance on how to use the EXT Toolset, go to the Vendor Toolbox or click here to visit the EXT Help Page.
