I’m not in the area, so I can’t offer hands-on training or in-person help. However, a common business practice I’ve seen is that many professionals avoid giving advice to someone starting up in the same area… helping someone a few towns or cities away is one thing, but direct competition is another. That might be part of what you’re noticing in the lack of response, though I also don’t know how many members are in your area.
That said, the majority of questions you might have, apart from specific regional things, are likely already covered on this site. Before posting, try searching for answers first. If you don’t find what you need or need more clarification, feel free to ask… but showing that you’ve done some research beforehand will usually get you better responses from the guys around here.
