We provide free tips, ideas, and case studies for starting and running a successful small business.
My Personal History
I started working online in 2002 when I got laid off from my first job. I spend two years selling fragrance oils (and a few other things) on Ebay and became a Gold level power seller. It was exciting at first, making a living online, but after awhile I wanted to do something different.
In 2004, I started my own website selling baby shower party supplies by setting up my own Yahoo store. I also set up some content sites through the years and made income with Google Adsense.
Around 2008 or so, I got heavily involved in business automation, hiring, and outsourcing.
I tried setting up some other sites and projects along the way, but have put a majority of them on hold. My most recent business is Web Developers Etc (www.webdevelopersetc.com), which was created to help other people set up and market their websites.
Why I Started This Blog
I started this blog as a means of reaching out and connecting with other business people and aspiring entrepreneurs. I’ve learned a lot over the years and have far more ideas than I have time to pursue.
I didn’t have a background in computer programming or business, but learned as I went along. I’ve spent a lot of time learning about business on my own and have had the fortune of speaking with and learning from people that ran 8-figure businesses online.
A lot of what you need to know to be successful in business isn’t taught in school. Hopefully I can share some useful tips and ideas as well as inspire more people to pursue their goals and dreams.
