Weekly Update - new sales & learning
Well, the last week was kind of weird. I got antoher sale! Yay for that! But I didn’t feel like I got a lot else done. so, starting an ebusiness is slwo going when you’re working fulltime (and have two other part-time jobs to boot). Yes, there was a lot of writing behind the scenes, and there is a lot yet to go. My sale was the incorporation handbook (how to incorporate in Canada), and to someone in the USA, which surprises me. That’s cool. No GST to worry about, then.
As for other things, I had a beautiful site ready for findarussianbride.com, and as I was trying to add my affiliate links in, I discovered that the darned thing won’t let me edit the HTML code to do it as I’d like. That sucks! So I can’t put the links in. And this is the site editor supplied by my host. The tool is called NetObject Fusion, and they supply version 8.0. Useless if you can’t enter any code to add affiliate links. So, it’s back to the drawing board with that. A complete waste of several hours of my time. And I have only some learning and a bad review of NetObjects for it.
It’s great for the developer if I have to add a tool every time I want to use the thing to add a form or a specific link or HTML code, but it really sucks for me. And there are much better site tools out there. Heck, I could run the site in WordPress, although I think that this is not the optimum format for a site that is based on reviews and articles. Maybe I’ll try WordPress with something else…
So, progress is happening, but very, very slowly. It’s starting to make me doubt that I’ll make my six month target date. It’s already been one of those months, and I’ve only had $38 of income, and have spent more than that on site registrations and tools.
We’ll see…. The Russian bride advice site should be up by the end of the week, if all goes well. And then I’ll start adding some blogs and outside links (articles) to get some action headed towards it. And I’ll have to register it with the search engines.
