So many firsts. My first blog, my first attempt at an online business and soon to be the first of a new year. I hope to share my adventure of starting an online business as well as birthday ideas and suggestions. I hope you will come along for the ride!!
It's already been an adventure...getting setup with business licenses, getting approved to be a reseller for various manufacturers, registering a domain and figuring out how to build the site. After all that, I still feel like I'm just beginning. I've got to figure out how to drive traffic to the site, calculate shipping, take payments (besides PayPal) and so much more!
It seemed like such a simple idea at the beginning. Take something I love to do and turn it into a business, right? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE birthdays! Not mine, of course, ;o) but my children's birthdays. I have four little boys, and it gives me such joy to plan fun birthdays for them. So many ideas! I love for our birthdays to have a theme and the theme runs through everything, from costumes or original t-shirts to crafts & activities to the food we eat. So, why not take on the task of starting a birthday business? Well, hopefully, I will look back and say, why not indeed? But I'm not there yet. The site, Treasured Birthdays,is officially launched, but still has so much work to be done. It needs fine tuning for sure. This week I am working on adding freight calculations by the Postal Service. I've already encountered snags there, but I will try to keep at it.
So, how about you? Any of you starting a business? Care to share your experiences, your frustrations, your successes! Let's take the journey together!
