New Business or Case of Beer?

by Doug on January 18, 2008

The other day I really wanted to buy a case of beer – even though it’s -25C…

But I thought “Na, I’ll set up a new business instead.”

So I went home, spent $10 on a domain name and $10 for one month with a trusted host.

I spent less than 30 mintues working on the site (through a dail-up connection). I puttered that evening, following the same process I’m using for Project Four – but I only a quick version – just a couple of really simple posts slapped up in a few places… and the very next day my site ranked #2 for the phrase I was targeting!

Then – GET THIS – the following day, I made a sale on a $289.00 product that earned me $86.70 in commissions!!

Did I sit up in my seat?  You bet I did!

I can’t do anything more on this new site for now, I’ll just monitor it and I’ll report on any more sales.

Right now, I won’t be distracted from my current projects.  It will be another two weeks before I can put some real effort on this profitable mini-project… but I did take some of my profit and bought a case of beer. ;-P

Cheers!!
