10bucksapop.com

I recently launched a new retail website: 10bucksapop.com selling graphic design t-shirts. I hope to build this site to a full time part time job. In other words, this will hopefully make enough cash that I do not need a full time job AND that I can have enough of it automated or outsourced so that it takes up less than 10 hours of my time a week.

The main goal of this is to free myself from the cubi-cell monotony of corporate slavery and the geographical restriction that comes with a "real job". I really want to move to the beach in South Padre, and I mean ON the beach, but the economy there is one that does not offer a lot of opportunity outside of tourist type things and what not. Basically if you want to live on the island, you need to bring your own source of cash flow.

If it all works out though, I can spend my days chilling in the sun and kite surfing. :)

This is not my first online business, but it is presenting some new challenges. Advertising for example is a lot different as people will want to see pictures of the products, so I am doing image type ads on google, which is a whole new field for me. Also, I am trying some facebook integration to get some viral advertising action too.

I still have a lot of ideas that I need to expand upon and implement, so there is plenty to be done, but with me, motivation comes and goes in waves. Hopefully I can get it done and start a new and exciting chapter of my life!

Anyway, there you go. That's all I have to say about that.
