It's been almost a week since my last post so I thought I'd better post. I've been very busy with tools for my journey. My goal this week was to get more products into my store on buyitsellit.com but in the process I learned so much. I've read about niche stores before and that it's good to have one, but I guess I didn't take it seriously. Now I'm sitting up and listening. I decided to start a new store with exclusively dog dishes on buyitsellit. It's called Dog Dish Store. I'm excited about it! I have about 23 listings on there right now. I'm working on getting many more. I'm getting a fare amount of viewings as well.

I visit the community boards on buy it sell it daily and I'm so jealous of these people ... in an admiring way though. It's almost comical to see so many people talk about how well there stores are doing or even how average their stores are doing when I've had a store on the site for a year with NO sales. To the site's credit I haven't done much to promote my items on there. It's not a huge site like Ebay so you have to bring people to your store. Google, word of mouth, ways like that.

I have also joined a Sight Engine Optimization free online class. It's to start within the next day and I'm so exciting. You join Yahoo groups to get the classes. There is a $20 book to follow along with the class, but you don't have to get it. People have been found to be more successful WITH it. I haven't bought it yet, but I think I will. It's an online book so you don't have to wait for shipping. You can get the book mailed to you as far as I understand. Click here for the SEO training class. Make sure you sign up for the class AND the Yahoo groups or you won't get into the class. ALSO you have to sign up for the Website Marketing Training Class at the same time as the SEO Training Class. What do you have to lose? ... It's FREE. :-) I can't wait to get the first lesson and put some of it to great use. Someone on buyitsellit that used the program just had a $300 day the other day. Can you believe it? That was enough for me to sign up!

In case you're wondering where I'm getting the dog dishes from, they are from the dropshipper that I belong to with my website DNAETC.com. They really give you so much to work with if you want to take it to another site to sell in addition to selling on your own site. Click on DropShipDirect to the left to check it out.

Getting late. Better get to bed. We go to see Santa in the morning. Then to a friend's Christmas Party. Then Santa again on Sunday. VERY full weekend!!!
