My Newest Endeavor
Well, as you can tell, I got bored and spruced up the place once again. For me, redesigning a blog is a lot like rearranging my living room. New looks give me a sense of accomplishment, even if I really don’t get anything done. LOL. I realized that it had been quite awhile since the last time I’d posted anything over here, so I went and found some new paint and curtains and made the place all purty again.
I haven’t been doing much of anything exciting lately. Except for the fact that I went and got myself a new online store. That’s right, boys and girls, I am now the proud storekeep of a little place I like to call Prairied Treasures. It’s not much of a store yet, but there are a few things up for sale or auction, whichever you prefer. I opened my little store at a site called Webidz.com, and haven’t once regretted my decision.
Webidz.com is a great online auction site. Unlike Ebay, this site doesn’t charge you an arm and a leg in fees. My little store only cost me a one time fee of $5 to get started. There are no listing fees, no selling fees, and no ending fees. Now that’s my kind of place. If I decide to upgrade to a bigger store, then it will cost me a little each month/year, depending on what I decide on. The most expensive store in the place is only $33 per year and that gives your store both a featured spot and the chance to upload as many as 500,000 items.
There’s no way I could ever put up that many items, so I’m happy with what I’ve got. My store lets me post 250 items and I can keep relisting them for auction without extra cost. If I decide to have one of my items show up in the featured category, it will cost me a whooping 8 cents per auction. If I want to just highlight my item, it will cost me a penny. I think I can handle that much. I’m still in learning mode, so I’m not getting too excited just yet.
Even though all of this is totally cool, the best part is the community behind Webidz. I have never met such a neat, caring bunch of people online ever. Everyone in the forums go the extra mile to help out the new kids. Because of these awesome people, I’ve already made 2 sales. Even if I don’t make another sale for awhile, I’m thrilled about these two.
So, I guess I need to get back to work and take some more pictures. I’ve got a lot of things I want to get added to my store, and they’re not going to do it by themselves. I really am happy that I found this place and I hope to make this a real business venture. I won’t claim to be the smartest kid in class, but I’ll do whatever it takes to figure it all out.
