Basically I have started an experiment.
Three months ago I setup retail store's Point of Sale for Howards Storage World.Projects:I built a software application which allowed maintenance of products, suppliers, alerts region masters of changes to products, various reports, and picks you up from the airport. It was amazing. I Procured phone line rental and voice over 48 sites saving money and taking ownership of all rentals to protect the franchisees interests.I was able to establish a private national network using SSL VPN appliances from ‘Juniper Networks’ with no cost impact. Through linking every Howards Storage World’s Telephone spend. Telstra reduced our site to site VPN ATM connections to zero cost impact. I designed, procured, and implemented this network across sixty sites nationally.I took over the responsibility for retail technology nationally. Established curriculum for franchisee Point of Sale training.I procured and configured new store systems generating revenue.For some reason .
It did not matter how hard I worked they did not want me around.
I could not find a job. I could not pay the bills. I have two children under six.
After searching the web endlessly day and night. I had an idea to sell bins but how.First I purchased a good domain name and did some branding through a company named creagency. I found a hosting company in the Mid-West called IntegrityHost. Even though I never heard of them before the name just sat well with me.Next I sat a few weeks on the phone setting up accounts with suppliers that carried Brabantia®, Spanish bins. Let's say a little knowledge allowed me to get great pricing. Now I had planned not to invest in stock rather get the supplier to ship product biased on orders until the business supported it. I reckoned that six bins could get flogged daily.And then came Google Adwords.I found a company called Advertising Web Service and signed up for the 5$ to be in Google Adwords within 48 hours. The click costs are low for Brabantia bins because it is a brand name.I capped the budget at ten dollars a day and it barely ever when over 2$ per day. The way I see it every product that sells on-line or in a shop has it's exact threshold. I can easily sell 4 to 5 bins everyday. If I tried to sell more by using a broader search my costs per sale would be to high. Today I make about a grand a week selling bins. I am so glad that I had been (pun intended) saved from my life at Howards Storage World. It is so nice to be closer to home. Who knows maybe one day I have time to study some more or pursue my dream of having my own band.
