Creating an eBusiness from Scratch
Maybe I should have changed the title to “Creating a Network of eBusinesses from Scratch”, but I don’t think the plurality of the matter will change anything.
It’s been one of my dreams for a while to start my own web development company (as well as a coffee shop, real estate business, and a bed & breakfast for my wife). I like the idea of having multiple sources of income, and being able to put away some money for a rainy day. This week I will finally take the plunge and start my web development company: Paniris Web Development. One of my pet projects (Online Christmas Gift List) needs the ability to have a merchant account, as well as a couple other things, and it gave me a good reason to get my company started. Fortunately, my employer is okay with this move (they thought my idea was cool!), and I have a friend/colleage that will act as a mentor.
Anyways, I will be working on my Christmas List website for a couple months (my go-live date is mid august), and after that I have several other business concepts that I just might try out. Reading blogs like Web Junkie and Fun Money Blog makes me realize that guys like myself can make some good money with a few good ideas, and lots of dedication.
