Website

So we are finally about to get our site built. We bought the name www.shirtshapers.com as it is a bit catchy and also makes sense for a dress shirt tailoring business.

We may be able to build the site for cheaper than usual as I have a friend who builds sites for cheap. The only problem as he uses something called Cpanel to build the site, and the hosting service we purchased (Network Solutions) does not allow Cpanel. My friend has his own hosting service so we will figure something out, and if worst comes to worst we may just use his hosting...

Everyone should check out Brad's site www.ideas2earn.com as he is going to post an awesome tool to find wholesalers and dropshippers! He also has tons of other useful information and his blog is always a good place to learn new things.

I will let you all know when the site is done.

Talk soon,

Mike

Hi Everyone!

So we are finally making some progress! We decided to rather than selling generic sizes (S, M, L) that we would sell tailored shirts so they fit our customers perfectly. There are just too many generic shirts out there and the market is very competitive. I figured since you can buy a namebrand shirt for the same price we were trying to sell non name brand on the internet, most consumers would go for the name brand as they would think of it to be higher quality...

I just found someone who can build us a site for $75-$150 depending on how much work it takes them, so once that is all set up we will start making brouchures and we'll try to get some traffic to the shirts. There is a ton of profit to be made in tailored shirts, just need to get the customers...

I will update you once the site is done and all of you can take a look!

Hey Guys

So as of right now I am starting to think that there may be too much competition in the field that I was trying to go into. The samples we actually got were great, but they were at too high of a price to make a profit on...

I have talked to several other suppliers and they expect us to order such a high quantity to get a low price that it just isn't going to happen...

Brad just got offered to transfer to Shanghai and accepted so he and I probably won't talk as much for the next few days as he has lots of work to do before he moves...so right now I am at a bid of a stand still until he gets moved and we can start discussing our options together.

I told him in an email last night that I believe the two of us together can build a great money making business, yet it will just take some time. Me and Brad trust each other greatly which is a main component of building a successful business....

I will continue to write when new things begin to arise. So long for now.
