I started looking at some point of sale options. I am interested in buying a business, but I don’t live all that close. I am in Pittsburgh, and this is in Ohio. In order to make this work, I am looking for some remote visibility.

I got my first sale from the ads! It wasn’t a very big sale, but it was at least a profitable one. Overall, the ads are still more expensive to run than the sale has covered, but at least we are moving in the right direction.

It finally happened! After waiting for the ads, they finally got approved and are live. They are, however, not doing too great.

With the new client work starting, I have to take a drug test before my first day of work. I had it scheduled for today, early morning. It wasn’t the best drug screen I ever had to do.

I am thinking about importing from China again, and selling on eBay. I have been thinking of some products to get, and am leaning towards business equipment. Mainly, the equipment is expensive and the Chinese imports are cheaper. There also isn’t a strong brand. I don’t have to worry about the Chinese products competing against big name brands.

Today wasn’t very productive. I mainly watched TV and slept, which is typically what I do. The ads are starting to lose their excitement. I have a feeling if I don’t start doing something, though, I will hit a streak of doing nothing again.

Looks like the plan is working, which gives me an idea for another plan. This will involve another new ad type to see how it performs. The best part is, I can have all 3 ads run and compare them. The new ad type is a combination of the existing two.

The ads are a little disappointing. I thought by now I would have orders flooding in! Okay, so not really, but the ads haven’t done anything…literally. My awesome idea was to create another ad to see if it would go live first.

I looked into buying a business before, and things didn’t work out. The deal went to someone else, and it turned out to be a bit of a money loser anyway. Now, there is another opportunity to get into the same industry, but with a different business. This is looking like a pretty good deal.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the ads. However, I am now waiting for them to actually get approved. As of right now, the ads are still pending approval. I figured this was probably normal since I have a new account and everything, but I would like to have them active and running soon.
