TheHerbCure.com

I'm finally focused. (I think). I'm going to start a business called The Herb Cure. My main products will be Native Remedies. They drop ship, so that makes it easy for me, although they have wholesale pricing for large orders which I may take advantage of if I get really ambitious. I have my husband's support in this so that will come in handy if we decide to expand.

For now, I am starting as basic as possible. I have a Zen Cart installed and a free template. I'm working about 5 minutes at a time on it. I sometimes wonder if employing someone else to do the design and programming wouldn't be worthwhile, but the truth is, I like this type of thing even though I pull my hair out over it. But it's good experience and someday I'll be glad I learned how to do it.

It's definitely slow, however. The regional sales rep at Megafood will be setting me up as a retailer as soon as I get the website presentable, and I'm so excited but of course the family comes first. It will be great to sell Megafood 100% whole food trace minerals to friends and family at last! We thrive on their products and I can't wait to get started.

After the website launches, we'll be buying sponsored advertising on Google for less than half the normal cost because that's what my husband does for a living now. So many things in our lives seem to be fitting together for the good lately. And I haven't even blogged about Ron Paul yet! I'll have to do that next time.
