Great Future For My Business

I am happy with the number of phonecalls I am receiving lately. One person form Scarborough was almost near my house to see my products. I thought he is just inquiring and I never told him that my business is just an online business. He called to tell me that he is almost near our place area and asking for the direction to get to my place.

These kind of situation want me to jump to make my plans to come into reality. I really need to get my business license and start making a small area on my house to be my showroom.

I really have a strong feeling that my business will start to grow by next year. There is a great potential future ahead of me on this business and I will never stop until I reach my dreams.

Business Plans By Next Year

I am so glad that I finally save money for the ingredients, jars and tubes that I need for my ebusiness/products. So I placed the orders to my two suppliers in USA. I am running out of jars for my Mineral Makeups, and I need more lipgloss tubes for the new colors I am planning to create. I also ordered few micas for new color pigment on all my Mineral Makeup products.

Now my next financial plan is to save money for the licensing of my ebusiness. I didn't bothered to get the business license this year because all the money is going out for investment. I never have any profit for this year, since most of my money is going out for investment. I actually have more lost than gain in this ebusiness for now - so I don't owe the government for anything with regards to my ebusiness. I never thought that I will receive some orders this year and I have a feeling that the number of orders will improve by next year. I do a simple bookeeping myself and I have all the receipt for all the orders and all my expenses.

But I still think it's about time to make everything legal. So I will start preparing the paper works by next month or perhaps hire someone to do it for me. One more reason why I want to have a business license is that, I am planning to start marketing my products OFF the internet, sometime next year. I will be sending flyers within Toronto.

Also by next year, I am planning to make a small area inside my house for showing of my products. I have been receiving inquiries on where to find my store. Some customers want to see my products in person to see the difference in color and texture. I am planning to accept visitors or customers to look at my products during the weekend, by appointment.

And maybe later on, I will get a certain degree or diploma in Aesthetics or Cosmetology so I can conduct a workshop in Mineral Makeup and Natural Cosmetics Making. Having a degree or diploma in Beauty Field, will give me more confidence to share my knowledge and experience in this business. It will also give people a good impression and trust to whatever knowledge and experience I will impart to them.

And maybe sometime in the future, if God's will- I want to have my own Salon!!! I realy hope that within 5 years, all this dreams will come into reality

Potential Market For Vacation Rental Destinations

One product or services that has a good potential market through PPC is about Travel. If I am going to create another blog, it would be about traveling. I thought of making one of my blog's content about travelling but it wasn't properly optimized for the keyword "Travel". The word Travel can't be seen anywhere from the URL, Title and decription so it didn't turned out well on PPC campaign.

Travelling is one of my passion and I love reading different topics about different places. Travelling can be expensive but it would be good to share what I read and experience in travelling in a blog and make money from it.

You can share topics like how to find a good and affordable vacation home rental. People might be looking for informations or review about different places where they can find a good place to stay. Places like Middle East or Philippines are not as famous as other places for traveling. There are limited informations on the internet in finding a good Philippines vacation rental or Middle East vacation rental. So travel vacation blog can be a good source for informations like this.

Full-time Business At Home

It's hard to start a business while working full-time with another company. But everytime I have an extra day to focus on my business, I always lost my focus during the days when I am suppose to focus my mind in doing things for my ebusiness. I am thinking that maybe, it will be harder to focus if I am working full-time at home.

Why? because the hardest part in handling a business is to have a strict discipline to do and schedule everything by yourself. Unlike when you are working as a regular employee, your everyday schedule are always the same. You have to wake up, prepare yourself to go to work all at the same time everyday- from Monday to Friday.

Easy as it may sound but working full-time at home may not be easy as it may seems. You have to program all your schedule and make your everyday life as productive as you can to make a living.

I really think there is no easy way to leave your life in this world. The only thing that will make one life a better way to live, is to do what you always love to do. Find your passion and make a way to make a living out of it. Harder to some to start with, but might be easier when you are already living the way you want your life to live it.

Customer Requests For Free Sample

I am so happy that this client was so eager to see the different colors of my Mineral Makeup. I am also very happy to hear how happy she was with the quality of my Mineral Makeup. I didn't get anything for bringing her some free samples personally. I am just crossing my fingers that this can be a good start for my business to grow. I really think that spending time to show the customer that you are serious with your business is really important.

This client have ordered few samples and have called my several times. She just need to see the colors personally so she will know which colors to offer to her customers. Ahhhh, I really wish I have a store where I can show my products to everyone who wants to see it. I think I need to fix my basement or one part of my house where I can put some samples of my products for those who are interested to see them personally. I will probably work on this on my Christmas vacation.

Building Trust For Ebusiness Buyers

One thing I learn from this ebusiness is the patience and continous effort of answering every single inquiry about your products or services. Even if sometimes I can feel that some inquiries are spam, but I try my best to answer them as professional as I can. You'll never know that those spam sound inquiries can be a big time deal. Always stay positive.

I get most of the big orders from customers whom I have about 4 to 5 series of exchange emails. Some want more information of the products before they buy. Or perhaps they want to establish what kind of reputation that they would like to give to you.

Always put yourself to the position of the person who wants to buy. You have to remember that buying online, means you have to pay first before you can get the items that you paid for. So it is important to give your customer the impression that you are someone that they can trust over and over.
