So I got my first couple clients! Interesting thing is, neither of them are in the market I originally intended. Whereas I was looking for college kids looking to get into a different career, these are older gentlemen looking to shift their career trajectory. This is good, because they have more money. I think I may need to double the rate for the program just to seem credible. Neither of them came through the adwords campaign, which was a total failure. ...
End Of March Update: March was a very slow month and I'm not sure why. The fourth deal I was going to sign didn't pan out. The third deal ended up taking longer to get done than I thought. Once the owner finally vacated I started working on getting someone into the home. I think I made three BIG mistakes with this deal that I have learned from: 1. This home is worth about $85k, I owe 72K on it. It's a good deal, but my expectations were wrong. The other two homes I had were over $125k, ...

I plan on bootstrapping the artwork myself initially and then hiring it out or creating an affiliate model once profitable (ala threadless or society6). Next steps: ...
Sales have just start picking back up very slowly though, I've been brainstorming ways to increase sales because I think I've been doing a pretty good job at marketing so a good amount of people know about the products through word of mouth etc. I've been getting orders but no available cash so they keep putting off but I'm pushing forward things will pick up this month. Have a few ideas up my sleeve. Keep pushing everyone!
