So… Shopify sucks.

Had trouble getting their stuff to load on my phone or iPad. Then it kept glitching out further. Then found out their lackluster themes cost money.

Switched to WIX. I don’t think it’s going to be my long term solution but it’s the fastest way to get it up and running good enough to start.

I’ll take speed and income over perfection.

What I will be selling is part product and part service.

The product part is now designed fully and I’m deciding between two places to produce it. Pretty sure I know which one I’ll be picking. Again, long term I have a different idea and want to produce it “in house” but for now this will do.

Product: Designed
Manufacturer: Pretty much decided on.
URL: Purchased
Website Host: Wix. Site will be live by Saturday.

I have to register the LLC, get a dedicated business number, and test the payment processor to make sure it works.

Also need to get my email service up and running. Switching from GoDaddy to Google because godaddy sucks in every way possible.

Also had AI write up some “terms of service” that I need to have a lawyer check over.

Would print up some door tags but that cost money. Instead I’m going to simply leave post it notes that says “sorry I missed you. (My name), xxx-xxx-xxxx”

I’m hoping pure curiosity will get homeowners to call me back.

Also have a buddy who’s going to shadow me and see if he wants to do this. He might end up being my first sales rep!
