How&#039;s it going? I checked out your site just now but it seems down. Did you moved on to other ventures?

I didn&#039;t get many sales so I decided to change my niche, and my site name and branding. I&#039;ve been doing lots of reading, and listening to podcasts to learn more about marketing. <br /> <br /> I&#039;m still working on getting my site up. It&#039;ll probably go live in the next few months. I&#039;m also still going with the print on demand route. I&#039;ll make a new post when it&#039;s finally ready! Appreciate your kind words!</div>
