Hello World~
My name is Donna aka Beadseller.
I started browsing the internet with my service provider, Prodigy... about 10 or so years ago... no...not before the dinosaurs roamed the earth! *geez*
Back then, the internet was limited in what it had to offer. I would also like to mention that every page opened instantly. I used the internet as a venue for research. I still use it for research, but more for shopping and selling.
Hey! Don't laugh... I had an Adam Computer too! *humpf*

It's January.... I would love to say that I sell more than I buy, however, that doesn't seem to be the case. So there I was, sitting on over $20,000 worth of beads and beading supplies selling them at about $2 per pack on Overstock... not taking into considera

I started listing even more... still not adjusting my prices... that was what people wanted to pay... so either make the nickel or not.... January reaped just over $500 in sales... February jumped to $1,500... March jumped even further... $2,400... April hit an all time $3K in sales....

In reality... my sales plummeted! By the end of May... I felt doomed! I picked up two new customers.... and heard barely a dribble from the rest.... my sales for May were a whopping $382! Where did all my customers go?!?!? What was I doing wrong?!?!?

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
s merely a pipe dream. After all.... I paid for three years of webhosting back in March and it took until the middle of August to finally have a website up and running!
In February, 2005, I started out with shopping around to find the least expensive hosting site. Alas, I found Ace-host.net with 5,000 MB of Disk Space, 50 GB Monthly Bandwidth, (which has been expanded to 100 GB), Unlimited MySQL Databases, eMail Accounts, FTP Accounts, Sub-Domains, and a Static IP Address included. All for only $139.50 for three years.

Well...If you haven't looked...my site is BEADSELLER. I purchased a template for $49 and proceeded from there. What I didn't know when I purchased the template was that it was not written in language compatible with my host. So, I managed to extract what I could from it, mainly the pretty pink bars, and forged ahead with creating my store.

Needless to say, prior to this endeavor I had considered expanding on my product line, but reconsidered. Looking at the walls of drawers of beads, I should probably try to sell what I have before I drive myself out of shop/office and HOME!

So... after crying some more and relieving my scalp of a few swatches of hair, I once again forged ahead. I re-programmed all of the wrong items with what I hoped was the corrected shopping cart programming.
