Our Blog Store
Recently, I have joined a partnership of some sort, with another another blogger. To start our own small business. My Online Store (MyOn9Store). Due to the limitation of Blogger, we can only choose to blog, or make a virtual store. Don't get me wrong, if you are good with HTML and JavaScript, you can still combine a blog and online store at the same site. But you would still stuck with the whole layout thing. Where every single blog post you published would have this annoying 'Add to Cart' button. So we decided to do separate blog, but link-up together so we both fully utilized each of our specialty. Hey, I've spend a lot time in this blog.
You probably wondered why didn't we get ourselves a dedicated hosting server. To tell you the truth, it cost money and time. A LOT of time. Money is not the problem, you can easily subscribe a hosting as low as $1.89 per month. Its the 'time' part that was problematic. None of us could spend our time being the nerd maintaining the server. Even when setting up My Online Store, it took us weeks to integrate the responsive shopping cart and resolves the currency issue. And it took even more time to make everything to appear as neat and tidy as possible.
Well, that's the good thing about Blogger. Once you set it all up, its set up for good. Not to mentioned its free. And also, moving into a new server means all my previous blog post would be gone, those back-linking and stuff. So after a lengthy discussion, we decided to maintain the status quo. Both of us would have access to both blogs, and we would work together to make this little project of ours to success.
It isn't much, but we are working on it. Dammit, I haven't slept for a couple of days. What do I gain and what does he gain? For this blog, he would be able to post some articles and trivial facts about health and stuff. While for me, his store can showcase the items that I wanted to sell. So its a win-win situation.
Anyway, do visit us, will you. Give us some chance. I promise you won't regret it. Thanks in advance. Live healthy, live your life.....
What? Its our new motto.
