My Barn Burned Down

I actually have relatives that are out there in the stores today, Black Friday. I guess it might be worth the hassle to save a few bucks but when places like amazon.com have so many great deals, I just can’t imagine heading out in the fray. Of course I’m prejudiced in that my granddaughter and I have spent the last few weeks building our Christmas shopping sites for this internet marketing course we’re plowing through. Our main hub is at Christmas Shopping Made Easy and then it has about 7 baby sites linked to it with product specific pages. Lots of learning and work but we find it interesting and fun, and are hoping it makes a profit! Another aspect of the internet marketing course is using Squidoo, founded by marketing genius Seth Godin so we’ve begun building sites there as well. I built a Star Wars Toys “lens” (page) yesterday and have ideas for many more. As you can tell, I find the world of e-commerce fascinating. Will post all my Christmas gift paintings soon – 5 done and 2 still to go. Then the dogs!

After Christmas I plan to really promote my pet portrait business as well as build some pet related websites with a big chunk of proceeds donated to Tara’s Babies and Garuda Aviary. I know they are struggling in this economy to care for the dogs and parrots. I also have prints and cards available of my German Shepherd painting, and 100% of all of those proceeds go to the Mid-Atlantic German Shepherd Rescue.
