I made the transition orm auction site to website very quickly when I think about it. I was clearing the kids wardrobes out last summer when a friend suggested I sell their clothes on ebay.I couldn't believe how well they went.I then started to look for my kids but I wanted new clothes.I couldn't believe how many stores were on ebay but nothing still caught my eye. My husband is a software engineer and had his own 'gaming forum'.He was bored so set me up with my first site, I was hooked after that. I was so naive at fist.I didn't have a clue about keywords etc . It wasn't until after christmas that I really got stuck into it and started to research everything.By April my hard work was paying off and sales were coming in, I now have daily sales which I still can't believe.
My dream is to make my own things and sell not just in my site, but via other sellers too.I want to walk in a shop one day and see my things!
I want my own small boutique too, has to be somewhere magical like in bamburgh or alnwick in northumberland.
The way I look at is if you don't try you never know. I have my site which is moving along nicely, I am waiting for small premises to store my goods and start producing.I have invested in a new sewing machine and overlocker, patterns are drawn ad fabric is now waiting to be cut!
Only problem I have is fitting it all in. If I can cover my wages though from my day job then I will be happy
Once I see someone wearing something I have made then I will have realised my dream
