What am I doing selling Talking Teddy bears, and Personalized gifts to the American Market?
After under going a total laryngectomy operation in July 1995, as a permanent
cure for cancer of the larynx, I had to learn to speak, and till to-day continue to speak with the
help of a voice prosthesis.
In 2003, things so happened, that I faced the imminent threat of not being
able to use a voice prosthesis any more. When this happens I would
become a ‘mute’ totally speechless, creating the need for me to find
alternative employment wherein I could work without having to talk.
In May 2004 an American company, StoresOnline Inc, of Orem Utah, held a
workshop promoting “Internet Marketing”, and their web hosting
services.
This was what I was looking
for. As an Internet Merchant, emails and published WebPages would do all
my talking for me. I purchased a package of 6 websites.
To the question “what do I sell on these websites”, I was told to try
and sell things that I had a passion for, understood, and used a lot.
My passions are Animals, especially Cats, Children,
Photography and Gift giving, not necessarily in that order.
When I started this venture in May 2004, I discovered that Australians were not yet ready to trust the Internet as a
Market Place. Building websites to sell consumer products to the
Australian market would have been pointless.
The best International Market I could find was the 48 continental states
of the USA.
The first site that went live in August 2004 was
www.catbedandtoy.com,
the second was
www.connectwithtoys.com and gradually the other four followed.
All the products I sell are purchased from manufacturers and
distributors in the USA. They send what I buy directly to my customers,
cutting out the middle men, thereby making it feasible for me to
sell at discount prices.
This is a business venture, and soon to be the only means of livelihood for me and my
dependants.
The above being the case, I am Honest and Professional, qualities
without which, I cannot succeed in this highly competitive business.
