Recently I have been thinking about a new online busines idea, it is selling a physical product, something I have wanted to do for a long time. I will rely heavilly on SEO and other forms of online marketing to make this a success, so I thoight why not journal my progress and the different techniques used the are working/not working and create sort of a blueprint for the future.

I want to make this an experiment which means I will be trying lots of “theories” on SEO and see which ones really make a big differece. I will try good white  hat methods, perhaps some grey and black hat techniques (in the name of research of course!)

Project Specifics:

It is one physical product I will be selling, different types, models etc but still just one product.

I have no experience selling this particular product before, have just had a nagging idea for a long time.

Literally everything needs doing, from the website, marketing, management, etc (thankfully I am an experienced web developer and online marketer so I can do a lot myself)

I have set aside a budget of £7,000 to get the idea off the ground, needless to say, when I make money from it I will be investing that back in.

My big aim is to be geared up for the Christmas shopping period in 2012 and take it by storm.

My realistic goal in terms of income (probably quite a way into the future) would be £80,000 a year in profit (I calculated what is doable), although there is a lot of hard work in front of me to reach that.

I will start right away to prepare things and by the next post I should have the groudwork down.

Please feel free to comment, I would love the feedback!
