We also looked at selling things on ebay. Things like Jacky's mom's bracelets, HDMI cables, or my dad's organic pasta. Ebay and Paypal took too much of a cut for it to be profitable. We would have to sell a high volume of merchandise, and that just didn't interest us. We also tinkered with the idea of coming up with a type of social networking site revolving around blogging or craigslist. However the logistics and time involved did make sense.
Besides I'm already involved in my own web site project called
www.FrackingFree.org
We decided to pursue blogging. It probably won't make us a lot of money, but at least we'll start developing a web presence, and its a good learning tool. We each started our own blog.
- www.cordzconsults.com is my personal blog on relationships. I've been in a very happy relationship with my girlfriend for over 4 years now. I decided to share some of insight with the internet.
- www.jackyrants.com is Jacky's random rants put into blog form. If you know Jacky, you know he loves to complain. Now he gets to share it with the internet, and he's pretty damn funny too!
- www.514sports.com is Ribs' contribution to the Montreal sports scene. I don't know anyone who knows more about every sport out there than Ribs. If its happening in Montreal you can be sure he'll blog about it.
