Hi Everyone,

I am from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia.

I just found the small business forum website and very glad I did.

For the last 8 years I have been selling books online here in Australia. Recently I set-up my content / copywriting service as an additional business (after many months of consideration).

I have been writing content and web copy for my first online store for many years (and others); so finally decided it was a good idea to make it into an official business.

Learning so much about online marketing over the years (dos and don't), I now look back and wish I had all this information when I first started. Would have saved a lot of time, money and heartache. But that is life and something most business owners go through!

Thanks for reading.

James

Welcome to the forum James. What kind of books do you sell? Are these books you've written or do you help others sell their books? Makes sense to turn your copywriting skills into a business, since it sounds like you were doing the work anyway. I hear you about wishing I knew then what I know now, but I think I can say that about most things.

I look forward to getting to know you and thanks for joining the community.

Thanks Vangogh and David,

I sell books on most subjects these days (new or out of print). Just a general online bookstore.
When I first started selling online it was Military history only. As time passed I realized I was losing many potential customers by narrowing the market so much, so I expanded. Glad I did, as there are so many good books out there.
