I am Untalented

So, I started an online store... like everyone does at some stage I guess. To be honest, this is my second attempt.  The first attempt I tried just following a YouTube video, putting in as little effort as possible and basically tricking customers to pay for something - advertising a "free" product and then over charging for shipping to make a profit. I felt like a bit of a scumbag and ended up refunding all the customers (like 5) for the cheap Chinese product that took weeks to get to them.  This venture is slightly different in that I am designing my own tshirts (tees? t-shirts? Tee Shirtz?) via a print on demand service & using shopify to sell them.  They aren't great but I am trying and that is why I came up with the store name of UNTALENTED - at least people know what they are getting.  I have had a total of 0 (zero aka nil) customers thus far.  I am pretty sure the google bots don't even stay for long.  Once again I said to myself - don't spend anything

I've Been Thinking...Or Drinking

Well I've been doing a little of both.  Do people just start blogs to try and make money now or do some people generally want their voices heard... or both as I did slide the option for ads on (It would hurt right?).  I am going to use this blog as they were originally intended - as complete randomness.  There will no specific topic or theme.  It will be a mess of thoughts, reviews and investigations.  To all of those people that aren't reading (which is everyone according to the statistics page) , watch out.  Once again, no actual content here but it is starting.  I had a tagline, but now I have forgotten it Matt

The First One

Well I guess I finally gave in and created a blog - excuse anything I write in this first momentous post as I am totally freewriting off the top of my head.   I guess I am starting this because I need a creative outlet and to actually have a voice rather then hiding away worried what others might think... well that's what a YouTube video I watched said but I did like the idea & that is why I have used my real name over a hidden screen name.  Oh and I pulled the name off a random word generator + a good 30 seconds (give or take) of brain power.  Now. What will you see in the future... hmmm... what will bring some poor soul who stumbles across this initial dribble back?  Well... I don't have an answer quite yet but I do have things I am interested in which I thin is a rather good start.  I probably need to create a plan so it doesn't end up like this every week.  I will have a think and comeback with something great but this is a good start I think, you know, pulling my f
