Chronological Order wish-biz.com Event Log
Theses events preceded the introduction of wish-biz.com
- Register and set up web domains ThinkerWorks.com, igab.com, cutah.com, freebites.com, familynight.org, MadeSpecialForYou.com and ms4y.com. This was done through networksolutions.com and nameit.net. The hosting is done on my own Linux server and is fed to the interned using Qwest DSL and Qwest Office Works. I did this for two reasons. The main one is I wanted to teach myself the business, and the second one is that I planned to offer multiple sites.
- Hosting your own services is not recommended for most users. It is much less expensive to use your ISP. They probably offer you a personal web space free with your account. Other options are to obtain a web from one of the many communities offering Virtual Webs. Costs for these sites vary from FREE to Hundreds of dollars per month. A beginner should probably pick a vender that offers services between $9.00 and $25.00 per month. I will publish more information on this subject at some future date.
- Register with vstore.com and set up virtual web storefronts for Computers & Electronicsi,Books, Movies, a
Music, and
Sports and Recreaation. I plan to add some more vstore offerings in the future.
- Vstore.com offer virtual stores and their service is FREE.
- Once you register you simply add a link from your web site to the store(s) you create.
- A small percentage (usual range is two to fifteen percent) is paid to you as commissions.

March 22, 2003
- It has been awhile since I have updated this page. I have decided that the approach I have been using is not working. Dispite promices by the offerings I have listed I have yet to receive even One Dollar of income. I admit this could be the result of a very limited effort on may part in making them work. It is also due to a shift in focus. I am now developing a new Web based marketing site. This new site is currently in its Alpha Development cycle. For it to work I will probabbly need additional financial backing. When complete it will be offered as a franchise to other locations. When this moves into its beta state I will announce it here. At this moment I will say that this is a simple concept and will likely have appeal to a large percentage of internet users. Due to its nature I am concerned about exposing the project since I can not afford to fully implament it now. I beleve if this gets out to the wrong people they will take the idea and I will not have a chance to benefit from it.
