So This is a blog where I will document my tries at creating online businesses.

 The first one I tried was an Ebay business, and I haven't given up on it yet. It may need some more time to adjust.

-inventory cost: 300 dollars
- total sales 20 dollars.
profit - 280 dollars so far.

Time Invested = 50 hours.

Second one I'm trying is to publish e-books on Kindle. I know Japanese and have been studying it for years. I decided as a part of studying for my next placement test I would write down my notes and publish them. I've broken even on this one so far, Which isn't bad. It may just need more time to gain readers. I also started a blog to give some sample materials.

- marketing cost: 8.00
- sales =8.00

Time invested = 100 hours.

so break even there. I'm going to be able to publish about 10 books before December in this vein. I'm already nearly done with my third.

Third one 
Is an Etsy business. I started off with sculpy and some paint, but looking around the stores at what is selling, I think it will need to be less "kitchy" and more "sleek" and "sexy" so I'm going to move my efforts from sculpy to resin, which will give a more polished look.

marketing: 15.00
supplies: 100 dollars
total profits - 115.00 so far.

Time Invested 120 hours.

In this department I think I'm going to have to redo my stock and re-do the brand to give a more polished and less homemade look.

Fourth one is a video game, I have two in the works. One is nearly done. It will be a puzzle game based on gear movement. Should be able to publish sometime next month.

Time Invested: 20 hours.

this one so far is break even. And I expect it to remain so until it turns a profit.

Fifth is Kickstarter. Not something amazing, just a simple redesign of a card deck based on pets.

prototype: 13.00
total profits - 13.00

Time Invested: 25 hours.

Nearly finished writing up the indie gogo site, after I've received the prototype I'll start marketing on this.

Sixth is a fiction book. based on greek mythology. I'm planning a goal of 1000 words a night. Final goal book should be 50,000 words so this will take 50 days give or take.

Time Invested: 2 hours.

break even on this one.

Seventh is a Coloring book. (why not.) I'm going to base it on copyright free fairy tale story images.

Time Invested: 10 hours.

break even.
