Featured Site!
My name is Shelly Gannon from Colorado. I started selling online in 1995. I began with a small site for our printing business. In 2000 we left our “brick & mortar” print shop & I began working from home.
One day as I was surfing the net & looking at other online bizes, I discovered Custom Candy Bar Wrappers. I thought this would be a great match with our printing biz & I decided to jump right in. Got my www.candybarwrap.com site on the internet… started taking samples to businesses & I was on my way. Later that year I discovered a company that would drop ship Custom engraved chocolates & I started www.creativecandyland.com
In 2007, a friend turned me on to www.ecrater.com & I set up a few more stores there. That same year, my friend proposed a business partnership & we began with our 1st website: www.promote-101.com then came www.earringstop.com , www.petsadored.com & more.
All along, I have been a firm believer in “more is better”. Taking the plan of the “Big Boys”…. the more stores you have on each corner… the more you will make.
In 2009, we formalized our Business Partnership & set up BlueSkiesPlus LLC. Since then, we set up so many sites that we listed them all under BlueSkiesPlusLLC website along with our blogs, my own sites & my friend’s sites.
To date, I, personally, have 13 websites, ecrater stores & zazzle galleries. I also sell during the holidays at etsy & ebay. Our Partnership is at 15 between websites, ecrater stores, buyitsellit, zazzle & bonanzle.
I have several blogs, squidoo lenses,& twitter accounts. All of our sites & my own have been set up & marketed by ourselves & we don’t pay a dime (except for any domains, store fees & hosting). I spend approx 16 hours a day / 7 days a week working on sites, adding products & marketing our sites. I do manage to clean the house & feed my kids in between all of it.
I have 2 daughters & along with working from home, I also started home schooling in 2001. They are now 19 & 13. My youngest went back to public school for middle school. Now I have a lot more time during the days.

I don’t see any end of our “New Ideas” . I LOVE being able to work in my jammies & be home when the kids get home from school. So Online Selling is a great “job”. I do “what I want… when I want” & I’ll never get laid off.
Do YOU Squidoo?
Article By: OrganicGiftsByDiana
You should if you want to make it easier for potential customers to find you.
What is Squidoo ?
A Squidoo lens is a page – a sort of blog/journal/article/photo essay with captions… whatever you want it to be.
A Squidoo lens can help you define your brand and expand your network.
Curious yet ?
Join those of us in the Selling Lounge who are using Squidoo and loving it.
What can you Squidoo about ?
I list over 30 ideas here
I give lots of tips on how to Squidoo here
Do you already have a lens?
* If you agree to “Hug” the other lenses on the list in return,
add your lens link here
What in the world does “Hugging” a lens mean ?
Find that out here
If you think you might want to write a Squidoo lens, but don’t know how – I will be having a mini How-To one of these days, just watch the Squidoo threads for the day and time.
It will only be for 15-20 minutes.
I will try to have a mini Squidoo workshop once a month to help new ones start a lens and to help those who already have one learn something new too.
