Ping Pong

You know, sometimes you just enjoy something enough to try and make it into a business. Ping Pong is one of those things for me. My search for better paddles led me to 2 years of research, countless hours doing demo's and quite a bit of cash going out. I suck at web stuff so my site www.basementpingpong.com looks like a big turd for the most part although the desired content is in fact present. I guess it's now up to me to drive traffic to it. The thing is that I just don't seem to have the time to devote to the site. I'll make changes every month and then get gung ho about it but then when no traffic comes I get a bit discouraged. I'm looking for ideas. Ping Pong Paddles can be more than just a tool to hit a ball over a net. With advancements in materials the world has seen better and better paddles made. But one fact remains the same....they all look like crap. I guess that's what started my quest. www.basementpingpong.com is just the beginning I'm thinking. So far I've only sold paddles to co-workers and friends...for a considerable discount. But, that has helped a bit I guess getting the word out. I'm thinking of doing more marketing via the web and also offline but don't have the funds/time to really hit it. Brick by brick. Slow and steady. Now I guess I'm just complaining. It's hard to have something you want to do so badly only be held back by time. With the baby coming in March I'll have even less. But then I'll probably be so excited and distracted I won't even notice. Well, that's it for now.

If you have ideas for me please feel free to post/email. And, spread the word about my site when you can. www.basementpingpong.com

Thanks as always.

See you next blog :)
