Web-store launched for pet products

Wow. It's been a month since I first signed up with GoDaddy.com for domain names and to set-up my e-store. I've been working hours and hours on refining the site, putting products up with descriptions, pictures, associations, etc. I've signed up for a payment gateway and a merchant service account so I can take credit cards for purchases, etc. All kinds of background work, as well, on the business end. Quickbooks, payroll, corporate taxes, articles of incorporation, business bank account, toll-free phone number, etc. I didn't realize how complicated it really is, but I now can appreciate all the effort that goes into the internet. I launched the site today, and have asked all my contacts in my address book to give me their insights.

In the meantime, I'm thinking up articles I can write to keep the website updated every months. I used many of the Happy Cat Ideas I had written about before as recommendations on the website. So I still need to come up with new and exciting topics to keep both the blog and the website on the move. I added my suggestions for pet sitters on my Panel of Experts page on the website, especially after my trip to Daytona Beach in February. I think next month, I'll explore the importance of keeping certain substances/items from pets. The ASPCA had a list of items that are poisonous to pets just a week or so ago, and thought I would research that article and try to summarize it for my site, with proper credit to the ASPCA.

I put banners/badges on my website to "stop puppy mills" provided by the Humane Society of the United States, a link to The Animal Rescue Site, so that people can click everyday for free to provide food for animals in shelters. I'm trying to include ideas on the website that are near and dear to me, or for the greater good in my opinion.

Many of the products that I'm offering on the site are those that I truly believe in myself, such as the Drinkwell pet fountains from VVI, life jackets for dogs so they can go boating with their pet parents, lots of toys and treats, and other things that I've found either my cats love, or are favorites of my doggie buddies.

I'm going to put a link from the website to this blog, and will also have a link from this blog to the website. Have to build up both external and internal links.

Wish me luck. Any ideas???? Go to my website to see what I'm talking about. http://www.topcatpetproducts.com
