So we are off the ground. It was not easy at all. Actually the series of unfortunate events that led us to this point or rediculous to say the least. First, our website didnt sell the products properly. Then, our registration button didn't work properly. Then, our certificate making us legal didn't upload. Im telling you, when your doing internet related work, double checking the coding on everything is beyond essential.
It really takes a lot out of you to get everything where you want it to be. You have such an idealistic view in your head, and if anything, ANYTHING, gets in the way or changes the course you want your company to take you will always second guess yourself. I think thats why a lot of small business never blow up, they just burn out. My hopes is that me and my two partners will never lose their fire.
Having partners can be difficult at times too. Its tricky because sometimes you want to work your heart out, and they don't. Sometimes they are ready to work all night and your just worn out or tired. And for three college kids, finding time when we are all free will be next to impossible. But I work with great people, and we do everything we can to keep each other motivated. I just hope that all this hard work pays off, and people recognize our site and our company, and that when this is all said and done, you, the reader, will know how much effort went into it.

Starting Out
I have never done anything like this before. Its interesting inspired some people can be to do some things. When multiple people have the same level of inspiration ,its dangerous. I believe that we have on defining moment in our lives. For some, this moment can be marriage, or maybe a death of a loved one. For others, this moment could be a talent they discover at a young age, or an event that completely alters the way your going to live the rest of your life. I believe me and my partners are in that moment right now...
It started off as an idea. Me and my friends looking at all of these penny auction websites, not understanding how companies can profit from such sites. Then we did a little research, found all the ethical and moral dilemmas within this new fad, and devoted to create a website that has the same concept, but better deals, and no tricks. Of course we knew this would not be easy, and that we would have to build a strong fan base with a limited budget, but hey, its part of the dream. In a matter of days the software was purchased on the site was designed. We were all happy and ready to get going. Only problem, how to make this website grow with a limited budget. Facebook and myspace only do so much. We need to find a way to explode, and thats where we are now. Just waiting for our moment to hit it big, show the country, and eventually world, what we can do. Its hard to have such an idealist dream, an honest website where people can win things very cheap but we will still profit, a true win win. Up until now it doesnt exist, but thats where we come in. I will be updating you every day on how the website is going, and problems we have, both external and internal. So please pay attention, because I have a feeling if all of you come along for the ride, you can witness something special.
