I’m excited to share my journey of establishing an online business, documenting each step meticulously. My initial focus is on marketing and selling uniquely designed cups, but I envision expanding to a diverse range of products.

To prepare, I’ve immersed myself in YouTube videos from experienced entrepreneurs, absorbing valuable insights under the search tag “starting an online business.” These resources have become part of my daily routine, guiding me toward success.

I’ve chosen the name “Tabor’s House” to keep my business versatile. After researching on Reddit, I purchased domain names from Porkbun at competitive prices. I also set up a free storefront on Ecwid, which I discovered through a YouTube tutorial.

Tonight, I’ll link my new domain to the Ecwid store and begin designing the website for a beta launch. This pre-launch phase will help gauge interest and viability. I’ve created designs for a collection of 10 cups, each featuring unique artwork on the bottom, aimed at first-time homebuyers seeking aesthetically pleasing products.

Finding a manufacturer that prints images on the bottoms of cups was challenging, but I’ve located a French company specializing in this. I’ll be sending my designs to them tomorrow. This journey is just beginning, and I’m thrilled to see where it leads.
