Growing Online Bookstore Storefronts These Past 5 Years

Something good must have been happening because I have come to realize I've been growing several online bookstore storefronts these past 5 years or so. It mainly started from having to schlep all my books every time I move to new dwellings. The collection of books has been brought about by my main occupation as a writer, a job that so many other New York City (NYC) dwellers share with me. I have to make a living out of my writings, so I would figure out ways to make money from all these activities I do that are related to my main job as a writer. 

I know that a bookstore will have better chances of growing and making money if it has items that are ready for the selection and buying of the shopper who happened to looking for particular printed materials at such unpredictable times. I don't worry much about the impression that most like to believe that a bookstore is not really making money. If that's completely true, how come Amazon.com ('the world's most successful retailer) has built on its roots as a bookstore? A lot of the information about the business has remained unknown and unclear to most who are figuring out how to make good money from churning out books (and their derivatives).

And in my journey as an online entrepreneur, I'm grateful to have continued moving on with this online bookstore storefronts. I have mostly used books and other printed materials in my online storefronts for sale in the online world. But I have figured out a way to offer new items as well as I have continued to expand. This I have done by acquiring and building an online franchise with Market America (shop.com). The bookstore storefronts have become an online shopping mall. And this business continues to grow. I'm curious if you're interested to know more about this development. 

Or I'll probably talk about it in future postings here when I gather more materials to share here. Thank you :-D

Update: HNY has already closed shop with the lead yogi Aaron Starr focusing his energies on Blue Osa , a yoga retreat and spa in Costa Rica. I've since then written 3 articles from what I learned by engaging in yoga: Men and Yoga The health benefits of yoga for men A guide on how and where to get yoga instructor certification in New York Read about what got into my mind in one of those times when I showed up at the former HNY's studio in Chelsea below: Last night's nude yoga session ( see Hot Nude Yoga ) led to a brief chat that gave me the opportunity to quench my curiosity over the penis rings that hang on the genital region of one of the participants. The metal rings would glisten in the space where Luke, the name of the said participant, has him making his stretches on his yoga mat. As all of us participants would work on the stretches and (challenging, whew!) poses being coached to us ably by our teacher, Hollis, in one session, I took note of Luke's p

Where Do I Start Moving On From The Tragic Demise of A Very Good Friend?

Last Friday evening (Philippine time), a very good friend of mine (as well as the friend of many, many others) was murdered in his apartment. I got the message from another friend on Facebook. I was since then grappling with the shock, grief and anger over the whole tragedy. Gratefully, I've managed to compose a brief poem on my grief . But the sadness still continues. This friend also happened to be posting comments to several of my blogs here, the last of which came out here . click on the title for more...
