Even though it’s been pretty finished for a few weeks, I’ll let everyone know on here if they don’t already. I finally have a “big girl” photography website. I’m still working on filling up the galleries and have to get pricing packages up. I also have to make a blog and will do that once the weather gets cooler where most of my clients have scheduled. Oh, and to all you locals, I’m still in search of newborns, maternity, teens and families. If you or someone you know falls into any of these categories, I will waive the session fee and you’ll get a free 8×10! Okay, enough advertising. Go check it out!

Been working for a few weeks now on the sale of my baby, MagMyPic.com (no not Caleb!) - It’s been progressing well despite my lack of integral business-sale-knowledge. Mag has been a blast but it’s also lacked the proper (full-time) attention it deserves to continue growing. I look forward to seeing what the new owner will do with the site to make it all it can be. It will be another month of pretty intense work to get this thing moved and working good under new ownership…wish me luck!

So I decided to begin to gauge some interest in selling MagMyPic.com.  Mag has been my baby along with Matt for what’s going on two years.   We started the site with hopes of success, but we weren’t really prepared for the type of success we’d end up having.  We started the site and as the hits trickled in, we would get excited…the day we hit 1,000 hits a day, the day we hit 10,000 hits in a day.  Then the whole thing blew up, and before you know it we were pushing 80,000 visitors today, making 70,000 magazines a day and in a whirlwind while we tried to keep servers up and running.  But it was fun.  

Mag eventually settled down and we partnered with pYzam/TreeRoom who promoted the site with us.  It’s cruising along okay I suppose, but between full-time jobs, full-time babies and such, I’ve decided to at least look at selling it and moving on from Mag once and for all.  We’ve seen some interest so far but not quite in the price range we’re hoping for, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens.  Either way, Mag’s been a fun and unexpected journey that has been good to us and hopefully helped teach us a lot about the industry that we can apply to all of our future ventures.
