Thought I'd post a little update here that says something about the value of putting in the upfront effort and building something that leads to a semi passive income.

Background...

Nov 2012, a colleague and I started importing necklaces from South Africa
I built a website
Then my colleague moved away and the project sort of died
I've made a few sales through people emailing me but never through the online platform that I built.

Fast forward to July 2014, I received an automated email from my site telling me someone had placed an order. Then from paypal telling me i'd been paid. Then from my automated stock management system telling me stock for that product is now low.

It took about 10mins to print out the invoice and put the necklace in the post and i'm now £16.99 better off from a project that i'd almost forgotten about!
