I have been really just a lurker on this forum for the past couple of years and only recently have started getting more involved. So I figured, journalling my first business through here would be a pretty nifty idea, not only for myself but for the others to read, if it does become a success one day that is.

I am starting an online store selling Weighted Jump Ropes. Less flimsy skipping rope and more thick battle rope/cross-fit kind. I feel this kind of product can be branded well and rope jumping itself is a very effective workout for the body (full body, more burnt calories than running etc.) I really see no better time to start than now with all gyms closed and home workout equipment still on the rise. I should probably have started this at the beginning of lockdown when demand was higher but hey, I'm confident in my brand and the product, and believe it can still sell no matter the circumstances.

Currently in talks with getting a sample shipped over from suppliers and looking forward to jumping into E-commerce, building ads and general actual action-taking!

I'll update whenever I feel its worthy to do so.

Cheers!
