Hey all,
So a quick run down of me, ive been a member here for years, read all i can, "tried" to start all sorts of different ideas which really means never tried hard enough, before having a gap year at the ripe age of 30 and moving to London in 2014.
Late into my working holiday my fiance had an affair and everything went to chaos, got home at Xmas, and while trying to sort my life out had a proposition from my best mate.
He has a successful business in the construction industry (my background) and over the years we've spent alot of time discussing his business, including his online component, which despite my lack of experience i had an update knowledge of strategies thanks to this forum as well as bloggers ive followed.
So the proposal was for me to become partners with him in a business he'd started. Its in a niche we both have interest and knowledge in, and he has found a gap within the niche to grow a social media presence.
We have an instagram following of 6.5k and are starting our Facebook and Twitter pages, samples for some attire arrive this week and depending on interest will have an order placed within a fortnight. Clothing isnt our main goal for the brand, just a way to keep the label growing, but if theres enough interest we will invest in it.
We have done our research on competitors and believe we can get some traction from our clothing lines, but time will tell. As we enter fields we dont have experience in i hope to continue to gain information from this forum, so in return i hope i can offer some advice on things that have and havent worked for us.
At this stage i wont be revealing any information about our niche, there will come a point where we will be comfortable with it but not in its early stages. My partner knows im on this forum but isnt a member himself, maybe in time
At the moment i hope to help the wantrapenuers out there, like i was, because as they say a good plan todays better then a great plan tomorrow! Its exciting to be working on something i have an interest in and all going well we can create something of substance
I will continue to update this as new things happen so anyone reading feel free to ask quesations, and hopefully if i hit a road block i can find out some info from this great community
