After several months off, I’m beginning to build new web storefront sites again.\u00a0 My latest is BuyHangingMobiles.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a store that sells mobiles, works of art that hang from a ceiling and move around as their components are pushed by air currents in the room.\u00a0 Mobiles as works of art were popularized by the work of Alexander Calder in the mid-20th century.\u00a0 I’ve always been fascinated with them, and have one in my apartment, the Flensted “Flowing Rhythm” mobile pictured in the logo above.\u00a0 The new site also sells baby mobiles that hang from the side of a crib.<\/p>\n

As is the case with many of my other sites including Tube Top Boutique<\/a>, BuyHangingMobiles.com is a storefront for inventory carried by Amazon.com<\/a> $\"\"$ . The reason I create storefronts like this one is that Amazon’s organization is really bad; it’s nearly impossible to find all<\/em> the mobiles on Amazon in one place. I’ve tried to accomplish what Amazon didn’t with this new website.<\/p>\n

When you order through the site, Amazon pays me between a 4% and 8.5% commission on every sale, based on the total number of sales my sites ring up per month.\u00a0 I never see your name or credit card info; all I get is a notice that items were purchased.\u00a0 Because Amazon handles the transactions, you’re protected by their best-on-the-Internet secure checkout system and shipping and return policies.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy the new site.\u00a0 I already have an idea for the next one, so it’s time to get back to work.\u00a0 Hmmm… I must really enjoy building these storefronts… I’m excited enough about them to take a night off from beer.<\/p>\n

Back tomorrow with more stuff.\u00a0 I still haven’t posted about the Red Rooster’s promotion that starts next Wednesday.\u00a0 If you’re a fan of extremely fine beer and of having fun, this will be one you want to hear about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
