Frustration

After six months developing a website and store kind of online (for free!!!), I have realized that nobody has had any interest on it except for myself. The brick and mortar owners are nothing but afraid that the online store will reveal too much of their business, their gains have been marginal and they don't believe in the growth of the store in a short term period of time. I have been battling for almost every move, promotions have been given by me personally, discounts the same, info on the monthly newsletter has been vetoed and they have even failed to collect a 120 dollar payment and have requested me, 2 months later to see about recovering it. The signs are all there, it is time for me to call it quits. The most and hardest fight has been to enable customers to pay with a credit card (!) but they're reticent because it envolves a 3% tax on all sales... ok, ok, just whining a little, some days you need to shout your aflictions to the world out there and share just a bit of all the disappointment. Blogging has been on hold for almost six months and what for? There's no such let down feelings in blog city, I have to come back!
