Life of an Online Business – My Pillow place

Just yesterday we hit a milestone in visitors to www.mypillowplace.com.  We went over 8000 visitors this month and we still have 2 days to go before July turns into August.  That’s great.  Seeing your daily traffic go from 1-5 people per day when we launched to between 250-350 now, it makes you feel like your hard work is paying off.  Sales are a little slow because of the economy, but its nice to know people are browsing and may bookmark us and return at a later time to make a purchase.

We go through weird phases where we’ll sell a bunch of bed pillows one week and the next week none…lately we’ve been selling latex pillows and last week it was bedlounge read in bed pillows.  Its also strange how we sell by region…like we’ll get a bunch of sales from California, and then the next week, we’ll get a few from Florida…its odd how it changes like that.  It must have something to do with the datacenters and where their located.
