It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Here’s a quick update of what’s been going on in my life.
Our third child, Evelyn Kate was born this Saturday, June 27th. We didn’t find out what we were having. It was a pretty cool experience. It’s like a surprise present. Life has gotten busier now with three. 
If you have followed my blog much in the past, you would know that my first web ventures were ecommerce related, mainly dropshipping. I kind of feel like Thomas Edison. I’ve tried a million things (and am still trying different things). Our most successful venture was raking us in 32K a year. We ended up selling it nearly a year ago because the stress it caused in our home. After the sale of our site, I really began to focus on affiliate marketing. My newest venture is kind of a hybrid affiliate site, I’m offering some basic web development services and pushing affiliate sales a long with the services. I’ve made close to $100 off of the site so far. Check out my newest site: NerdySetups.com.
Unless you have read deep into my blog, you wouldn’t know that I’m a children’s pastor by trade. I minister to children inside and outside of the church. I’m the director of an inner-city children’s ministry called Power House. Through Power House we minister to over 200 kids a week. I really enjoy what I do. There is nothing that can be any more rewarding. Check out our website to learn more about what we do. One thing that we do each year is send 2 -3 at risk kids to camp. This year logistics has worked in our favor to bring more kids to camp. This year, our goal is to bring 16 kids to camp. We started a cause on Facebook. My question to you is would you be willing to help us out? You don’t have to give anything if you don’t want. Would you consider joining our cause on Facebook? If you join our cause, I’ll give you any PLR product on eBookPig.com. If you join our cause and recruit at least one other person, I’ll give you 2 PLR products on eBookPig.com and I will give you a free copy of my ebook eCommerce Action Pack. Join the cause and let me know that you joined from Webpuffs.com.

Warehouse 36 is a wholesale supplier that originally started out providing pedal toys. Warehouse 36 seems to be branching out with more products such as water filtration, pressure booster pumps, wine perservation products, and stainless steel tank fittings.
A few years back, I owned a website called Little Man Pedal Cars. I was using Warehouse 36 as my dropshipper. By the time I started ranking for some of my keyphrases, I lost interest in the site and sold it. The person who bought it turned it into an affiliate site. Being that I didn’t have a chance to sell any of the products, I really can’t tell you how good of a dropshipper that Warehouse 36 is. If you have used them, please let us know the experience you had with them.

One of the first companies that I looked into to start selling products online was Morris Costumes. Morris Costumes is well known for their costumes, but they also sell magic supplies. (That’s what I was interested in selling.) Morris Costumes did dropship back when I was using them. I’m pretty sure that they still are. I stopped using Morris for a few reasons:
- I didn’t feel I knew enough magic tricks to help customers who may have questions.
- I couldn’t rely on them to have the products I had on my site in stock.
- I didn’t want to stock the products at my house.
I’m not interested in stocking things at my house. But if you aren’t against stocking products, Morris Costumes can be a good supplier for you. You could use them to stock your online costume store, your magic store, or maybe even your clown store. Sell their products on your own website, or give them a try on eBay. You can get creative.
Like I said previously, I was interested in selling their magic products. I did sell some of their products to friends and for myself. The awesome thing about magic is there is about a 50% mark up. There’s a descent profit margin.
It was years ago when I worked with them, but if I remeber correctly, to set up an acount, you need buy their catalog to start selling their products. You can sign up to be a dealer here. Or give them a call if you have questions about their products 704-332-3304.
