I finally started to appear in my videos. I wanted to get my feet wet so I went ahead and did a short welcome video. I will maybe some day get enough subs so I can become a youtube partner. But right now I need to redirect people to other places that have my google adsense ads on in order to benefit from the videos. Such as this blog.
Thanks for reading

Gourmet Coffee and Tea
Hello:
For the past couple years I have also selling gourmet coffee beans and gourmet loose leaf tea. I did find a good supplier with a quality product and good prices. I started selling on Ebay and also thought about selling it on my own website. I sold some online. I also started to sell to family and my co workers. It started off slow but I did not expect to go big right away. But the problem is that it stayed a small deal. Postage rates went up and I lost some buyers and the shipping cost almost equaled the cost of the coffee beans so it become expensive for people to buy it online.
I sold some by the five pound bag to try to save postage but that is always high. Even selling a 1 pound bag now cost about $8 to ship and the cost of the coffee (retail) is about $10 $12 which means customers would have to pay about $20 for one pound of coffee beans. I could no longer justify selling it since that is alot just for a pound of coffee especially since you can get it so much cheaper in the store. Selling to co workers is not enough to keep selling it since I wanted to build this into a business.
I could sell it locally thru the newspaper and such. But I work from home and do not have a storefront so ; I did that I would have to deliver it to the customer. And I could only do so many deliveries a day. Plus I am not very good at finding the addresses plus I hate doing deliveries of this type anyway. Plus I live in the midwest so doing deliveries during the winter is also a big pain. I am selling off what I have left and move on to simple else.
