I’m a few days behind so I’m going to keep these posts breif.

Did more research on buyer stats and started putting together a word file of all the info I am collecting.

Then the highlight of the day was meeting the founder of Zillion which is the most popular New Zealand online auction website after TradeMe with over 73,000 members and turning a profit.

After talking to Dylan when I listed the first tattoo for sale on Zillion we have stayed in touch and I was really keen to meet him to get advice and mentoring.

Dylan took me over to the North Shore for lunch which was rad.

The key things I learnt were:
- Focus on your niche and keep things simple
- Once you get the first things right - then expand into other areas
- Make sure you have a good crew dedicated to making the website and business succeed
- Get advice from people who have experience
- Be innovative in your marketing tactics
- Build a loyal community

I came back from meeting him stoked - it’s so cool how all these people who I look up to are making the time to meet with me and give me advice and help.

He is also considering moving to Wellington so that would be cool.

Right it’s Sunday night at 12:20am and I’m three days behind on the posts - will get the rest of them up tomorrow hopefully!

Whitecliffe and Unitec tomorrow !!
