The Frustration of the Troll


Hello to you the curious of what goes on in the mind of a troll. As you can tell, or maybe you can't, but this is my first ever blog. I still not sure why they are so exciting to people, but why not do one?!

OK, why is this troll frustrated? Cause although I've busted my ass trying to sell my cards, people are just not getting it. Anyone and everyone who sees an Ugly Troll card laughs and laughs. But these laughs are not translating to sales.

The frustration starts as we close up on our first year of existence. We've taken our money and put that and our trust into some people who used the the wonderful phrase, we want to partner up with you. We want you to grow so then we can grow. HA! Start with the web site...the first people hit the mark right out of the gate, design-wise, but continual execution was a complete failure. Soooo, now we have to put more money into another web place to not only fix the problems of the old company but make a working shopping cart.

Ok that seems to be done, but it has created enough work for me to go back in and clean up the water marks that were put on for copyright sake. Ok so there is extra work...got it. The second slap came with paying our "marketing" guy a bunch of money to do what I had already planned. There was nothing new to show for the money. We did all the leg work and other stuff. I'm now discovering some cool networking and marketing things.....none from the company I paid money to, to get this type of information.

So, since our inception in January, nothing has been going in our way. So there it is my new friends, my first post of my firt blog. I hope you enjoyed this visit into the mind of the Chief Troll. Thank you for stopping by.
