So this is what has transpired since the first blog on Monday or Tuesday, can't remember the days blurred this week. I worked on my website which looks OK. I'm not done nor satisfied with where it's at. Google gave me some good pointers when I spoke to them about advertising. Advertisements will be coming out in the next week to promote the guiding aspect of Simply Fishing. They gave me a $100 credit. Which will probably last a month. It's almost $2.50 a click after that! We will see what happens with the response. I'm in the process of working with KSL, Living Social, City Deals, Spreebird, Salt Lake Tribune, etc. We hope to have 20 bookings through this ad campaign.
The online shop is now up! We don't have any flies on there yet. I have two or three local fly tiers that will put their flies on there. We are going to only carry locally hand tied flies. They will run around $1.69 to $1.99. I'm excited about us getting an account with Reddington and Sage to provide our rods, reels, and waders for a ridiculous discount. I guess working at Sportsman's Warehouse for $8.50 an hour for 3 years paid off. I have a lot of connections from that job that will give me an advantage.
I met with my C.P.A. on Saturday to figure out the LLC filing and a bunch of boring things. This week we will make it official and have a business license and be running. I just registered the domain simplyfishingutah.com to help with SEO as well. You can type in simplifishing.com or simplyfishingutah.com. The simpli spelled with an "I" was a big mistake for the original website. Should have just taken simplyfishing.net when I registered the domain.
We will be starting a fishing forum this week as well. This will be a place for fisherman to share their fishing experiences, fishing reports, tips, etc. We will link the website to it as well as the website to the forum. I'm bored of writing so keep it simply simple.
