Another great week ahead

This upcoming week has a lot in store. Most importantly could be the new job I'm starting. I've been working on campus since January (excluding the summer) and I've really enjoyed it. But, I've been feeling a change is in store, so I sent out a few resumes and had a few interviews, and ended up agreeing to go work for a company called Doba.

Who is Doba? Good question. They are a drop shipping company. What Doba does is offer a service to people who are trying to start online businesses with eBay or Amazon.com. The idea is to give access to 1.6 million products at wholesale price, which they in turn can sell on Amazon or eBay or whatever for a small profit. The cool thing is that they make it super duper easy to post products on eBay and other sites, and Doba doesn't require users to pay for products until the item has been sold. Then Doba will ship the product, the user pays Doba, and whatever is left after the wholesale price and shipping is the small profit that the user keeps. I hope that makes sense.

So how do I make money? I call people that have signed up for a free two week trial of Doba and offer them a membership for either 40 dollars each month, or 400 (or something like that) dollars each year. I do get a base pay, and then if I can get sales, it boosts my pay more. So there is potential to make a decent amount of money.

I'm excited if it all works out. The hours are better, the pay could be much better, and it's good experience. In the end, if I end up finding that it's a lame place to work, I can quit, and my boss on campus has told me there is a return policy, that they'll take me back. So I don't have a lot of pressure on me right now which is a definite plus.

At any rate, that's my new job and we hope it works out well. Also, we have quite a bit of school work due. I have 3 tests this week and a small paper due, and Becca seems to have quizzes or tests every other day. I've also got an ultimate frisbee game which will be fun.

In the end, I just wanted to get on here and say life isn't too shabby right now. Becca and I are enjoying BYU, we've got a sweet apartment, a great ward, a fun calling, and overall no complaints. I'm a lucky guy.
