When did you start your website and why?

Started around three years ago as a hobby really, a family friend brought me Dreamweaver which I played around with and learnt a whole load of stuff. Thought up an idea wrote a few of my own e-books which did well on ebay and then I moved on to selling on my own site. Ebookads is for people who use ebay mostly, I found ebay too restrictive to sell certain types of ebook so I went from there.

Ebookads give the ordinary person on the street the chance to have there own web-site, they can sell a product and link straight through to us at a very low cost. We only charge £4.99 per year for a full page of around 200 words with an image. Existing customers can edit for only £1.99
