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.
