Happy Birthday Cards, For The People In Your Life

Happy Birthday CardsCall me old-fashioned, but I have always enjoyed making my own happy birthday cards. For better or for worse, I never have a shortage of things to say to my friends, and this serves me well in making cards for birthdays. Occasionally, I write a happy birthday poem. Other times, I write about something that happened to me and the birthday boy or girl the past, and what it meant to me. Generally, it’s something sentimental but sometimes it’s a funny mischance we got into together. Some of the times, I even help when my family members write a happy birthday card for mutual friends or another family member. I figure, if I know what to say, why not put my skills to good use?

It is that line of thought that first inspired me to create a website to help people make happy birthday cards online.

I have almost no background in web development or programming, so my online cards began rather slow and clunky. At the start, all I had was a few simple cards as graphics files. You could download them for free, print them out and write your signature by hands. They were clever, and I made sure that the images were high-quality, but they were not very flexible. After all, there was no-good way to modify them at all.

Finally, I studied how to make them available as templates. I was so excited to be able to offer these tweakable happy birthday cards that I must have annoyed the heck out of my friends, repeatedly sending them admonitions to check over my latest card. After a while, I realized that people don’t want to see happy birthday cards each day. I continue to develop my site and figured that, when people needed cards, it would be there.

It has been a struggle getting traffic to my website, but I passed the time coming up with new types of cards. Nowadays, besides having happy birthday cards, you can get sympathy cards, a couple anniversary card and even a couple of simple “I was thinking about you” cards. I only get a few hundred visitors a month, but every month I do a bit better than the next month before. I have been making some initial inquiries into selling advertising space on the site. I haven’t had any biters yet, but I’m pretty confident that, as my online birthday card traffic growths. People will prefer to put up ads on my site. I imagine that, soon I may be making a tidy profit.
