The idea
Here is my initial ABOUT that appeared on the original front page of CanadianaConnection.com:
The purpose of this site is two-fold.
Initially, we began this site to allow us to connect with other Canadians that have chosen to live the “American Dream”. We were curious about Canadians who moved here, their reasons, motives, and what they were homesick for. Since then, we have discovered that there are Canadians located all over the world who are experiencing the same homesickness for Canada with an excitement and appreciation for their new country.
Secondly, it is meant to educate us about Canada in a fun and informal way.
I created a site that was perfect for blogging but I didn’t realize it.
People began signing up to receive my updates in droves. I was managing this very large mailing list and mailing out update notifications manually at home. The site grew to hundreds of pages. When I finally got my work permit, I officially started my company, CyberCletch LLC.
I was not generating an income with Canadiana Connection; everything I created and the associated costs were all done & paid out of love for the site. I tried selling products, which did incredibly well September to December, but I was busy making better money with CyberCletch and moved my efforts there.
Fast forward a few years and we relocated our family again, from Ohio to Michigan where I eventually divorced and my two young boys became self-sufficient young men. I sold everything and decided to live a minimalist life on the road pursuing my love of travel.
Best Wishes,
