Journal Entry #5
As always, please feel free to give me feed back, suggestions, and your thoughts as I develop my $10.00 business!
As you’ll recall from last week’s journal entry, I have decided to go forward with a website business called She’s Got Her Head in the Crown. Crown will provide answers to pageant questions, offer advice, and help women network in order to benefit their platform and/or pageant experience as a whole. This site will also allow young women to sell their used dresses while donating to a cause. 5% of each sale will be given to the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN).
Since making this switch I have left intuit.com; its advanced features were not Mac compatible and made it difficult to manage my pages. Instead I have created a website using my Mac iweb application and plan to launch it this weekend
Other exciting news, I have a twitter page and a blog which have already generated internet traffic. I plan to track my social impact through followers on twitter, my blog and hits on the website once it is up and running. Also, as a long-term goal, I will track sales and how much is donated to the CMN.

Using these social media networks to generate a following will help to increase my social impact. After just one day with a twitter account for Crown, I have 20 followers. I did this by reaching out to fellow tweeters who target the same audience as I do.
While I eventually hope to turn a small profit off of hosting girls dresses on my site, my focus is to help young women and to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network.
My main concern with running this site and all of its components is that I already manage my personal and Women in Business club Twitter and Blog. There are only so many hours I can give to updating these mediums in one day, especially now that it is week 8 (which in RIT language means CRAZY time).

This business is a product of a class assignment; the $10 Business Challenge. For my Entrepreneurship class we have been tasked with the challenge of starting a business with $10.oo; Yes, a real business with only $10.00.

3. Business can be for-profit or non-for-profit
4. Additional funding for the business must come from business profits or Fundraising
5. For-profit business must maintain financial records
