Well, I’ve officially caught up with the cutting edge of 2003 by finally registering and listing items for sale online via eBay’s half.com, so, uh… GO ME! I just might get the hang of this newfangled internet thingy one of these days, we’ll just half to wait and see (terrible pun intended!). I figure, hey, I’ve got a bunch of crappy history books that I have no intention of reading again, so rather than going with my normal option (burning them in a massive inferno) I’ve decided to see if I can’t make a buck or two off of them by selling them on the interwebs.

I would be lying if I said that I didn’t at least partially make this blog in order to be the first to rank when you type “Greg Vandagriff” into the search engines. I haven’t reached that goal yet, but I am proud to announce that I’ve crept my way up to #3 on Google’s rankings! Just give it some time, folks, just give it some time. I think a fair estimate of any SEO professional’s credibility can be derived from how high they rank for their own name (but I admit that it helps to have a unique or bizarre name)…

So today at work I discovered that if I push myself, I can generate a prodigious amount of content within a short time frame! I guess I had never really “pushed” myself that hard before and so it was somewhat of an epiphany for me to discover this myself. I’m thinking that I’m going to continue to do everything I can to produce a ridiculous amount of content at my work for SEO purposes, as I think this may be one of the best ways for me to contribute to the success of Sewell Direct. Not to mention the fact that, at least from what I’m told, the more you do something, the easier it becomes. I certainly hope that this is the case, as I wouldn’t mind becoming a better and more proficient writer. If I plan on freelancing at all, I’ll definitely need to put the money where my mouth is in this regard…
Freelancing. Hm, what a fascinating idea.

It looks like I got punked with the Utah Magnetic Signs- I strongly suspect that the traffic I observed through my research was a result of an automated, computerized query system, as further research has led me to believe that there isn’t any *real* traffic for Utah Magnetic Signs 
So it cost me $10.00 to learn that lesson, but hey, it was a lesson worth learning, right? Do careful research on your keywords before you jump into something.

What is it about entrepreneurship that fascinates me so much? I admit there are a number of factors to it that I find attractive; the biggest ones being the feelings of independence and ownership. There’s something appealing to me about putting in hour after hour of painful work and seeing growth in something that you own; being able to say “Hey, I did that.” The sense of accomplishment as you face, and overcome, the numerous challenges associated with your enterprise.

Yeah, I like to think of myself as being a capitalist. I have been known to champion the private sector against unnecessary and needless regulation. I firmly believe that, outside of serving in a few core capacities, the Government needs to get out of the way and stay out of the way, as their involvement leads to, in most cases, more inefficiency than efficiency. That is, I feel that public policy measures inflict a net loss on the social wellbeing of those it was designed to improve. The Government should exist to enforce property rights, contract law, and to act as an impartial judge during tort cases. In short, the government’s role should be to facilitate and enhance the ability of a free market economy to thrive and grow, nothing more.

Can’t say that I’ve previously been a real big fan of blogs. In fact, were it not for the encouragement from friends, family, and coworkers, I probably wouldn’t be a real big fan of writing much of anything. Yet here we are. On a blog. Owned by me. Truly this is a momentous occasion and I thank you for sharing it with me.
My name is Greg Vandagriff, I’m a 23 year-old student at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. I work part-time at an online electronics retailer and generally enjoy my job there. My interests include entrepreneurship and business in general. In fact, I seem to be absolutely possessed with the idea of owning my own business and selling it off for lots of money. What would I do with the money? Uh… start more businesses?
I guess I’m kind of stupid that way.
