    Public Liability Insurance & Online Auto Parts

    Hi Everyone, I'll keep this short and sweet. Over the last year I have been running an Online Auto Parts store. We directly import our parts from USA and sell them in Australia. We have had a solid year to date and things are definitely improving. The time had come to review our insurances and...

    2022 - What Skill will you master?

    MINDSET 
    I like your thinking in regards to setting process goals as opposed to outcome goals. Producer, not consumer is the goal. I feel that being properly equipped with skills to do 3D prototyping would reduce one of many hurdles amongst all the other benefits.

    2022 - What Skill will you master?

    MINDSET 
    Lately I have been thinking alot about the future 'me', where my business will be headed next year and what I need to do to develop myself. I am willing to admit that 2021, while it was a productive year in the scheme of things - there is still ALOT of room for improvement. This year coming...

    Gratitude. Why is this controversial? 2021 reflections.

    MINDSET HEALTH 
    This is a great thread. What better time to sit back and reflect as I know I have not practiced the art of Gratitude at all this year. It has been a whirlwind of a year, as it has been for many. So here is goes. - First, my family. I have 2 amazing kids, supportive wife and a third on the way...

    Funding Options

    I was only just thinking this over the weekend. I think I could definitely pre-sell quite a few units. Maybe that's an ideal route since I could do this internationally. Thankyou for your suggestion. I could get my logo in the tooling, maybe located on a non visible location.

    Thankyou for your feedback, I will have a look into tokenization as I am not familiar with this.

    Funding Options

    Currently running my online store that supplies car parts to a niche market. It has been moving along reasonably - enough to keep me happy but not run off my feet. What I have noticed though is a need for a specific product. There is only one main supplier (ie. OEM manufacturer) that sells this...

    It finally came to me... (My first sales !!)

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for taking interest Kevin. You are correct, except I don't exactly charge a huge premium for the products. I try to keep them at 'reasonable' prices and take into consideration if there is a similar product locally - most the time there isn't. So if a product is priced at $200US...

    It finally came to me... (My first sales !!)

    EXECUTION 
    It's been a few months since I have actually been on here, and I need to re-energize and re-focus. The business has been moving along steadily. I've had some pretty reasonable months with stock levels slowly building. The past month hit 200 sales and $9,000 (AUD) for the month with this month...

    Low Conversion Rate - Help?

    MARKETING 
    Thankyou. To be honest, I am going off Shopify's suggest conversion rate for my 'industry' of 1.34%. Although, my business model is quite niche so I was hoping to hit 1.00%. I will look at that link. At the moment, my stock count is down as I need to fulfill more orders to have the funds to...

    Low Conversion Rate - Help?

    MARKETING 
    Hi Everyone, I started a online store supplying performance parts for classic BMWs. It's been great to date, over 100 sales and good traffic. Unfortunately, my conversion rate is 0.75%. Keen to improve this. Would love some reviews on my site. I've just upgraded the product pages to provide...

    It finally came to me... (My first sales !!)

    EXECUTION 
    Some success, let's see if I can keep it going. Exciting news is I've had another large order placed and coming from the states. I had to put in around $3000 of my own funds but the business paid for $8000 with revenue. Best part is, I still hold around 30-40 % of my stock. I've got plenty of...

    It finally came to me... (My first sales !!)

    EXECUTION 
    This last week has been interesting. We have had less sales, but higher sale amounts. We are still having good interest in the website and our viewing numbers are up, time spent on website is higher also. I truly believe that the main reason people aren't buying is the product support isn't...

    Thank you Zahilda! I'll send you a message at some point with the concept of my idea!

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks! It's been a learning curve so far but enjoying the challenge! I've checked what my total sales is now, sitting at $5,100! My conversion rate is only 0.97% which is on the low side. Looking to improve this! Good idea. Haven't even thought about Youtube Ads. I have been developing an...
