    Sure I'm no expert but I have read a decent amount. There are a lot of different factors involved. One of the most important as far as site design is page titles. You want your keywords right at the front of the page title. You want a concise url structure, as short as possible but with some...

    I just wrote a long update and then hit the wrong button. Grrrr. Here's a shorter rundown. I've been working my butt off. Site is up but not launched yet. I've learned SEO pretty well and how to customize opencart pretty well. The site design and layout is all there. I spent a good chunk of...

    I thought I'd pop back in and give an update. I've been busy and making steady progress. My website is up though it is not published yet. My time scale hasn't quite been on track with my goals but I have had a lot to do and didn't know quite what to expect at the beginning. Since the last update...

    I'd rather not say at this point. There are different brands, different sizes and specifications for different applications, and accessories.

    I appreciate that MJ and I feel the same way. Even if the market doesn't like this particular offer I will have learned a lot and it will be much quicker and easier to set up the next venture. I like what you have said before about taking action, starting the process and then solving problems...

    My First Ecommerce Venture

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    The niche I am in is somewhat confusing for the customer. I plan on offering better information resources on the site, better content, stellar customer service, and a better web site. I don't plan on competing on price. Even if I were to match competitors I still have a profit margin of at...

    I've been in contact with suppliers in one of the niches I was pursuing and I have 3 lined up so far that will drop ship for me. My cost vs competition price points is between 20 and 45% margin depending on the particular product. I believe I can add value by setting up a web site that offers a...

    I have found 3 niches that I believe I can add value to. I haven't chosen one to go ahead with because I am contacting some suppliers in the different niches first. I am well aware that I don't have shit as of right now, I was only trying to help other newbys to eCommerce by creating this...

    I've been overanalyzing niches and taking the other steps was my way of maintaining momentum.

    Backwards or not at least I'm taking action. Those steps were going to have to be taken at one point or another regardless. I'm keeping my niches simple and Opencart shouldn't pose any problem for any niche I choose. I'll find something to sell and when I do I already have the other stuff done.

    I have chosen eCommerce as my business path. I've been interested in eCommerce for years and have finally decided to get off my a$$ and take action. To any newbs who are wondering how to get started on this road, I've found extremely valuable information from Biophase's posts as well as...

    No more lurking for me... Today I had an epiphany

    Well after some more soul searching I decided since I am still somewhat inexperienced that I shouldn't get family involved in any of my schemes just yet. Though I still believe my plan was a good idea I seriously doubt they would have the time to deal with it. I need to get some experience on my...

    Wow....Thanks for that Vigilante. I've thought about Sam and his story often. I'm in a small town between Bentonville and Little Rock, about an hour and a half from Bentonville. I'm absolutely going to take your advice. Have you been there? Thanks again.

    No more lurking for me... Today I had an epiphany

    Thanks for the welcome guys. :tiphat: Yes it does, people would not want to live without it. It's everywhere. I guess you can say that there's more service than product involved in the business. I certainly do intend to bring all that to the table MJ... everything that I have to offer. I...
