    Wordpress Question

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    True, I am constructing an ecommerce store as we speak but, for the time being, WP seems like it would be a good interim platform. I am tech savvy in other areas just no so much with web design and programming.

    Dropshippers Advice Needed

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    True, but I think some people prefer seeing the physical product move as opposed to most affiliates which are electronic products. Not really as satisfying maybe? As for affiliate programs, I have tried them in the past without much success. Reasons are varied but I would imagine it's lack of...

    Dropshippers Advice Needed

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    The unique selling point of this company is that fact that it's model is similar to TOMs Shoes' model of 1 for 1. But, my site will focus on books and providing them to school districts, schools, people, etc etc that are in need of updated reading materials. I will not be doing the 1 for 1 as...

    Dropshippers Advice Needed

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    What specific aspects about the plan are you looking for me to explain? The way I will be selling the products will be through online and offline marketing. The online marketing will be the most crucial because it will help this business to achieve critical mass quickly. The reason for this is...

    Dropshippers Advice Needed

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I think its just to begin to figure out how to drop ship while making a small amount of money, even though your margins are rather low. For a person who's just introducing themselves into drop-shipping, I think it's decent. Least for the time being as I put together the actual site. I'd like...

    Dropshippers Advice Needed

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    The reason I like shopster is because it also has ebay integration and you needn't pay for a store nor any monthly fees for the time being. It would be a good test hub to figure out a niche rather than dropping 300 or more for some dropshippers and begin a monthly charge without knowing if what...

    Wordpress Question

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Thanks for all the replies guys and gals. I would use Wordpress as the springboard into a full-scale ecommerce site. I am just learning web design and programming at the moment and would like to get a small venture started to provide a little extra income as I refine my skills. The store I am...

    Wordpress Question

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    How goes it everyone? I have a quick question directed a those of you who use wordpress as the foundation for your ecommerce sites. How simple is it to use and how easily can you expand functionality with plugins? Also, how successful have you been using this foundation as opposed to...

    Hey everyone! I have a question to those of you out there who use a drop-shipping method for your stores. Have any of you ever used shopster? If so, what has your experience been like? Secondly, what other drop-shippers do you use and how reliable are they? I've just begun to put together a...

    The Business Idea Thread

    IDEA 
    An idea I had is similar to the quirky site. It would be a place where up and coming inventors can place their idea out there to be voted on and would be brought to market from the aggregation of those individuals. The reason I am not working on that is because, A) it's not really a passion of...

    The Business Idea Thread

    IDEA 
    Lamboman, have you ever used the site called Quirky.com? It's a socially run site that gives you the opportunity to present your idea to designers, manufactures, distributors and the like. From which they vote on the idea and bring it to market. The cost is exceptionally low. Might want to...

    Oh, my bad. Guess I went through it without knowing it, thanks.

    Lead generation

    Thought I'd bump this very old thread since I've been reading a little bit up on lead generation and I guess my questions are similar. Though I've got my industry and expect it to prove to be fruitful if I play my cards right.

    For Profit Company With Social Ambitions

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Could you give me some examples of some good non-profits that might be similar to what I am talking about? And I know some non-profits make some money but I am not sure if its exactly the venue I'm looking for. Thank you for the insight though.

    For Profit Company With Social Ambitions

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    That is the point of the company. It will give them the tools and the ideas of which to propel themselves forward. I do have to disagree that capitalism and altruism are polar opposites though. I believe that capitalism, historically speaking anyway, grew out of altruism. But that is all I...

    For Profit Company With Social Ambitions

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Well that is the purpose. I was throwing around this idea for a while but I was not sure that it was feasible economically speaking. I thought there must be a way to leverage a for-profit company and combine it with a social element. This hybrid between traditional business and non-profits...

    For Profit Company With Social Ambitions

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    This is true, but non-profits are among the first and hardest hit when an economy sours. Plus, a lot of non-profits may be enormous and have goals to help people, but since they are usually reliant upon donations and grants, once it gets too big they can implode under their own weight and...

    For Profit Company With Social Ambitions

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I do believe the consumer will see the value in buying from me primarily because they will be actively involved in the marketing and branding. Rather than the companies who have a social arrangement where they give a percentage of sales, and the customer does not see anything tangible in that...

    For Profit Company With Social Ambitions

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hey, everyone! I'm back. First, has anyone read "Creative Capitalism?" It's Bill Gates' speech in Davos, Switzerland, about a new type of capitalism and some of the great economic thinkers of our time responses to the speech. I found it to be very good and truly encapsulates where I think we...
