    Bought 2 new websites from Shopify Exchange

    EXECUTION 
    In a way it certainly has been as I have been unable to bring the conversion rate up as I was expecting. I do still have a few things that I’m going to try and do including installing a payment app as obviously making 4 payments on a $300 item might make it better for some people. If those don’t...

    Bought 2 new websites from Shopify Exchange

    EXECUTION 
    Sorry been swamped with business and other exciting life things happening. I’ve been averaging 1 sale a day ($300-$500) so after ads and product costs I’ve been break even or at a slight lost for sure 1. I think the issue is the products are more likely to be bought in store vs online as the...

    Because of their change from authority sites to Ecom it was taking them considerably longer to get sites purchased/built. I know it was taking some people almost a year to get a site depending on how big a site. I would 100% email or call them and see what’s up especially with almost a million...

    HELP! ONLY GOT 3 MONTHS TO MAKE IT. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

    HOT! 
    So I’m not trying to jump on you but it seems to me all you have is excuses of why you can’t or shouldn’t do something when someone gives you their opinion. Honestly you have to decide if your life currently sucks enough to do something about it or if you are happy being mediocre in your...

    Moved to Scottsdale, Growing a Web Design Firm

    GOLD! 
    So not trying to give you something else to add to your plate as I’m sure you’re busy with what you currently have going but I wanted to reach out with an idea for you. I run e-commerce sites and came across an ad for a conversion optimization company. That company charges 2k a month for a 3...

    Stay In School It's Not A Waste Of Time!

    RANT 
    IMO the problem is that school (assuming your speaking of college) is no longer about learning or even questioning beliefs. Colleges are filled with teachers who are believe and teach the same way and if someone believes or teaches different then they are called names or not allowed on campus at...

    Lots of new faces here since I was active. What's your why?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    My why has changed multiple times over the last 10 or so years that I’ve been an entrepreneur. My why used to be to have enough money to pay the bills. That’s why I started, I had to have some more income or go and get another job. Then my why changed to being able to work less hours at a job...

    Income Store, Legit? NO, A SCAM AS WE PREDICTED.

    HOT! 
    At the moment I’m really upset with them as they’ve been giving me the run around with some issues with my site/contract. I’m far less “bullish” about Income Store than I was when I first posted this and honestly would tell anyone who is interested to not do anything until they decide to get...

    How do i create trust in the fastlane for my slowlane girlfriend?

    HOT! SLOWLANE PEOPLE 
    As many other people have said... results is the answer. If I was bringing in $500 a month for a year and a half I’m pretty sure my wife would be hounding me too. Not because she is a horrible person or a “slowlaner” but because money is required to live and $500 a month for that long period...

    Testing an idea (Barter site) - been itching to this.

    IDEA 
    I guess the main issue I have with a barter site or even a barter store is that in the US we already have a pretty well working barter system. I have something I don’t need but need something else? I sell the first item for a certain amount of money. I then take said money and buy item number...

    Disrupting the MLS

    REAL ESTATE 
    I’ve seen tons of advertising for Redfin only charging 1.5% to sell your house... that is a huge discount compared to normal charges. I just sold my house about a year ago and paid 5% (almost 15k). An extra 10k off of fees would have been awesome!

    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Honestly... I don’t think anyone (including eBay employees) have any idea how their crap best match works. There is a reason why I don’t sell hardly anything on eBay anymore.

    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Sales for 2018 were about the same as 2017 which was of course a bummer. This year I’m probably just going to try and put that side of the business on autopilot. I’m beginning to pivot a bit into trying to become more of a wholesaler of some similar products. The margins are considerably better...

    Yeah lived in San Tan valley for about 2 years and then moved to Mesa last summer after getting tired of driving to Mesa everytime we wanted to do something lol. We loved our house in San Tan but it was really far out from any restaurants or things to do. We now live about 5 minutes from the...

    We moved out to Arizona from the Midwest 3 years ago. Recently went back and still had people guilt tripping us about moving here... after 3 years! Idk if it ever goes away but let me tell you, I was never more happy to get on the plane and come home! Just the weather here makes life so much...

    Mail-In VHS "Box-O-Tapes" Business Idea

    IDEA 
    I was more speaking from the customers point of view and the item being shipped to you not you shipping to them. Once the item is to you safely of course you can just back up the files on an external hard drive in case of emergency but if a box is crushed or lost in the mail on the way to you...

    Mail-In VHS "Box-O-Tapes" Business Idea

    IDEA 
    Transfer Videotapes to DVD Walmart does it too... DVD Walmart | Videotape Transfer If two local stores already do it what reason would anyone have for sending it off in the mail and hoping their fragile memories don’t get literally crushed?

    Mail-In VHS "Box-O-Tapes" Business Idea

    IDEA 
    Why would someone mail their precious tapes to you when they can just go to their nearest Walgreens and have it done without having to send it to a stranger and hope they don’t screw up their priceless memories? What value do you provide them more than Walgreens (or whoever eles) does?

    How To Profit From The Coming Recession?

    INVESTING 
    Honestly there will always be a recession around the corner... the problem is you don’t know which corner! To say that I will pull out of x because of the coming recession means you know when the best time to pull out is. Almost every single expert agreed that if Trump was elected the economy...

    EXECUTION 
    Google shopping is by far the most cost effective way to advertise on google. You can control bidding on individual items so starting low and slowly raising bids as you gain more conversion data is the way to go. For the last week I’ve averaged .16 a click on mobile shopping and .31 a click on...
