    My conversion rate sucks. Can I ask for advice?

    The thing w/ the pics is, I can take general pics all day, but these suits look terrible on a hangar. They only look decent when being worn. Never really thought about Shopify. While I am always looking to save a few bucks, Im willing to spend what is necessary. Is Shopify worth the price?

    I looked at a few ecommerce software packages and thought that one looked good. Maybe much better options out there I guess, but Im not sure what. The new site still needs a lot of work, doing things like integrating the logo, and better images as mentioned. Guess I better start shopping for...

    This is very helpful. Thanks a ton! You (and others) talked a lot about the photography... Do those of you who do Ecommerce pay someone to do the photography for you, or do you set up light-rooms and do it yourself?

    This is gold. I really appreciate your feedback. I'll check out that Udemy course. Im using Zencart, and it really is a pain. I needed to add additional pages, but it was really hard to do, so I ended up doing the stacked menus. That's why Im doing a rebuild in Abantecart, though I have a...

    I dont currently have any ads at all. So my traffic for July was 65% organic, 23% Direct, 9% Referral, and 3% social. My bounce rate was 55% on the main page, but drops to 39% on my motorcycle leathers subcategory. It looks like they're jumping ship before adding to cart, as those who did...

    Per analytics, 1k users in the month of July. 2 Sales. So, that's what, .2% conversion rate? Yeah, sucks. As for "look more like the other ones", looking at the competition, they're all pretty different. There's not a boiler-plate look. As I said, I designed it to be something that...

    I dont want to cross any lines here, so I wont put up my url until someobody tells me it's cool to do so. But w/out getting into it, I sell motorcycle apparel, and specialize in custom racing leathers. I get decent traffic on my website, but my conversion rate sucks. I designed it as if I...

    Is this the time to invest in Puerto Rico?

    This is all good info, and in line with that I've been seeing. It is clear PR has a LOT of issues right now. But I think the (long-term) future will be bright. In addition to everything you noted are the major tax benefits of living there, especially in regards to Acts 20 & 22. I am...

    Is this the time to invest in Puerto Rico?

    The housing market has crashed. People are abandoning the island in droves. After decades of neglect, the electrical grid couldnt handle a hurricane. Unemployment and poverty are extremely high. Property prices have nowhere to go but up? Lots of $ coming in, repairing the old...

    Licensing Celebrities Images

    My understanding is: If I were to take a stock photo of some celebrity (let's say Kobe Bryant for example), and use it to draw a picture of him, and try to sell it commercially, I could get into legal trouble. Correct? .. . Because he did not sign off or license it? If that assumption is...

    Not sure if I should take 'er out back and shoot 'er

    You're right about that. 40 sales is nothing and not good enough. I currently have a couple dozen products (including variations of designs. Hard to describe w/out getting into a lot of detail). Some of the designs could stand to be updated again (I do that every 5 years or so). I...

    Not sure if I should take 'er out back and shoot 'er

    Good question. And hard to answer. Currently, I'm working for a company I like, but their work environment is inflexible. I want to work from home and from somewhere warm in the winter. Since I've never been able to grow the business, or come up with another idea, I've been pursuing that...

    Not sure if I should take 'er out back and shoot 'er

    Yes I have. I raised my prices, and sales dried up quite a bit, due to competition in the same niche. So now I run a lot of sales, bringing them back down to basically where they were before.

    Not sure if I should take 'er out back and shoot 'er

    It varies every year, but 40ish last year. Prices also vary depending on the type of thing bought, but average sale is probably $500-$600.

    Not sure if I should take 'er out back and shoot 'er

    So I've had a side business for 10 years now: Almost all online sales making custom protective gear for motorcyclists. I've always had a reasonably good paying full-time job aside from my business, and having a requirement for good health insurance due to some issues, I have never really had...
