Escape the Borg! - My Journey to Freedom, Ecommerce
GOLD!Well I have hit my first major hurdle. Because I didn't raise my prices, my supplier is cutting me off. I have no more products to sell with a HUGE increase in demand (more on this in a second). Some might ask why I don't just raise prices. The long term effects out weigh the short term...- PTP

Escape the Borg! - My Journey to Freedom, Ecommerce
GOLD!I actually have been over there 3 times already. The email with the designs was sent after I talked with the owner. While he is not able to manufacture the parts at his shop, he referenced me to another company. I called them and they said they have done this kind of manufacturing before for...- PTP

I went into the office today on Black Friday
Seems to be a common theme among the successful. My favorite quote about Black Friday: "If people put the same exact effort into working their butts off, they would never care about a sale."- PTP

GOLD!Control. Control. Control. Let me say it again. CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL! My supplier is screwing with me again. Its really starting to get annoying. He starts by asking me what I am selling my current products for. I tell him (a price that is not accurate but close) and then he starts...- PTP

GOLD!And so it begins... I dropped the product off at the guys house and will get the CADs back on Wednesday. If the design works out im going to find a manufacture and get an idea of what the costs of USA manufacturing are going to look like. There is a different style of this product that one of...- PTP

GOLD!Update (Long post ahead): Sorry for the hiatus. It has been rough month+. Sales almost all of October had been extremely slow. A few intermittent decent days but generally not very good to say the least. My number one product is still out of stock. Looking back at sales data, whenever this...- PTP

GOLD!Testing something out. Focusing on learning adwords. Intentionally getting lower sales but slightly lower/ similar profits as before. Once I refine adwords, I will ramp up sales again this time with more profit. Instagram 13k.- PTP

GOLD!Quick update: My supplier was on vacation since end of July/early August. I had made a large order in advance but I was not expecting the increase in volume and ran out. So that basically means a month a wasted sales. More products are now finally en route. Let this be a lesson to all. If you...- PTP
