    EXECUTION 
    Hi, no not at the minute, my blog is rubbish so you're not missing out there. It's the website I'm working on. However I will PM a mod with the site details so they can verify it :)

    EXECUTION

    $5000 to $30,000 per month - eCommerce Progress

    EXECUTION 
    Don't give up, find work arounds. You can get a UK address for £10-£30 a month that will forward mail. Google them, plenty available throughout the UK, just choose a location, avoid London as it's a bit too obvious. You can get a UK local phone number that diverts to any number (VOIP) or a...

    $5000 to $30,000 per month - eCommerce Progress

    EXECUTION 
    1. Not when I first started, I barely even showed an address. The original site I started didn't do very well, when I created the niche site I listed my office address for my day job (funny when people used to turn up asking for my product!) I started showing full phone numbers and addresses...

    EXECUTION 
    My company was a sole trader for 1 year, then a ltd company (LLC) for 3 years till this date, so 4 years in total. It was always a passive sideline with little effort, it's only been since about June 2015 that I started trying to increase it with a different niche. So it's not an over night...

    Creating A New Product With An Existing Manufacturer - Licensing?

    My business deals in a certain electronic product. I sell these products from a few key brands. I can make the product better by combining the best features of all the current manufacturers and adding 1 new unique, problem solving feature which will open up more customers to a product they...

    EXECUTION 
    Good question. My top ranked store is actually on Opencart. The other sites were originally on Opencart as well. The new sites are on Magento hosted by a specialist Magento company. Why Did I Move To Magento? I wanted certain features and capabilities, mostly revolving around multi-store as...

    $5000 to $30,000 per month - eCommerce Progress

    EXECUTION 
    Oh yeah, I remembered I have the .com for my domain and my top products aren't sold in the USA. Interesting.... To be honest at the minute my site is probably much more geared to the US anyway, the UK market is only just catching on! Watch This Space. (might be a while, I have no idea how to...

    EXECUTION 
    Hi, the well ranked site was my second foray into e-commerce, I'm not professing to be an expert at SEO, quite the opposite as I know my site has some key SEO issues that need fixing, but the particular product that we rank top 3 for is very niche, we managed to secure a really good deal with...

    $5000 to $30,000 per month - eCommerce Progress

    EXECUTION 
    About $8000-$10,000 of the sales are down to a very niche USA product that we have the UK domain for, we're top 3 results for every product in Google and we have a trade following so that helps. It's not a very mainstream product but we will be trying to increase sales throughout this year, I...

    EXECUTION 
    I'm from England and I have a part time e-commerce business which has grown from a bedroom operation to what it is now in a short space of time. I also have another monthly subscription business start up and I work full time for the family businesses (for now) I do okay. But the family business...

    What does your avatar mean?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have no real knowledge of Warren Buffet and don't really know of him well enough to "idolise him". I chose it simply because it sums up what I am working for at the minute, it's not about how much I make, how many cars I buy or anything like that, at the minute it's all about creating a system...

    What was YOUR biggest business/life lesson in 2015?

    I learnt quite a lot last year, a culmination of reading, doing and general life lessons. Certainly made an impact into 2016 already in my mindset and attitude. Scale & Magnitude, it's just one of those punch-in-the-face obvious things that sometimes you overlook, but when you really...

    ECommerce - Tell Me Everything 2016

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I have three online retail shops, two are in a niche, one is a bit broader. Obviously the two niche stores are doing best. But I am by no means where I need/want to be. I have recently joined this forum and I've seen a lot of posts on eCommerce but haven't come across everything I need to know...

    *RANT* "You're middle aged - you should really start thinking about your retirement."

    MINDSET 
    Take a look back on this post in a week, a month, a year, two years, five years? Do you want to be in a position where you could copy and paste it to a new thread and it still be the story of your life? One thing I've learnt is that situations don't change unless you change them or remove...

    EXECUTION 
    I disagree.....it depends what you do with the profits. There are loads of small eCommerce businesses making a few thousand a week profit, if that's saved up and re-invested in other fast lane activities then the eCommerce business is still fast lane in my opinion. My eCommerce business...

    So I've got a SaaS idea, What Now?

    IDEA SAAS / APPS 
    Thanks for this, the Zhen HRM looks really good, it doesn't do what my idea is, but it's not too dissimilar in look, feel and features. I could spend around £5k on it in the not too distant future, I had no idea that you could get a MVP for that kind of money, I just assumed it would be...

    So I've got a SaaS idea, What Now?

    IDEA SAAS / APPS 
    Thanks, I can't view that forum unfortunately though :(. I suppose really I need to draw out my software idea and then get a quote first to see what my idea will actually cost to get off the ground, it should be relatively straight forward. (It's a bit more complicated than Trello, but a whole...
