    BigCommerce Rest In Peace (Alternatives Re: Price Increase)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    PLEASE start a Progress Thread for this, @Vigilante, as one of the reasons our startup will be launching on Amazon exclusively at first is because we don't know the back-end set up of an E-Commerce Website using Shopify, etc. You would definitely have a #1 fan out of me

    Folks, it's 2000 (or 2008) all over again.

    Why do I have to study Finance and Mathematics and see this at the same time... :headbanger: Ignorance is bliss; education is responsibility I guess.

    Do you want to do it the EASY way, or the HARD way?

    I figured as much. And tbh I have the capacity to do effective research on this question. I've just been preoccupied with other components, so that is just slacking on my part. I've also been taking notes on the way that you do research. Our methods are similar, especially since I don't use...

    3 Pinnacles of Indecision & How to Face Them

    MINDSET 
    It is true. I feel like a lot of my, and other, aspiring entrepreneurs suffer from a lack of decision experience. Its why simple things like preselling on a cellphone seems daunting, even though we spend hours a week on a cellphone during regular conversations. My personal struggle is with...

    HOW DO I SERIOUSLY GIVE UP GAMING

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I've recently quit video games in the past 1.5 years, and that still hit me VERY hard. It makes sense. No barrier to entry + success + glory = Why live the other life? I used to be morbidly addicted to games. It was pathetic. If I could have gone back in time to when I was a teenager (like 3-4...

    3 Pinnacles of Indecision & How to Face Them

    MINDSET 
    I hear about this a lot in marketing strategy. It makes creating Landing Pages MUCH easier! I think Loewenstein is trying to point out that making decisions can become quickly distorted. It is almost like the half-life of radioactive material: you have a timer before the opportunity from making...

    3 Pinnacles of Indecision & How to Face Them

    MINDSET 
    I'm writing a little research-driven book about entrepreneurship and the brain. One very intriguing study I've uncovered is by George Loewenstein, an Economics & Psychology Professor from Carnegie Mellon University. His research looks into exactly WHY we have trouble Making Decisions...

    I retired for a year at age 38: here's what I learned.

    You have no idea how inspiring that is to me. One of my greatest personal challenges has been overcoming the fear of losing money. It has held me back from many project successes and I still feel it breathing down my neck as I prepare to launch my current startup. I've read more books than I...

    GOLD! 
    Okay, thank you for clearing that up. I've been reading several stories of Amazon offing white-hat sellers for stupid reasons, some even involving "product descriptions not accurately describing the product", so any additional information on how to prevent that from happening would be golden...

    Could you elaborate on which one of these are best used for which component of research? I'm currently doing research manually (By listing every item of that niche on Amazon, tracking reviews for improvements, seeing seller demographics, etc.) and I'd like to find a software that offers basic...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I've always imagined being in this position, but in a more business-oriented way. So let me ask you this @Red : In that year of retirement, did you feel any ADDITIONAL inspiration or success towards business goals? Perhaps maybe projects you had come across years ago that were put on the...

    I think that is fair, given that book authors have the all-powerful KDP Select Opportunity. If there was something like that for products....

    What about the bullet points and descriptions take the most time? I started on on Amazon as an e-book author, so I know that its completely different from physical product sales.

    Okay, and do those landing page services interact with any custom company domains, or is it subdomained by Amazon? I would assume that Amazon Landing Pages wouldn't be very effective, or as effective as independent landing page services that allow you to customize the domain and directories. I...

    @biophase I know you touched up on this once or twice in your 2015 e-commerce AMA, but I'd really like to know more about manufacturing improvements. You mentioned that some take CAD drawings and some take regular pencil sketches. You also mentioned, molds, tools and equipment, etc. So, let's...

    I assume that aiming to become a vendor is unrealistic and more corporate-oriented? AKA Lack of the Commandment of Control? I'm actually looking for more Gold/AMA threads on this forum for Amazon selling. I have a lot of threads on importing currently in my bookmarks, and I've found one or two...

    I'm confused on the foundational differences being discussed here. I know what an Amazon Seller Account is, and am familiar with FBA, but what was Troy discussing? What do vendor accounts specialize in? And what is the Amazon Marketing Services (AMS) referring to... all PPC, Troy's "special" PPC?

    I've just read through this thread, I've been taking a lot of notes. A lot of discussions, and I have some questions I believe are new: 1) Different from the theme of this thread, my product is your standard pre-internet "invent and launch" type of project. So Is there any different process I...
