    How long did it take you to get your first sale on Amazon?

    EXECUTION 
    I'm not importing yet but my first custom/private label product sold 15 days after it reached the warehouse. My first case purchase of products took 30 days for the first sale but it's an out of season product. I am running product ads but those do not show as the source of the sales. I'm also...

    Thoughts on this Execution?

    EXECUTION 
    Brief Backstory: I was trying to sell pictures (stock photography). It wasn't going anywhere. Started reading TMFL book again and realized some hard truths. 1. I was trying to fit in "what I love" 2. I have nothing particularly new, different or outstanding to offer. 3. Trying to do it all...

    Promising Test Results

    One of my biggest pet peeves is that everything works. That means I just have to pick one and run with, but if I'm not careful I end up bouncing around. New case in point: I created a photo tutorial as I was making Christmas presents this past December and I published it as a small Kindle book...

    Wordpress or building a website from scratch?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I used WP extensively for about 8 years. Integrated custom code, built themes, built plugins, turned into CMS and datafeed product shopping sites etc. When their code and upgrades became more of a hassle than a useful tool for my needs, I went to custom. I still use it for simple sites and agree...

    The "Astonishing Secrets" Thread

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    $2 bills are more rare/unusual. They get people talking and showing them off. Some people even treat them like 4 leaf clovers and hang onto them for ages. So his marketing message will be flaunted, saved, and looked at multiple times instead of just disappearing into a cash register and forgotten.

    So They Whip Out Their Credit Card...

    I added "Stock Photo" to the title on the problem page. There's no buy/download button there because this one is an archive page. If anyone clicks through to the sales page I now have that one updated as well. Thanks again everyone, great help!

    So They Whip Out Their Credit Card...

    Thanks everyone, great points. On selling fabric: I added an affiliate link last week to direct people to a fabric store. Haven't found a source for the exact product yet. I'm off to make the other suggested changes now.

    So They Whip Out Their Credit Card...

    And even proceed to fully complete the order in some cases... while seemingly oblivious to what they're actually paying for. I've recently decided to stop screwing around and start making massive forward movement. I'm selling stock photography. Several of my older background textures are photos...

    Need Your Advice...

    PEOPLE 
    When I am asked or referred for website development, I respond with "I don't build websites for others." It usually works. My grown daughter however, I have to handle differently. Years ago I made my living from affiliate websites. I would build sites from datafeeds, promote them well, then let...

    Member Blogs?

    They were available in the old forum but I just finished cruising the new features and didn't see them. Maybe the new status update is meant to replace them. Or maybe they're still around and I just missed them.

    Progress Thread: Stock Photography

    EXECUTION 
    I soft launched early this week! :) Been pulling 12-14 hours of super focused days so I haven't had time to post anything here. I got ticked off at pre-made CMS software so I dropped back to my own two weeks ago. It took just 10 days from that point to have the most important features...
