    BookCon / Book Expo Experience and Trade Show Scam(s): Warning to Indie Authors

    NOTABLE! 
    Will be interested in hearing how it plays out! Assuming if they take the legal route there's language in their contracts around "we are not responsible for x,y,z and you agree to indemnify blah blah we love money"

    Amazon is about to hit $1000 / share

    Give Best Buy a lot of credit for surviving in this "new World"- they were supposed to be Amazon'd by now. Still think it's only a matter of time for Barnes and Noble (sadly)..

    Startup #4: Helpify - Amazon Help Desk Software For Sellers

    EXECUTION 
    Lol I totally get it, working from home all day can get old fast- I'll be in Vegas early June, bought a rental property there w/ a nightmare tenant and working on an eviction.. If you're around we should meetup and you can pick my brain on our current support solutions/need for improvements...

    Startup #4: Helpify - Amazon Help Desk Software For Sellers

    EXECUTION 
    Lol I wouldn't have the restraint to live on the strip and be productive so good on you. That's correct- w/ Zen we are importing all Amazon communications- one of the benefits is that the auto-responder acts as your response/first communication, so you don't hurt your reply timing metrics. In...

    Fear and Action-Faking in Entrepreneurship-- a 19 year old's guide to askholing.

    NOTABLE! 
    You can't help but appreciate the honesty in the thread lol May I suggest weekly updates..? As much as it feels good to post that you did "something" every day- if you don't move the ball 1 day because of "x", no big deal. But taking the time to post about the # of bowel movements you've had...

    Startup #4: Helpify - Amazon Help Desk Software For Sellers

    EXECUTION 
    At first blush, interface looks really slick For our support we're currently running zendesk- tickets from our own site and all marketplaces filter thru and we have the Auto-responders/templates setup here. Wonder how the site/support can be extended to offer answers to tickets/support? I...

    Establishing a Productocracy - PULLing rather than PUSHing

    NOTABLE! 
    +1 on selling commodities- selling books, you're almost completely dependent on price- literally no points of differentiation on the product itself (and not just any commodity, one that depreciates faster than your fancy new car). On Amazon, it's a race to the bottom on another level- you run...

    CANADIAN ENTREPRENEURS??

    PEOPLE 
    Can Post (like any other carrier) will also offer tiered volume discounts as you scale- in my first year of business, think I was paying something ~$10/book to ship within Ontario (ouch), now we're around ~$3.75-$4/ avg On a personal note, after being nominated 3 times for a Canada Post...

    About to shut down my 4 years restaurant business ...

    HOT! 
    As other posters have suggested- always important to evaluate your options and don't assume that closing up shop is the only way to go (it may be)- When I'd started my business, the first few years were literally hell. I was taking an $800 draw every month, that's it- imagine how my long-term...

    Difference between Amazon.com and Amazon.ca as a seller?

    This likely goes without saying- but if you're a US seller, make sure you're considering/managing the constantly changing FX rates (CDN $ currently trades at ~30% discount to USD, so you're looking at ~30% increase in price to offset) Likewise, CDN sellers selling in the US benefit from a ~30%...
