    You possibly could have but if you're happy with the design and it's a one off cost then I don't think that's too bad. Much better than paying a lot for something that didn't come out so great. Yes, we have an email list of around 20,000 now and for most products we do a launch email. For...

    We do the product development ourselves. We work with a number of different factories and some are better than others. We have a really good relationship with the factory that supplies the largest percentage of our SKUs and they are really responsive when it comes to changes. They'll even make...

    Will you take the COVID19 vaccine?

    HOT! 
    I won't be risking my families health with a vaccine until I can make an informed decision based on scientific research but I'll take it once I believe the risks are minimal enough to do so. But I also won't be taking unnecessary risks regarding a virus that we know nothing about the long term...

    Not anything that's easily achievable. International shipping is quite slow (painfully so with covid) and reasonably expensive which is a major barrier. Our customers are businesses that need their products to arrive promptly so it's tough. The only way I could see our business taking a strong...

    Sure. All of our current marketing efforts are online... The majority of new customers come from search (both paid and SEO). We invest pretty heavily in adwords (around 15-20k per month) and also run paid facebook ads (around 1k to 2k per month). We see a much larger return on adwords as it...

    Thanks. That's great to hear. If you're doing 4 figures already then 5 is easily achievable. Do you have a progress thread? EDIT: Regarding our number of SKUs... a large percentage of those are variants of about 10 different products. Our actual product count is only around 130 at the moment...

    May as well provide a quick update while I'm here... Sales this year have continued to be impacted by C0VlD-19 with many of our customers forced to close their doors. During June and July while businesses throughout the country were operating as normal we had our 2 biggest months ever and...

    Very good question. It depends on a few different factors. For instance... - How many products you stock - What the lead time and shipping times are for each product - Whether or not your business is based on repeat buyers (being out of stock will be seen as an inconvenience that may cause a...

    If you had $10m in the bank what would you do every day?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I wouldn't change a lot. Just reduce the number of hours I work on my own business (I only work 30hrs a week anyway) and take an extra day off each week to brew beer/go hiking in nature/read more etc. As a family we'd travel interstate/overseas a little more often.

    Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier. I still lurk here a bit but posts are infrequent and I unfortunately miss things. Did you end up getting laid off? You were right to avoid signing up. BS scarcity tactics like that definitely should be a red flag to anyone. So many "guru's" have never built...

    What is the best project management tool?

    MINDSET 
    If you're into ridiculous levels of customisation and find that some of the other offerings don't have what you need then check out Clickup. I switched to it from Trello late last year and have really enjoyed it. It's probably overkill for my level of use which is individual rather than a team...

    Buy a float tank. Change your life.

    NOTABLE! 
    I've tried it twice and still unsure. I really wanted to like it. I meditate frequently and find it quite easy to calm my mind, however in the tank I just couldn't seem to relax and go with it. Probably need to try again.

    big fish aquarium

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This is a hobby I'm looking at getting back into, although on a pretty small scale. We're getting a tank built into the wall of our new home but it will only be around 215ltrs (50gal). Thinking I'll probably do a Cichlid tank.

    While we're definitely not an essential service we're an online only retailer so still permitted to operate as usual with the necessary precautions. We use the national postal service for deliveries. They're experiencing some delays but most orders we send are still arriving within a few days...

    Just thought I'd do a quick update for anyone who's interested in how the current situation is impacting the business. Basically all of our customers (we're B2B) businesses should be closed with very few exceptions so I expected revenue to drop dramatically but at the moment we're only down...
