    Pricing High or Low when Launching

    I'm getting ready to launch and I've now started to get some doubts over my pricing strategy. The products I sell are branded items already on sale from other sellers. To keep fulfilment costs down (per unit) and encourage customers to buy more than one item at a time, I've been planning on...

    Paralysed by Fear and Doubt - New Business Launch

    MINDSET

    I live in a small town with a high street full of small mom & pop shops. The lack of big name businesses has given the town an increasingly unique feel in a world of large corporate stores and cookie-cutter high streets that have become indistinguishable. Everyone I know says it gives the town...

    Great Example of the Dangers of the Script

    MINDSET 
    I stumbled across this article about IBM's changing HR policy and it immediately made me think of the Script: Cutting ‘Old Heads’ at IBM It's a good, but very long article so I'll summarise the main points here. For years, IBM had a very vocal policy of praising the importance of their staff...

    Goal Setting Journals - Recommendations

    Over the years, I’ve seen a few different types of goal setting journals, but never actually bought one as I wasn’t convinced of their value.

    Selling on Amazon (attempt 24) and another eCommerce idea

    IDEA 
    I’ve been thinking about putting together a progress thread for a few weeks, but having drifted very slowly from task to task, I think some form of public accountability could be useful in getting my backside into gear.

    New Website: Difference between 'Me Too' and having a USP

    When does a new online store move from being another 'me too' website selling branded products into something with a USP and hence worth persuing as a business. In my mind, I would have said it came down to adding VALUE. For example: Product photos - more and better quality than the...

    Ecommerce Question about entering a new market

    I think I’ve spotted a market where the majority of websites look horrible and I’m confident I could do a much better job, but this niche is something I have no idea about.
