If you don't mind, could you give me a little insight into why you think the business failed? I would really value your input. FYI, I am a graphic designer,if you ever need any...

    Hi Thottleforward, I came across your valuecrate thread while researching the business model. I actually think was a brilliant idea. I've even considered bringing the concept to my city. I'm really inspired by waste reduction, or anything that helps us to be more conscious of the world we are...

    I built a 2-figure eCommerce business, AmA!

    EXECUTION 
    I had a very similar experience with my shopify shop, only I never heard the "cha-ching" sound. Never even got an email sign-up. Looking back, its funny how you picture things going and how they actually go. As MJ has previously stated, businesses that do not fulfill an actual need are nothing...

    How I Generated Over $1,000,000 In just 2 Months This Year Dropshipping With Shopify

    @Beast Of Ecom Thank you for the thread. I just launched an ecomm brand a couple of weeks ago. My store currently only has 5 products available which is not a good look. I'm considering dropshipping to pad my store a bit. Of course the shipping time is the main concern. Do you just disclose in...

    Paid Virtual Phone Service vs 2nd Cell Line

    I use Go Daddy Smartline. $4 per month for a basic plan. Its a liitle more professional than Google Voice. Easy to tell which calls are to the business number. You can set business hours. It transcribes voice messages. So far so good.

    What I would do if I started today... And Why...

    AMA 
    Very inspiring. I can't help but think of Shark Tank and how the deals go left after the guests mention they have little to no sales. Your insight however does make me want to ramp up much faster after I have a few sales and a decent suscriber list. Thank you.

    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION CHAT 
    I resisted the bluetooth earpiece for a decade because I didn't want to look like a Star Wars character. Now that I'm cycling 100 miles per week I needed a way to take calls while on my bike. This is the best device I've ever purchased. I can listen to music and screen calls since it audiables...

    I'm a 7 figure eCommerce Seller and Here's My 2 Cents

    HOT! 
    Just the simple fact that people hate gift shopping. A nicely packaged bundle of complimentary gifts that's below retail or maybe right at retail. Packaged with perhaps supplementary info-material, delivered directly to the recipient. Then build a brand round it while finding ways to drive down...

    Hey! Appreciate the info. What are your thoughts on non-subscription giftbox bundling? Not particularly in a certain niche but general gift boxes with a purpose ie baby shower giftbox, wedding, birthday etc. Thanks!

    Like everything it depends on how much you want to spend. I used powtoons which has a free version but there are better explainer video services out there. There are freelancers on fiverr that do really good work but can run you $250- $500. I paid under $20 for the one below which included the...

    INTRO 
    First things first, write the CENTS commandments on your office wall. Don't be like me and waste months, years, thousands of dollars just to create a dead end job with no real impact.
