    Finally, a Business Idea Worth Pursuing!

    IDEA 
    I am very aware an idea is just an idea. I am actively working on making that idea a reality. Do people not post progress threads anymore? I do in fact know the market wants this because there is a similar service out there, but it lacks some key features that I plan to offer in my software...

    Finally, a Business Idea Worth Pursuing!

    IDEA 
    Well then, you are making a lot of assumptions about me based off of some silly things. Young Money - I've been a member here for 6 years, and I was a lot younger when I chose it. I chose it because I was a huge Drake fan back then (Young Money was his label back then). Also, nothing wrong...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    HOT! CHAT 
    You need to go watch the new South Park special: Into the Panderverse. Not only is it hilarious (as always), it is so relevant to what you just said. Basically all the white collar people become so reliant on their phones and chat-gpt that they can't do the most simple tasks themselves, so they...

    Hundreds In Ad Spend - ZERO Sales

    MARKETING 
    I've shut the website down for now, as I was paying $40/month for shopify on top of running ads and wasn't getting any sales. Well actually, I did get 1 sale and I was elated lol. I got an optician to put prescription lenses in according to the customer's prescription, I hand painted my logo...

    Finally, a Business Idea Worth Pursuing!

    IDEA 
    No more chasing the next "shiny object", I've found my next business idea that is innovative, and most importantly, it solves a problem. I was in a bit of a slump this Fall as the ecommerce store I had launched in the summer had failed, and even after getting feedback and tweaking the store, I...

    Thanks for the constructive critiques. And I take no offense in your bluntness haha I get it, it looks CHEAP!! $12 for a pair of prescription eyeglasses, seriously? That is unbelievably cheap, wow. Luxury eyewear could be a tough sell these days. Even my girlfriend's optical office she works...

    I would buy my glasses but that is because they appeal to me. Obviously I can't separate my bias though because I spent an afternoon on my roof with that beach blanket capturing different angles of my eyewear collection haha. I have shown friends and colleagues my eyewear and had them try them...

    Okay ya, now I really see what everyone's saying about my ads, they definitely do look cheap, especially with the discount right on the image. I wouldn't say I thought it was going to be easy, I already have first hand experience being burned from an amazon store, I know ecom is hard. My goal...

    Super helpful comment, thank you! I don't even mind that I'm getting yelled at lol. Regarding a super enticing first offer, I thought a good discount would achieve that. I see a lot of competitors offer Buy One Get One Free, but I went with a discount instead incase people just wanted one pair...

    I see. I started with 8 as that was the max I could budget for off the start, was going to introduce a second collection later. But I do agree that is doesn't look the best when you click MENS and it only shows 4 frames... As for the price, $67 includes blue-light lenses, it would be...

    Valid points, thank you. Ya, I think the discount on the ad itself does make it look cheap especially.

    I haven't tried tiktok ads yet, I thought it would be best to focus on doing one platform well first (facebook) and then expand to other ones as I grow. But I have thought about tiktok and reaching out to influencers; I would need product to send to them so not able to do that until I've made an...

    As an optometrist have you ever thought about creating your own eyeglasses line? Yes, I am aware of asian fit glasses, I don't offer that right now, but planned to in the future. Also planned on selling sunglasses as well... maybe I should have started with that. I've read all about Warby...

    Thanks for the detailed reply. I'll share more data with everyone. Brand: www.whitleyhopps.com I based my brand off the classic, vintage style of the Golden Age of Hollywood. I like the timeless aesthetic of that era, and I think a lot of people like retro/vintage things. I would be targeting...

    I may as well share my business, not too worried about someone copying a zero revenue business anyway lol. I'm selling Prescription and Non-Prescription Eyewear with a vintage look. I chose the eyewear business because my girlfriend has worked as an optician for 10+ years and knows that...

    Hey guys, I've been working on an ecommerce store for awhile and I finally launched it on shopify about a month ago. Well... it has not been going well, to put it mildly. I've spent hundreds of dollars on facebook ads and have not generated a single sale. Not one. I've tweaked the price...

    Welcome! Yes, its important to stay the course. Complacency is an enemy of mine too as well as procrastination. We can't let weeks go by without doing anything or those weeks quickly turn into years. Lets make 2023 our year!

    Is Donating 10% of Profits to Charity too much?

    I admit this is one of my concerns, especially if it ever came to the point where we wanted to sell the company. Having 10% of the profits allocated towards charity could lead to a lower valuation and a smaller liquidation for us? I don’t know, it could scare off potential buyers. I’m glad to...

    Fiverr is awful (my experience of outsourcing work using Fiverr)

    Here’s how my experience usually goes with Fiverr: Seller offers 3 Packages Basic $22 Standard $50 Premium $95 Based on my requirements for the task and the description the seller has for each package, I assume my service cost will be Basic. But they don’t let you proceed to pay, they always...
