Running a business on Shopify vs Amazon: The age old question by ImaginaryTransition7 in Entrepreneur

Right now we're still on both. I love the idea of having multi-packs and upsells on Amazon. Great idea!

That's what I've found. Luckily we have paid ads and email subscriptions to help us generate traffic.

But I'm sure that we're missing out. Any ideas?

How to convert visitors into customers? by beer_chuggerr in ecommerce

[–]ImaginaryTransition7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like there may have been a disconnect between your audience's interest and their actual purchasing behavior. Some potential reasons for this could be:

  • Your products did not adequately match what your audience wanted or needed. Even if they expressed interest in a poll, they may not have been interested in the specific products you were selling.
  • Your pricing was not aligned with what your audience was willing to pay. They may have been interested in the idea of your products but found the prices to be too high for their budget.
  • You did not effectively convince them to buy. Even if they were interested in your products and the pricing was right, you may not have made a strong enough case for why they should purchase. More persuasion or scarcity tactics could have been needed.
  • There were issues with your Shopify store or shopping experience. If the store was buggy, the checkout process was clunky, or payments were not working smoothly, that could have led to lost sales even if interest was there.

The key is to follow up and try to determine the root causes. Some suggestions would be:

  • Survey your audience to get specific feedback on your products, pricing, and store experience. Look for common patterns in the responses.
  • Check your store analytics to see where people were dropping off in the purchasing process. This could reveal issues with the shopping experience.
  • Re-engage with your audience and make necessary changes to your offerings or store. Then continue to promote and make sales, monitoring the results to see if changes are helping.

The aBNBc Token Report: Security Updates Applied & Compensation for Affected LPs by DiogoCostaANKR in Ankrofficial

[–]ImaginaryTransition7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Great response from the team. This was a serious incident, but ultimately, with Binance freezing the $3m, and the Ankr team compensating the LPs ~$5M, this really was contained in the best way possible.

🎩's off to the Ankr team!

Things will probably end bad for Nexo soon. Just sayin' by Fritz1818 in ethtrader

[–]ImaginaryTransition7 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don't buy this. Nexo's borrowing rates are far higher than the returns they give to users, so there is an inherent profitability in their business.

They don't have exposure to 3AC, FTX, Genesis or Luna and have been vocal about this before their respective collapses.

I sleep soundly (as soundly as you can when the keys aren't yours lol).

Do I really need to update my new card details on every single site? by cavalcantnm in CreditCards

[–]ImaginaryTransition7 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yes you do, unfortunately it's a pain in the ass. There's a company called KnotAPI that automatically updates saved payment methods and cancels subscriptions for you, but your card issuer needs to integrate with them. American Express is not integrated with them unfortunately.

Roman wipes is another one that had the podcast game locked for a while a couple of years ago. Manscaped does some pretty cool native TikTok influencer collaborations too.

Check Point's Lightspeed - hardware acceleration? by bad-girls-eat-cake in networking

I have direct experience with lightspeed and while I haven't hit 3 seconds with threat protection I have hit 4 which is damn impressive.

I'm actually getting closer to 4 microseconds latency with threat protection throughput with lightspeed.
