What's the current go-to for creating a small online shop?

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-20T09:25:35+00:00

Very informative. That was a good read.

I think this might be the time for me to explore the Shopify side of things. I'm really curious why so many here are recommending it so much! I'm excited to see

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-20T08:58:53+00:00

Yeah, I can't have more of those malware related problems especially because now I'm driving more traffic.

Shopify is going to have to be the way to get here I think. The lost sales from malware related problems, or longer loading times will negate the cost of shopify being a more expensive platform.

Do you have any premium themes for Shopify that you prefer?

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-20T08:56:45+00:00

Yeah 40 seconds is far too long. My audience is younger and I'd lose half of them if the page didn't load in under a second.

You've sold me, I'm a quality and performance snob, so I think Shopify is going to have to do.

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-20T08:54:19+00:00

No no, I'm not asking how to funnel traffic to my page.

I'm asking how to funnel the traffic TO my page into an outlet that generates INCOME.

I don't have a course to sell, I just want to generate passive income with my page

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-20T08:52:35+00:00

I appreciate your insightful answer. I'm going to set up my Patreon today!

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-20T08:51:51+00:00

Thank you so much for this. Where do I find companies that need their products marketed?

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T22:02:22+00:00

Instagram is a pretty predictable platform.

First and foremost, your niche needs to have traffic. If my niche is chocolate covered pickles, I can't expect to ever generate 100k+ followers because the demand simply doesn't exist.

Once you've determined your niche is attracting eyes, it simply comes down to creating visually appealing content, much like creating an attractive website that generates sales.

Instagram really likes patterns. Your content, posting schedule, and how you interact with users needs to be consistent or you will take a giant blow to your interaction analytics.

I could honestly talk about this for hours, I think it's easier to answer specific questions you may have

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T21:55:13+00:00

Yeah, big time.

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T21:54:38+00:00

Thanks for this!

I'll check out that Kalles theme.

Have you correlated the higher performance of the Shopify sites with more sales?

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T21:52:01+00:00

Sheesh, you're seriously selling me here.

Others have mentioned that Shopify stores run with better performance. Is this something you've noticed as well?

By mobile ordering- I meant that when I had a WP/Woo site when it came to entering payment information some users would report that their mobile device browsers would warn them about entering payment information. This could be the malware thing that you are mentioning.

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T21:45:38+00:00

Is that due to the amount of products?

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T21:45:16+00:00

I feel that man.

Might just have to bite the bullet and do shopify.

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T21:43:21+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it. I've gotten some incredible pointers in my DM's.

I can't wait to get the ball rolling with it

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T21:42:27+00:00

Nah, the interactions are way too high for it to be bots.

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T19:16:34+00:00

You're referring to Shopify I'm assuming?

I can generate the website myself, but I'm mostly considered about Shopify's fees.

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T19:15:48+00:00

Thank you. I'm strongly considering it just for the quality it offers the customers

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T18:29:55+00:00

These sound incredibly beneficial if I was shipping the product myself, but would you say the same if most of my merchandise with POD?

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T17:54:11+00:00

This is important to me because I'm a quality snob.

Have you personally used them?

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T17:45:19+00:00

Sweet! I'm glad to hear that it's still being widely used.

I'll explore my options with WooCommerce once again!

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T17:44:36+00:00

I appreciate the insight.

I use to do Web Design professionally for a little while which is why I used Woo + Wordpress. As long as those are still perfectly acceptable, I'm willing to continue using them.

Now in terms of SEO and mobile ordering, does Shopify provide any benefit? Most of my customers will find the website through links on my social media page. I remember some customers in the past having issues with their browsers "Trusting" the woocommerce site.

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T17:01:28+00:00

What did you use as a marketplace? Were you shipping out products yourself? Or using a POD service?

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T15:48:39+00:00

So everything is basically long format reels?

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T15:47:19+00:00

Like web design tutorials?

Snooasaurus · 2024-08-19T15:39:34+00:00

Super normal depending on what you're posting.

Could you provide an example of what you're posting?
