    Which is the Best Ecommerce Platform for online businesses

    We use both Woocommerce and Shopify and Woocommerce has the benefit of the site around which it runs within has been styled exactly how we want it, it is Wordpress, and with the familiarity of Wordpress and designing with it, the site looks good and is functional too. Keeping up with updates to...

    Instagram - don't get the algorithm

    @fisicx totally... it is a place that will work for some and not others. @thetiger2015 has peers that seem to be doing well, but it does depend on his end goal and why he is there like you said. Social networks are daunting at first, I want to tackle Pinterest, but I know there would be months...

    Instagram - don't get the algorithm

    To a point, but not for the virality I think @thetiger2015 was getting at. The algorithm pushes content in front of more users when you hit a number of criteria o_O things like number of likes and comments within the first moments of posting etc... that is why Instagram "pods" exist (if they're...

    Instagram - don't get the algorithm

    We use Instagram lots but riding the algorithm is still a bit of a mystery to be fair, a key for us are the interactions, so we take it in turns in following and commenting on hashtags within our spheres, and we have our own brand related hashtag in order for others to request features, that...

    No clue what to charge..

    Making some inferences here, from the original post, if influencers are already pushing the products on social media platforms then, the said products aren't actually that niche and there is a method in use that is working. If those relationships already exist for these companies and they're...

    No clue what to charge..

    What I run isn’t a comparison site, so similar but different, our top advertisers are on rotation and we limit per category how many can pay for the rotation of the top spots. Every page load will generally show a different business. That is the only way around that and only way to sell it to...

    No clue what to charge..

    Similar but different, we charge a flat fee for rotations at the top of categories for our advertisers, but we also use social to share those same listings - using Facebook and Instagram and especially exploiting stories as they’re so easy and transient… yet take up no feed space to gain...

    No clue what to charge..

    I'm guessing you don't want to reveal, but if there is nobody exploiting this already for comparisons, is it because there isn't too much differentiation between companies, similar prices, services/products, and as such there isn't too much to compare.? Also, if I am getting the wrong end of...

    The post is sweeping, it’s running well for my business partner who is some years in to using Shopify within their main business, and in our joint concern we’re about to launch a Shopify site and no major issues are looking to be on the cards. What failings are you thinking of specifically? Some...

    wordpress woocommerce or shopify for Ecommerce

    I've used basic Shopify in the past and it was faultless for my needs, it just did its job very well... costs can spiral if you need further integrations though. If you wanted to add some functionality that in Wordpress may be free, then in Shopify, you may find that the same can only be...

    Launching a multi-vendor ecommerce website.

    Avoid YoKart! I spent February to early May working with them, their site looks to be spangly and promises lots, their product is filled, and I mean filled with bugs, they left us out of pocket - they refused to refund. A refund was eventually gained, but they tried to barter with us to remove a...
