I used to do that but they made it harder and more expensive. I dont want to do that type of business again.

If I would do another it would be my own products id make but have no real budget for marketing etc plus its rare for one to take off big. No I cant make a return with that one and wouldnt really want to. it was a buying selling store. I just dont have the storage space for a tonne of stock anymore. The markets are all different. Buyer habits are different. Cost of running is a lot higher etc. Sources are drying up.dont want to have to hoard a load of stock anymore it affects your mental health a lot.

I just dont know how to pronounce it correctly or what it means. What sort of brand image it has. Now im most likely not a targeted group so doesnt mean its a bad thing. Your target audience may get it straight away who knows but youl need to do surveys and get feedback which is another can of worms.

What problem is coca cola solving? in c/entrepreneur@indiehackers.space

Yes it creates and solves an addiction. Sugar caffeine etc I hate drinking it because it is addictive but gives me a short happy buzz.

Need some serious advice please. Ok so my 15 year+ e commerce business came to an end basically the lockdowns cost of living brexit etc and other things made it no longer a worth while income. Over the past year I have been trying to desperately get a job here in UK with my CS degree with no luck at all and have went full time in my soul destroying retail job. I have a child now and rent but we can barely afford anything extra like pensions good food etc. Since Ive had no luck getting a job ive thought about starting a new business because realistically it could be the only way to make a lot or even just more money. I would rather have a better job for stability etc but the market sucks big time. Trouble is i cant think of anything I would like to do and feel mentally drained just thinking about it and how much everything sucks right now. I was thinking of doing a computer developer business but everyone is trying to do that and overseas work for buttons plus it will be hard to get work done on time for clients with my ft job and baby etc. I was considering "inventing" making and selling my own product but marketing is expensive. I just feel like all ways to make money legally suck right now. I would love to buy a brand new gtr though and retail will never allow that. What do yall advise please?

Is it targeted traffic? Is it bots? Something could be putting customers off but 1 sale in 100 views isnt that bad so maybe you havent had enough customers. Personally without seeing anything the name is not appealing to me. It could be website pricing branding imaging and only way to find out is to do a test audience for feedback.

Web developers that often build websites for more than $5,000 a piece, what does your business look like? in c/entrepreneur@indiehackers.space
[–] 2huskys@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Still doesnt really answer the question who and why someone would pay 5k for a basic 5 page wesbite. Only thing i can think of is they are naieve. It doesnt matter if its WP most websites are word press and the client doesnt know anythig technical. The result is still gonna be the same which is a 5 page basic website service, granted designs can look better but im certain there are people that charge less than half the price for something the same quality.

How do you get people to pay so much for such basic websites? I have dabbled in going freelance/own business here in UK years ago but the ultra competiteveness lowball offers on fiverr upwork etc made it near impossible or I would feel like im ripping someone for those prices. Instead I ran an ecommerce business for 10 years but have to shut down. Im having no luck with a job but strongly thinking of starting a developer/business business.

You can only focus on one thing at a time
