Hi Jeremy,
I have a copy of your book with me and I refer to it often. Actually, I have 2 copies, which I got by virtue of Amazon delaying the first ordered one so much that I complained to them, and they mailed a second copy assuming the first one was lost. In the end, I received 2 copies, and when I contacted Amazon with that information, they asked me to keep both and not bother returning one, because it would not have been worth it due to the shipping charges.
Well about the book - I have found it quite useful, as I experience the trials and tribulations of a new online retail business. Thank you for writing this handy guide which is an easy read and thank you for sharing with the readers your first hand experiences on different aspects of the business. Your do's and don'ts are priceless words of wisdom.
I wish however, that there was more on photography for the website - you know, stuff like tricks for taking pictures, the light, the close-ups etc.
So now my website is up and running, and I think I have done most things right, but apparently not all, as I am not seeing much movement. I wish I could know what I should do now - what is wrong with it....are the pictures not right? Is it not attractive enough? Is it because people do not know it, or if they do, is it that they have no basis to trust it? I think my business plan, my idea and my motive were quite clear and I think my position as a foreigner located in China aiming to supply wholesale FWPs is quite unique.....then what am I missing?
I would gladly agree to making a case-study of my website to learn what is being done wrong and what is right.... I think that will be a valuable practical lesson for all as a logical follow-up of your book. And of course, it should give a boost to my business
, as we are shown how to make a web business successful by a pro!
Cheers,
