pajoin ako sa thread na to :)

my brother and i relaunched my online store... dati kasi hobby lang.. pero he wanted to make it big..

now almost one month na since we re-opened.. so far ok naman. since i have a full time job 2x a week lang kami naguupload.. wednesday and saturday or sunday..

nakakatuwa lang kasi ang dami na agad repeat at satisfied clients.. yun pinost ko nun saturday naubos na yun stocks kagabi :D:D:D

ang style pala namen hindi muna kami kumukuha ng tubo dun sa pinagbentahan. pinapaikot muna namen lahat para mabilis lumaki and mas marami maging choices ng products.

we give freebies din kapag
-yun binili more than 1k ang worth sa isang transaction
-naka 3 consecutive weeks ng bumibili samen yun client at nakaaccumulate na sya ng 1k total

@chicken yup you're absolutely right magsisimula pa lang naman ako so dun lang ako sa mga bank transfers hehe tsaka talagang malaking investments pag may mga cc payments na sa site..

@m0mish ako din di pa makapag-PM, same lang tayo ng status hehe.  Ang nare-replyan ko lang ay yung nagbibigay ng contact info sa kin thru PM.  Re: Domain Name, you can use your business name as the domain name. Re: Time Management, what I suggest is to outsource yung paggawa ng products mo.  You can pay someone on a per project basis (or piece rate, kung ano yung applicable), tapos ang agreement nyo, hindi mo babayaran pag hindi maayos yung gawa.  Subukan mo lang sa konti para hindi naman masayang yung materials kung hindi nila ayusin yung gawa nila.  Maganda din kasi na sa business mo, mare-replace mo yung sarili mo para eventually you can take a vacation whenever you want to.  O kaya habang may full time job ka pa, why not do buy and sell business muna?  Then pag kumikita ka na enough to work on your business full time, pwede mo na consider na ikaw na yung gagawa ng products.  Just my 2 cents ;)

Natry ko dun sa open cart kaso ayaw nya kasi may pinadownload tapos ayaw mag open dito sa laptop ko. Ganun din ba sa inyo mga sis? Gusto ko talaga mag karon na ng sariling website with inventory system para less hassle, lalo ngayon yung baby ko sobrang malikot na di na maiwan iwan kaya need ko talaga yun. Ang mamahal naman kasi kapag mag hire pa ng gagawa, kung pwede naman i-DIY yun nalang hanggat kaya ng powers ang pag gawa ng sarili.. hehe

Ako din. May full time job and may sideline na online shop. Medyo hirap lang talaga kase lahat ng rest days ko napupunta sa restocking ko.
Tapos yun nga ako lahat nagaasikaso... Tyagaan lang talaga.

@yanmae na-download and open ko naman yung OpenCart. By default, dapat mao-open mo sya kung Windows ang gamit mo.  Kung hindi mo ma-open, either corrupted yung file or wala kang pang-open ng zip files.  Kung corrupted, try mo i-download ulit pero sa ibang folder at rename mo yung file before mo i-download (.zip pa rin dapat ang extension name ng file).  Kung wala ka naman pang-open ng zip file, download and install ka muna ng WinRar.

sis momish, kung magstart ka pa lang po kahit wala muna yun own domain. additional cost lang kasi siya lalo na if at some point gusto mo muna magpahinga from selling online..

my brother and i use facebook lang to sell our items.. yun samen buy and sell lang din.. kaya same with sis x-y nauubos yun rest day sa pagrestock at pag source ng new suppliers.

regarding naman sa payment method, puro bank transfers kami nung first days tapos nagopen ako ng smart money account at gcash account then yun mga ibang buyers namen from different provinces they prefer yun mga pera padala (cebuana, western union, ML kwarta padala) so in-add na namen sya sa payment options. mas maraming payment options better for the clients..

if you will make your own products kahit one of each kind lang muna. take pictures tapos puro pre-order :) para di ka maipunan ng products..

I still think that when you are really serious on selling online, you should have your own website. We're doing if for more than 3 years already. Everything is automated with OpenCart. Once there is an order, there will be an email notification. Billing statements and payment instructions are automatically sent to the buyer. The stocks/inventory are also automatic. You can even see on the admin panel which stocks need to be re-ordered. It will save you a lot of time, time which you can use on marketing and other tasks to grow your business.

Regarding downloading of OpenCart, before you can run it on your laptop, you should have a local server (i.e. Xampp) installed.

Just reopened my online store again. This time serious na talaga ako kasi I have my store na talaga. Gusto ko ma increase sales ko kaya I re-opened my online store. Mahirap lang sa umpisa is marketing. Kelangan tiyaga talaga para makilala ang onlien store mo. I'm thinking about having my own website pero di ko pa masiyadong alam yun kaya research muna ko maige.

Thanks sis. Ako nga nagkasakit na kase laging nasa labas, nakikipagusap sa mga suppliers, etc. Kakaloka.

Nakakaloka yun ibang mga buyers. Haha. Nakita na ngang sayo na yun pinakamurang items from other online shops, babaratin ka pa ng discount. Haha! Binabaan ko na nga para sa akin kumuha mga online shops (ako na nagsusupply sa ibang onlineshops) tapos humihingi pa ng discount. Parang wala na akong itinubo sa kanila. Haha

Kung ako yan, di ko sila bebentahan kung alam kong wala naman silang makukuhang mas mababa pa sa presyo ko.  Nakakapagbenta ka naman sa ibang online shops so may customers ka pa din naman ;)

Hello mga sis, nagawa ko na yung first 2 videos ng tutorial ko on how to create your websites.  Hindi pa ayos yung mismong site kasi minadali ko lang.  Hopefully makatapos ulit ako ng isa pang video today.  Yung link nasa signature ko.

Pre-order? You simply post photos of the products which you don't have stocks yet. You should specify the cut-off date for your buyers to order. When you already gathered all the orders or after the cut-off date, then you order your stocks from your supplier and deliver it to your buyers.
