    HOT! MARKETING 
    Thanks for that info and I'll definitely look into that ratio for the blogs I'm adding to my site. However, I don't think I was clear in my question. I want people to link to my product listing for "blue widgets" on a Shopify store. I'm not trying to get backlinks to a blog. From what you've...

    HOT! MARKETING 
    From my basic knowledge of SEO, I understand that backlinks are important, but I find getting these can be quite hard. If I'm in the market for selling widgets and notice that blue widgets are going to be the next best thing so want to be top of the rankings. However, Googling "Blue Widgets"...

    Great, thanks. I'll put my efforts into producing some new content to link to. Do you have any tips on: how to find sites that will give backlinks? how to approach those sites and ask for the link?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    What advice would you suggest in the following situation? I’ve launched a new store into a reasonably new market reselling other brands products. For the sake of this example, let’s say it’s vegan products and I sell a range of dairy alternatives from a mix of new and established brands. I’m...

    Moonlighters, working your business in the evenings/weekends - what drives you?

    MINDSET 
    I set an alarm for 4am and get out of bed without hitting snooze. Once I'm up, it's easy to make myself work as I've already gone through the "painful" part of getting up. Making sure I go to bed early enough is key and has taken a lot of practice to change old habit. I used to go to bed...

    After Upgrade...

    @MJ DeMarco I don't know if this is linked to the upgrade, but I can't find any of my thread bookmarks. I can add and delete new ones, but the old ones have vanished.

    Scrapping hobbies

    MINDSET 
    I understand your determination, but you need to have some downtime. It's impossible to run at 100% all the time, you just end up getting burnt out. Even Elon Musk plays computer games to relax and he's famous for working crazy hours.

    Pricing High or Low when Launching

    The product is commodified, but in a fast growing market and one that I want to get into for a number of reasons. Initially, I don’t have the capital or expertise to develop my own product, but I plan to learn the market and build a customer base selling other brands. Once I have the cash, I...

    Pricing High or Low when Launching

    I don't plan on trying to beat them on price. A price war is the last thing I want and a couple of soon to be competitors are currently screwing themselves over doing exactly that. Instead, I want to initially position myself differently through better marketing that focuses on meeting the...

    Pricing High or Low when Launching

    Mainly Google, hence I think I'll have to be similar to competitors.

    Pricing High or Low when Launching

    Not launched yet. Still waiting on fulfilment centre. I'm thinking go lower and be similar to competitors then increase price once I've got a customer base. That way it'll be easier to find and attract new customers.

    Pricing High or Low when Launching

    Ideally, I'd like to produce my own product and sell it, but the initial costs are too high. I thought the best way to generate some money would start off selling existing products and learning about the market which has the added benefit of giving me market knowledge. This should help in the...

    Pricing High or Low when Launching

    Thanks for the responses. Just to clarify, the products I'm selling are not my brands. They're other companies brands that I'm reselling, hence my doubts over the pricing. I don't want to get into a price war with competitors are end up in a race to the bottom on pricing. No one wins...
