Answer 1

I see you have a special section for African Americans, why no special section for white Americans. Are you racist towards white people?

Answer 2

In my opinion, most of what you are selling on line is old and tired. There just isn't enough consumers out there and what there is, most generally know what they are looking for and where to find it.

Having said that, just because you have a nice website doesn't mean buyers will come. You have to give them a reason and you have to be doing other things on and off line to generate significance traffic. For example, most of your items can be found at flea markets, yard sales, trade shows, ebay, etc., etc. If you are working this aspect, then when someone buys from you in person, you have to steer them to your website for future sales.

Speaking of your website. I would consider obtaining a suitable domain name, then forwarding the traffic to your shopping page. It looks less like an affiliate site which turns some people off.


As far as ebay and livedeal are concerned, you are competing against 100s of other people. I would suggest you find an item or two that does well on these sites and specialize. Offer free shipping or even take a loss just to get them to your website for back end sales. When someone buys you have to promote your website so that they automatically go to "Pam's fantastic finds" first.

There are many great money making programs out there. But, they all need one thing. That is... Traffic to their website. No traffic, no sales.
I am building a site with a company that gives you everything plus more to help you build your site. They show you step by step how to build a site the right way. A site that is built correctly will attract traffic. You can use this site or the methods to direct traffic to your current sites.
Check out my site and check out the link at the bottom of my home page. Explore the company completely. There is even a section for Stay At Home Parents. They are THE BEST in the business and they have actual PROOF. Hundrerds of people who use their service are in the top 1% of all web pages on the internet in their topics. Wouldn't it be nice to have that kind of traffic to your store? http://Who-Really-Wants-A-Job-Anyway.com

Answer 4

You coin banks are cute.

This may sound old but try eBay even if you sell at the same price people think their getting bargains through eBay.

Other then that you need link from other people, offer some incentive for having your page linked to others.

Answer 5

try selling on Ebay or Ebay half com.be honest about your items and if theres wear or tear onthe item let the buyers aware of it nothing more upsetting when you buy an item that says almost new and pages or buttons are missing Good luck

Answer 6

Have you designed a pop up advertisement which when clicked on will take people straight to your website? Try to set it up so that the people redirected to your site, can't leave until they buy something.
