I very recently launched an ecommerce site[1] selling shoe shine kits of all things. We just launched a few weeks ago but are already making money. It was a nice feeling to be able to pay myself yesterday, even if it was only $500!

- derptacos 12y agoOff-topic, but you should contact massdrop.com these are the kinds of products that may really interest massdrop's customers!
- jamesgagan 12y agothanks - i will check it out.
- prakster 12y agoWhat is Massdrop? Website doesn't say much.
- prakster 12y agoOh, I see. Aggregates consumer demand for a given product and negotiates a discount for it.
- svmegatron 12y agoNice! I see you're on Shopify - I started a fraud prevention app that's great for Shopify stores. Would you be willing to try the free trial? I'd love to hear what a fellow HNer thinks of it. Link is https://www.merchantprotector.net https://www.merchantprotector.net
- jamesgagan 12y agocool - i'll take a look at it.
- grakic 12y agoWhat is your current best strategy to acquire customers? Are you doing any social marketing, is it mostly organic search or paid search placements?
- jamesgagan 12y agosocial marketing (twitter, blogging, facebook page etc), adwords, reddit ads. starting to see a trickle of organic search traffic.
- tomblomfield 12y agoLooks really cool. Why are your prices defaulting to Canadian dollars? I imagine it's pretty off-putting to the (much larger) US market just south of your border.
- jamesgagan 12y agoI agree that the CAD pricing may be a deterrent to US customers - still deciding on that one, but will probably change it to USD to see if conversions improve.
