eCommerce Blog #4 - Product Descriptions

To be able to sell your product in the eCommerce business, an interesting and effective product description can be very helpful. Here are some tips I found in this Shopify article by    Henneke Duistermaat :  https://www.shopify.ca/blog/8211159-9-simple-ways-to-write-product-descriptions-that-sell The first tip is to focus on the ideal buyer. Think about their interests, sense of humor, and what words they like or hate. Use the word "you" as if you're having a conversation with your buyer. Try to incorporate hypothetical face-to-face dialogue in your product description. Another tip is to avoid mundane and overused phrases such as "excellent product quality." These are called (by the author) "yeah, yeah" phrases, because people will see those phrases and think "yeah, yeah everyone says that." Saying "yeah, yeah" phrases can deter potential buyers and make your product seem bland. Instead, describe details and their given benefit...

Article post #3 - Amazon Ad Attribution

Here are some tips I found about using Amazon Ad Attribution from this article:  https://www.practicalecommerce.com/using-amazon-ad-attribution-to-track-offsite-campaigns Amazon attribution measures purchases, sales, and page views. You can create tags, publish them, and copy the URL to use in advertisement. This will make your advertising reliable. There is also a reporting dashboard that is very user friendly. The dashboard lets you choose metrics that are important, and provides graphical analysis.                                                                                             -Noah Best

20% Time Blog Post #1 - Balisong

So far in my journey of becoming an advanced balisong flipper, I've mastered many intermediate moves. I have also learned some advanced moves, but I still have to get more consistent. My main question is how long I will take to learn these advanced moves, because it can take a very long time to get consistent and comfortable. One challenge I've encountered is in the balisong itself. One of the pivots likes to unscrew when I drop it and it makes the handles very loose. It is a $90 trainer and I'm hoping to buy my first live blade for $220 very soon. That might also increase my skill. My first goal is to learn the twirl ladder, a move suggested to me by a friend who is an advanced flipper.

eCommerce Blog #2

Here are some things I learned about things to sell when starting a DIY business from this article  https://www.shopify.ca/blog/things-to-make-and-sell  T-Shirts and Printed Merchandise: This is for people who don't have the time or money to make the physical product themselves. Design your product/logo and have it printed onto various items. Handcrafted goods: Wood, leather, and pottery are all good examples of things that people want to buy. These products are one of a kind and can't be found from big companies. You will sell more products as you get better at making them. -Noah Best
