Not boasting.. but I am

i dont know whats going on but ive taken around $1000 in just over 9 hours.

is the world coming to an end? Do my products cure cancer?

[Miop]

Dunno but gimme some.
My orders have virtually dried up - most from the US now.
Mind you my market trade is poor too.

Lucky for you, most of my orders seem to have dried up also. My market is in the US, I'm hoping it'll pick up soon. Well, it better....

[derekwong28]

Ours have dried up as well. It could just be that our products are getting out of fashion. Perhaps it is time to source new products....

Where's this Christmas/Holdiay Rush I keep hearing about? I am new to ecommerce and one week things are pretty good and the next nothing.

My market is perfect for this time of year. When will things pickup? Will it every stay consistant enough to make a living from it?

Over the past 4 years I've seen the rush. In the US it starts right after Thanksgiving and goes until the 18th to 20th depending on what day christmas falls on.

Make sure you're at the top of the SERPS, and you've got stuff in stock.

On another note.

I've noticed new sites never get going until their first christmas. Sure you can have sales, but nothing like the christmas season to take you to the next level...
