notes on different shops

 ecwid - kind of for pretending that you don't really dropship. it kind of creates a storefront away from the dropshipping source just so you look like your own artisan crafts guy.

mailchimp - for doing email marketing without having to face the customer or doing without the social skills. mailchimp sends automatic emails to all of them instead of individual emails to each one.

>kung ako lang yung mag-aaffiliate marketing kunwari, i think i would like to individually email the customers para lang magkakakilala na kami ng mga kawaii and bookish people, just so i get to know all the youtubers who took all my stuff (?) but aren't managing them properly and might just be keeping them all to themselves. and not for ganon p. for boring people.

if i use mailchimp, i can, say, batch email to all the employees of Teletech International (kasi they're kind of pro-Japan/pro-toys/pro-kawaii)

kung ako naman yung magddoor to door, i could do that in Nangka and kind of sign up email accounts for them individually.

actually, my minimum required income should be 10 USD per day. If I get 10% commission on all the products I sold, I could sell to 1 person only and get just about 10USD already, or sell to 10 people per day and get 10 times more (100 USD) in one day.

if I sell everyday for 25 days (all the working days in one month), i would have 25*100USD= 2500 USD or about 120,000 PHP in one month. magandang buhay na yan.

then for less stress effect, i would just work at my regular job for another 5KPHP (Easy Typing Job) extra spending money. :P in a month. :P

gusto niyo bang product yung piggy bank? i have kawaii piggy banks. :P
and print on demand piggy banks. :P

kung gagamit nga ako ng ecwid, i think i could use it for collecting random items from the dropshipping world.

kung bakit minsan i can't just use woocommerce or shopify, i really have to use ecwid as a middleman storefront

oh yeah,

i think ecwid doesn't have a delivery service. it just has storefront and order management features. it kind of just hides your dropship backstores.

okay,

kung ako nga gagamit ng ecwid, i want to have multiple backstores and not just 1. i want to collect weird items from different dropship suppliers na nga and kind of just dump them on ecwid.

the added google shopping feature is kind of just for publicity. (like, if the mayor is randomly thumbing through google shopping and just happens upon your shop, he must likely buy...but i think you should just know the mayor personally. :P and ask him to buy from you!)

mga target kong bentahan ng kawaii products:
teletech
alorica

bakit call center? kasi most of them are kind of bored with their job and kind of aren't developing their creative skills anymore. :P according to popular news media and my own observations.
isang produkto lang, voila! creative na sila. if only bumalik nga ng bumalik sila for more products talaga. :P

i won't sell to 360training kasi they're kind of like MBA people already. :P

teletech & alorica are kind of cutesy. pati Sitel and Telus. :P

[bookmarks mailchimp and saves it for later]

[i just only kept bookmarks of things i need and not really all the time boredpanda/9gag things. i kind of moved on kasi i have a job already. :P]

right now i'm looking for a gift shop. someplace where i can just sell custom stuff to my parents and other relatives. :P

How to go outside of yourself?

  1. Don't be selfish.
  2. Adopt the mindset that all people are the same, and all people are different. :P
  3. Find everything interesting.
  4. Listen to everyone's opinion.
  5. Don't take anything or anyone for granted.


Philippians 2:3 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,"
