Hi everyone, I'd like to show everyone my new startup which I've just recently launched. Below is a little information about it, and i'll let the website tell you the rest. Any comments you have feel free to reply below. InfluxShopping.com. We provide online store owners a place to showcase their store on our marketplace/online high-street. We are trying to provide a centralised location for people to search for new online web stores, a twist on the current boring search engine methods and text link results, which can be only helpful for those with thousands to spend on SEO, to improve their search ranking. If you already have an online store setup and would like to display it on our 'marketplace', you can signup on our website. And once your site has been approved to display, a hyperlinked thumbnail of your store will appear within our 'Marketplace', where all our is targeted. When clicked, your store will appear (full size) to the users within our website, where they can continue as normal along with switch from one store to another easily. Your store will also be placed within it's corresponding category, this helps users to remove all un-related stores while searching. *NOTE: We are offering our 'Showcase Only' (displaying your store(s) on our site completely free for the next 3 months! Grand Opening Offer. If you have a store already, this means you can signup and display immediately for free. *NOTE: If you have not yet setup a store, we recommend using http://www.Shopify.com (or others). If you choose to setup with Shopify, use the 'Signup' links within our Plans page to be rewarded with our 'Showcase Only' service free for life. (We are setup with the Shopify Partner program, so using our links will notify you've signed up and we'll keep that on record to give you lifetime 'Showcase' service free). Thank you. The 'Marketplace': http://www.influxshopping.com/marketplace http://www.InfluxShopping.com
Thanks. Hopefully we can level the playing field (so to speak) to improve visability to small online store owners.
We're improving the sites servers as much as we can at the moment. Should load up at a reasonable speed right now, is it our site that's loading slow for you or the sites within our 'marketplace' page?
I like your topic and site. I also appreciate these type of work. I am happy that somebody showing and distributing his or her knowledge through online medium. This can help other people to grow rapidly and make money without any physical exercise. I like it
Quick pitch to those that may not understand the idea yet, though this new explanation was a little better to understand why use my site? The idea of my site is to display other peoples online eCommerce stores which can help the business to grow, having their store listed amongst others which will also drive traffic and overall have a centralised location for people to 'shop' online. For example: If your looking for 'Clothing' you could go to Google, but you'd get about 100,000,000 results and they won't all be about clothing, also if you go into one of the results from Google and click 20 times, you'd have to click 'Back' on your browser 21 times to get back to Google, on my site you can switch from one store to another in one click. Also filter out all stores that are un-related to what your searching for. Currently you just filter out the stores you don't want etc but, I hope to add in a search field in time.
Just wanted to see if I could get any more reviews from people on my site so far. It's going well for those that have signed up so far, hopeful for it. Thank you.
Social features were added to the footer of the site, it is not obvious where the grateful users may share info about your site. It would be more obvious to hav such buttons somewhere upper.
I just recently added a Google Search function to the marketplace which allows users to search for specific products amongst all of the stores listed with InfluxShopping! Much faster way to find products your interested in while staying with the InfluxShopping listed stores.
With over 120 stores added (some of which are due to be added to the site within the next few hours). The site is going strong. Some fantastic traffic so far, thanks again for everyones suggestions. We're looking for developers too if anyone would like to present a portfolio to me sometime, just remember though this is a bootstrapped startup however we're going strong so far and are open a massive market. Hopefully someone else see's my vision too. Jordan
It's nice to see snapshots of stores on directory homepage. It seems that you suggest shopify. Just open a blog for web store builder review including shopify review. http://www.shopstock.com Shopify is one of the good web store builders around the world.
