mark754 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I'm not sure if this has been done before. Anyway, for those who have been running their own osc sites for at least a year, what is your monthly net profit from the site? Since everyone can answer anonymously, hopefully the answers will be honest! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 why would someone want this information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark754 Posted March 11, 2004 Author Share Posted March 11, 2004 Umm...maybe to get a feel for the level of success of others who are pursuing the same kind of business they are? This could be interesting and encouraging (or discouraging, as the case may be), don't you think? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardsandwars Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Unless you know what kind of business they are in, or how much they had to invest in advertising, I don't see how this is helpful. For example, we typically spend about $500-$700 per month on advertising. That's not going to give the same kind of results as a site that spends only $100, or a site that spends $40000 a month. It's all relative. That being said, I know of buisnesses from both ends of that spectrum that use OSCommerce, so some derivitive of it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit.

mark754 Posted March 11, 2004 Author Share Posted March 11, 2004 Yeah, I know a simple poll like this is limited in usefulness since there are so many variables. Too bad there isn't the ability to post more comprehensive questionnaires. Still, at a minimum, it might be interesting too see the feedback.

cgchris99 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I agree on the advertising...I have been slowly increasing my advertising budget and carefully watching for results. Chris Bradley, you should write a how to article. Every time I read your posts, I learn more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardsandwars Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Between my Database Programming career, running a small business, and tall of the OSC side work I get , I don't see how I'd ever have time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit.

mark754 Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 That would be a great idea. Someone should write a detailed guide on how to setup a great osc site (e.g. OSC for Dummies") with marketing advice, etc. I bet it would sell like crazy. You guys who are pulling in profit of $30k+ a month, care to mention what you're selling? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
