Using BigCommerce To Sell Products Online

If you’re planning to sell product online, you’ve probably already stumbled across solutions like Yahoo Stores (Yahoo Small Business), Volusion, 1ShoppingCart and others. BigCommerce hoever is a cut above the rest.

At our review of Big Commerce by InterSpire site we list our honest review of BigCommerce, other shopping carts, and how to sell your products online.

Some important reasons you want to consider:

1) Minimum hassle when starting your own ecommerce store

With BigCommerce’s user interface, you will have no problem setting up your account, uploading product images and start selling online. PayPal, 2CheckOut and other payment systems are supported in BigCommerce.

You can either get your own domain name (which is great for branding) or get an account as a subdomain to bigcommerce.com – for eample “mystore.bigcommerce.com”.

2) Customize and control your store design

BigCommerce includes 40 or more templates you can use yourself. I love the user interface for creating and editing themes.

You can read our comparisons and see the differences for yourself

1) 1ShoppingCart vs BigCommerce
2) Yahoo Small Business vs Big Commerce
3) Big Commerce Shopping Cart vs Volusion

You can easily drag and drop elements in and out of your store design. Also you can easily edit CSS (style sheet) of the themes.

3) Stats and insights to your business

It’s annoying to admit the fact that while we have FaceBook and Twitter, the basic shopping cart software you’ll find in most places is seriously lacking in statistical tools and cool “web 2.0″ stuff that we’ve all come to love.

BigResponse gives you complete statistical analysis control – which means that you can get any information you ned about customers, sales, and products. For example, you can see the best selling items, the top customers, and even the geographical location of order using Google Maps.

You will always have access to your latest performance stats. In the long run, sales and customer retention rate will improve.

Besides the above, BigCommerce is also fully SEO-enabled, which means that your entire store will be search engine friendly. Google will send you free traffic, helping you to make more sales.

With the correct auto responder software, the sky is the limit as far as your online sales is concerned.

Are You Dyslexic?

Dyslexia was virtually unknown, unrecognized and certainly not understood up until about 25 years ago. Almost all that we know about it has been learned fairly recently.

Dyslexics see things differently. Their eyes are the same as those of non-dyslexics, but their brains interpret the signals differently. Because of this they learn differently and need to be taught in the way they learn, not in the traditional mold.

For roughly the last 15 years, as part of a program to help in overcoming dyslexia, school-age kids have all been screened for signs of dyslexia in children. Those identified as “probables” went through a full-blown test for dyslexia. Those dyslexics thus identified were subsequently taught according to the way they needed to be taught.

Before about 15 years ago, dyslexics were lumped in with the rest of the students and had to take their chances. Most were treated badly by the educational system, called lazy, slow learners, underachievers. They were made to feel ashamed of and embarrassed by their differences and learned to conceal them.

Millions of adult dyslexics today have never taken a dyslexia test. They still struggle with learning and reading difficulties that could be easily overcome if they were only known. A half-hour dyslexia test could make enormous improvements in their self-esteem and abilities.

One of the problems in helping dyslexics is that there are many different types of dyslexia. Dyslexia takes many different forms; all dyslexics are different. They cannot be readily sorted into categories and then treated the same as a group.

Testing for dyslexia, especially in adults, is extremely important. Testing is the only way the numerous (in the millions) of adult dyslexics can be identified and helped. Without knowing, without the training they need, it’s probable that they can never reach their full potentials. A simple dyslexia test could set them free, dramatically improve their lives.
