    New website at stand-still

    Hello, my name is Joel Baker. I am 17 years old and am the owner and president of TheDealBaker.com. I started a deal-a-day website selling electronics, fun gadgets, etc. Sales have been exceptional, but i want spectacular!!! Any advice on new suppliers, concepts, or anything else? My website is hosted by Yahoo! small business. Is this the right step for a website that is trying to grow?

    Any help is extremely APPRECIATED!!!!!

    Check out the competition. Namely, woot.com.

    Basically what woot does is buy up closeout products from companies that liquidate, as well as buy refurbished electronics. That is why they are able to offer such great deals on what they sell. They usually buy this in big lots from liquidation companies and wholesalers.

    You may check the wholesale section on eBay.com to forge a relationship with a seller there. You may also want to check Alibaba.com to find some great suppliers as well.

    ^You can offer free review of new products. And Try also promote it to other classified sites.

    Joel,

    The layout of the website is good, however it lacks two things,
    1. Content
    2. Easy to Navigate

    For content, there is only like 7 products available to purchase, your customers must be looking for those items to buy from you.

    For easy to navigate, I don't see anything to buy. There is nothing to browse, I recommend deleting the ads by google, and putting product categories in place of it. Such as Electronics, Adapters, Batteries, Cameras, etc. Could even add how many products are in that category Electronics (42).

    Once those two are done, your website will take off and you will make a killing. Also make sure you are in HTTPS to be safe and secure or else nobody will buy from you.

    Man make a section for the Mystery Box that has a small poll.

    Is this for Secret Santa YES NO
    (some call that Chinese Christmas, or just gift exchange)

    What age group is it for?
    1-5 6-10 11-15 16-18 18+

    What level of excitement does your family get to
    Professional Boring Fun Perverted OH GAWD

    What is the dollar limit
    $0-10 $10-20 $20-40 $40-60 $60-100

    Man, to say that this last christmas with the girlfriend was not ridiculous would be an understatement. If I coulda got a box and have no idea what I have contributed to this exchange. It would be a surprise for everyone. Maybe an idea.
