And yesyerday i made some temporary banners on the store site about diff products i sell. They arent the best banners in the world but they will do for now, until i get the professional flash one done by my buddy.

And today i have been working on more Twitter stuff, posts/followers/links etc.. Hoping all these diff things im doing will get more people to vist my store as well as buy something.

As of late its been really slow, well it has been slow all along since starting.  My top seller is still the C.crane Pillow speaker, i have no idea why its so popular i get 4-8 orders a week of them and i got lke 15 this past weekend. its nuts.

But ive heard it takes 3-4 months for all the search engines/seo/etc to find the site and get it out there.  So i just hope it works as ive put alot of work on it, and id like it to not fail.

should get more featured items out on here soon, once i find something to feature.

THanks

So update your rss feeds, and everything else.

We have moved from http://www.littleatonblog.com to http://blog.littleaton.com

Thanks all.

Its was about an Order Management software that we use to process all the orders at Littleaton.com.

This is what was said about us in the article:

BigCommerce customer and business owner Aaron Eaton of online electronics supplier littleaton.com has already begun incorporating the Stone Edge Order Manager into his management system: “I use Stone Edge for my BigCommerce store to sync up and pull my orders, and then send them out to suppliers,” said Eaton.  ”I love it because it keeps orders and items organized, and keeps me on the right track to success. It’s amazing!”

Well we launched our new site about 3 weeks ago, been slow going but its going well.  SEO is always a work in progress, as is getting people to your site with other advertising methods.

This next week we will be launching some new advertising campaigns, that should help bring in more people, and I’m hoping for some more orders.

I’m also working on some DYI SEO, i found this great site/service for a company here in Utah, that i have done business with in the past.  So ive been working on that a few times a week, and will report back as soon as i start seeing some results.  Ill let you all know what im using and how it can help your company grow on the interweb.

Lastly once we get going, we will start offering deals,coupons and also getting our newsletter rolling out. So that should help as well.

But thats all for this post, keep checking back and feel free to check out our weekly new products.

The past couple weeks/months i have been continually working on my new ecommerce store site, and getting it all set to go live.

There has been many bumps in the road but i think I’m just about there.  All i have left are finishing up my keywords/search terms for some products, finish setting up SSL, and getting prices all set for each product.

Then the next step ill be going throw and testing orders to make sure everything is set for that, once thats complete then ill turn everything on like my adwords campaings, and shopping engine accounts, and then let the orders come in.

Yesterday i setup the domain on all the search engines, and added the sitemap to all of them, so they can start digging their way through my site. Also added the google base xml file to my base account so i can be added into the froogle shopping engine.

Going out of town this weekend so i am working hard on getting this site all setup and launched so i can just work on orders from then on.

Feel free to visit the site and give me any feedback or comments on what you like, dont like, as well as what i could add/change to make things better.

So thats it for now, i shall keep everyone updated on our launch and once we get launched ill start posting deals/coupons, and more featured products.

Thanks

The Bigcommerce 5.6 update will be out and i will be able to launch my new store site. Once it hits ill update then work on getting all my 301 redirects going to their correct locations, finish off all the rest of the product meta tags, then do a bulk update on prices.

Once all those steps are complete ill do one look over of the full site and then launch, and just let the search engines start eating it up!

Here is a little comparison of the old site to the new site, there are some similarities but overall its a completely diff software and UI.

There is still some work on the new one template/style wise that i have to work on, but over all its done and ready to go live

Then the next project once thats live ill kill the amazon webstore and revamp it, i heard amazon has a new webstore setup in beta so maybe ill mess around with that.

So thats what to come this week, im pretty excited, hope all goes well

Have a good night all

Make sure you update all your rss feed readers, etc.

Thanks

feel free to Fan us, and visit our page!

Im mostly waiting for BigCommerce/Interspire to release their 5.6 Software update as it has some essential tools that i require before i can launch and go live. Supposedly to come out this week.

So while i wait, i get everything else setup and smoothed over enough that my store will be functional as its a ongoing process.

Once the new store is live, ill kill over the WebStore and revamp/perfect it and then launch it as a diff domain name.

So i look forward to this release, and get this launch going!

Till then talk to you all soon.

I’m going to move all my other domains over eventually as well but just wanted to move the blog over as a test to see if it was really any faster, and so far just loggin in to my blog and seeing how things work, its soo much faster!

I signed up for Simple Helix Web Hosting, they are double what i pay now for dreamhost but a billion times faster.

I think eventually ill sign up for their VPS services once i start making some money.

But that’s all for now, just enjoy the speed!

In the next couple months i’m going to be launching a new store, and i’m very excited for it.

Ive been working on it since the start of Feb, and its turning out pretty good so far.  I’ve modeled it off the webstore with a lot of changes/upgrades.

Starting out it will have less products, but as i grow i will add more and more. The Shopping cart i will be using is called “BigCommerce“. It is very well put together and programmed for SEO.

Im still working on minor details like billing, and categorys but the new site is coming along.

Stay tuned for more info, its going to be awesome!

My Store site is an on going project, and i need to know how im doing thus far, so if anyone could take some time and visit my store Littleaton.com, Then come back here and coment on it on this post.

Please feel free to give me any better ideas, things to add/remove/change, etc.

Constructive Criticism is allowed.

Thanks

Started with Nextag on Monday morn, got alot of clicks and visits to the site. But i dont think i got any orders from it. i think i got the ROI setup correctly, but never know as there is no help for that kind of stuff for Amazon Webstores.

Monday night/Tues morn Shopping.com was activated and it is no Wednesday and its inactive already, i think it killed over about noon today.

Shopzilla just activated about 2 hours go today (Wednesday) so we will see how it goes tomorrow.

For all of these engines i used the monthly budget option and used their min deposit avail.  Shopping.com used it up its amount first, nextag will die over night prob.  And im guessing Shopzilla will prob die thurs night/fri morning.

Overall, for a site like mine Littleaton.com i think its not very useful and they are just a money hole that wont do any good until i get everything else figured out first. Like SEO, and that kind of stuff.

I know there is more to the shopping engine stuff then just activating and leaving it be, like the CPC stuff and fine tuning that. But until i get my site basics down, in my opinion shopping engines are a sink whole.

So ill be trying more ideas soon, as well as getting my SEO and keywords more solidly in place.

The Good Stuff

There are some really good things about a cordless phone that you may or may not know about. The first is that it can be taken anywhere in the home. This is a great thing for those that are not able to stay in one room while they are on the phone for whatever reason. They can move around the home and find a quite place to talk.

Another good reason to have one is that they have some really nice features that can be used. These include, colors of the phones, one touch dialing, and redial options. Not all phones have these, but most cordless ones do.

The Bad Stuff

There are some bad things that you should know about these phones. The first is that you may notice the battery does not hold as long a charge as you may think it should. This can be a real pain in the butt.

The phones can also get lost in your home. Most of these phones have a page button on the base, but that doesn’t always find them. Keep this in mind when you are looking at phones. This way you find a cordless that has a base that will help you find a lost phone.

Cordless phones are really a nice thing to have if you can get over the bad things about them. Take your time and really look at the phones that you can get so that you know you are getting the one that will work the best for you and your family.

It is possible to have electronics and still protect the environment. When objects such as televisions and DVD players are not in use, they are still using electricity. It is not enough to simply turn them off; the items need to be unplugged when not in use. This concept applies to all items that run off of electricity. This is a simple way to not only conserve energy, but it will also make a large dent in the electric bill each month.

Changing all of the light bulbs around the home is another great resource for energy conservation. For outside lights switch to energy efficient bulbs or even better use solar lights. If the residence has a tendency to get overly hot or cold, causing excess use of heating system, try adding insulation to the attic area. This simple process will reduce the use of furnace or air conditioner.

The next for attempting to go green is by taking a good look at the food containers in cupboards and refrigerator. Items in plastic containers or metal cans will be thrown in landfills to sit for years. If you have space in the yard, create a small garden for growing vegetables or fruit. If there is no room for garden space, try a small container that will fit on a deck or patio to grow one or two different vegetables. Growing your own produce is not only great for the environment but taste better and is healthier than items bought in a market.

The topic of going green has different meanings for everyone. Some think is replacing a vehicle with an energy efficient model; others do the changes in the home. Simple changes do add up in savings for both the environment and the bank account.

There is not a need to dispose of or give away all of the home electronics as a means of saving the environment. These items are necessities to many of us. The idea is to keep the electronics and unplug or turn off when not in use.

You’ll want to be sure your electric alarm has a battery back-up so that if power is lost during the night you won’t oversleep because the alarm didn’t go off.

Go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time each morning. It is tempting to sleep in on weekends, but your body will have an easier time waking up each morning if you do so at the same time every day. When you set your bedtime, make sure you plan enough hours to get plenty of sleep.

Sometimes a radio playing isn’t enough to wake you up. Maybe the music just blends in with the song that is playing. If that is a problem for you, get one that has a buzzer or ringer. There are a lot of fun clocks on the market that make about any kind of sound you can imagine. For example, you can find a clock shaped like a dog that will bark to wake you up!

People who sleep hard may turn off their alarm without being completely awake and when they do wake up, they don’t remember every hearing it go off. You can remedy this by putting the alarm away from the bed so that you have to cross the room to turn it off. When you do get up to turn it off, be sure to stay up.

Some people find that setting more than one alarm works for them. Be sure that they don’t make the same noise and set them a few minutes apart. The different noises going on at the same time should help you wake up.

Are bodies naturally find it easier to wake up when there is light. There are now clocks on the market that put out light and gradually become brighter. They also have sound effects in case the light doesn’t wake you up.

Getting up in the mornings is just not easy for some people, but you should be able to find one of the above tips will help get you out of bed in time to meet your obligations.

Believe it or not, these units were first developed and installed in all major military vehicles. Now, this technology has become available for those who like to travel and need directions every so often. These units access satellites up in space that will retrieve information that tells you where to go.

The main appeal that these units hold is the fact that they will never steer you in the wrong direction. When you are looking to save as much time as possible, your unit will be able to give you the fastest route there! You will no longer have the need for maps to all different locations of the globe. The GPS unit will carry all of the information that you need.

If you do not travel a lot but you do like outdoor recreation such as camping, hiking, and snowboarding and skiing you can also enjoy a GPS unit. These units are usually designed to be a bit smaller so that you can slip the unit into your pocket. If you ever find yourself in a snag while in the mountains, these units will be able to send out signals to the coordinates of where you are.

When you are driving cross country or just around town it is always important to look out for yourself and your family. Being as safe as possible is what the all around goal is and GPS units help to act as a huge safety measure. These units can also help to track your car in the case that it is stolen.

When shopping around for new travel devices and extras make sure to look at GPS units. They house some of the best technology that is always up-to-date. Shop around online and see how much money that you can save!

A high percentage of these accessories serve useful purposes, not just fashionable ones. Phone chargers means phones last longer. Phone battery chargers make the buying more batteries obsolete. More work gets done and people are more efficient.

Another high percentage of phone complements encourage lawfulness and security. We used to have drive with one hand while holding the phone to talk in the other. This was dangerous and soon became illegal because drivers were paying more attention to their phone conversation than driving safely. Hands-free devices or kits have enhanced safety.

They have also improved lawfulness. As the old way of driving and communicating on wireless devices became unlawful, the technology of these accessories made people more law-abiding. Safe and legal is now the way to drive.

There is still yet another high percentage of people who buy phone accessories because they are convenient to use. Or they make life more convenient. Clips or holsters for transporting are common. Cases with any color imaginable or made from unique materials are popular. Many phone additions simply make a statement about one’s personality.

Talking on the phone while doing something else has been made easier by Bluetooth kits and headsets. Memory cards make easier being able to take everything along. Photos, journals, documents, even sensitive papers can be saved to your mobile device. And uploading from or downloading to the phone is a snap with connecting cables.

Most phones have a built-in antenna. But you still run across dead space every day. Certain parts of town, behind a hill or mountain, at an isolated beach, and more are all dead-spot hotspots. Eliminate them with a portable antenna. And if you want to take notes or a phone number, key them in more easily with a stylus.

As the demand increases for more mobile cell phones, so, too, does the need for accompanying phone accouterments. Now when people buy a phone, they have to consider the extras that will properly accessorize it.

There is a significant number of people who feel that mobile telephone accessories are a waste of money and resources. But accessories are not meant to only be useful. They are meant to make life more convenient, more fun, more efficient. And many people them because of this. And that is the purpose of accessories ‘ to make use of something in whatever way desired.

Also started working on some other articles/reviews going on other sites that link back to the store, those are kinda slow as well as you have to write them, then wait to be approved, then wait for the search engines to spider the site and see that they link to you, which in the end, in “theory” raises your page ranks and gets you higher in the search engines for your keywords and content on your site.

So its just a big waiting game.  So i guess we will see how things go.

My reg amazon marketplace is doing ok, slow at times but its picking up. almost getting a normal average of orders each day which is good.

But its alot of fun and i enjoy it!

So ive beenlooking around the interweb looking for more ways to get people into my store and found this
