Ask HN: Please review my site about learning how to open and grow a store
Thanks for anyone taking the time to view this post. I recently launched a "niche" site that will focus solely on helping people learn how to open and grow a store; either online or offline. The site is: http://openastorenow.com
Since the site only went up about a week ago, content is quite limited, but a lot of work is going in to provide tons of information, guides, resources, case-studies, motivational information, and much more.
I'd love to hear from the community: 1) Any feedback about the concept. 2) Any feedback about the site itself, design, layout, material, etc. 3) What topics would you like us to cover or questions to answer? 4) What resources/applications would you like us to review? 5) Do you have any stories or case-studies you want us to publish? (We'll make a post here in a few days asking for store-owners to share their stories).
A little background on the site: I've had some experience in the past running small online stores and have always had a passion about eCommerce. I'm also currently working closely with someone in the middle of launching a fashion store online, which will also soon be opening a retail space. During the process, we've both learned a lot and would love to share. This site was created because we found it nearly impossible to find the information we needed (especially in one single place or website). Since people are opening stores left and right, we thought we could help a lot of people by creating a great resource like this.
Disclosure: The site monetized through affiliate partnerships with (most of) the products and services discussed on the site.
Thanks for your time!
