PODCAST: Let’s Talk About Ecommerce – Q&A with Keller

Podcast: Download (7.6MB)

Over the last nine months, I’ve received several emails and blog comments regarding ecommerce. I decided to combine all of those questions into a 45 minute Q&A podcast where I can share my answers with all of you at the same time! The audio is a little low, so please let me know if you’re experiencing trouble hearing me.

I refer to my ecommerce host several times in this podcast. You can learn more about them here: Network Solutions. I use their nsCommerceSpace™ (Premium) package for all of my stores.

Questions I Answer in this Podcast:

What ecommerce software do you use?
How did you create your ecommerce stores?
Do you use dropshipping for your Theme Kitchen and Theme Bathroom stores or do you carry inventory yourself?
What is your opinion of working with individual dropshippers versus a service like Doba.com.
I don’t have the time to individually contact suppliers/wholesalers. How do I find product?
Do they use more than one dropshipper for each store? Can I sell several different products online, from separate dropshippers, on the same store?
How do you get all of your dropshippers to use the same shipping carrier?
Do you send multiple tracking numbers to customers when sending items from more than one shipper?
Do you charge the customers for the extra shipping charges acquired from shipping from more than one location?
How do you handle taxes if a customer orders a product that is shipped from their own state?
If I have a WordPress blog setup and want to add a shopping cart, is that possible?
Do you process and ship orders yourself?
Are your stores actually a frontend of an affiliate site?
How do you update content on your stores for SEO purposes?
