How do you do yahoo?? - 3/9/2003 21:17:02   
I was wondering if any of you had some tips, tricks, hints working with the horrid, time consuming Yahoo! stores, without breaking the computer or my head. I HATE IT but the sales are supposedly worth it, so I am going to try.

I don' t. :)

I often avoid buying from Yahoo stores, as many I' ve come across look like " let' s get a Yahoo store and make money" . As with any site, it really depends on the business itself... if they assure me they are trustworthy, dependable, have good prices, and decent shipping rates, that is what matters to me. :)

Under " trustworthy and dependable" ... I' ve seen several Yahoo stores without good contact info - not a good sign.... but there are a couple nice ones I' ve bought from, too.

Good luck with it! It' ll be interesting to see if it really does bring in some active customers. I hope it does! [:p]

With all of the design clients I now have (I don' t know HOW I got them, but I have too many!!) complaining of no sales, here I am complaining I have TOO MANY, but I want to expand to get more sales so I can hire help.

Everyone who has gotten the free trial stuck with it because the shopping portal drove targeted traffic, but it is a pain in the bum to try to make them look nicer than they do.

Maybe this will help some?
http://www.ystorebuilder.com/tips.htm ...linked to a forum, but I didn' t check it out.

Here' s a couple sites done by ydesigns.com - a designer specializing in Yahoo stores...

Not your typical yahoo stores. There IS hope here somewhere! :)

Summer,
Check out the fees before you start down this road. I was just contracted by a guy who spent $1000 designing a Yahoo store and his monthly fees were almost $100 for four months before he made a sale!

Best of luck!

Bill

p.s. - I' m a big fan of www.ecommercetemplates.com!
