Problems with my first website, criticism please !

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

     Hi, my name is Nick Caronna, first of all, thank you for your time! 


     I recently invented a new product, and when it started to sell more then I even expected, I decided to make a website. The product is the Skinny Can Holder, its a simple plastic insert that prevents drinks in skinny cans from spilling, primarily in the car. After creating this product ( 3d printed in my home ) and getting some sales on Etsy and eBay ( about 30 sales in a month ) at a price point of about $12 ( free shipping ). I am currently selling my product through 4 channels, here they are along with how many orders I have gotten.


(Etsy)[https://www.etsy.com/listing/568990459/red-bull-cup-holder-adapter-never-spill?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=red bull cup&ref=sr_gallery-1-2]  -17 orders


(eBay)[https://www.ebay.com/itm/Red-Bull-car-cup-holder-adapter-NEVER-spill-again-Fits-8-4-12-16-and-20/152848333458?hash=item2396787a92:g:0nkAAOSwGwlZ-gvR&vxp=mtr] -7 orders


(Amazon)[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078BD7JZT] -1 order 


     I'm new to Amazon, and this one has been tough for me. I grew up selling and using eBay, I just got my first sale on Amazon. The biggest difference was having to buy and use UPC codes, secondly I have been having a hard time with Amazon shipping. It seems like they only want me to buy a label from them, vs just showing me the address, I ship, and update tracking information... That's how I normally do things with eBay, I get that its not always the easiest, but I don't always have a scale on hand and I'm always worried I wont use enough postage and my package may not be delivered. Also, when I search for my own product on Amazon, I completely can't find it, guess I'm a bit of an Amazon noob. I'm lucky I even saw my first sale because  I really didn't get any super noticeable notifications like eBay and Etsy. I would appreciate ANY help, I'm shocked my eBay sales are so much higher then Amazon, I hope I can change that. Which all leads me to my current biggest issue. MY site! 

      Out of all my sales channels this has been the toughest, as I still don't have a single sale :( .
