My brother and I have built a tool aimed at email marketers, allowing them to create images with merge tag information on top.
We are at $0 and now know why you should start marketing on day 1, this marketing stuff is hard!
We have a solid MVP and there are so many possibilities to improve / expand the target market.
Future versions could show a retailers best selling product and have the image dynamically change to 'low in stock', 'sold out' etc. If a retailer has multiple stores, we could show information specific to the closest store to you.
We want to get some customers and let them help guide the roadmap.
I love your artwork, some of it reminds me of this style that I have bought prints of https://www.mateo-art.com/ You need to add the option to have prints delivered like they do!
Also, on your site it took me too long to realise that the 'next page' image was a link.
I'm a full stack web developer and I created https://www.quirkycushion.com last week. If it gains any traction then I plan on setting up sister sites for other products.
I read the book http://www.startupbook.net/ which says to pick a niche which is why I will have several sites each focusing on one product rather than one site with multiple categories.
It's interesting that you have adwords on your homepage. Does it bring in any revenue? To me it detracts from the overall look of the site. I just Googled custom cupcake design and you are 4th, maybe there just aren't that many people after the service?
The idea was to get content for the main website so that it would make money. I've got over 2000 recipes now but traffic is still under 1000 hits a day so I've still not tried to monetise the main website.
I've now started to develop a job recruitment website as I can see that earning money a lot easier. Other sites in the niche have 10 job postings a day each and charge on average my prices which would mean £1000 a day. I just need to solve the recruiter / applicant traffic problem... http://www.platejobs.com/
I've wanted to a/b test my plan name but don't know of any good alternatives. I have a free WordPress plugin and have a paid-for version which adds more features so it's called generically 'Premium version'.
The people who buy it come from different backgrounds and I don't want to segment the product.
It's a recipe plugin and the premium version adds a nutrition tab to satisfy the nutritionists and category listing pages for people who want to organise their recipes more than what the free version allows.
