BlackSocks.com – What it teaches us?

bradpit-blacksocksWhat if i tell you they have made millions by selling just socks (more precisely, just black socks) online?

The founder of blacksocks.com, smartly blending the-so-ordinary black-socks selling in “subscription” model, they even coined the term “SOCKSCRIPTION“.

Whoever command the niche or pioneering a new way of doing things, gets to coined the term. 🙂 and when you get to coin the term (like people mention CREST instead of toothpaste), you will get most of the market share and profit.

And how could people resist talking about you when you do such unique and seems-to-be-crazy things online?

So what we can learn from blacksocks.com? Craft out your own niche (like Acer Founder Stan Shih like to say: me-too-is-not-my-style).

On the web, you are either unique (niche… focus…extremely good at something) or you are a 600-pound-godzilla like Amazon.com. If you happened to be in the middle, the odd of being toasted is unbelievably high.

So are you starting up an online store? Whether you are a new bie or existing retailers with brick-and -mortar stores, I believe you will benefit from our sharing below:
