Re:Weebly (YC W07) launches new service, Android app on Friday May 03, 2013 @07:20PM (#5653225)
Very big fan of Weebly! excited and impressed about this, and apparently a few extra eCom features in the pipeline (that would save me using Shopify for the store component of my site)... I launched my business www.dataGO.co selling SIMs cards for overseas countries (initially just as a test idea)- was blown away with sales, and next thing I know I'm in SF and doing partnership deals with online travel players! wouldn't have been possible otherwise- thanks David and co..

reading that piece made me think of an article that I came across a while ago, about a photographer who went around rural China convincing people to cart all their 'stuff' outside their home and would take a photo of it all...amazing to see their life possessions on display; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19648095

Does australia have talent? definitely some sort of talent for making car sounds- this guy was on our national tv; http://youtu.be/RSDUcKw-GOk
Re:How I made money with TeeSpring on Monday December 03, 2012 @09:16PM (#4869175)
Yeah I'm inspired too... nearly felt too easy to set up! (different thing to actually sell them though)

I'm a big fan of Flight of the Concords so I made this one; http://teespring.com/itsbusinesstime

Wonder what tips there are around getting a campaign right (ie guessing simplicity and fun are key factors...but what about colour of the t-shirt etc?) Also, would be nice to get some analytics about how many visit your campaign page Vs people who add to cart but don't buy etc.. (or did I miss that?)

[also this is my first post on Hacker news! followed for ages, but kind of looking forward to adding more]
