I want to ask a question about whether customers will follow if I move from a marketplace to my own site.

I have experience with this, I should say: moving to your own site depends on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.

Another perspective: maybe the core issue with moving to your own site is something else. Think about it like this...

note: I wrote this based on my own experience, it might not apply to everyone.

But what's the real risk? If this choice is wrong, does the business shut down? I'm saying this so you're super careful.

Look let's be honest most business owners make the wrong choice in these situations. anyway be careful, hasty decisions often end in regret.

I went through the same thing. Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.

A two-week notebook guides you more than a six-month forecast. If you post the result here, it will help others too.

Let me speak from the other side; I'm on the supplier side. The real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on.

Hasty decisions become decisions you have to fix six months later.

Following. Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.

i cant fully agree with this. taing notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate.

if you post the result here, it will help othrs too.

Thanks, that was the answer I was looking for. A small market isn't bad; working cheaply in a small market is.

Hope this helps.

its rare to find an explanation this clear. a two-week notebook guides you more than a six-month forecast.

The most overlooked point about moving to my own site is this: A two-week notebook guides you more than a six-month forecast.

A small market isn't bad; working cheaply in a small market is. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm writing this so you don't make the same mistake. Hasty decisions become decisions you have to fix six months later.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I feel the same way. Any unwritten clause becomes a point of disagreement later, as both sides remember it differently.

That's all, sorry if I went on too long.
