Moving From Ebay: Part 4 Another New Way to Bid

Alright in my last update on moving away from ebay I attempted to use a plugin that allowed me to host bids here on my site. The problem was although I paid 50.00 dollars for a Facebook Ad, it increased my likes on my fan page, but it did not translate into people visiting the site and writing comments or trying to bid.

What I did is what you are witnessing now, establishing my site as my homebase of operations.

The JmksportStore CG097 II Test Samples: Ebony/Scarlet

Last year I released my first running shoe to pretty good success. The CG097 was made of suede and mesh and was really geared towards fall/winter joggers. The problem was the shoe tried a new idea I had called P-Grip which only used rubber in segments of the shoe. The shoe also clocked in over 1lb which is not very good for a running shoe. (Pictures after the link).

The JmksportStore Tori High

SOLD OUT The JmksportStore Tori High was a play on the Nike Dunk that took suede, leather, canvas and recreated the classic with premium materials.

The Status by JmksportStore
