Anyone running/seeing success with a "thisiswhyimbroke" curated-shop style website?

9 replies
Hey (newbie here),

I'm getting my curated shop ready for launch and I'm just wondering if anyone else is currently running a similar style website and how it's going for you? Mine is like "thisiswhyimbroke" and those sites in design, but a different niche. I'm very passionate about my niche and concept of the site and I'm excited about writing blog posts on it as well. I'm just a bit doubtful on how well it can do since I'm pretty late to the party. It's my first site so I don't have huge expectations, but I'd hate to see it fail miserably.

I've been finding quite a few curated-shop style websites while researching. A lot of them look really nice, well-designed and in unique niches, but I just wonder how successful they really are.

Any thoughts or advice is appreciated

    when you say curated content, you mean you don't write your own.

    You just cut and paste from different sources

    is this correct?

    It would help if you could refer us to any "curated" sites you would consider to be a good model. Could you?

    My opinion is curated was a hot flash word, but what any so-called curated site needs is an evergreen interest. Are people going to be interested in your stuff in 5 years? Thanks if you can share a couple of examples.

      Hi,

      I meant "curated" as in I'm "curating" the products listed on the site. Kind of like how thinkgeek.com is a showcase of "geeky" stuff. Sorry, I should have explained differently.

      Some sites that are good examples include iwantdis.com or thisiswhyimbroke.com. Iwantdis is focused more on stylish things while TIWIB is more on unusual things. My niche is definitely the type that people will always be interested in. I haven't found any website of this style that is in the niche I'm in either. I was feeling doubtful about my site at the time I posted this question, but I feel more confident that I will see some success with it now.

      Thanks for the reply!

      Hi, I am completely new to the WF community. I have never made an account before, and I came up with the name for my website over a year ago.
