Unlike Hogg, lindell actually knows how to run a business
RIP Pig pillow....
Hogg new venture will into gaming....hide the sausage vidoe game.... I think its a detective theme
F
Lol
No Pig Feathers for u!
Amazon has a few advantages
But if PillowMan can source American made items, I’ll shop there
This! He may not ever be able to put a dent into Amazon, but there are plenty of us who would love an easy way to buy American made products or at least American companies importing and reselling products from other countries (other than China).
Hey, I don't deal with Amazon, but like shopping online.
I've been boycotting them for years. Evil company. I'd love to see this actually be good!
Wow! Someone was triggered and down voted!
Lmao look at my post history I have a downvote brigade that usually follows my every post. What a timeline
It's because sometimes you sound like that pussy Fauxi. And you raped me.
Name checks out
A whole 3 cucks!
Thats like almost an actual person!
It was probably the Hogg himself scouring the internet for stories and comments about himself to see if he's still relivent or if he needs to come out and do or say something else that is completely retarded.
Yeah, but he's going to have difficulty because the engineering is the most important component, not the business. The older business types actually struggle with that part, and usually cheap out on it, which ends up causing them to fail.
It's not just the software engineering of the site that make Amazon Amazon, it's more their distribution network.
Amazon has gotten the logistics figured out, so much so that that's what they're really selling. More than the cheap crap from China. They have it down so well, that second day delivery doesn't just cost them nothing over their normal delivery, it is their normal delivery time. If you don't have Prime, they will actually hold your package from shipping for a day or two longer, just so it doesn't arrive in two days.
And they got that down almost a decade ago. Now, they're able to get a lot of orders delivered the next day for no additional cost to them.
If you can't match the logistics, you're in an uphill battle. You can win over the people that put their conscience over having to wait a few extra days. But never underestimate the population's desire for quick gratification.
Yes and no. Their logistics are so good because of the engineering; they are not independent. For example, predicting the optimal place to store certain goods based on user behavior is a software engineering problem. Modern logistics is all done with software; the physical components aren't really relevant as space is pretty cheap overall.
Apparently, my first sentence wasn't clear enough.
Meant to convey that the software engineering wasn't just behind the site, but also behind their distribution network.
Oh sorry, the way that it was phrased made it seem like you meant they were independent. But yeah, agreed.
Here in the 808 even WITH Amazon Prime packages take 7 days or more and are often late. If Mike can fix that problem he's got a new population of buyers. Maybe get a distribution center in the 808.
We lost Bed, Bath & Beyond, Pier 1, Sears, Kmart, and more in the 808 during COVID. We need more places to shop. Help us, Mike!
We have some based software developers here right? Maybe they can apply
The problems arn't with the engineers, they're with the management role structures, and heavy reliance on consultants and contractors.
Look to the VC funded tech startups of the last 20 years for good examples and large consulting firms for poor examples.
You can have rock star engineers, but if you don't have a proper leadership role structures and boundaries on leadership's authority to prevent micro management, you'll drive away your talent and suffocate what's left of it.
I don't have a problem like that at my company. Modern companies don't have to suck
As it turns out, Experience in biting pillows is not the same as selling pillows.
This could devestate Amazon...
Think about how many patriots are dying for an alternative. I know I am!
Exactly! I'll support him on day one
I cancelled prime and will spend half a day finding anywhere else to buy what I need. I'm sure it will suck but maybe it will suck less than Bezos and his shadow empire.
You should still use amazon to search. Once you find something you like, follow the merchants link back to their website and buy from them directly.
Folks just need to remember that it cannot and will not rival Amazon on day 1. You need to be willing to spend a little more for a while.
I'll pay more. I won't deal with lack of selection. Mr Lindell needs a huge warehouse
Me too for sure.
In general I won’t boycott a group to go to another woke company. What’s the point?
But I will pay double to support good people.
And no way can he provide all the products/brands. Many won’t sell on his platform. But I will certainly support and buy from Lindell. My wife has been doing less shopping because she doesn’t like giving our money to woke corporations. This might not be good for my bank account. LOL
Worth it. Fuck, make it premium ONLY.
Im there
Yup same here! My wife and I always talk about this!
I'm usually more optimistic, but I think you are correct. Amazon may take a hit, but they certainly won't be dethroned.
It can if Mike's production selection starts with vendors who are ostracized, or who have higher margin / premium products.
I hope so! I’ve been praying for Amazon to get knocked down
When I look at Jeff Bezos, I imagine him in a black cloak, holding a dagger over a child.
Hopefully they make a Kindle replacement app. Load that place up with eBooks, Amazon makes ridiculous money for no work there.
Need an equivalent alternative to audible too.
It has a pre-launch site on mypillow rn.
I was wishing someone would hope it works... He should be worth 100 billion not Jeff
Thank you Mike! This will be tough business. Walmart.com already undercuts Amazon on everything they sell, but if you focus on American made (or just Never China!) products I'm in!!!
I think focusing on USA products is how he could beat the snot out of them. It would be hard to beat amazon at their own game since it's rigged in their favor. But if he makes it easy to search and buy US made products I think he could garner an audience of his own while also slowly leaching Amazon customers as his site gains traction.
Since not everything is made in America these days, I'm fine with buying from American companies who are importing products from other countries, just not China.
I would be happy to start with never China products.
Also note each item that is 100% USA Manufactured.
That would be awesome.
He will take on Facebook next. The website will be known as MySpace.
MyFace
Lulz. He should consider a feature where people can add their fav music trax on the MySpace website.
Tom has entered the chat..
There is a vacuum in that industry. Amazon started off as a great storefront for small businesses. It was like Etsy but for actual companies.
Then China moved in and forced everyone and everything out. Nearly every product on Amazon is a Chinese knockoff. If you search for something like "permanent match", you'll see ten different "stores" all named something like nonsense like

These are real 'companies' I just pulled off of Amazon. They're usually all-caps and are always gibberish 'words'.
And the products they're selling are identical to each other, with just a different name etched on it. You can go onto Alibaba and find the exact same product sold for $0.25 apiece by the literal fuckin' thousands.
Hell yes! This is awesome.
TAKE MY MONEY!
Fucking Amazon cucks sold out to China, every piece of shit thing on there is absolute garbage, eagerly awaiting Mike's website
Oh hell yes PLEASE Mike. Crush Amazon.
This is the way
Mike, I'm in.
MyStore is a weak ass name. Get me in contact with Mike he needs to call it Manifest, short for Manifest Destiny. Also no Chinese shit should be sold on there. American products only on Manifest.
Nah
I would use mystore for everything possible. No reason to keep feeding the swamp.
I'll be patronizing that company
It would be awesome if all the blacklisted authors were able to sell their books and merchandise on his platform!
The big issue a lot of american companies have right now is magnitude of scale. A lot of these companies offer great products, but these products are produced in relatively small numbers and are therefore expensive. Only takes a year or two until the chinese copy the product and they are able to sell it for 1/2 or less. That means they produce it for 1/4" of the price. One part is labor cost, but another is material cost. Smaller companies will never get the huge quantity discount larger producers will get. If the article is mass produced, domestic production is often only 10-15% more expensive for the end consumer. But the wealth produced stays much more distributed and will create far more wealth by increasing the frequency of money changing hands.
I would support this. Hands down. I am sick of Amazon and love capitalist competition.
bruh, this is gonna be big
Shut up and take my money!
I'd shop his site if for only the reason that it isn't Amazon. Don't mind paying more for American made products.
AWESOME! I've been looking for a non-cucked way to sell my products online.
I would shop. We NEED an alternate infrastructure. Commerce, communication, media. But we have a huge catchup to do.
New based Amazon and social media replacements back to back? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP
May GOD continue to bless this man and his company!
73+ Million ready to spend money at his stores!
This is actually some of the best news I've heard in a long time. Honestly. This is awesome!!!
Even if the prices are a little higher at the start, I'll gladly shop there instead of Amazon.
Mr Lindell.....Please stock your store with lots of Cat Food!
We really fucking need this. Overstock sucks balls and Amazon isn't an option at all.
I jizzed in my pants when I saw this headline.
you can buy some new ones on Mikes site.
Enter code PATRIOTJIZZ at checkout for 30% off all pants and underwear.
This is the hardest I have laughed on The Donald since Election Night.
THANK YOU for making me laugh in the midst of this crazy clown world!!
(I read your comment in the TV Announcer Voice---LOL)
AWESOME!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Hell yess!
Finally, I had not found an Amazon alternative for years, now I will be able to buy online again and support the patriots.
He needs the ability to filter your results by "Made in America"!
..and Ill be there to support him all the way!
YAAASS!
I’m all onboard! I just can’t be a infomercial store. He’s gotta hit it hard like amazon. I know he can do it!
Also....
FFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffffffffuck Newsmax - notice how loaded the last few paragraphs of that article are? They've been (or always were) completely cucked.
Have you been to the My pillow website. I wouldn't anticipate any website he makes to stick.
We need to reach out
This is a simple forum. Stores like amazon are much more difficult. Lidels website is a relic from the 90's.
Some of us work on incredibly complicated software for our day jobs that make a simple store look like child's play.
Yeah it needs to be a powerful web application.
I'm sure he has a guy on it. He's not making the website. All you have to do is copy Amazon's design.
Uh, no that’s not “all you have to do”. Just a tad more difficult.
Setting up a proper SQL server is a shit ton of work for the sheer quantity of information collected on a social media site.
Shut up and take my money!
This is the way, we need a based and redpilled alternative to Amazon.
fuck yes. take my money.
YES YES YES YES!!!!!
I CANT WAIT TO DITCH AMAZON!
I am going to buy stuff at that store even if I don’t need it. The symbolic fuck you to the left when this store becomes successful will be worth it for me.
We need this as fast as possible, along with patriot banks, tech and media.
YES PLEASE
If it’s not full of Chinese crap (like Amazon) I’ll be shopping there for sure!
Mike, please include the product’s country of origin/manufacture
We need an Amazon for gun parts and ammo.
I hope he does publishing next
This is awesome! I can only buy so many pillows before it becomes a disorder. Give me something new to buy from you, Mike!
He already has my store up from a while ago https://www.mypillow.com/mystore
