I live in London. It rains often, but that day the sky was especially heavy, the kind that forces you to think. I sat in a cosy café in London Bridge (Gails), nursing a lukewarm flat white, staring at my laptop. The goal was simple: sell one product online. Just one.

Like anyone, I Googled “best way to sell online.” Every blog, every ad, every guru pointed to the same solution: shopify.

So I signed up. Chose a theme. Set up my product. But then the problems began.

- How do I write a blog post that’s SEO-friendly?”
- Where does my money actually go?”
- How do I collect testimonials?”

And why does every answer involve installing another paid app?

One by one, I realised I was patching together tools like duct tape on a sinking boat.

My tech stack grew faster than my sales. I hadn’t even launched and already felt overwhelmed.

So I did what most don’t: I started building my own solution. I called it miniecom. A clean, simple, no-fluff platform for people like me. No plugins. No extra costs. Just everything in one place.

A few weeks later, I found myself in Oxford, attending a small founder gathering. It wasn’t a grand event, just a quiet fireside chat with tea, biscuits, and some sharp minds.

There I met someone who would become a quiet force in my journey, a mentor who runs one of Oxford’s most respected accelerator programmes. Over a walk along the Cherwell, I told him everything. The frustration. The idea. The ambition.

He asked one question that changed everything:
“Are you making money from day one?”

I hesitated. “No. Not yet.”

He smiled and said, “Then you’ll burn out. You need something that pays you to keep going. What brings immediate value to your customer?”

That question stuck with me the whole train ride back to London.

I spoke with early users. I listened. And the answer became clear: testimonials. Not just text ones. But real, emotional, powerful video stories. The kind that builds trust instantly.

So I shifted gears.

miniecom became more than a store builder. It became a tool for trust.

What miniecom will include:
- Ecommerce storefront you can host on your own domain
- SEO-ready blog tools
- Video testimonial collection and display
- Calendar booking system
- Invoices and automated receipts
- Email tools for campaigns and follow-ups
- CRM features
- Customer feedback and reviews

A clean dashboard with everything in one place

Soon, we’ll be adding digital downloads, affiliate tools, social selling integrations, and course creation tools too.

But at the heart of it is trust. That’s why testimonials are front and centre from day one.
