    My opinion of the Amazon Marketplace

    NOTABLE! 
    I agree to a certain extent, but I think we are talking past each other here. I agree that in the long run quality will always rise to the top. But most businesses have a limited lifespan - due to technology development, trends, general interest - and the smarter move seems to be a marketing...

    My opinion of the Amazon Marketplace

    NOTABLE! 
    Of course some value needs to be added, but the focus seems to be on branding rather than adding value. In the backpack example, it seems more important to attract attention via social media for brand recognition as opposed to making a better product and have the added value be the selling point.

    My opinion of the Amazon Marketplace

    NOTABLE! 
    Does this new approach lessen the importance of adding value? It seems like you'd be able to build a successful brand by getting in front of eyes instead of improving a pain point.

    I will help you find a product to sell on Amazon

    @biophase Thanks for the great thread. Just finished reading through it and it’s sparked a research kick. I’m new around here, and I want to build capital before starting a larger project. I think Amazon might be the place to do it. My first idea: Sports Climbers...

    Entering a cornered market

    RANT 
    I figured that much. I have an idea for an added benefit that goes beyond what their produdct does But if my idea catches on, they would be quick to replicate the change and I'm not sure there would be anything stopping them from implimenting it on a larger scale to a larger audience.

    Entering a cornered market

    RANT 
    I've been researching a few ideas and i think I've found a decent opportunity. But, the market is essentially run by one company. They created the space and have a great reputation within the community. There is 1 other major competitor, and they don't have a footprint close to the main...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    Awesome post. I've been doing some research on a potential idea and this helped me out a ton. I am able to check the majority of boxes so it might be something worth pursuing. Any suggestions on evaluating the scope of a business? I want to primarily sell 3 categories of products, but one of...

    Food business/entrepreneurship startup guide

    NOTABLE! 
    That is a great video. I remember watching it a while back and thinking how close his hustle is to a drug dealer . I have reached out to a wholesaler to find out more info. It seems like a decent option to grind some capital for a long-term business. I could be wrong, but I'm going to do more...

    Food business/entrepreneurship startup guide

    NOTABLE! 
    Welp, I found some info on where to start on Reddit. Seems shady, and fun! I just need to learn some pricing and I might try it out. It doesn't seem like a long-term business, but it does look like a nice hustle.

    @Scot Awesome post. I have a question and I'm not sure if it's appropriate for this thread or the product sourcing one. How would you suggest I research souricing limitied products? I'm interested in slanging truffles to high end restaurants, but finding a truffle dealer is notoriously...

    Kessinger / Clothing Brand Idea

    IDEA 
    @Millennial If you're interested in a branding move, why don't you try to reach out to social influencers. Your hat gives off a hunters or outdoorsman vibe, so it might be worth sending some of your hats to people in that space. If you're looking for a cause, and agree that your target...

    Skeptic here to see what this community is about

    I was reading an article on Forbes and the guy mentioned it, not sure of his name. What I liked was that it wasn't a giant CEO; he was an average guy running a very lean business that made him a lot of money with minimal headaches. I've always had a creative bug that I've never quite known how...

    Thanks for the links! I'll be sure to read unscripted first if you recommend that. Also just purchased Brand Seduction. The summary sounds super interesting and I'm looking forward to checking it out

    Recommend 3 books

    So I am new to the game, and I'm doing some reading before jumping in. I don't want to get stuck in an endless research phase, so I'm limiting myself to 5 books to get started. My first two are TMF and Unscripted, but I'm looking for recommendations on the remaining 3. I am starting this...

    Most online communities come off as spammy, but TFL didn't give me that vibe at all, so I'm here to see what you all have to offer. I haven't read either book yet (both are ordered), but I keep seeing references to the books and advice on this site in interviews of successful entrepreneurs...
