    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Walter, I've had a lot of success with my initial imported product, but that success hit a temporary snag last week that has me re-evaluating my methods completely. Back in the spring I found the product I was looking for from a sole supplier on Alibaba, got samples from them, and was off to...

    How do I check how often a product is sold on Amazon?

    FTE 
    I tracked my first product for several weeks using the JungleScout web app before I took the plunge. It's fairly accurate so long as the product has a single seller. That said, a lot of their estimates are based on BSR, which can be tricky. For instance, a friend and mentor of mine has a...

    How do I check how often a product is sold on Amazon?

    FTE 
    UnicornSmasher is a free Chrome extension that acts like JungleScout. Neither will give you exact, accurate numbers, but they will give you algorithm based educated guesses. My suggestion is to find a market to serve before going product hunting. It makes the product selection part a lot easier.

    2016 Fastlane Summit, Official Event Thread

    MEETUPS 
    What is the best way for one to make sure they don't miss any important deadlines or dates required to getting into the next meetup? I only read the book ~11 months ago, and have only been in pseudo-business for ~eight weeks, but things are going well enough that a trip like this is actually...

    Biophase - Introducing My Ecommerce/Amazon Business Coaching Program

    MARKETPLACE 
    Wow, slots filled up *fast*. Looks like I'll be waiting for a couple of months or so, but I'm excited for the opportunity. Word came out this week that Amazon is about to gate my previously unrestricted category, which will cost me a non-refundable $2500 fee, so in a weird way things worked out.

    Biophase - Introducing My Ecommerce/Amazon Business Coaching Program

    MARKETPLACE 
    @biophase should we receive a confirmation e-mail after the form was sent? In my haste and out of habit I used my home e-mail address, and sometime e-mails sent to that address fall into a black home on my ISP's mail server. I too have already launched my first product, and have a product line...

    Walter, I'd like to start really drilling down on the QA process, particularly utilizing inspection services. Are there any resources you recommend for learning how to navigate acquiring an inspection service, ie what information they will want from me in terms of what I am needing done...

    Beginners Nerves

    THIS. My Amazon biz has barely been live for a month, and has been doing really well, but when I get that notification on my phone that a message has come through Amazon, my heart sinks every time - "This is it, the first domino that falls and brings the whole thing crashing down before it...

    Beginners Nerves

    It's nerve-wracking at first, but if you've done your due diligence and they've got a good rep, once you take action the first time, it gets much easier from there on out.

    You are Rich and barely have to work -What do now with all the freetime?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    At the risk of sounding hokey - spread the word that there is another way, and spread it to people while they are still young. Ever since I started delving into entrepreneurship (and especially now that I've started to see some early success with it), more and more people I know who I thought...

    Walter, Thanks to the knowledge you and several others have provided, I've begun a successful foray into the importing world, and it's exceeded my expectations and then some. I'm about to invest a significant amount of capital on a product line I've been researching and vetting for some time...

    Pokemon Go Game Discussion - Opportunities?

    HOT! 
    The aforementioned friend with the enterprising son just posted another thing I had to share: "Okay, time for someone to bring out PokePotties." I guess public facilities get pretty crowded when everyone is out hunting. Anybody here got coin-operated portapotties? It sounds like there's...

    Pokemon Go Game Discussion - Opportunities?

    HOT! 
    On the contrary - I know two pretty successful entrepreneurs and friends who are playing it a lot. Their local downtown during the evenings has become a social hub to the point that the young son of one of them opened up a "Poketreats" stand outside his dad's building downtown. You can sell a...

    Best approach to sourcing for bundles?

    SOURCING 
    I've hit not so much of a roadblock, but a speedbump, and could use some input. I started out a couple of months ago planning to dip my toes into FBA. My goal was to research and find a promising product, give it a spin as an experiment, and go from there. In my research, however, I came...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Funny this thread popped up in the main feed when it did. I've been pondering this myself - I've consumed tons of info, made tons of plans, but made no actual action. Is it fear of failure? General overwhelm? I have no idea, but I'm sick of it. Just ordered a small batch of the item I've...
