    Down Goes Another MLM, But a New One Shall Rise Again

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Yes I did, about 2 months ago. It helped to change my outlook in life, trying to get my wife to read it so she's 100% on the same page that I am (not sink so much time and effort into the mlm). I know she could do so much more with her time and energy. Why do you ask?

    Down Goes Another MLM, But a New One Shall Rise Again

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have a confession to make. I only found this site and MJ's book because of a mlm. My wife joined one a year ago, and to be honest she's making more than she puts in, but the time sink is quite large sometimes. She does this part time while working full time, so I commend her for that. So...

    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    I feel the pain of the product search. It would be easy to ship in a "gold rush" type product and make a quick buck, however I'd rather build up a sustainable importing model. Also trying to avoid products that have negative press. I've had luck buying clearance products at retail and...

    Standing out is the point of copy right? Would you prefer to be noticed or just be another listing in a list? :)

    First try at copywriting, helping a friend. Feedback wanted!

    MARKETING 
    To address your points: :) 1. I wrote this for a craigslist ad, was focusing on search terms more than benefits. Any ideas for a better title? 2. Good point, should put in something like "service done recently, new tires, etc. 3 & 5. This was me being lazy and it being late. No excuse...

    IDEA: No-speak ordering at McDonald's etc.

    IDEA 
    Playing devils advocate here, but they are already phasing out normal UPCs. The improved inventory accuracy (real time), with less labor needed to track with make up the cost difference. More info on RFID. EPC is the new Electronic Product Code that replaces the older UPC (Universal Product...

    IDEA: No-speak ordering at McDonald's etc.

    IDEA 
    They are already testing touchscreen ordering (with pictures) in some McDonalds locations. No cashier, just punch in and order, swipe card. Taco bell also has an app that lets you order from it. Not trying to discourage you, just giving info on whats already in the market.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Ecom man, thanks for all great value you have given us in this thread. I have a quick question about paying suppliers, do you use tt or western union for any transactions? One of the places I got a quote from only accepts those payment options, and what I have read that normally means a...

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    Being married is work 24/7. Double time when you have a kid(or kids). Treat it sort of like a fastlane, needs to be built up in a partnership to reap bigger rewards/value later. Same mindset as starting a business, if you think it will fail out of the gate then you will make it fail. Work...

    So it begins, the first steps of many.

    EXECUTION 
    Why would I sell directly instead of using ebay/amazon? Wouldn't that reach a larger number of people to get feed back from?
