    Prototype --> Manufacturing --> ? How is inventory and shipping handled?

    Even with a small apartment you could still hold inventory. Space may be limited but you just need to be creative and be able to organize. If the products are small just stuff them in your closet, under your bed, etc. Shipping fulfillment is an option if you want to delegate out. It depends if...

    Ecommerce niche - Pull the plug?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    In addition, starting out you may have lower margins unless you're going direct and do more volume. If you purchase more at a time or do a certain amount of volume is there any chance your profits could rise? Is there a reason why you have to drop-ship? I would take it into my own hands if I...

    Ecommerce niche - Pull the plug?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I think you pretty much answered your own question. Some are not even drop shipping. The rest are charging a drop-ship fee on top of shipping which leaves little room for profit. You also have no wiggle room. You would have to be 100% sure your shipping costs you charge are correct or it could...

    NEEDS versus WANTS

    It really depends on the context of each where they will show such differences in different situations. A need, more specifically a basic need is the bare minimum a human must have to survive. As it's been mentioned you need the following: Food Water Shelter Clothing Oxygen Once you have...

    To Resell or Not to Resell

    To get a better understanding of what you're asking, are you interested in products that already have an established brand identity (Nike, Adidas, Sony, LG, etc) or are you looking for products not so well known that you want to build a brand with? If you're interested in selling product such...

    Haha, got to get that energy! I stopped going to the gym during most of this as I wasn't even getting enough sleep let alone being able to go to the gym. It wasn't worth it. I wasn't getting the sleep requirements needed or eating correctly. Your diet and sleep is about 80% of working out...

    LOL, taking things to heart are we? The thing is you have no idea who I am or what I have done. I own multiple ventures that are successful. You have almost 700 posts. While you're busy posting about your personal life and spending time on this forum, I'm actually out there doing it. I've...

    Need to start networking

    Value depends on the person you talk to. If you offer the mentor something that means nothing to them or in no ways helps them out, that's clearly telling the mentor that they're wasting their time with you. Why would they continue when you have just shown that you aren't listening? If you can...

    Need to start networking

    It only takes one person to be your mentor that can change your life. However, while it may be easy to pick the diamond out of the rough on a forum, in person there may or may not be mentors who can help you. You need to meet people and connect with people where you both can help each other...

    When you get the right mindset you should be taking action and doing so with no emotion. You can create as many threads as you want and it's not going to get you anywhere. There are members here who devoted their time to help you out. Some of which have been in your shoes and took it to the...

    The main difference between successful people and losers!

    MINDSET 
    No matter how many times you fall off your bike you need to get back up and try again. Don't let anything get in your way. What are you currently working on? Why did you decide to take this route? How will this process be different than those other ventures you've had in the past? - Devin

    IDEA 
    Did this same person send you an affiliate link to buy said moon property? :smilielol: Joking aside, I agree that an idea is an idea. An idea is like planting a tree on my property. If I do nothing with it ever it will eventually die. However, if I take action by watering the tree it will...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (2012)

    GOLD! 
    100% agree on this. Unless, you have good contacts and they can work something out with you such as pay per sale or on a term basis. Distribution/Middle Man vs. Direct - What's better? Sometimes there are brands where it doesn't make sense to go direct. For example there's a brand where we...

    Killer Viral Marketing System

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeGgDr_XAyw I thought this was funny. Just shows how some people will annoy family and friends to sell something people don't want. You annoy them and can often lose friendship and the bond with family because of it. I didn't see the advertising on this video...

    Online or Offline Business?

    EXECUTION 
    I'm going to disagree slightly on this one. I agree that most businesses need the web presence to get online and offline business, especially if you're selling a product. However, I know many companies in the construction field who do not have websites. Some companies don't even have any web...
