    EXECUTION 
    Last Week: - I listed my bluetooth headphones, but no takers. I'm going to rewrite the ad. - For the 2 potential product items I had: one of them had LOTS of competitors already after doing more due diligence, while I'm still looking for manufacturers for item 2. Will place both on the sidelines...

    Business idea - Yay / Nay ?

    HOT! IDEA 
    For the landing pages, don't forget to submit to sites like StartupList and Betalist. Theyre two of the most highly trafficked start-up signup sites. They specialize in listing new startups in the beta phase and won't allow you to list once you're launched. Also, if you use Reddit, posting on...

    Business idea - Yay / Nay ?

    HOT! IDEA 
    I'm not sure how it is in Europe, but have you taken a look at US job boards? There are A LOT of them. There's usually one for pretty much every niche, and then you've got your big ones like Indeed and Monster. The question is how are you going to be able to differentiate yourself from other...

    Go back in time, your 19 years old. Where do you start whats your mission?

    EXECUTION 
    Its good to hear that youre already exercising. I didnt pick it up until i was in college. It depends on how much you're spending time at the gym. For me, I spend about 1-1.5 hours a day exercising. I was on the Westside for Skinny Bastards by Joe DeFranco, but I stopped going to the gym. Now...

    Confused Slow-to-Fast-to-Middle-Laner. What Do You Think?

    No one wants 'Good enough'. They want 'Better'. Google beat Altavista when it became 'better' and kept improving. Facebook became better by limiting spam and providing exclusivity. AirBnB improved upon Craigslist's listings section. DropBox improved upon USBs and emails by becoming easier to...

    Just a Tip When Browsing DHGate

    Hey guys, So when you're doing your product research and going through DHGate, you can view as many items as you want on one page. So instead of going through 100's of pages with only 25 items per page, you can view 2 pages of 1000 items. I find it easier and a bit faster to do this...but it...

    Quit my Job. Starting My First eCommerce Business.

    EXECUTION 
    Something interesting happened today. I was expecting for my last day of work to be next week, but my company said I can leave today. So now my plans have changed. My 2nd product samples were supposed to come right after I left the company, but since I now have about a week and a half of...

    Does it add value?

    MINDSET 
    It's interesting. Yesterday, I was going through and looking for more ideas, and I found one that DEFINITELY needs to be upgraded and fixed because it's a total crap product. Yet it's sold a ton of product. It'll be cheap to fix and the profit margin is desirable. BUT I looked online to see...

    Excuses

    HOT! 
    All you're doing is complaining. No one here will help you unless you can figure out most things yourself. How to get started? Go to your job. Wait until you hit that point where you hate everything about your job and realize how dead-end it is. Get mad about how your future holds nothing but...

    Quit my Job. Starting My First eCommerce Business.

    EXECUTION 
    Flipping would be to fund the eCommerce. If, for whatever reason, I run out of money, I will need a way to get that seed money. Hopefully though, it doesn't come to that. That and I don't really use these things so I might as well make some money off of it.

    Quit my Job. Starting My First eCommerce Business.

    EXECUTION 
    So yesterday, I posted my dry-run product on Amazon. I haven't gotten my light box set up yet, so I used stock photos for the listing. They suck, but it'll do for now until I can get actual photos up (which is hopefully tomorrow or the day after). I'm holding off on posting on CL, as I want...

    Finding A Need/Idea

    IDEA 
    I'm not sure how useful this solution would be for actual entrepreneurs. When you go on your first venture and look for your first idea, it'll definitely be hard. Then you find your first idea. Then you execute. Succeed or fail, you'll have opened up your mind and ears to the world. You'll hear...

    EXECUTION 
    Got my package from DHL today. The sales rep at the company packed it REALLY well. Listed weight on DHL was significantly more than the actual weight...not sure what that's about. I'll speak with the manufacturer again about the packaging if I decide to order more of these. Did a quick...
