    First True Venture into Importing & Growing a Business

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    Sunday.. time to work. I'm running dangerously low on inventory, less than 15 units left to cover me until Thursday (assuming Amazon is quick as last time about restocking). At the rate I was selling at yesterday I would be out of stock today. I increased the price last night by a few dollars...

    Thanks good call. I'm going to do it. It's better for the customer that they can see a video or a guide on how to replace the part anyway. I plan on adding content to compete and market after a while.

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    Today for the first time I hit double digit # of orders/day. Looks like my price increase had no bearing on sales.. if anything it has increased. Closing in on my competitors.. I sent in another box assembled and I'm hoping I won't run out of stock. I only have 2-3 days left at this rate. It...

    Raised my price to break even point. Still costings me in ad spend but I want to see how much I can raise the price slowly with my current no review status before my sales start to dip.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Paulie's already on the floor at that point. not to mention the other released clip McGregor had a field day on him. Paulie actually looked out of it in the clinch

    Coconut oil vs canola oil

    HEALTH 
    Where does it say coconut oil is unhealthy? There was a bogus article that made its around the internet a few months ago but all the research points to numerous benefits of MCT of coconut oil, not to mention it's anti viral, fungal and bacterial.

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    Ended the day yesterday with 7 sales. Record high so far. I'm selling more and have overtaken the #3 competitor, who wasnt very competitive to begin with. Competitor #1 and #2 are still holding strong but we are all on the same page. They have hundred of reviews and have been around much...

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    Assembled another box ready to ship to Amazon when the first unit gets low. Not going to send it in yet as I don't want to pay oversize storage. I'm getting a good learning experience with Amazon PPC. My ACOS was as high as 60% two days ago, absurd. The report lags a little though. Yesterday I...

    GOLD! 
    Paypal is good for samples and small orders. I used Trade Assurance by alibaba for my actual order of a few thousand $ once I paid him for the samples and it went OK. Paypal has a ridiculous 5-6% fee with chinese suppliers so for larger orders its usually steep

    Thanks, yeah I increased the bids and I'm playing around with different keywords now. Definitely need an advertising budget in the beginning to collect some data.

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    The facebook groups posts I'm seeing after the 2016 shutdown of incentivized reviews, is for someone to post their product and if someone wants it, they PM the person directly their paypal address for the rebate. So once the review is up, the seller sends the person money back after the person...

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    Thanks, I'm still learning the platform. Currently selling at a loss and hopefully will have about 3-5 reviews from friends posted. It's a competitive niche but it's a subniche or a variation in that niche. So if I'm selling in for example, the kids toys niche, I would be selling in the teddy...

    FB PPE Ads - All likes.. no conversions

    MARKETING 
    PPC has a higher probability of engagement, which means people are likely to share and comment. It depends on your product. I had 2 sales in my last ecommerce store using PPC using IG. WC costs more initially and the reason why people say to start with PPE is because PPE helps to give you some...

    2 Sales before noon! I'm trying to update every day. Since 2 years ago, I've been using Google Keep to take notes and a list of my things to do, EVERY SINGLE DAY. Errands, phone calls, whatever. Accomplish something no matter how little every day. Yesterday: - As an update to yesterday's...

    First True Venture into Importing & Growing a Business

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    Quick update: - F*ck google shopping. So many stupid rules and no customer support. I'm putting that on hold. - Adwords not doing great, need to figure out what's wrong. Might manually pull keywords, automatic isn't doing much. Lots of impressions some clicks, but CTR is terrible, less than 1%...
