    Google search has now slowed me down!

    RANT 
    I hate it. I noticed that a lot of the search has been localized. Try searching for an international partner that you work with. You won't be able to find them even though they ranked up top before. The search results have changed to heavily local focused.

    Amazon is not worth it, I've failed and therefore, it works for NOBODY. Yes, NOBODY!

    HOT! EXECUTION RANT 
    What a stupid thread. People obviously make money on Amazon. It's not the easiest money (my argument), but it obviously does exist. OP sucks.

    Should I stop watching the news?

    HOT! 
    Haven't watched in ten years. Found that it has no impact on my life. Only made up stress. However, it's important to note that there's two propaganda theories on news: The news is used as a machine to brainwash you (to think like certain governments, businesses, etc want you to think). The...

    EXECUTION 
    Nice! I'll be the first to call you out. Your mom and sister is action-faking unless they spent 4-figures+ on the product you're selling per year. How'd your interviews go today? Best of luck.

    How Do You Think About Your Ecommerce Strategy?

    HOT! 
    Nothing overcomplicated about it. If you're going to sell a product, then you need to line up the sales before the product itself. This is the correct way to launch a product: 1. Who am I going to sell to and how? 2. What product can I sell them? This is the wrong approach that most people...

    Why Amazon Sucks: The Master Thread

    HOT! 
    This. You need some sort of protection. That could be an extremely strong brand. However, for most commoditized or yet to be commoditized products, brand doesn't mean much. Introduce a new innovative product? No patent? How long before someone sees the margins, your sales numbers, and snags...

    Why Amazon Sucks: The Master Thread

    HOT! 
    There's no doubt that Amazon as a channel is a profitable avenue. However, the question is: how much profit relative to work? And how does that ratio compare to other avenues? There's dozens of channels that are a lot higher EV for the majority of products. For ecommerce businesses, something...

    HOT! 
    By the way, I'm not saying there's no money on Amazon. But for the average person there is not. The average person that starts an Amazon business today will fail and will waste their time. Very few people hit those top percentiles where they're making anything significant. To get there, you...

    The data set it's based on was created in support of Amazon and why selling on Amazon is good. When you dive into the numbers, they're far from that. Your argument is "There's other numbers out there, and because of that, these numbers are bullshit, and this thread is worthless." I'm sure...

    Now onto theory... Here's why I think "selling on Amazon" is one of the worst business models out there: Everyone knows how much you sell Everyone knows what you sell Everyone knows what you sell it for Everyone knows who you sell it to With a little research they know what you buy it for And...

    Let's continue with the JungleScout data set. They asked sellers "Will selling on Amazon be profitable in 2020?" And here's the response that they got ... Nearly all sellers (92%) said they plan to continue selling on Amazon in 2020, and 72% are optimistic that selling on Amazon will be a...

    New Sellers earn between $26,000 to $810,000 per year in profit

    No one here took the time to look at the numbers in that article. To summarize: the headline of this thread, and the presentations made in that article are bullshit. Using the data they provided, the average person doesn't make any significant money on Amazon. I went ahead and spent two hours...

    The purpose of this thread is to present real, concrete facts and numbers on why starting a business on Amazon might be the absolute dumbest, lowest ROI thing you could do. It's not based on anecdotes. It's not based on hypotheticals. It's based around numbers published by one of the most...

    New Year's Goals are Stupid

    MINDSET RANT 
    Same here. I've started to dislike weekends and holidays - and I think below is the reason why. When you start running your own business, and create a sense of time freedom, then weekends don't mean the same thing anymore. You can take any day off. Take a vacation whenever. A "holiday" is no...

    Need Recommendations on Carpets, Custom cabinets and wall art dropshipping

    These are horrible products for drop shipping. Wall art you can do on the commoditized end. Anything under $100. Above that and there's way too many moving parts for it to work effectively. 99% fail rate above that price point would be my guess. China would be my go to for oversupplied run of...

    Does anyone count calorie intake?

    HEALTH 
    Weigh each ingredient on a scale. Put it into the system Toss it into whatever you're making. Then when you're done making whatever you're cooking, weigh it to figure out how many calories/macros are there per gram. You can then create a recipe in Myfitnesspal. Instead of weighing each...

    Does anyone count calorie intake?

    HEALTH 
    MyFitnessPal + This: MyFitnessPal isn't enough for counting calories. You need to weigh and record exactly how much of something you're putting in. For example, 50 grams of peanut butter looks almost the same as 100 grams. That's why you need to scale. For me, counting "calories" (protein...
