    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Every wholesale list or wholesaler I found online by googling was either way overpriced, scammy, or wasn't in the US. I got more wholesalers info in 4 days at the trade show than I would have got in 20 years trying to google it.

    How do you combat "Friendly Fraud"?

    Literally all you can do is reply to each and every chargeback you receive. Send all the pertinent info and hope that the credit card company sides in your favor. It sucks! The online chargeback system needs to be redone as I lose far more money to people with friendly fraud than I do actual...

    Yep ASD. From the way they talked they were there to find retailers but in regards to working with those retailers on how to buy their products... nope.

    IMO the internet has taken the place of reading actual books. Except for a few books that I read in January when on vacation I haven't read a book at all this year. Have I read? Absolutely! I've spent hundreds of hours reading about marketing, SEO, Adwords optimizations, etc, etc, etc. Where did...

    It was a vender show in Vegas where people went to sell/buy stuff. Why would you want people to be aware of your brand if you don't want to sell it to them? Neither of the people were selling under their own brand either and the awareness that I got is that the companies are run by morons.

    That's a good question lol. My best guess is that they were both older (60+) and I'm in my 20s and they didn't think I was a real buyer. The other possibility is they just didn't want more business which then the question is why be a vender at a trade show.

    This is the exact reason I operate my own live chat. People ask questions they get the answers within seconds... the only issue is being in Arizona I miss the early morning east coast questions cause I'm sleeping lol.

    SEO in 2017, IT'S ALIVE!

    Nope definitely what they've been doing. I have 2 sites that are approximately the same age. One I hired SEO for the other I did not. The one without SEO is bring in barely any organic traffic. The one I paid for SEO is bringing in tons of organic visitors.

    SEO in 2017, IT'S ALIVE!

    I disagree. SEO done right is definitely not a waste of time or money but it is a long game many times. If you are looking for immediate results do PPC. SEO will take some time to see any results. I hired an SEO company about 18 months ago. I was hoping they would have rankings up for...

    I think the biggest thing in this thread is he was given ideas to build a site that people actually need... and couldn't get past his hang up that the site he made wasn't needed. BTW I just recently starting looking to buy an SUV with 3rd row seating... it really isn't that complicated to...

    Funny thing... I just got back from a trade show and I had two venders that literally wouldn't tell me how to buy items from them! They had products I wanted to carry on my websites. They had prices that left me reasonable margins. The one vender literally wouldn't tell me how to buy his...

    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    I choose niches based on how big the market is and how many sales I can get per item. I don't want a super popular niche that is going to crash and burn in the next few months. I want something that people will be purchasing for a few years at minimum.

    Ecommerce Selling Branded Products on Shopify Compete?

    I have some that sell 75-100 a week but a decent number of my products only sell a few a week yes. My margins on the other hand average $20-$30 an item. If I was making $2 per item I would not carry anything that had low volume.

    I build an different ad for each product and direct the ad to the specific product pages. I would not use broadmatch at all. Use phrase, exact, or broad match modifier. Broad match just brings in way too much oddball stuff. Broad match on bing ads is even worse.

    Actually not much at the beginning. We both had very similar backgrounds and skills at the time. Today... yeah I have tons of skills he doesn't have because I learned them while growing the business. (Sorry for sidetracking your thread btw.)

    I'm know I'm late to the party but just a quick bit of personal experience on this. I had a friend who I helped set up a website for at almost the exact same time I set up my website. I helped him get advertising running taught him how to add products the entire bit. The friend decided his...
