    EXECUTION 
    Both of the sites have products that have MAP so that helps to protect the margins to some extent. They are also unique type products so I don’t think there is as much shopppng around as it’s harder to compare since the products I’m selling are unique.

    EXECUTION 
    That’s always a concern but the second site comes with three supplier selling similar items so should happen often. First site only has one supplier but I’ve already secured two more in the same niche. If one item is out of stock I will email the customer explain the issue and ask if they would...

    Ok so quick update. Escrow.com takes a while to clear the payments the first time you use them so I’ve been mainly waiting on that. Site number 2 I have almost everything transferred and get the Shopify staff account yesterday so I got to see “under the hood”. Based on his site layout and...

    EXECUTION 
    Honestly... no I wouldn’t. I’ve got a decent amount of Shopify experience under my belt and looking at the sites I know I can improve them massively. If it was my first site I had ever run then I’m sure hand holding would be helpful but I’ve set up 5 Shopify sites before these 2 so I know what...

    The Future is in Plastics!

    Knock?... what knock? The first real thread you’ve ever created had you yelling about how you know the future and then the thread asks a question that literally has no right or wrong answer... pretty sure that coming into someone’s house and randomly yelling while asking for help describes what...

    Your worst entrepreneurial failure... details please!

    NOTABLE! 
    Ok so there have been many small failures along the way but this would be one of the earlier ones that really hurt at the time. I was browsing Craigslist business and came across what seemed like an amazing deal. Someone was selling their inventory from the business they were closing. I had...

    Your worst entrepreneurial failure... details please!

    NOTABLE! 
    Take your knowledge of clothing, styles, etc. and turn it into a real business. You can still sell on eBay but if you have 300 of one item then you don’t have to keep creating new listings. You can also set up a website and start a clothing brand... I did this exact thing with eBay a few years...

    EXECUTION 
    Wonder if it works? Try it! What’s the worse case scenario? You are out $29 and some time? Build one, throw it up and see if it sells. If it does then great. You can decide if the time invested is worth the money or not. If it doesn’t sell then close the store and you are only out $30-100...

    Is there a constant fear in the back of your mind even if you're a successful Entrepreneur?

    Yeah it probably isn’t the best investment in the world tbh as market is honestly pretty high in Arizona and is probably headed towards a correction but it certainly helps me sleep at night knowing if the world turns upside down I’m still miles ahead of most 30 year olds.

    Bought 2 new websites from Shopify Exchange

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah that’s my guess as well. The one site said that it was a change in jobs and didn’t have time for it. It is the lower revenue generator and the one with no abandoned cart stuff set up so I don’t think they exactly know what they are doing lol. The other one I agree that it isn’t lack of...

    Bought 2 new websites from Shopify Exchange

    EXECUTION 
    They definitely have a bunch of crap on there to sort through and I wouldn’t recommend buying a site that dropships from aliexpress. Most of those sites are easy to spot because they have one giant spike and then nothing before or after. They found one product that sold, sold as much as...

    EXECUTION 
    Traffic is however much you want to spend. Not sure of exact numbers until I start running traffic to it but I suspect $100-$200 a day per site is a good guess to begin with. Price of a store I just went off of what they had it priced at and then went from there. The one store I paid their...

    Bought 2 new websites from Shopify Exchange

    EXECUTION 
    Yes, the numbers can be gamed on the Shopify backend for sure. That is the main reason why I wanted stores with a decent history and not one big spike but instead many months of data. It would be much harder to come up with 3-4 years of sales history than to just create a huge spike. I also...

    My main business I stock inventory. The 2 new ones are dropshipping but USA distributors not aliexpress crap.

    Bought 2 new websites from Shopify Exchange

    EXECUTION 
    I have a relatively successful business that grosses 1-1.5 million a year but I can't seem to grow it past that. The niche is super competitve which I think is part of the reason I can't get it much past that point. I have been trying to decide on what new business to start to run along side...

    Is there a constant fear in the back of your mind even if you're a successful Entrepreneur?

    For me the super simple thing that I have done to alleviate that fear is create multiple income streams as well as decrease my cost of living. What I mean by that is my house and cars are paid off entirely. If the economy crashes tomorrow and I never sell another dime of items online I can...

    The Future is in Plastics!

    It’s a metaphor... just like I wouldn’t walk into a strangers house and start shouting my opinion with absolutely no prior discussion while simultaneously asking them for help, I also wouldn’t go on a forum and do it.

    The Future is in Plastics!

    It’s George Bailey!! He finally realized after all these years that plastics is where it’s at. On a serious note do you normally go to people’s houses, knock on the door and yell about the future while simultaneously asking questions that literally don’t have a right or wrong answer? Where...

    Why should I have kids?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    To me my kids and wife are my why. The reason I get up and work on my business. The reason I am In the fast lane at all. Sure kids can sometimes be a pain. They cost you sleep, they cost you money, and they can even cost you “freedom” but to me there is nothing better than walking down the...
