    Obsolete Hustles

    When I was 9 my older brother and I would cut down coconuts from our coconut trees and sell them to a local that my dad would drive us to. He would give us $.25 per coconut. Little did we know he would then turn around and sell them in New York for $10+. Stopped when nobody would buy coconuts...

    After 2 week vacation i'm finally back with an update. Hired a friend to ship out labels while I was gone. Sales picked up and now I average 6-7+ sales to my site per day. Discovered location targeting with adwords and turned it on yesterday heavily attacking certain areas. The results...

    So today I got angry at my AdWords account because the budget had been constantly running out. I was like "screw it lets ramp this baby up!" Set it to $140 and...hit new highs again in daily website sales with 8. (My budget ran out again) I basically broke even on this daily spend (in terms...

    Finally bought that product from the US manufacture. Bought over the phone which was a new experience. Briefly talked to another company (over the phone) about licensing their patent. Sounded like a complete buffoon. That was fun. Its a freely licensed thing but I just need to make sure I...

    Having adwords issues. Loosing money but slowly sculpting my campaign. Shot out an email to one of the larger players in my niche (we don't target the same consumer type). Trying to get licensing rights to one of their patents. If I do, it would allow me to double my product line and sell a...

    New website unit sales high (6 in 1 day) and total sales high $400+. I contribute this to my new product launch. Ordered 100 more units of the product I just order because I only have 4 left. A little nerve racking b/c this is the most money I have ever spent on anything in my life...

    Basically I have been treating this like a hobby and not a business. I haven't done a lot of things like set up and LLC, business bank account, etc... All stuff while not important in the beginning, is now starting to become relevant. You can read more here.

    Meet up in Texas

    MEETUPS 
    @amp0193 was only trying to emphasize the value of meetups through anecdotal evidence. Lashing out at someone who was trying to help is a completely unwarranted response.

    You Legally Need This To Sell!?!

    Just for clarification, since I do not have the accompanying business documentation I would be considered a "retail" customer even if i'm wholesaling. Correct? After talking with my dad, it looks like we're going to set up an LLC once I turn 18. Then I can get a federal EIN, business bank...

    Yes. Yes. To find my first product to sell on eBay I read this thread. Then I applied some of the methods used to research a product. Once you find a good product to sell, adding more to that niche becomes a little easier. Here are some notes that I took while reading: For whatever reason I...

    I have to say, this video provided me with tremendous value when I was first starting. This was the first time I was exposed to the fact that eCommerce even existed. I had been looking for a way to get into business, and this served as the inspiration for me to take that leap. However, I...

    You Legally Need This To Sell!?!

    I guess it may just be a policy of the manufacture. However, if hes willing to work with me even though I dont have those forms, I think I may be ok. Thanks for letting me know. In regards to the 1099. I may be mistaken, or it may be just be an eBay/Amazon thing. However, numerous sources have...

    You Legally Need This To Sell!?!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely give them a call. When you say you registered in Wyoming, did you physically go to Wyoming? Also, how does it give you more privacy?

    You Legally Need This To Sell!?!

    Chinese sourcing isnt to bad, you just have to watch out for the scammers. US sourcing has less scammers (I assume) but you have to watch out for bureaucracy. Yeah this kind of hit me out of the blue and im kinda flying by the seat of my pants right now! Hopefully you will be better...

    You Legally Need This To Sell!?!

    I'm only coming across this issue now because i'm trying to source in the US. Orders from China or not nearly as complicated as this. In business, no one knows/cares about whether you're an adult or not. I guarantee, however, they will assume you are an adult and treat you as such unless you...

    You Legally Need This To Sell!?!

    I sent the manufacture an email earlier today asking what type of licenses they had in mind so we will see what they say. If they ask for a tax ID I will call the manufacture and do what you suggested. I appreciate the help man!
