    Reminds me of @Vigilante 's licensing thread. Wonder what the percentages are for a product like this.

    FBA and Importing Goods From China

    HOT! SOURCING 
    You could: -search for products based on sales rank, looking not for the top selling items but items selling in the middle of the pack (less competition, usually better margins, e.g. take a look at sports and outdoor products over $25 that are ranked between 80k and 110k) -put your own brand on...

    FBA and Importing Goods From China

    HOT! SOURCING 
    Amazon rewards those who agree to give Amazon more of their money. Don't be suprised that when you start giving Amazon more money (via use of FBA, pro seller account, etc.) that they will start "favoring" your product in the form of higher SERP rankings. That said, you really have to match...

    FBA and Importing Goods From China

    Look at your competitors (the ones on the first page of the keywords you want to rank for) pay special attention to the keywords/language they use in the their title copy. Try to incorporate as much of that into your title as possible, while still in a sentence/phrase format (you can't just list...

    Jason's How to Build Wealth & Golden Nuggets

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Especially since you are already on the phone with them. Other companies would pay huge for that - especially if you could do a "warm lead transfer" where you connect them live with the other company via 3 way call. You could charge hundreds just for that sort of lead alone. In fact there is...

    At what point do you pursue a different niche?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    How do you know that people want what you are selling? Why would they buy from you vs. Amazon?

    How did you choose your market?

    Neither. It's an interactive accountability and real-world rewards system based on individual and team fitness/weight maintenance accomplishments.

    How did you choose your market?

    My amazon "business" (I use the term loosely) I sort of backed into, borne from the failure of my ecommerce store and some guidance from an Amazon millionaire who told me "sell this one thing on Amazon, forget the rest." I've done decently with that as some side income. I have a plan to grow...

    "You Rich Doctors Only Care About Money"

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    In fairness to the patient, he doesn't know that you are different than other specialties and get paid by the hour/flat rate and not by the procedure or prescription. I think we can all agree that there are a number of specialties where doctors run up the juicy billable tests and expensive...

    At what point do you pursue a different niche?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    The question is too broad - we'd need to look at the kind of traffic you're getting, the traffic sources, the ads you may or may not be running, the website itself, the product selection, comparables on Amazon, the checkout process....the list goes on. Perhaps you should make an insiders post...

    So you want to get into affiliate marketing...

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    Do you mind digging into this a little bit? Why do you still have jars of your stuff if you now know how to sell it? From a product perspective, it sounds like you and the other guy had the exact same product - was the reason he was able to pay so much because the mud was a part of a larger...

    What's your job ? What do you do?

    HOT! 
    Back in the day I patrolled the mean streets of Richmond as an EMT. I decided to put up some reminders in my cube at the day job that I occasionally did interesting, dynamic and (once in a while) important work. It's also a reminder to all that pass that yes, the Yankees do suck.

    @mikekob 's software may very well have/will play a huge role in just this sort of patient. He's working on some very exciting stuff!

    "The One Thing"....excellent book

    BOOKS 
    I really enjoyed that book. It, in addition to The Power of Habit, have been quite life changing. Making a daily habit of doing only the most important things has accelerated my business and personal ventures.

    Starting a Private nursing business in the future

    See you at B&P then :) OP - I've done some work with at-home nursing care companies. The regulations at the state and federal levels are complex. My recommendation would be to work in the field for a year or two to get a feel for the clinical side, and then try to get exposure to the operations...

    Getting lost in travel... from your desk.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    When I was exploring a business regarding vacation rentals, I learned that perhaps the most important and expensive intellectual property the property management companies had was the images of their houses. They paid full-time salaries for photographers, aggressively protected copyright on...

    Starting a Private nursing business in the future

    The sad reality is that nursing homes are evaluated by the feds (CMS) in part on the number of times they call 911/have medical emergencies (poor performing nursing homes may lose their ability to bill medicare, expose themselves to audits, and may lose their state certifications to operate)...
