    Buying and selling Powersports for a profit?

    That goes both ways. If you were a successful entrepreneur, and someone walked up to you one day and said show me how you became a successful entrepreneur, how would you react? That's basically what you just did. Instead, try purposefully flipping some things, then come back and tell us what...

    The Gas Pump thread

    HOT! 
    I was thinking about this and think it may actually get more sales. I travel often, and if I am in a hurry, I'll stop to get gas but skip going in because I don't have the time. But if I can give someone a buck or two to handle that for me so I can go in, I'd do it for sure. I don't think...

    You don't need a website, you need sales

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I am just getting around to actually reading through this thread. But @Andy Black is correct. You don't need a website, you need sales. I am selling on Amazon. I had been making excuses for why I wasn't trying to get more sales from a channel other than Amazon, one excuse being my website...

    The "Travelocity" of the Outdoors

    You said you hunt, fish, etc., but then focused on providing fishing info. Have you looked at the hunting side? I would be interested in a service that connected a hunter like me with someone in a state with big deer and I could rent their property for a week or whatever. You could have guided...

    Biophase - 2018 Ecommerce/Amazon Business Coaching Program

    MARKETPLACE 
    I took the course this year. It was amazing. I now look at business in entirely new ways. I evaluate what consumers are asking for much more clearly, and I communicate that I am offering what they are asking for in an effective way. After identifying my first product in Feb. 2018, it took...

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    I didn't see a response to branding books. That's where my mind is right now. I am selling products, but it needs to go beyond just offering things for sale. I was about to order Story Brand by Donald Miller, but read reviews that it skimps on some important pieces about implementation and...

    Opportunities in a changing city

    I live in what I think is a small area, about 44k population right now, and for a long time, it was rural, with little in the way of shopping, entertainment, restaurants, etc, and mostly poor people living here. In the past few years, that's changed drastically. There are some huge stores here...

    Sourcing Alibaba (Product Creation)

    SOURCING 
    @Walter Hay Concerning cost difference between China and US manufacturers, does that only apply to someone making a new product that requires significant customization, or across all products? I've recently was looking at something to which I wanted to make some minor changes. I found...

    Sun Tan Tattoo

    If you have a product worth stocking, I think a retailer would want to stock it. I don't think you would need to be concerned about relying on big tanning chains, since I have seen many tanning places that are a one-off location or regional at best (5-10 stores in an area). Entry is easy in...

    Sun Tan Tattoo

    Maybe you don't have these in the UK, but I saw them in a gym that also had tanning back in 2011. There are some available on Amazon and other websites. Searching tanning stickers is how I found most of the results. For example: Your Ultimate Tanning Help - Where to Buy Tanning Stickers? I...

    Is that an Expert Marksman badge? Nice.

    Sound big or sound authentic?

    Sound big to suppliers so they take you serious (some may not want to deal with new, small businesses) For your customers, be (not just sound) authentic. Have a genuine interest in them and how you’re making their life better by providing them your service or product. For competitors, I...

    Joining the Army to get my shit straight

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    That is the most important advice you can ever get about the military. I got everything in writing. I made 10 copies of it, and I kept it in a file box. After active duty, I went to the reserves. Since I was leaving active, I was offered three years in the reserves instead of the normal six...

    Do you have a local for sale paper or website in your country? You can still meet people wherever you are. If you are trying not to meet people anywhere, I guess you could try buying and selling on eBay, although I think that’s different strategies than flipping locally.

    Joining the Army to get my shit straight

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Like you, and others, I joined for the same reasons. Best decision I ever made. From a life quickly going the wrong way to having a direction and the means to make it happen, it was a phenomenal journey. Concentration, willpower, and discipline. You will have it in spades. I took advantage of...

    GOLD! 
    Can you get back into it now? Yes, the traveling can be a headache, but if you don't want to deal with large items like appliances and furniture, you don't have to. You aren't wrong for taking on a job to have consistent income, especially since you had a kid. I read the first post of your...
