    Plush toy from design to prototype. Go with China or any other recommendations?

    SOURCING 
    Most reputable Chinese manufacturers will work with you to develop a prototype of a plush toy before you make an initial order. But you have to be willing to pay for it--say, 100 bucks, give or take, plus air courier fees. Or you could try this service: budsies.com

    AMAZON FBA - The Journey Begins

    EXECUTION

    HOT! HEALTH

But after about a week, all the withdrawal symptoms dissipated. Since quitting, when I wake up in the...

    Sharing my lifetime experience in export/import. Product sourcing specialist.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Howdy @Walter Hay, Congrats on publishing your 2018 edition of Proven China Sourcing. I'm sure it's excellent. You've probably already noticed this, but as far as I can tell Alibaba has removed the "Assessed Supplier" designation and replaced it with "Onsite Check." What do you make of this...

    Goldmine: terapeak tells you exactly what products people are looking for on Amazon/eBay.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    It looks like Terapeak was recently acquired by eBay. They don't seem to cover Amazon any longer. Is that true?

    What mobile data plan do you own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Red Pocket Mobile. $10/month for 500 minutes, 500 texts, and 500 MB data. On the AT&T network. More than enough bandwidth for someone who finds smartphones annoying.

    Viral Giveaways - Local Advertising Idea

    IDEA 
    Hey @Valor, Those are incredible results! 8 cents an email is ridiculously cheap. You're definitely on to something. I've been giveaways on Facebook with much less success. My sigup rate is more like $1.50. I've recently begun experimenting with using a Messenger bot and ManyChat to collect...

    I've made the decision to make millions and Travel the world, where to start?

    I'll paraphrase something MJ has said: to make millions, you have to serve millions with real value. If you want to live overseas, teach English. Or you could live in a country like India quite comfortably for a couple hundred bucks a month.

    SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    Welcome to the forum, @Cat Lady, from another Portlander who's also a relatively new arrival here. We're certainly not all Ferrarri-coveting bro-marketers! Great intro. You seem like a real doer.

    Which Online Courses Have Provided the Most Value to You?

    I needed to build a web app for a customer. At the time, I didn't know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript all that well. So I took Colt Steele's Web Development Bootcamp on Udemy. It cost $10. For the motivated, it's comparable to a $10,000 coding bootcamp. With the course's kickstart, I was able to build...
