    Why Amazon Sucks: The Master Thread

    HOT! 
    I'm sorry to say that your venture was doomed from the moment you chose to use Junglescout. To find something unique it must not simply be without any existing listings on Amazon, or anywhere for that matter. It has to be something that has real value to prospective users, and it must be very...

    Why Amazon Sucks: The Master Thread

    HOT! 
    Correct. The great majority of negative posts in this thread are aimed at either: 1. Those who like sheep follow the crowd and offer products that can easily be sourced by every man and his dog. 2. Those who fail to understand the value in the word unique. In both cases they are doomed to...

    Walter Hay's Business Books

    MARKETPLACE 
    I wish I could sell more books! The money is not the point. For the work I put into revising it each year I get a very poor return on my time. What bothers me is seeing people trying to source and import with insufficient or incorrect information, when for such a small amount for a book they...

    Sorry it is not available in any language except English. It is certainly relevant for Germany. If you go back to Post#1 you will see that I have added brief comments to the subjects in the contents list. This amounts to a very brief summary of what the book is about and the benefits of knowing...

    BEWARE WINDOWS 10 S mode (- solution)

    I have never had a problem with security because I have only used apps (now not acceptable to Microsoft) that have kept my computer safe. No viruses, no malware. I do not need to use Microsoft only apps, and I want the ability to choose for myself, not be dictated to by Microsoft. Walter

    BEWARE WINDOWS 10 S mode (- solution)

    After buying a brilliant new notebook I gradually discovered that it was operating on the latest Windows iteration. The latest Windows 10 S is a beast! The salesman didn't mention that the computer had that O/S, and it did not appear on the packaging. The purpose of S mode is supposedly to...

    Why Amazon Sucks: The Master Thread

    HOT! 
    This thread is filled with doom and gloom, so it is good to see this and a few other posts that show that it really is possible to do well on Amazon. Much of the critical and negative stuff that has been posted only serves to show that if you take the wrong approach you won't succeed. That...

    Trading with suppliers in Turkey is relatively easy, because they are not only very keen exporters, but the country's export system is very well set up. If you have a copy of my book, see under Turkey in Chapter 8.3 Finding Exporters In Other Countries. If you don't have it, let me know and I...

    Google search has now slowed me down!

    RANT 
    I only use Duck Duck Go. It actually produces results relevant to my search. And there is that big bonus of privacy and avoiding Google's tracking. They use that so they can show you what you should look at, even when you know it is totally irrelevant. Walter

    You will find the answer in Ch 12, specifically 12.2. It should work for you in testing the market. Walter

    My opinion of the Amazon Marketplace

    NOTABLE! 
    The difference I see is EKTOS trying to sell on facts and price, while Wooly Mammoth are selling on emotions, but I don't discount their excellent website and great copy in their story. Emotions will always triumph over facts. Walter

    Have you searched Google lately?

    MARKETING 
    I have given up on using the Google advertising search engine. I don't want to bother scrolling through masses of adverts until I finally discover some search results related to my question. Like @ZZZ, I only use DuckDuckGo and while a small number of adverts appear it is primarily devoted to...

    I Am Being Blackmailed - Need Help

    I would register a new domain name that is a small variation on the one you have been using. Then simply ignore the scum bag, and if your current domain name is not renewed, acquire it again. Walter

    Avoiding losing out to PayPal

    EXECUTION 
    You can't operate a business PayPal account unless you link either your bank account or credit card. One of the conditions for having a PayPal Business account is that you allow them the right to withdraw funds from your linked CC or linked bank account. This is to cover any shortfall if say...

    Avoiding losing out to PayPal

    EXECUTION 
    My son in law has read many reports of PayPal emptying bank accounts and it has made him nervous, so I searched the forum and found Bank account tied to PayPal? Beware. As a result I suggested that he remove his CC details from his PayPal account, and transfer the bulk of his bank account to...

    Why Amazon Sucks: The Master Thread

    HOT! 
    That is an important question. The answer is: Those who know the value of a customer and will go the extra mile. This was one of the most difficult things I had to teach my new franchisees. By way of example I told them about my response to a small customer who complained about faulty products...

    Let's talk about franchising

    HOT! 
    I have written my book from personal experience. I licensed my chemical business (similar to franchising) long before I sold it, and when my importing and B2B business started to grow too fast for my family to handle the growth, I franchised it out. Selling franchises was easy because I had a...
