Need input on opening bank account & credit card for business
Hey all, I launched my business less than a month ago. I've been working on it for the last 6-8 months: sourcing, going through samples, ordering, etc. During all of this time, I've been using my own credit cards for the footwork. At this point, I am thinking of opening a bank account and...- Wisith

So you want to move to Scottsdale?
MEETUPSMy friend in PHX sent me a pic and its around 119F. I'm in LA and it was 102F at 10AM today. I noticed that a lot of the office workers are using delivery apps more during this weather because they don't wanna brave the weather. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Wisith

GOLD!Hey Kenric, I've been thinking about this for a while now and wanted to get your two cents: If you were going to start your own brand and send into Amazon, would you just rely on pictures, copy writing and the product itself to sell? I've read and heard the rules have changed. You can't...- Wisith

GOLD!My website launched last week. I haven't done any marketing at all. So far 6 sales just from word of mouth. Mailed out about 60% of my items to Amazon this morning since I finally got approved. I found out that emailing is the best route, and if you don't get a reply in due time, just keep...- Wisith

GOLD!Thanks for this, brother. Amazon still has the worst customer service to me. I signed back onto my account today, and looked at the "Manage FBA Shipments" tab. It looks different. It actually shows the amount of fee Amazon will take. I can also continue to work on my shipment. Just need to...- Wisith

GOLD!Hey Kenric, Since you're moving huge numbers, have you ever thought about selling to businesses or distributors directly? I'm still a small fish but I was looking at that avenue as a potential route. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Wisith

GOLD!Hey Kenric, Have you had any bad experience with Amazon? My product uses a very small battery to power it. I tried to list them on AmaZon last week and got a message saying it has to go through Haz Mat review. I called Amazon and was told it should take 4 days max. 4 business days went by and...- Wisith

Making Money For Dummies (And In a Crowded Market)
GOLD! HOT!For a common job, you wouldn't sub-contract, especially if you're bootstrapping. If you do, your costs will sky rocket like crazy. I've used agencies to find something specific, ie licensed phlebotomists experienced in drawing the elderly where their blood may stop flowing during draws. There...- Wisith

Making Money For Dummies (And In a Crowded Market)
GOLD! HOT!Yes, I agree. A lot of the websites for businesses owned by older folks usually look poorly done. It runs across all industries from what I've seen....from pest control to nail saloons to etc. They are definitely not learned in marketing. My expertise lies in risk management/safety...- Wisith

Company Grown from Instagram, And Now In Trouble? (Comm of Control)
MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIAInteresting thread. Wouldn't this apply to anyone relying solely on one sales channel? You're at the mercy of whomever, IG in this case.

GOLD!Thanks for your help, bud. On the list is to source a back up supplier in case this one bails out (that will be able to print custom packaging for me).
