    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    I probably interact with around 10% of customers before they spend a dime. They will email or call with a question. (Most common question right now is will it arrive before Christmas) I answer emails within minutes of receiving them 18 hours a day. How secure do you think that makes the customer...

    Need help with $100,000,000... Believe it or Not- I need help.

    EXECUTION 
    As a person who should clear near 3/4 of a million in profit this year, I would never do this in a million years. If I am spending any large amount of money for rent/house payment (5k, 10k, 50k etc. a month) I would want the privacy of my own home/apartment. I have a hard time believing...

    I market using Google Adwords, bing ads, and a few other ways. I have different categories that my products fall under so I have different categories on my website. I advertise for each specific product and the ad directs to that products page. From there they can obviously browse in the same...

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    I have a website hosted by shopify. I have a separate campaign for each product. That campaign is product specific and directs to that exact product page as well. I outsource SEO work. I don't have the time or the knowledge to do it. Basically I learned Adwords through their info and trial and...

    Happy to help. 1. Selecting products is still about the same. I am currently running a little bit of everything type site but I am going to start niche specific sites and start separating them into totally separate businesses. The end goal is to sell each business within the next 3 years and...

    Running multiple businesses?

    A steep learning curve makes for a great barrier to entry. Honestly only you can answer when to pull the plug. What has to happen to get you profitable? What can you do to make that happen? Are you burnt out because the business is not working or burnt out because there are no profits? If you...

    Running multiple businesses?

    Sounds like you are more working a job than owning the business. 3 years of working for free? No profits at all? Not sounding like a business that I would want to be running either especially if I hated every second of it! I have 2 businesses currently and both have been profitable since day...

    Who's gonna pay for it? (Why those evil 1% hoarders!)

    HOT! 
    I am ashamed of the majority of people in my generation. They are all about taking from others to better their own life because they are too lazy to fix their life by themselves. There is always an excuse for why they can't do something. (The 1%, high cost of living, it won't work now etc.) They...

    Found out the products I'm selling on my website are on Amazon/Ebay

    How competitively are your products priced? They don't have to be the cheapest option around but if other sites are selling the exact same product as you and you are double or triple their price you won't sell many or any. Whether your website will be able to compete is impossible to guess...

    You need to talk to a tax professional and see what they recommend. PayPal does send you an end of the year total of all the sales you have made which is a huge help.

    Found out the products I'm selling on my website are on Amazon/Ebay

    65 clicks is not even close to enough data to make a decision. Many people won't buy from Amazon or eBay because they have had a bad experience there or because they like to support small businesses. A couple of things about your site. Add a contact us page at the top (can be done through...

    1. It shouldn't be any problem to get an invoice. Just message you supplier and have him email it to you or include it in the package. I've never had an issue getting one. 2. I use mainly Adwords to drive traffic to my site. I do use Facebook but I mainly use it as a way for existing customers...

    I use shopify. It is super easy to set up and they take care of literally everything. If you can use the Internet you can set up a site on shopify.

    Feeling sleepy and unconcentrated

    MINDSET 
    If you are felling tired and worn down a change in diet might do the trick. In January I was almost 300 lbs (I'm 6'1"). I was always sluggish and never seemed to get enough done. I started a diet/exercise and lost 30lbs over a few month period. Slacked off over the summer on the diet and felt...

    I started selling on my own site for a couple of reasons. Control is probably the biggest one. When you sell on Amazon or eBay you are at the mercy of their changing rules or fees. The other reason is return buyers. If I make someone happy they will come back to my site. If I make them happy on...

    3. There is no shortcut to building reviews or feedback. You get to the first page of "best match" on eBay by good feedback or by being one of the only people selling that item. 4. I personally start with aliexpress or dhgate for samples. Alibaba takes a lot more hassle to make the first...

    1. I currently sell mainly through my own website. I sell 5 products on Amazon and between 80-100 on my site. I do not currently have anything listed for sale on eBay and probably won't ever go back to selling on there. If you have never sold online before I agree started on eBay is better...

    Amazon vs. EBay

    MARKETING 
    If you are brand new to selling online eBay is a good place to start. They are much more forgiving of sellers mistakes than Amazon. You can sell items at a much higher price on Amazon. You have scammers that take advantage of sellers on both sites. Amazon's buyers are much more particular. (Just...

    I would agree that is a huge advantage over many companies. We ship all items out within 24hours so most items are received within 2-3 days. We also have the best possible customer service. All emails are answered within minutes and telephone calls are answered by a real person. That is...
