    Newbie Importing and Selling on Amazon

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    @Arguin as BusinessBen says, you can start selling as an individual; certainly on Amazon.co.uk. This is what I did, I'm just going through the upgrade process to be a business on Amazon. I only need at UK bank account to sell to the rest of the EU via Amazon. [I think that German business...

    Newbie Importing and Selling on Amazon

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    @Arguin - stop making excuses and just do it ;-) and find out how it goes. Start on Amazon.co.uk. I speak minimal French in addition to my native English (I am English). I've got one item that sells well on Amazon UK, I've had the listing and my product leaflet translated into French, Spanish...

    I've seen the same status-car thing with Malaysian students at a Scottish University.

    European distribution of US product

    2 thoughts: I have no experience of importing from the US apart from personal purchases. However my thoughts might be useful. These will not answer your larger question but I'm sure they're relevant. 1) Use Amazon FBA to deliver the goods across the EU, probably starting on Amazon.co.uk, but...

    Should I focus on high school or business?

    I think having your High School Diploma is a good idea; you never know when it might be a good box to have ticked. (What if you wanted to take a particular job so you could learn a new skill at someone else's expense, but their minimum entry qualification was a High School Diploma?) @Buntsace...

    What camera do you use for product photography?

    Plenty of instructions online about how tomake a lightbox. e.g. http://www.wikihow.com/Create-an-Inexpensive-Photography-Lightbox However when I looked at the cost and time to make one, I just bought a pop-up one on eBay for about £16 - again a random find...

    I did, though I'd had to undo my decision to come to AZ by the time the tickets went on sale. Just sayin'!

    Question for Business Owners !

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Oh yes! ...while you're (trading garden statues) your mistakes will be small with minimal damage...but you will learn the same lessons as if you'd blown $10,000 on a business.

    Question for Business Owners !

    HOT! MINDSET 
    @Peakdesire “You can't plow a field simply by turning it over in your mind.” The only tip I have is to start something, anything, start small - get into a tiny thing, like (bad imaginary example) buying garden statues at yard sales and on Craig's list and re-selling on eBay. You can dump...

    Competitive... too competitive?

    EXECUTION 
    @botnickguy I know you said you didn't need people to play therapist...but my thought is that, at least you are aware of how you're feeling - and that's a powerful place to be, because many, many people never get to that point. One way to change your fears is to "Fake it 'til you make it"; if...

    UK Based Call Answering Service?

    Only a suggestion; I have never used such a company, (though I did look into it for a previous business) merely seen this lot recommended on a UK business forum a few times: http://answer-it.co.uk/

    Christmas Beard Decorations

    FUNNY 
    One for @pickeringmt - blog entry maybe ;-) Note that the profits from sales of these go to an Australian melanoma charity - a pretty dumb idea otherwise. Disclaimer - I don't know if these 2 UK newspaper sites are available in the US? The 3rd link should work if not...

    Got the wrong target audience .. how can I benefit from them?

    MARKETING 
    If I'd had a good idea, I'd have posted it ;-) If I have understood your "untapped niche" correctly, do you think these people spend money on nutritional supplements (eventually, once they trust you). Doesn't have to be your own supplements, but you could call it lead generation and find a...

    Pharaoh could have called it an "untapped niche" rather than "wrong target audience"?

    Newbie Importing and Selling on Amazon

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    I third @JAJT. What I've been noticing in how few Amazon sellers put much copy on their listings at all. There often isn't even a complete description. A longer description suggests that the seller is an expert on the product (as you surely are), not just an opportunist who sees similar...

    Learning Mandarin Chinese

    Even if you just learn a word of vocabulary, it all adds up. I have done OK in many countries with "I don't speak [language]" plus the words for coffee, beer and a few foodstuffs. Plus please and thank you of course. I realise that it's not that simple sometimes, Chinese would be a good...

    What is your personality? Find it out with a quick test!

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Yes - Your 4 traits are being plotted on a graph, you will be more or less biased to one "end" of each trait. A classification system like this, being artificial, classifies everyone into a definite group, some people will tend to the extremes of each trait; or not. For example, I think I was...

    Thoughts on Cars (subtitle... why you should not buy a Lamborghini)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I don't care much about cars, though I can see they can be sexy. I love my old Civic - easy to pick up older models with low mileage (old man's car), cheap to insure, cheap to run, reliable as anything, comfortable. I considered buying an A3 before I bought the Civic, (typical car for a woman...
