    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 2)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    You can move your product much faster with FBA than with eBay. However, the two are very different. FBA is mostly new products only, unless they are collectibles. I found that I sold out my products in a week, or 2 weeks tops with FBA. People pay a premium because it's Amazon for the...

    Try audible.com. They have audiobooks and an app where you can listen on your smartphone. They are part of Amazon.com :)

    Door to door sale

    MARKETING 
    You could try trade shows or flea markets instead. It's not great for your reputation but you will have a better chance because people are more receptive to buying there. Sundays make the best days at flea markets, but there is always some foot traffic going around other days. Make sure to have...

    No worries. Start with a mock-up web design. It's basically a template of what you want it to look like. You could do this as a photoshop file or get someone on fivvr to do it for you. Then you go to a web developer that converts that psd file to the html/css that you need. Consider a CMS...

    Complete Newbie Here.

    Start by doing a website mock-up. Figure out what it is you want it to look like, if you have any photoshop skills, then put them to use. Look at other websites that are doing a similar thing to yours and take the best elements from them. Once you have a roadmap (how your website will look)...

    EXECUTION 
    I was actually concerned about taking time off during holidays after I read the Christmas thread. They have a very important point about having an edge working while everyone else takes time off. I guess there was a very emotional factor being a first time mom and having your baby's first...

    EXECUTION 
    Regarding selling on eBay... We have been selling everything we have to pay our bills. I did suggest listing our inventory on eBay to the husband, but he said it would be better to focus our efforts on our own website instead, where there is no 10% fee plus PayPal fee and we have higher profit...

    EXECUTION 
    We have taken great care in having a good working inventory system. Everything is accounted for, bagged, tagged and stored in a warehouse manner. This helps us find and fulfill orders faster and easier. Part of the reason we took so long is because building all this structure took time...

    EXECUTION 
    About fixing the prices... It's something we have to really re-think. Prestashop has been a hassle, and fixing every single price for every item takes forever. We are actually holding a meeting about this so that I can help listing items. I found the system really confusing and it's even worse...

    EXECUTION 
    **NOTE: I was writing from my husband's account and now I have my own. I'm sorry if that becomes confusing. Update: We feel like we missed out on the "holiday rush". We took very long to set-up and ended up missing out on Christmas sales. In the retail environment, this time is crucial. I made...

    Am I an unsupportive wife? Work-at-home parents

    PEOPLE 
    I really appreciate your story. I can't imagine it was easy. I think most of your responses gave me the inspiration to stop making excuses for the lack of commitment. I think it's a matter of sacrificing the present to reap the rewards in the future and to build this business for our family...

    Am I an unsupportive wife? Work-at-home parents

    PEOPLE 
    I finally created an account, since dinho7 wanted his own. I'm the wife. Yes, I began selling on Amazon/eBay and Craigslist as a side project. We have seen small trickles of income from there because our main focus is always our own website.
