    GOLD! 
    Hey G_Alexander, just wondering, is there any reason why you Dropship your products instead of purchasing them from a manufacturer in bulk? Is it because the drop shipper can offer lower shipping costs? Also, do you plan to create your own brand products in the future?

    Taking action in E-commerce after a shaky medical report

    FTE EXECUTION 
    I don't think @theag was saying to become a supplier (correct me if I'm wrong). I think he was just saying that dropshipping doesn't sound like the right path for you too take and neither does selling other people's products. When I drop shipped I found it to be unreliable. The amount of times...

    This is a top quality post and I completely agree. When I went to a business event a few weeks back one key note speakers words stood out to me. He used the following sentence at the end of his speech and repeated it 3 times... 'if the pain of where you're at is not great enough, you will not...

    GOLD! 
    This is the bit that stands out to me: 'I built my ecommerce site late at night during the last few months of my job. I would get home at 11pm or 12am and then work until 2am or 3am on my site (loading product, back-end, learning basic HTML and CSS, SEO). I constructed the site using only the...

    Intro and My First Executed Idea

    IDEA 
    No problem, feel free to PM me, would be great to chat. I need to update my thread lol. I actually think I've been doing things slowly. Could have had the product for sale like a month or more ago but I realise the mistakes I've made and I'm happy I made them. That's a great way to look at the...

    Hey @RichyV you made the right choice with paying for insiders, the info is incredible. It's good to have a fellow Welshman on these forums. I'm from a town just outside of Cardiff. We are quite similar actually. Though I'm not at the same level as you with engineering I did mechanical...

    Another thing I find crazy is you the fact you only ever spent $200 on advertising. You could probably scale your biz like crazy if you mastered Adwords and even Facebook ads.

    @MichaelGrey congratulations! What you have done is really impressive! You did that in 15 months, imagine what you can do in 24 or 36. Hard work definitely pays off! I've set myself a goal of 100k in 12 months but reading this I am perhaps aiming too low. I should probably look at it like you...

    @Scott Bradley It sounds like your very similar to me. I'm 25 and a few years ago I was exactly the same. Desperate for money, playing around with eBay, social media and websites but really struggling to figure out why my efforts weren't making me any money. I'm only now starting to see the...

    No problem Walter. I'm glad you have decided to hang around. I look forward to your next thread. The fact you are 'finalising a draft' tells me it's going to be great.

    I have had the chance to speak with @Walter Hay and his story is very intriguing. (I think you should start a thread or do an insider call, people would love to hear it) I have no doubt that his experience and knowledge will put him up there with the most valuable contributors on these forums...
