    tl;dr - buy Walter's book :) I'm sure your book is great Walter. Nobody is knocking your book here... However, sourcing & importing is NOT the same as building a successful e-commerce brand/company. As you said - branding & marketing play a much bigger role in building successful companies...

    Awesome, congrats on taking action. Good move staying legal. But, I've been searching for a Government proof business model my whole life :) Tough question to answer, it's very difficult to expedite a mindset shift. I suppose just practice, practice, practice. Find some good content if you get...

    Awesome! It's a shame we have to deal with these things at all, but glad to hear you found a way around it. Every good entrepreneur knows, any obstacle can be turned into an advtantage. Awesome, would love to hear what you thought!

    If you don't validate your product, don't buy samples, and buy way too many - you can still succeed. You're just making it harder on yourself. If you want to identify and eliminate the obstacles and roadblocks that might kill you later (e.g. - My product tastes horrible, it gives some people...

    Haha, I'll at least do an eBook! Absolutely, couldn't agree with you more. I'd say you're right on an even greater level, selling is the main point of failure for most entrepreneurs. It's my opinion that the ability to market and sell something is the most important skill an entrepreneur can...

    How would execute this idea, step by step

    IDEA 
    Great advice here, always be sure you have ownership of your ideas and your work! I know somebody who made his boss a millionaire several times over with software he built in the little spare time he had. Tragic that these things are possible, but you have to be sure you watch out for them...

    Yea, I'd recommend 100% markup as a minimum target. Most of the time you'll get FOB pricing, which is referring to who's liability the shipping is. Usually, you'll either want to get UPS/DHL/TNT/etc to pick it up, or if you're shipping containers you'll go over Sea Frieght. Until that point...

    Sorry to hear that. You have to be very careful with these :-\ Yea, it's unfortunate that the EU (I almost said EU Gov't, but it's not even that!) destroys small entrepreneurs with taxes like these. There are ways around them, but I don't know them. Something about products costing between...

    27% Conversion on my Landing Page.... But What Does It Mean?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    LightHouse has it right here. If the purpose of your A/B test was to validate your business idea, then I think you've done that enough to be confident there is something to look into. 24-27% conversion rates are stellar for almost any business, especially for somebody who isn't a seasoned...

    Yes, run people to a landing page that has variations of your name, tagline, positioning, USPs, logos, packaging, etc. Read the article above, it's specifically about that. I also have another article that shows how I use that method for logos. Testing these things before hand saves you from a...

    I would take Jason K's other suggestion and run a "Buy" campaign. It's pretty rare that I ever send FB PPC traffic back to FB. I don't think you'll get an accurate gauge of your product's potential if you just run a like campaign. Don't get caught up with vanity metrics. I think the best thing...

    I'd definitely run some validation tests before putting in that 1,000 bottle order...You can also use those tests to build up a list of people to market to, and see what product features / positioning angles will be the more effective. Good luck!
