    How best to structure import and ecommerce business?

    @biophase Thanks for the response. You have helped point me in the right direction again. For option 2... Hypothetically, does Amazon / Walmart / wholesale purchase deposit money into ABC LLC or Widget Brands LLC? How would money flow from one entity to another? Is the idea to keep the bulk...

    Could you offer your legal services on your own while building something on the side? I know lots of people looking for legal / corporate structure help who are entrepreneurs (me included). You could cater to that niche while working on SAAS or consulting business?

    I would echo this. It serves as a great primer for getting into the import game. Knowing how to "communicate" and speak their business language is critical and I feel Walter's book does a great job in going into those details. One of the biggest takeaways for me was picking up on Walter's...

    Before I used to give them my email address but that got bombed with spam real quick. Now I only give them my email address once I have established they are someone I want to work with. That's only after I have vetted them in regards to price, trader / manufacturer, responsiveness, sometimes...

    What makes your app / game different from your competitors and why would it make me want to spend my $$ on it? How many downloads are your competitors getting? How are they using ads to monetize their app? How are they using IAP to monetize their app? What is the total market size in revenue...

    Just read through this thread @eTox I can relate in alot of ways with trying alot of different business models. I would say in the beginning this is ok mostly because you don't know what the hell you want to do and what you like to do or even know how to process all the information you are being...

    Self publishing or mobile app development?

    SAAS / APPS 
    I was going to start with non-fiction to get started to get a good understanding of the overall setup and figured I could hammer out a decent how to type of guide. I've done a lot of technical documentation with brand new tech and the guides out there are pretty lacking. I've had access to a lot...

    Starting a filipino virtual assistant company

    Something like freeeup ? I think there is space in the market for sure. It's hard knowing what kind of VA you are hiring unless you give them a trial project. I would still probably go out and hire my own through upwork, fiverr, or onlinejobs but if my company was bigger and I needed a solid...

    I used Bigcommerce for about a year. I ended up not renewing and built my own site on Wordpress and Woocommerce. For the volume I was doing it wasn't really worth for me to pay Bigcommerce. Now I feel like we have more options and a more open platform. More plugins / control etc. I think as we...
