    Does it still make sense to sell N95 Masks?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    There's no way to advertise them in the context of how the OP wants to sell them. In their original post, they basically asked how to set up a store to sell the items (he even asked if he should set up a dropshipping store). In this context, there's no way to advertise using online platforms...

    Does it still make sense to sell N95 Masks?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    The problem with the second option (setting up your own store) is that you'll basically have no way to advertise the masks... unless you know how to get a lot of organic traffic, of course. Facebook, along with many others (if they haven't implemented it already), are going to start banning any...

    How is Coronavirus affecting your business?

    HOT! 
    The coronavirus wiped out my dropshipping stores (my main source of income). Thankfully, another fastlaner and I started up some new stores together (near the end of Jan) that ship out of the US. Been generating anywhere from $500 - $2k/day in sales ever since launch (with a consistent ROAS of...

    How LONG would it take you to turn $50,000 into $190,000???

    Well, with my first successful ecom store, I turned $5k (wasn't even actual money, I was using a family member's credit card) and generated $1-million in revenue in about 2 months. Granted, there was a large amount of luck involved, but I've reproduced similar results (albeit with lower...

    Reading a lot - is this really the #1 trait of rich people?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Just because a lot of rich people read doesn't necessarily mean reading will make you rich. Does reading help? It can, but it really depends on WHAT you read. There's a lot of crap information out there, so it's possible reading may actually have a NEGATIVE effect. That said, if you can find...

    Just saw MJ DeMarcos article on affiliate marketing

    MARKETING RANT 
    Hey, Walter! First off, I just want to say that your book on importing is INCREDIBLY valuable (worth at least 10x the price I paid), and it was instrumental in getting my new store/brand started. Regarding the whole supplier and manufacturer thing, that's why I made sure to say "supplier" and...

    Just saw MJ DeMarcos article on affiliate marketing

    MARKETING RANT 
    Well, the idea of transitioning to buying in bulk and using US-based fulfillment came out of necessity. I think it was around the end of Feb and beginning of March when I started running into supply issues and was getting bombarded with refund requests / complaints via email (I started this...

    Just saw MJ DeMarcos article on affiliate marketing

    MARKETING RANT 
    Well, I'm not in affiliate marketing, but I do the next worst thing: Dropship from China. Here's my experience with the topic of "control": I made around $1MM in revenue in 2 months alone during 2017, and I currently have a new store that's done around $600k in sales so far (probably quite a...

    Enter this if you dropship

    INTRO 
    If you're gonna dropship, don't use the Oberlo + AliExpress model. Instead, get yourself high quality suppliers located in the countries you want to sell your products. That is, of course, if you want to create a real meaningful brand instead of making a quick buck. I say this as someone...

    How to note ideas during date?

    IDEA LANDFILL 
    I know this is a joke thread but this is what mnemonic devices are for. Associate the idea with your date's face, name, etc. and you'll be able to easily recall the idea when you get home.

    Is there a good course on FB ads?

    MARKETING 
    All I did was read up on all the documentation Facebook has regarding their ad platform. Then, it was just a matter of trial and error, and testing things out with my own money. One important thing to remember is that Facebook is just another platform / tool. Basically, if you already know the...

    How I Generated $21K In Profit In 1 Month For a Client Using Facebook Ads

    MARKETING 
    To add to this, Facebook shows your ad to the people who are most likely to take the action/objective you're optimizing for (hence why the higher level conversion objectives tend to have higher CPMs). So if you optimize for purchases, your ads will be shown to people who are most likely to...

    Is there a good course on FB ads?

    MARKETING 
    There's 2 things wrong with your post. First off, the premise behind your post really grinds my gears. Why would you link a video like this when YOU personally don't have any experience with Facebook ads? I see people like you all the time on Reddit and other forums giving out advice when they...

    Should I Drop Out of High School?

    HOT! 
    Exactly. So I mean, if you do have a goal, then you should definitely consider it. I personally never got a GED because I never needed one. I had an entrepreneurial mindset ever since the 5th grade so I never considered diplomas or GEDs necessary for my own success. Although I will admit I got...

    Should I Drop Out of High School?

    HOT! 
    Here's a question you should ask yourself first: Do you have a SPECIFIC goal in mind that REQUIRES you to invest 99% of your time into it? (The keywords here are the two bolded words.) If yes, then drop out. If no, then don't. As a high school dropout myself, I knew exactly what I wanted to...

    Fastlane Methods to get Money Now?

    I apologize if I'm reading your thread wrong, but it seems like what you're doing is getting a product manufactured first, THEN testing it to see if there's a market / positive reception for it. To me, that seems a bit a$$ backwards. I mean, I'm sure there are a lot of people on this forum...

    Hi! I'm a piece of sh*t dropshipper transitioning into creating a real, sustainable business!

    INTRO 
    Hi! Unfortunately, I don't really have time to walk you through all the steps of how to start up a dropshipping business (I'd actually be doing you a disservice by hand-holding you -- if you really wanna gain valuable knowledge & wisdom, you need to do things on your own). But to keep it...
