FBA for a Financial "Getting Started" Basis

[felixwinkler]

I have a lot of amazing business ideas to build, but at the moment I'm pretty broke. I was thinking to start an FBA business to get some cash coming in for a financial basis and then move on to the bigger projects. Would you say that's achievable, even though FBA isn't necessarily a Fastlane?

How broke? Do you need to survive on the cash you would make or can you put it ALL back into the business?

Fba can be a good source of income, but if you need that cash for immediate survival, it will crater fast. You also need some seed capital to start, or a credit line at minimum.

@MJ DeMarco has a great thread on how to start from scratch, I would recommend reading it.

I still have like 3-5k left, which should be enough to get started with it. As I'm still 18 and live with my parents I can basically, and most likely would reinvest it all. What would you say?

Thanks, will definitely check that out!

You can bootstrap a business with pre-orders, kickstart, go fund me or whatever else there is. Get people to give you money for an idea/product/sample and go from there.
