Alright amigos I think it's a good time to start this because I MADE MY FIRST SALE TODAY!! I was up until 4 last night finishing up the website and instagram and now we're getting buckets. (Basketball reference)
I'm selling a custom product online that will become a niche brand with similar items. But at the moment there's one product. Good margin, buy for $7 and sell for $32. Shipping hasn't been included yet, as I'll be shipping the first product tonight after work. (Any advice on that would be cool)
Main takeaway from the time I had the idea to now is that everything will take longer than expected. EVERYTHING. Samples, shipping, photography, etc. Plan for it. Don't make crazy decisions like "burn the boats." Don't set release date based on if everything goes perfectly.
