First I would like to thank everyone on this forum. Has since last year been making money outside my slowlane job. Thanks.
My Situation: Created one product and imported another from China.
Profit: Varies from 30$/month to 600$/month. I only sell in my home country. Want to sell in bigger markets like Ebay or Amazon.
Problem: Cant compete with sellers outside my country. Why? Because my shipping time is longer, and sellers in the bigger markets like Great Britain, France, Germany and so on can offer free shipping and I can't. What do I do give up? Nope, tried to import more products and focus on market in my country. Problem is that the market is so small that I only sell about 1-2 products each month. And i have been looking for more products to add for about 12 months now.
Question 1: Can I somehow compete with sellers in the biggers markets? Feels like i tried every possible way. Even cut my profits in half to be able to compete with them but still not possible since their shipping is going to be faster and cheaper.
Question 2: Can I somehow increase sales in my home country? Can't seem to find products that sell more than 1-2 each month. 12 months and no progress.
I'm not ready to give up just yet. The feeling of making money while I'm sleeping is amazing. Even if its just 100$.
