Hi Walter, could you send the link to me as well? Thank you! @Walter Hay
Thanks for your interest. See your inbox.
I have included a note in case you are interested in selling on Amazon USA.

Walter

I checked out your console log, here's what it's showing:

console-log.jpg
CORS (Cross origin resource sharing) is how the user interface connects with the remote server. Your site is having communication issues because CORS has not been configured to allow a remote client (your wordpress site) to access some server you're trying to request from. Fixing this would likely be a server-level challenge, and I suspect this is causing the slowdown. It looks like "viglink.com" is the culprit.

She did not like the negative feedback so she left. She was so excited to make a few hundred dollars TODAY and not interested in making hundreds of thousands over the long-haul. She did narrow it down some from when she first started. I tried telling her to not have her hand in 30 different things on 1 site but she wouldn't believe me until I lead her to a few other sites that told her the same thing. I guess if she is satisfied with a few hundred dollars, then that is up to her.

If she thinks this is bad, a couple things that came out of my user testing for my app made me question if I have a functioning brain (still not sure).

Hi everyone. I am a long-time member here but I usually just read posts on here. I am rooting for each and every one of you to succeed in your own businesses and in life.

I started my own business two weeks ago and have set up a blog, MomBeach.com. Take a look at my blog and give me any feedback to help. I have grown to 1,000 page views in two weeks by advertising on Pinterest.com and Instagram.com mostly. If you want to know what I am doing then let me know.

I'd like to provide value and help others who want to start their own business but are scared. That's the goal of my blog!

I also plan to set up a Shopify general store as well with a similar name. I have made some money in the past on Amazon FBA and a niche Shopify store but not much.

Thanks! I will keep everyone posted on my blog and shop.

According to the IRS tax code you have started a hobby and not a business. Sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news.. Nothing wrong with having a blog but I bet you didn't Google "how many English language words are stored and displayed on websites through out the world".

I was curious after I wrote this so I looked for you, it's estimated at around:

30,000,000,000,000 words

Most of which isn't even written by humans :D

If you are making a better margin by dropshipping from suppliers on Aliexpress, you were not only buying the wrong products, but you were buying them from the wrong suppliers.

If either of those were not the problem, the only way I know to make more profit by dropshipping from Aliexpress suppliers is to sell knockoffs. I'm not suggesting that you were doing that, but that is the business model pushed by a few who are selling courses on Aliexpress for dropshipping. Illegal and risky, with many sellers losing their websites and therefore their total business overnight. There have also been other major consequences for them.

Many of my book readers report huge profit margins on products that they are carrying as inventory and selling, not only on Amazon, but also their own eCommerce sites. One that wrote to me reported on importing an order costing $300 and they sold like hot scones, at 30% net profit, and with his money back long before he sold the lot.

If you have a quick look through my thread: GOLD! Sharing my lifetime experience in export/import. Product sourcing specialist.
You will find some ideas on ways to be sure you are buying from genuine manufacturers (necessary to get the best price) and various other tips.

As for selling on Amazon, I will send you a link to a program that unlike Jungle Scout that throws you into the most competitive areas of selling on Amazon, will show you how to find products that are in demand, but not sold on Amazon.

I wouldn't close your Shopify store, because if you want to private label there are ways to get around Amazon's TOS that prevent you from advertising to your customers. Search for posts by me with keywords: Amazon's TOS.
@Walter Hay I'd be very grateful if you could send me the link as well. Thank you in advance!

I continue to receive messages from forum members requesting details of the link that I referred to, but I have to tell each one that the individual module that I was referring to has been superseded by an even better one, and the FBA course has also been added to substantially.

To save me having to explain this every time, I am posting this explanation here.

If any members want a link to the upgraded course, just let me know, either via a post here or a private message. I must also explain that the link I provide is an affiliate link because my book is provided free of charge as a module in the expanded course, and I receive a small compensation for allowing that.

In addition, the link ensures that support for my book users is handled by the FBA course support team, saving me a huge amount of work. That is a great help to me.

Mods: I hope this is acceptable.

Walter
