What I am doing? What value am I offering?
Helping physical product businesses increase net profit by bringing their products to a wider market and new sales channels via ecommerce.
Initial Process
- Researching small businesses in Australia, US and Canada who might have physical products and inventory they are trying to sell in greater quantities - plan to outreach to 5 wholesalers per day over the next 30 days.
- Contacting these businesses about helping them list their products on Amazon
- Either resell their products on Amazon (US, Canada and Aust) directly myself or help them create and manage their own Amazon store as a consultant.
- Selling products on Amazon myself to perfect and test systems and develop processes.
- Researching product opportunities on Amazon.
Day One: 19/2/18
I've created my Amazon Professional Selling Account and have chatted with a small prep service in Oregon who also do product bundles. This may be quick way to get some products up on Amazon to get started. I need to set up an federal EIN and get a reseller certificate for US wholesalers. Not sure how to get a resale certificate yet as a non-resident alien and whether or not I'll need a US LLC for this.
Also need a better way to receive and pay money in US dollars without a US bank account or LLC. Am looking at OFX, Payoneer and World First as options for this. This is to avoid burning through any profits with currency exchange to and from my Australian bank account.
