Hello everyone and welcome to my thread!
I have read TMF about 1.5 year ago, when I was done with my PhD. Since then, I have been trying to find a job and create an income source, so that I can finance a side hustle. It was a very hard year behind me, but it is over, no need to complain about past.
I am going to record my progress in some detail in this thread. I hope to get feedback or suggestions from you guys as well.
My background:
- 29 years old (at least after Friday 😀 )
- mechanical engineer
- Living in Germany, with Turkish passport
Resources:
- I have a dayjob, where I am quite underworked. I am just basically doing work for 15 hours a week and just diddling around in the rest. It might change later, but that is how it is.
I am also not overwatched a lot, so I can just bring my laptop and do my own work without being under surveillance. My colleagues like to do a lot of home office. (thank God)
All in all, I have a lot of time under my hands.
- I also have 9k€ in the bank and 2.75k€ salary. I am single and I can save about a half of it, although I usually save 1.25k€. I like to enjoy a sushi buffet or an occasional weekend trip to Eastern Europe every now and then.
A few months ago, I wanted to do dropshipping but after reading
@biophase and other people e-commerce experience, I changed my mind to an FBA business.
I have been listening to Scott Voelkner (The Amazing Seller) and basically getting my hands on any resource I can find about FBAing. I have even found some Turkish guys doing FBA in USA!
At the beginning, I would like to put about 4k€ into FBA. I want to start in Amazon USA due to the experiences of the people starting in Europe. The volume in USA is huge, so I would like to concentrate on that market.
I am using Start Here – The Amazing Seller this as my primary resource, as it is the most recent (one year old) resource I could get my hands on and it seems quite well-structured.
