Hey everyone.
Just a brief intro of myself:
- 25 Living in Los Angeles with family.
- Turned in my 2 weeks notice (last day is first week of June).
- This'll be my first time working with eCommerce and for myself.
My progress so far:
Product 1: General product in a general category. There's nothing really niche about it. The top sellers in this category seem to focus on cheap material/cheap price.
Plan for product 1: Test product. Upped the quality. Use this to get acquainted with the process more than anything before moving onto doing my real product (product #2). Not really expecting to sell too many of these.
Product 2: Niche product in a niche industry. The product in the industry has 5 competitors listing a similar product. 3 of them have the exact same product, made of the cheaper materials. 1 has a unique design. 1 has a unique design AND uses high quality materials.
My plan for Product 2: Real Product. Will be a minor modified design change to the general item, and use high quality materials.
Product 1 should be coming in today (2 sample pieces).
Product 2 should be coming in a few weeks (5 sample pieces).
Rookie mistake: didn't ask about other shipping options. I was wondering why I got charged $80 for shipping and it's because they are using DHL and doing express. I'll know better next time around.
