selling shit on amazon is the only way to go, guys.

you can do it while still having a full time job and building up your revenue stream passively.

you heard it here first.

for example, after spending a few weeks on product research, i've found a few good products to sell that (currently) have low competition. i'm going to try selling them, but as soon as they get more popular, the competition is going to increase dramatically. on one product, i'm already seeing that margins have shrunk (prices have dropped by a few dollars since i first did research on it).

i think the way around this is to try to build a brand on amazon. try to sell products that fit together so that you have a customer base and can offer them additional products down the line and they will be more willing to buy from you and you alone. obviously much easier said than done though. right now i'm just trying to sell a few random products that i think will make me $$

what do you do now?

I'm currently wagecucking pretty hard right now.

this is EXACTLY what i'm finding too

even the products i found (i found 3 during my product research phase) are all being manufactured by TONS of chinese factories on alibaba. literally using almost identical looking pictures. and in my head i'm thinking, how the hell is this a sustainable business model when you have 15 different factories in china making the same plastic shit? you really have to differentiate your product by doing better packaging than your competition, it seems.

i'm currently trying to figure out a product to sell on amazon where quality and perception matter. have a few ideas that i need to research.

wagecucking is a fucking soul sickness, brother. get the fuck out. how much were you pulling in off amazon?

more like 90% of revenue on marketing.

general strategy is to build a brand on amazon and then grow your own website. the ultimate goal should not just be to sell on amazon. the ultimate goal should be to build a brand using amazon to get you started. or at least that's what i've gathered so far

and most of that cost is in buying the product from a manufacturer

if i wanted to be super aggressive with it i could invest like 10-15k in this investing in like 10 different product lines. but i'm trying to see how this first one goes first. i want to risk no more than like 3k with this first one

I knew a dude who had family in China that sold GE water filters on Amazon. The genuine filter has a MSRP of $50, but this guy could get 1,000 of them delivered from China straight to Amazon's warehouse for under $5 a filter. Let's just say the water being filtered wasn't exactly pure...

i'm trying to be more ethical about things, but i'm already seeing that there are some shady motherfuckers on amazon
