Hi guys,
I'm looking for a side gig to earn some extra money and diversify my skill set; in case my academic career doesn't pan out :)
I've started learning some basic programming, but I've also been seeing these adverts on youtube for oberlo, basically you pick some tat off ali express, dress it up in a nice digital storefront, then price it higher than the wholesale price on ali. Oberlo handles the ordering and supply backend, and once your order volume goes up they start to take a fee every month. You never seem to have to deal with the actual product or the stock, it all gets ordered through ali express from china, just at a ...higher markup for ordering through your fancy store... Can't hurt to try I guess?
They have a marketing email chain disguised as a tutorial to set up your first shop and get your first orders. Life permitting, I'll give it a go over the next few weeks and write up my experiences if anyone is interested.
I think it's similar to online reselling. Has anyone tried this? I'd be interested to know your experiences, or thoughts on other side gigs.
Cheers!
