Online Retail/Sales
« on: May 20, 2016, 08:29:45 AM »
Has anyone had any luck at selling products online?  I was specifically looking into buying from a wholesaler or direct from a company and selling on FBA (Amazon).  We are trying to get away from the corporate life/commute and work from home. I see this as a possible solution, but do not want to invest too much time and make $50 a month.  I imagine we would have to scale it to make any real profit, but we will likely start small and keep starting costs under $5K or so.

I sell products online - but products my company manufactures. I have done very well with it. I would for sure recommend giving it a go.

yes you can do FBA and work up to a full time income with it.  here are some resources:

if you search on FB there are a ton of FBA groups.  tons of youtube videos about FBA--everything from how to source to working with China suppliers to create your own product.
