    You probably aren't ready to have your own business.

    MINDSET 
    I know someone in their 20's who claims to want to start a business. He has no money and doesn't want to work a full-time job. Also, when work comes his way, he says things like, "I turned them down because they only pay $X/hr. I know my worth!" He follows that with, "Dang, I really need...

    No, I spent most of the week getting products listed. I've recovered a bit over half of my investment in last week's pallet purchase through jewelry sales. I expect to be profitable on the lot by the end of the month.

    I'm done bothering with FB Marketplace. It's mostly useful for items of need rather than items of want. I've listed around 50 rings over the last week and had about 10 messages in total. Of those messages, every single one either said "Is this available?" or "What's the size?" Those who asked...

    Mid-Month The first half of the month was predictably slow, but the last few days have picked up. I had about $75 in sales until a couple days ago when I started posting new products. Over the past three days I've posted 5 new products per day and each day saw sales. My mid-month total is...

    EXECUTION 
    If we go back to the original question... To answer it at face value, we have to define what "that kind" of storytelling is. In this case, that kind of storytelling is the kind I've learned to tell over the past two decades via: - Launching a children's book business, a romance writing...

    My best tip for anyone who wants to learn to write stories to sell products is...don't. Sell something people need so the product tells the story for you. Get it live. Get it in front of people. See what happens. If people buy your product, then worry about things like copywriting.

    The auction site says a lot of their products come from shipments that never reached the customer, so they are not necessarily defective or returns (but some are). Last month I sold $932.55 in jewelry with $782.58 coming from 14 rings purchased from Temu.com for between $1.00 and $2.00. I'm...

    Just got back from the auction warehouse. Huge building. Not great instructions about where you're supposed to enter. I think that little door on the far left next to the open one is where you go in, but I went up the ramp on the far right. Once inside, you cross the entire warehouse to reach...

    @MJ DeMarco I gained a piece of valuable info about the pallet auctions just now. Apparently, you cannot simply snipe bids at the last minute. If you place a bid with under 2 minutes remaining, the countdown timer resets for 2 additional minutes. I won the auction, but spent more than...

    Haven't reported much lately. Very few flips in April due to extra college classes, being on-call for body removals, and focusing on my ecom site. The latest pallet auction ends in a couple hours. I bid $50 on one of the lots, but someone outbid me up to $300 on Tuesday. Yesterday, I watched...

    You definitely are not here promoting some shitty digital marketing agency that outsources to India. So if we Google "blowindi," the results definitely will not be some shitty digital marketing agency that you are not promoting in your profile photo that says "blowindi." Right? Go F*ck...

    I don't sell physical products, I sell stories. You can get the physical item on Temu, but without the story, you only get half the product. The people who shop my website aren't looking for the best deal. That's a completely different customer. The story is both the story I tell in...

    This lady just ran into me in a crosswalk. She was stopped at the end of the crosswalk, so I started crossing with my daughter. Then she starts driving. I slam my fist against her hood at the last second and yell at her because she is literally running into my body while looking at her phone...

    I've heard two disturbing phrases from channels targeting children on YouTube in the past week. Phrase 1: "Like and subscribe if you believe in Jesus." Phrase 2: "Like and subscribe or you don't love your parents." What the F*ck is this?!
