Hello All,

I had a successful Fish Oil for Dogs product on Amazon.

The problem of the business is it violated the C in cents. Amazon had control of my business and success. I am skilled in Graphic Design, Product photography, and WordPress. I am interested in owning an unscripted business at some point in my life.

Why can't you expand this business to other channels?

Amazon should be a part of many e-com strategies - BUT not the only route. What other avenues have you tried? Did you start building up a customer list? Do you have your own website?

A business does not need to fit all the tenets of CENTS to be successful, or even to be sold in an big exit.

So what's the actual dilemma you are currently facing?

The business is closed. No dilemma at the moment. Also no income.

I was originally a fan of Ryan Daniel Moran. I heard him on a Pat Flynn podcast about 7 years ago.

No. I closed the buisiness.
What happened, did it just lose ranking and sales. I ask because I’m still currently selling fish oil for dogs and would have be interested in acquiring it.

Thank you for the help. Yes I had a website. I did not explore many channels at the time but I will when I create another business in the future. It was an interesting and valuable learning experience.

Did you launch an eCommerce store alongside it? eBay? Walmart?
Not at the time. It was a valuable learning experience however.
