    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Hi @Walter Hay I bought your fantastic book "Proven Global Sourcing" a few days ago and finished it in only a few sittings. It's incredibly informative and I feel like I've got a step-up already. A couple questions: 1. Do you still recommend Jingsourcing? 2. What countries would you recommend...

    Opinion: The intelligent investor by Benjamin Graham

    BOOKS 
    Given that you're asking this question, I'm guessing that you have a limited understanding of investing. The Intelligent Investor is a must-read, but IMO primarily just because it's a unique piece of history in the investing world. It has limited practical implications these days and is quite...

    SEO Business Model

    As someone who spent the first six years of my career doing SEO and affiliate marketing... this is a dream. Passive income when you're not sat on 7-figures is essentially a myth. Also, the days of easy rankings are long, long gone. If I was starting from scratch and had no idea what to do, I...

    Financial Guru - Bill Ackman

    INVESTING 
    He's one of the greatest hedge fund managers ever, but what are you trying to learn? Unless you're interested in business valuations, which in theory is all investing in stock should be, probably there are better teachers. If you want somebody to explain the infinite ways of measuring...

    Fulfillment center recommendations for UK and Canada Distribution

    Unless you know you're going to be doing huge volume on day one, I would highly encourage you to ship from the USA. The shipping time isn't bad if you use a reasonable service, but the cost of fulfillment will be very high because everybody has a minimum, usually around $1k/mo for each...

    Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread

    HOT! CHAT 
    That seems super super low. If there's 1 million retail stores in USA and each spends $400 per month, you'd be looking at 2.4 billion $ in 6 months. My guess, it's probably much much higher than that. Our stores are low staff to customer ratio, compared to most retail. Meaning most retail...

    Plastic shields on counters go for about $50 a piece, they actually aren't that expensive. Small "stand here" stickers go for $5 a piece. Using 5 per store, so $25. Big directional floor stickers cost us about $60 per piece and we used 1 per location. Larger window clings with instructions on...

    How to be perceived as legitimate when starting a business?

    You must have a friend or family member who you can do work for free to prove your skills if necessary. Or if you do contract work, tell the business owner you'll work for free for the first month and they'll only need to pay in the 2nd month if they're happy with what you provide. When you're...

    Mastering Google Ads from a Pro (Andy's Brain Dump)

    GOLD! SPEEDWAY 
    Hey @Andy Black when you're starting a campaign for a brand new company (i.e. never run Ads before), do you typically start with exact match only and creep outwards? Or throw out BMM or Phrase and then working back towards more precision by adding negatives etc? Right now, for an eCommerce...

    Marketing in times of COVID19

    MARKETING 
    This is a timing issue in my opinion. If you look at a graph of search volume for C0VlD-19, we're on the downslope. Two weeks ago, ads focussing on the terror were crushing it. Now, it's time to swap to optimism and appreciation for the work that has been done. Forward looking. Purely a timing...

    The Worldwide C0VlD-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Discussion Thread...

    HOT! 
    One thing I've been taking advantage of is extremely high-quality restaurants (even Michelin star) are doing delivery, at affordable prices. We've ordered from a handful of the best places in our city in the last couple of weeks, and haven't regretted it once. Would highly encourage others to...

    IS COVID 19 THE TIME TO FORGE AHEAD?

    HOT! 
    Been working the past 5-6 months to launch a fairly complex eCommerce business that I believe has enormous potential. Not the best timing, as we are just about ready to launch, which involves taking the final step on a fairly sizeable payment. The way I'm thinking it through is that the most...

    Canadian Fulfillment (3pl)

    Hey folks, does anybody have any experience with Canadian fulfillment and warehousing solutions? I've contacted the obvious options including ShipWire, InterFulfillment, and Ottawa Logistics. None of these is a good fit for us, primarily due to unreasonably high costs for mandatory tertiary...
