What's it like these days? I was in this a few years ago when starting out, went well

Saturated. It's purely a marketing war now. Still plenty of money to make depending on niche and marketing.
Im tempted to start, i have 5 items that i have found 45+ people will purchase indefinitely, on the same type of products, but i have no clue how to do the marketing
>>1930624
Yeah that was my experience, I actually got out because I didn't want to take the punt on forking out for various campaigns to scale up
>>1930695
I was entirely SEO but all the bigger places I saw were hammering youtube, adwords, forum presence. Most of my customers were about supporting small business which seemed good to bring them in but was a real bitch to deal with when my supplier would fuck up

I mean, I guess. If you live in bumfuck nowhere with no jobs it might make sense.

In the end I had most of the day to day delegated to a man from the internet and spent about an hour a week myself, made sense at the time I guess

Holy fuck, at least post the guide link.

I'm a little confused, obviously we only purchase the product if someone makes a sale, correct? Most of these items seem to take around a month for delivery, are western consumers really willing to wait that long?
>>1931043
If you go for low total cost items people don't really care here, since anything form China will take a month anyway
>>1931066
Wouldn't it be worthwhile just to order 20 of these low-cost items and handle P&P ourselves, so the customer can save weeks?
>>1931094
That's another path and really for you to determine
>>1931094
you would have to take a hit to profit or raise prices to cover pp. If you are upfront with people about the shipping times, they're usually okay with it.
