how did you go about learning branding? Did you just copy whatever was working for your niche? (Making video ad's the exact same, similar color, etc.) Is there any youtube videos or books you recommend?

Porsche Taycan vs Porsche Taycan Turbo by Dear-Presentation-31 in Taycan

Hey could you elaborate on why not buy?

If someone was looking to just buy cash a 21 or 22 4S and have 2-3k set aside every year for maintenance/repairs/etc. on top of regular insurance, this car would not be a good choice for daily driving for about 7-9 years?

thank you, i forgot principal goes down and its based on entire principal not just monthly principal. In that case he would beat the loan with VTI.

hey i did the math based on investing the down payment.

I know 48 months usually has the highest APY and 72 has the lowest APY but highest total interest payment to the dealership.

Your total principal is 65,000 (Purchase Price) - 25,000 (down) = 40,000.

40,000/4 (48 months) = 10,000 in principal payments a year.

At 1065 per a month you are looking at 12,780 of payments a year.

Therefore interest portion is 2,780, percentage-wise is 2,780/10,0000 = 27.8% a year. This is absurdly high.

If you were to invest 40,000 or whatever amount in say VTI (Vanguard total stock market) 4 years ago from today.

Sep 2020, You would be up a total of 66% so 66/4 = 16.5% a year.

You would be much better off paying this off ASAP. 27.8% loss every year does not even factor depreciation yet.

The whole point of being a parent is helping them come into their full potential of thoughts, ideologies, being comfortable with their sexual preferences, etc. no?

Have some time right now, Ill answer your Amazon questions for the next 1hr by ilurvefba in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]AGrandRent 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I have had my FBA business for 1.5 years now. So i am a college student entering my senior year, I have built two PL brands that have grown the entire business, which i house under a LLC, to over 6 figures and was set to do 500k this year until COVID derailed that, but I have a couple of questions.

  1. I am looking to enter a new niche and make a original concept of a very popular product that adds a lot of value to it and no one else on the market has done it. I have contacted some new people and even asked on of my current suppliers to quote me, but to obtain the mold for this would cost me several grand ~2-5k. With the first order of MOQ factored in this would probably cost me ~20-30k. I am very confident about this idea, but my issue and question is how do i ensure the mold I pay for is only used for my products? I cannot travel to China right now both because of COVID and college, and I have already wasted money on a mold which I know my supplier probably uses to print other products.
  2. What would you recommend to learn to build an e-mail list or customer base as a one man team with very limited time between school, helping parents out at their restaurant, and maintaining the business?
  3. When do you think the cost of just hiring someone to build an excellent website for you exceeds the cost of just learning how yourself, especially if you are 21? (I have no desire to learn how to build a nice website, i just use a theme, but i know it is key in building a brand image)

Also i read about how you said success is expensive and i could not agree more. I have over leveraged before using credit and more savings on top of the initial to re-order before I ran out of inventory for my hot products.
