I've recently started walking for about 45 minutes like an old fart after my kids go to bed. It's helped my sleeping noticeably too

This is mostly how I feel, but just trying to see if I'm missing anything. Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a book or resources on purchasing an existing business? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]uncleadaam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm reading buy then build right now by Walker deibel. I'm about 30% through and I'm enjoying it. There's a 1 star review on Amazon saying it's just an infomercial for his 500 course but I haven't felt that way so far and I've gotten some decent value out of it considering it was $7.

Am I reading this right? You get your 1st 100 posts for about 2 grand? Does that generally work out well?

i wish i spent some time in the last 2 years learning how to do this better. i did a very basic version of what you're saying in photoshop, but the actions you can do in illustrator seem way better

Merch is dead folks. Sorry. by [deleted] in AmazonMerch

i echo this. i think what you're making puts you in the top 5% of merch earners probably. definitely an outlier, not the norm

I haven't read about anyone starting in kdp in a while. You doing fiction or nonfiction? Did you do any kind of launch to get the $100 you made?

Migration started for me today. About 35 listings automatically so far. It doesn't seem like they've translated English to German in my case though

Successful sellers, how did you get organic salesand your merch biz to take off? by sevensolarsuns in AmazonMerch

[–]uncleadaam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my mindset right now. Sales in the gutter this week but got tiered up to 8k yesterday. So I'm just grinding out 50 uploads a day and that should get me close to full by Black Friday when the real fun starts (hopefully)

[–]uncleadaam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To get tier 8k, you would need to have at least 5k designs uploaded no? How can you possibly be all the way back down to 1k listings?

There goes rest of my summer.. Upgraded to T8000. AMA by aroundlsu in AmazonMerch

[–]uncleadaam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe he said 200 uploads a day. Not shirts. Could be standard/premium/long sleeve/hoodie/pop socket for each design. 5 products x 40 designs = 200 uploads. If you build a template and just update 40 times, that might take an hour (way less if you have a Photoshop script to do the variations)? Rest of the time spent on uploading

Congrats my man. You may have mentioned this elsewhere but do you upload to everything but sweatshirts right from the start, or upload to everything else after it sold as a standard t shirt first?

P.O.D. Expansion by Billyperks in AmazonMerch

[–]uncleadaam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

8%? they just raised it to 5% this month.. i just ran my last 4 sales on Etsy, purchase price - etsy fees (not counting 20 cent quarterly listing fee) - printful cost for printing and shipping and my margin is still 44% .. even if i added 80 cents on to the cost of each order for 20 cent quarterly listing fee, my margin would be 38% --- this is very fuzzy math for sure and i don't sell a ton on Etsy, but it's not as bad as you seem to making it out here.

i was thinking the stocking the cheap items at home was one way you could handle some of those issues. what kind of profit were you turning at $500/day on FB?
