Aloha - New Guy Here

Wanted to introduce myself and the reason I signed up for BHW. I have been in ecommerce for the 3 years, learning the ropes and growing my business. Current we are doing about 10M USD a year, so we are on the smaller side of companies. I have been extremely fortunate with our growth: Year 1=2M, Year 2=5M, Year 3=10M. During this process I have learned a lot of hard lessons and lost a lot of money in the process. I signed up for BHW to look for various services for SEO, Affiliate and paid media buying. There are a lot of gurus out there who have no idea what they are doing so I figured hopping on this forum could help me weed out the posers and find some solid services to create some win-win situations! If you have any questions about how I grew my ecommerce business - fire away... always open to helping out others where I can!

Welcome to the forum

We sell our own branded products. Dropshipping is an interesting term as that mostly reflects on your fulfillment and warehousing methods. You can technically dropship your own products which can be beneficial for your cashflow but will impact your net profit negatively. Regardless of your fullfilment methods - creating a brand is where the true value lies. Selling the same brand as everyone else will create a race to the bottom for pricing and is not a longterm strategy.

So, what do you suggest we do? Create our own brand? Even in that case, it's not guaranteed that no one else will compete with us in the same niche.

Nothing is a guarantee in life. Take the risk - go 100% all in and you will succeed. There will always be competitors no matter what. Your brand will be your competitive advantage.
