My journey $500/day through eCommerce

Update 2/21/2014 (44th Day)

Still here, my first order of product is on the way. I only ordered 20 items so far to see if there is an interest and to test my methods on Amazon as of right now. I haven't really focused much on the journey since I'm preparing for an audition for a movie but once the product comes I'm going to list it right away and try my methods out.
 
Update 2/25/2014 (48th Day)

Got the items today, would've been yesterday but since the order was international it needed a signature and I wasn't home at the time. So I've decided I want to brand most of my products right away, basically putting my labels on them. It makes things much easier selling on Amazon, although it might take a bit for certain products to sell this way I think it'll be better in the long run. I got my logo this morning as well, Fiveer (WOOT!) I just bought 100 UPC codes so I can upload to Amazon as well. Things are looking good!

Addition to Amazon & eBay, I recommend you to start your own ecommerce portal immediately. Its not very difficult. Get first sale from Amazon/eBay and make the repeat sale at your website. Good luck!
 
Any updates? going on 2 weeks?

Definitely get your own site up. I launched my own ecom site 3 days ago, and just today I processed $2k in orders.

Now, a lot of my expertise is PPC so that helps. But I only spent $8 to make $2k. Not a bad ROI.

I recommend dropshipping FIRST. Then, after seeing what sells the most, then source it/stock it.

Otherwise, you're wasting capital on "dead wood" that could otherwise be used in marketing to actually SELL the items.

Yea, been super busy.

I've gotten my website almost ready for launch. I have ordered sampled and they all sold out within hours of putting them on Amazon so I know my products are going to sell so I'm not worrying about dropshipping, especially since my industry would net barely any profit. I've created some social media profiles for the company and have been getting huge followings so far and have been interacting with the fans anticipating a launch. I registered my licenses and business names, etc.. I just need to trademark my name right now because there's some expand, the reason I made a corporation instead of an LLC so I can sell shares in the future. I have been spending some time getting back into stocks which I haven't done since I was 14, I have been earning about $100-200 a day from an initial investment of $500 so I plan to quit my job soon since I'm making more from stocks so I have more time to focus on the company. I have been looking into some local small warehouses for lease and have found some decent ones but won't look to much into it until I can tell how much inventory I'm going through. A bunch of stuff going on, I'm in the process of getting some reseller licenses as well.

$200/day in stocks from $500 investment really. We are not idiots to believe that!!!
