i've made a killing selling weave, iphone accessories, vaporizers, etc
This or
This. Breh look up internet marketing and bootstrapping.
You can also research a product and know it like the back of your hand. For example for an iphone, know which models sell for what price used, brand new, broken, etc. Then go on craigslist and try and find steals on them. Look for people who are making it known they urgently want to get rid of their product (if they say they're getting divorced, need to pay their mortgage, etc). Then you offer them around 30% less the price they list. For example if they list an item for 100 you offer them 70. Most people will tell you to fukk off but a good 20% of people will be desperate enough to bite on your offer, especially if you text them a pic flashing cash. Then reflip their item back on craigslist, eBay, amazon whatever. The name of the game is arbitrage. Buy low and Sell High. Depending on how much cash you got, key money items you wanna look into are cars, boats, purses, watches, apple products. You have to be careful and make sure you do your
research. Dont buy anything that you dont know the market for (price, supply, demand). Ive heard of people doing this and making thousands a month for only a few hours work a week. But again I stress
KNOW and
RESEARCH the market for whatever niche you decide to pick. And also test everything before you buy. And watch out for fakes/counterfeits.
This can be really lucrative if you find a niche that's not saturated but has a decent amount of demand. For example apple products is a very saturated market therefore many are selling them. You want to choose a niche with a high barrier of entry (price, or something that most people wont think about flipping for example washing machines could be something). Also make sure you take seasons and regions into account. Dont go wasting money buying a snow blower in the summertime and you live in Texas. But you can use that to your advantage as well for example lets say you do buy a snow blower in Texas chances are you'll buy it cheap (nikkas dont need a snow blowers in Texas) and you could reflip it to someone in Minnesota.
Things to note: The more money you start off with the more money you stand to make. But also the more expensive an item is the harder/longer it will be to move. And when when your bootstrapping you want to move product as fast as possible. You buy something and immediately relist and want to sell as fast as possible, because markets can be fickle and what cost "X" dollars one month can be "Y" dollars the next. And if you do this and get some cheddar, remember who put you on game dont be afraid to
