Bro your tips are gold. I'm a new concrete contractor and many of your tips align with stuff I do. Going out and giving estimates takes up much of my time so I've quickly learned to automate as much as I can to not lose too much of my time. I have to filter out serious homeowners from people who are just price-shopping that waste contractor's time and many things you said were very good points.
Love you videos! Love you sharing so much valuable info. I bought my first car selling first sets of Pokemon in High School then fell out of it. Got back in recently and i remembered how to ride this TCG bike but bikes have changed in features and I am stoked about it. I started on TCGPlayer and have done very well. Just now got accepted onto WhatNot to supplement some business but don't want to stop there so your vudeos are not only getting me info but keeping me pumped and motivated. I own a 21 year old photography businesses and freelance for Canon but am loving adding this into it. Keeping busy keeps my anxiety, depression and Schizophrenia symptoms down. Thank you again! GG good sir
WAY MORE PRACTICAL! Thank you for the content. Your videos and advice are helping me to reach my Pokemon business goals. I'm stuck at the getting customers phase atm. I've got a distributor (finally), now just getting emails and people to visit the store.
After hearing about the power of NO I’m really seeing the reality of how blessed we all are to have your content, hopefully I’m not annoying you conjuring up these quick comments, as I try to like and comment on all of the videos I watch. & honestly I’m just hoping likes and comments are as valuable as RU-vidrs claim lol thanks for all the tips and tricks ❤ - Ryan
Finally, the first minute or so of this video exactly said what I thought while watching all those other youtubers' video's! It doesn't really matter if you want to start a pokemon card business or something else as these tips are applicable on most situations. I shall subscribe upvote and watch more of your video's. So many people get stuck on the first thing : "I can't start until" Just try it, if you fail so be it, you learn from those mistakes and hopefully learn from them!
I just started my own LLC this year. Started breaking on whatnot. Started February 9th and have 185k in sales right now. Some days are slow and I feel like a failure, but it does pick back up. I quit my full time job getting paid 30 an hr to run my business full time. It's alot of work, but worth it in the end.
I've been watching your videos for a bit since i started and it's helped me grow a lot i sold out of both cases i bought in about a week and can now slowly add another. Your advice has helped a lot keep it up man.
As always appreciate the videos. Can you talk about how you survived the first year of taking “junk” product before getting decent deals? Did you just go into debt betting you can make enough eventually? Did you have enough income/savings to eat the initial 5k+ on the ex purchases, etc..
Love the videos, very helpful information. Looking to start a TCG store online slowly and your videos are a huge help for what success can look like for someone
thank you for making this. appreciate the honesty and being straight forward. I am starting very small, but didn't we all do so. everything you're sharing helps way more than you can imagine.
Love your information and insight on personal/small business and how to avoid or attract things you need and dont need to make a profitable business. The biggest stepping I have is the website and setting it up outside of getting product.
Amazing video, appreciate your straight talk. I probably have been stuck with #1 for a few weeks to a couple of months but have now started the grind to slowly create momentum. 🤩🤞
I am from Europe and use shipping forwarders in Japan and the US. It causes a lot of problems because everyone thinks I want to scam them most of the time when a transaction is blocked I can solve it by just simply calling the creditcard company explain to them I use a shipper and they mark the transaction with a different shipping address as safe since I identified the address and myself. But some businesses do not want to do it nor do they want to ship outside of their country. That's too bad.
I recently just got my online comic store into LLC form and began talks with distributors. I did get approved by one and as far as I can see I don't really have a minimum order amount. However, not sure I can use them just yet because comic books are expensive even when bought in bulk.
Wow, a lot of gold in this video thank you so much! Can you do a video on how to scale your business? I got inspired from your videos and decided to take action. Found a few sellers from Instagram so this video was very helpful. If I start with 5k I know that's like chump change but it's where I can realistically start at the moment. Do you have any advice how I can scale it starting on that budget?
Was a fun watch and all your points are spot on man. I commend you for doing the online business side by yourself with your girlfriend, it’s a ton of work and most people quit when they release the labor it consists of on the shipping end. Plus the time investment, most people won’t do it. Good video
Always good to see your videos, the info about your youtube scripts being a productive side hobby is valid and something I'm going to think about over the next few days.
Loved the doom scrolling tip the best, so relatable ... Im planning on starting a TCG business in the Netherlands, but I am worried the margins on english cards (via an official reseller) might be very very small. Do you have any estimates on average margins on e.g. booster boxes in the US? Thanks so much for all the valuable videos, keep 'em going :D
Pro tip they have special museum cards that everyone else wants. Try to sell em to jap/china if you can find buyers. A friend of my is doing that as side ting.
I found a great supplier in japan who I successfully negotiated with but now I feel bad for doing it. I havent even started yet and his prices were already way better than anyone elses list. I did spend 8000 on my initial order and he even offered additional pre order items that I took him up on so maybe he didnt take it as disrespect but for the foreseeable future i will just compare lists and not haggle for a few dollars each box if his list is already cheaper.
Heya, I own a Toy store. And a lot of what you say is very true. Especially There is this urge ( as a business owner ) to say yes to every customer request. and saying No is very important to learn.
the best guy on RU-vid actually helping people out besides Danny Phantump just got a sub from me cause I'm starting my own eBay store and listing cards as we speak hoping to get to you one day man thanks for the videos! Will be binging you a lot haha
@@pokene_pokemon would love to scale things up eventually, but without depending on credit, it’s not possible this close to the holidays. My six year old up with the idea to sell cards so we could buy more, and tcgplayer was the best option for now.
Classic husband and wife working together... Woman in full sweat suit while the husband is in shorts and a cut-off T-shirt lol. Same at my house, except my wife would also be wrapped in a blanket lol. Thanks for the info!
Awesome video. Only thing I would like to recommend since it is cardboard like you mentioned, is to keep floods in mind and ALWAYS keep your investment raised off the ground. Water breaks can and will happen, and it would be a dang shame to have full boxes go to waste. Unless your insurance will cover replacing your product, then fully disregard me.
I have some other videos on the subject but ultimately we just contacted Japanese sellers thru Instagram. Found them by following various hashtags like “Japanese Pokémon cards” and just emailed everyone until we found a cool guy - simple
