Thanks! And Bro ur coupon code/ self-advertisement idea was brilliant. Got 15 people who used the promo codes in one day. Massive sales increased with near zero work.
You inspired us to start small within our means and we've sold 400 packs in just over a week trying to sell enough to cover costs and order more and more and doing everything the right way the first time. LOVE you man.
Hey man, I'm trying to sell a Japanese 151 Booster box (Just an individual box). Any recommendations on where to sell this? I cant really do Ebay since it will take so much that I lose money. Any advice would be appreciated!
I love watching your videos. I've been thinking about selling cards online and creating a business. And then I came across your videos. I gotta say, your channel is very eye-opening. My wife and I are trying to learn as much as we can before we move forward. And your videos are the most helpful and insightful.
I just launched my online comic book this week. It is tiresome adding in the new comics for FOC pre orders, but it's neccessary and that's just the start. I still have to add all my own comics I have physically to the store to build the back issue section. It's not easy work or money by any means. Lots of time goes into it that is very well unpaid. I do this while maintaining my normal job and working on my degree.
Thank you Brian. We are continuing to make an indent in this space. Some limited ups and lots of downs but we carry on. Thank you so much for your content, it continues to help me
Love the content! I recall you mentioned having a spreadsheet you created to keep track of your inventory and sales etc. is that something you can share? Would love more insight on how to better keep track of purchases and sales
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Congratulations on hitting 10K subs and for all the well deserved success from the constant work you put in. You're a prime example of how to start a pokemon or TCG business and appreciate all the content and information that it entails. Hope you all have a fun, safe and great holiday!
I’d throw them in as a free bonus instead of throwing them away. Someone orders an ETB; throw a coin in the box. Why not if you’re just gonna throw them away. I know when I buy stuff and the seller throws a free pack/single/coin/etc in it’s a nice bonus and it makes me remember the seller. People love free stuff lol.
Exactly what I needed to hear right now. Im really looking forward to seeing how big your business (including this channel) gets by the time 2025 comes around
The WISE + Bulk Order Combo is underrated when it works. How do you feel about the few WISE horror stories about false “money laundering flags” resulting in people’s money just getting Thanos snapped? High risk, high reward so I respect it man👌🏼
Congratulations Brian on the 10K Subscribers. Another great video detailing on what you do best. I always learn something new about Pokémon and the business when watching your videos. Thank you and Happy Thanksgivings! Onward to 25K. 👍 4A~~} ❤
Nice! I message 1 japanese distributer. . But no reply. Ill keep trying....My business is growing cuz i work alot! Ill keep moving forward....Ty for your experience story!!!
Congrats on 10k man! I’m in the season of I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing. I’ve been doing this for a year but the shipping costs are slaughtering me. I’m in Canada and I’m fearing it’s just not as efficient here as it is in the states for home sellers.
@@kep8971 For real and somehow Zephyr Epic offers free shipping after $50 with Canada post. Like how? How is that possible? Distributor charges me $42 per ETB before taxes and shipping. $133.75 before tax and shipping for BBs. For me to ship either one of those it's like $25 - $35 anywhere. It's madness. Even when I try to find the middle ground at $14.95 shipping it's still just brutal because hobbiesville is charging like $149.99 per BB and $49.99 with free shipping after $175. Then there's Kanzen and shit, like it's impossible to get your footing. That's why I've stuck with local but I live in a fairly isolated city of about 80,000 in northern AB. I'm at the mercy of people's pay checks in this small city and have lots of local competition.
hey, quick question. do you think it is possible to have successful card selling business without social media aspect (tiktok, yt etc.) and just focus on good seo and ads?
Just my take, but yes it is possible but the chance of business failure increases exponentially. I don’t click on ads unless it’s a STUPID good deal or it’s a business I know/trust. You’d have to be undercutting what you even got the product for in order to get any traffic. When you become a personality, even a very small one, you reach so many more people and can charge better prices. Just think, do you ENJOY seeing ads when you’re scrolling Facebook/instagram? Do you want to see MORE ads when watching RU-vid videos? Nah, ads are a nuisance that probably only pull in 5-10% of customers. So trying to make a sustainable business off of 5-10% of the people you could be reaching just seems too risky to be viable.
It’s an interesting question for sue. It be stupid of me to answer with a flat out “no” but honestly it doesn’t seem realistic to me in this time we’re in. At least with an industry like TCG
@@johnsysays Hey super blunt and honest guy here. If he did give me his jp connect I would not be able to buy anything I am poor! I would never expect even a reply especially if it had to do with his jp connect. If he did Idk that could probably hurt his buisness or atleast not be good in some sort of way! I commented that as a joke/callout I guess? The only truth really is im jelous he has a real jp connect because boy those arent easy to come accross. I consider him very lucky and maybe the jp connects are lucky to have a good buisness parter aswell.
