Hi Everyone, Im new to creating income on the web and was wondering which method could create a great stable income. I have been researching day and night. I have come up with sending products to Amazon Fba or creating a website that dropships items. I have also started gathering products for Amazon fba from retail arbitrage. I was wondering if this venture could be worth it or should I just create an Eccomerce site and do dropshipping. I would greatly appreciate any information that any warrior could share and lead me in the right direction. Thank you for reading.

    Hi Mario,
    Welcome to the online world, I have been an ebay seller for the past few years, I'm not a power seller and all I can tell you is, Internet gurus don't share their secrets. I've learned that the hard way. you are going to have to figure out things on your own or hire a mentor to teach you how to do things. Good luck man and I wish you all the best.

      I couldn't agree more with this. Mario, the best way to learn is through first hand experience and realizing mistakes when they occur and building from it.

      I tried ecommerce + dropshipping. I spent a good deal trying to get the store to rank on google for certain keywords. I tried PPC and FB. I spent hours writing SEO rich content. And after all of it i got no sales. Thankfully I was able to sell the "business" on fiver. I'm glad I learned that lesson sooner than later. I'm going into FBA now. I feel more confident in that route. If I spent my capital there I'm pretty sure I would have been well off the ground by now with that model. Not saying ecommerce can't work. But I'd rather leverage amazon's traffic. I would only dropship pricey items from reliable sources also. Would not base my business on dropshipping.

    Hi Mario,

    I'd suggest rather than ask what you can do to create money, figure out what you are passionate about and how you can turn that into an income. You will need something to keep you interested in the time that it takes to build the income.

    And how do you want to do it? Seems like you want to buy products and then sell them somewhere else (amazon, ebay, etc) but want to do it "online" - why just online if you're dealing with tangible products?

    What is it you really want to do besides "make money online" - how, and why?

    Some helpful answers there,you will find that most people in this world suffer from the me,me and me syndrome so i wouldn´t expect too much guidance, i would look at sourcing items that you cannot freely find on the internet,lets say you wanted to offer branded fashion,see what you can get locally (to where you live) and test the market,look to other auction sites by venturing into countries that wouldn´t jump to mind,if it´s purchasing rather than dropshipping figure out the costs and reliability of sending,look at any legal implications and away you go!!


    From my own experience---deal with high end items,cheap is to much trouble!

    The idea of creating a website instead of using Amazon's site is not something I would suggest.

    You may want to do both but keep in mind that you do not want to be competing with Amazon. Amazon has a HUGE amount of buyer traffic and it you want to sell physical products your inventory should be there.

    With most niches or product lines there is no way that a site you build can out sell the amount you could sell using FBA on Amazon IMO.

    Dropshipping is only one possibility which happens to be very propular these days. But there are many others that don't require initial investment or only minimal investment at the beginning.

    T-shirt business is one of it. Then affiliate marketing business using social medias such as Pinterest, Facebook and so on.

    First you have to explore about all the possibilities. Then you have to honestly ask yourself which one of these is closest to you, your personality, your time capacity, financial capabilities and so on...
