Never Thought I would Be Selling Skateboards Two Years Down The Line LOL

This had to be a crazy day for me. So I get back from my day and I check my email and its something from zazzle sating that I sold a product. Now I'm like huh I sold a product? So I go and check the account only to find out that some random skateboard design that I out there would actually sell. I was just board when I made it lol.

Now it got me thinking how can I further make this a source of income for me. I made about $16 on the sale from a deck that sold for $59. Maybe I'll hit fiverr up and hire some cats to do some design and see how that goes I'm all excited and stuff.

    You'll have to calculate the effect of 2 years of inflation before you get a return on your next $5 investment.

    But how great it would be if you had a line of designs that got licensed by a major board maker.

    I think "I never thought I would be selling...." almost every day. I built my business kind of like you are thinking of building yours, and it's worked out well for me. Maybe if you spend some time and energy and research what kind of boards are selling and to who, we would have almost the same model.

    I sold these things today:


    Cost: $37.28
    Sold: $119.99


    Cost: $5.61
    Sold: $49.99


    Cost: $9.84
    Qty Sold: 24
    Sold: $911.26

    and I sell about 100 items a day, stuff I've never seen before in my life or even thought of. When I get shipments in from when my team has done the research and made the purchase and handled the shipping, I go into my little warehouse and go through stuff finding things I never thought I would be selling. Fun stuff.

    Sorry for the big pictures.

      Yeah you have some pretty interesting looking items lol. You did give me an idea though. I can search for a niche within skateboards and build a small brand around it like anime, girls, gothic, skull heads stuff like that and just target website geared to that type of visitor. I love the WF because the things you learn here for affiliate marketing can be applied to anything
