Hello and Welcome!!!

None of us are getting any younger. If I were you I would
research if I could move my building material wholesale
business to the internet, if that is something that would be
lucrative for you. Maybe setup a dropship arrangement,
where your supplier ships directly to your customers and
you keep the middleman markup profits. This would still
require some work on your part but you could do it from
the comfort and privacy of your own home. And you
wouldn't need to learn about a completely brand new
product line.

I think it really depends on what you're looking for. Do you have an idea on what you're looking to do?

Find customers and discover their problems. Solve those problems, preferably outsourcing them, then resell your the solution to similar customers.

Basically a three-step system.

I am a personal believer in "experience". I would suggest to go with what you know.. you sell building materials wholesale. Why not start with that?

Do you work for a lumbar yard?

I would suggest if you do not already have these.. get a Twitter account, Get a LinkedIn account, Get a facebook account, and an Instagram Acct. IF there is no shame in your game I would suggest a youtube account, and also suggest a TikTok account.

Something to look at... "the build show" Matt Risinger ( on youtube ) is a of builder knowledge. You literally ( I am guessing ) have hands on access... HUGE bonus in my book. You want to become the "Matt" in your local builder community.

Does where you work get returns that you sell at a discount? ask to have 48 hours before it goes on the floor to sell it on Facebook Market place at a slight profit to you? Old inventory that's just sitting there? throw it up.

Selling in the digital age if you were to ask me, is about education. I might suggest getting the book "Jab Jab Jab Right Hook" by Gary Vaynerchuk It will help you on the path of how education pays in the end.

Any questions please ask and the best of luck to you!
