      Here's the short version:

      You need at least 10k to start but 20k would be better.

      Dont forget about Location, LOCATION, LOCATION!!

      Last but not least, a form of steady income other than your store
      or supplement line, one that will pay your lease for the first 2-3 yrs
      as that's how long it takes a new biz to become profitable.

      I own one. Jut an FYI....IT's a pain in the ass to make money! Profit margins are not what you think. THere will be some products that will make you $7-10 gross. But then after you pay the damn credit card transaction fee, server fees, and all the other bullshit crap, it's a very very limited profit game. I remember my first online sale. I was doing flat rate shipping. I think I made like $5.00 on a product. Charged $7.00 Shipping. Well after all said and done actual shipping ended up being almost $10.00 Plus the transaction fee of the credit card shit. I think I figured for the one transaction I made almost $2.00! LOL

      Also if your looking at an online based company,././......You will have to deal with 3 million others that have sites. Some are bullshit. Example......I sell superpump250 for $35.00 Most everyone else s sites are around the same. But yet there are a few companies that are at $23.00!!!!!!!!! Now....I know that's way below my cost! And you would assume that they are not buying cheaper than me! But what they are doing is peddling all the old post dated shit from these companies. They don't really tell you either.

      Lets put it this way......I got in this to try and make a few hundred more a month so I can pay for some of my daughters medical supplies. I have never made enough to justify it really. If you have questions on any of it,...shoot me an email or PM me here.
      O.R.S. It's all about the apples! You like em? You like doze apples? huh? You like em?
