    26yo from Northern California

    Hey everyone.
    My name is Greg I am a 26 Year Old from Chico, CA
    I work for a counter top company as my regular day to day job.
    Being that the construction industry is slow right now I decided now is the time to try and start my own business.
    I am looking to start 2 different online retailers right now. I don't want to disclose what they are at the moment, because they are not up and running, and I don't want anyone to get the jump on me.
    Just here to learn and maybe give some tips. But I have a feeling I may not know to much yet.

    I may lurk for a while so I can learn what this site is all about.

    Not entirely true...I would use caution, depending on what your idea is. If its something pretty general you should be ok, but if you think you've found a niche, you should be careful who you share with. You should be ok with most of the members...but there are plenty of lurkers each and everyday that would be more than willing to steal your ideas...

    I think it is a pretty good niche market, it does involve some work. I am importing my items from China. However I wouldn't want anyone stealing my supplier.
    Its just an online retail business.
    And no, its not the one in my sig.

    Agreed, you can never be too cautious, I find a lot of great niche products just by looking at what other people do.
