Hello Forum Members!

[melissamatara]

I just joined the forum here, I found it on my travels across the internet looking for some help and advice to get our new business up and running. I'm excited that I'll be able to find some help here.

Myself, I'm 23 and from Phoenix, AZ. I have a passion for learning foreign language and I taught myself how to program and build websites in middle school and that love has only grown over the years. I have a wide array of interests and I love sharing them with other people.

As far as our business goes, I am a Co-Founder along with three other people. We thought up a much better way to do online sales (it's a secret ;3), and so when I put our site up, I did a LOT of custom programming in the nuts and bolts of how the cart works to reflect this new model. We already have our business registered with the state of Arizona, and we have a few other documents (like our TPT license) too. We're pretty much ready to hit the ground running! Needless to say, it's been an exciting past nine months!

The last thing we need to finish this project is a great distributor. Where on this site is the best place to look for help on finding a distributor?

Once we finish this site/project it's on to the next!

I look forward to talking with all of you on here!

Welcome to the forum Melissa

Congratulations on being on the journey of an entrepreneur :-) It's the journey that is important, destination less important :-)
What kind of distributors you're looking for, and tell me more about the business

Wish you best of luck and success.

Absolutely it is!

It's a site that's selling video games. We're looking for a distributor who can ship directly to the customer that will give us the lowest prices we can find. The last few "distributors" we've found online didn't give us low enough prices to be competitive. We've heard rumors that there are distributors that can get us video games new for ~$10 or less a pop.... haven't seen head or tail of 'em yet.

As far as the business goes, we're just looking to grow and create jobs with minimal to no start up cost. As we gain capital, we'll be looking at other types of investments, all with the idea of "residual income" in mind. Since the video game market is so booming, we couldn't think of a better place to start! Our project right now is at blackmarketgamer.com... but as you can see the cart has nothing in it. Once it gets rolling and is proving itself to be viable, we'll probably hire someone to make it look a little more professional--I'm not the best with graphics.

Are you acquainted with any video game distributors that you could help introduce me to? From what I understand, the reason why we are having poor luck looking for them online is because they simply don't exist online, creating a necessity for a personal contact.
