Or you just happen to be at the right place, at the right time, with the right amount of money.


Im in contacts with a seller in indonesia right now, and if everything goes well i should hopefully be making bank (1000$+ profit a day)

The deal i am getting does sound "to good to be true", what im afraid of is scam, does anyone know the best way to pay overseas to make sure i actually get the product? Anyone know what type of policies master card has for doing chare backs overseas just incase i dont get my product as i will placing a large opening order.

Doesnt that tell you that the markets already flooded.

Trust me dont bother with it.

With abit of creativity you can get a better product a better market and better profit.

Why not mix a bit of western culture with their culture.
i.e like how they have the wooden usb drives from africa.

best way of paying over seas? L/C payment, Letter of Credit, this is the only way. DON'T EVER PAY WITH WESTERN UNION, NEVER, NEVER. A letter of credit will allow you to recieve the product, once confirmed you have recieved, then the bank releases money to the seller. This way nobody gets hurt. If you want just a little bit of security, at least do payment by wire transfer. But I would never, send all of the money at once. Do like 50% up front, and 50% after shipment is recieved. But to be secure, do L/C.

Dr. Money, no offense, but it seems to me you're always spawning ideas and never pursuing, most of which you probably are fortunate for never doing so.

You obviously want to be an entreprenuer, being self claimed and all, but you lack actual experience.

Take an idea and stick with it. Adwords, to venues, to importing... please.

Do something that is in your capabilities. Is it feasible for you to fly to Thailand and open manufacturing productions? No.

I really would like to see you succeed. You are way more ambitious than I was at 18, but you lack application.

I learned a while ago, talking about shit will get you nowhere. Keep your mouth shut and actually do it.

I know I have this problem, I run with things, Until I graduate, I just write my ideas down in Notepad, and save them for a rainy day.

Well said.

I think you also have to find an idea that interests you. Its so much easier working on ideas when there fun and you enjoy it.

Maybe write up all your ideas with a list of pro's and con's. When i was 18 i would have a new invention every week but i never got anywhere until i focused on one idea and just put the others on a waiting list.
