Former Failed Seller Looking for FBA Mentor/Advisor
Hey everyone,
I’m a veteran and family man working a full-time job, looking to get back into the FBA space. I wanted to come here to see if I could find an experienced and profitable seller willing to answer some questions and give me advice. Overall, like most people I'm looking to supplement my income to provide my family and hopefully achieve financial freedom one day so I don't have the "get rich quick" mindset. I realize this will take a lot of time, effort, and possibly more failures.
I’m not a complete beginner. A few years ago, I went through the entire process of product research (Jungle Scout), LLC formation, branding, Alibaba sourcing, and launching on both Amazon and Shopify. However, the business stalled because I didn't grasp the marketing/ad side of things, and I lacked passion for the product I selected because it was chosen purely on what was considered "hot" at that time. So essentially I let the whole thing die. However, even though I failed I had a ton of fun setting everything up and knew I would eventually do it all over again because I believe in the overall vision.
I’ve spent a lot of time on YouTube University, but I’ve realized that having a seasoned seller to bounce ideas off of is the missing piece for me. I’m planning on starting fresh again with a more disciplined mindset.
If any experienced sellers are open to a quick DM to answer a few specific questions on product selection and strategy, I’d greatly appreciate your time. I want to do it right this time.
Thanks for reading and for any help you can provide!
