starting a internet business

So being the dumb ass I am I payed $97 for this kit to start an internet business. Its a good kit it breaks it all down for you, you just have to be motivated to make it work. Well im motivated enough to make this happen. So I figured what a better place to start asking questions that I need help with then the shroomery. Now what it is I need help with is brainstorming and coming up with ideas on what I should sell. So if any one has any ideas on what would be a good market to sell in please feel free to tell me, No idea is stupid here. Now I wont be purchasing the inventory my self I will be doing what's called drop shipping. This is were a company say like doba has over 1000 products that they sell and they will allow me to put them on my website to sell at a markup. That means that I wont ever have to deal with shipping and storing products they will do all that for me. This also gives me the freedom to run my business from were ever I want.
Now as for what I was thinking of selling was grow equipment/ electronic gadgets/ or just a little bit of every thing. but I could realy use some more ideas as you can see. so please if any of you can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Visit wholesale sites: www.alibaba.com, www.indiamart.com, www.dhgate.com. Compare what the products are sold for locally or in webshops, for example you can get pretty nice margins on summer truffles. Indiamart sells a lot of prescription drugs if you were thinking of becoming a drug dealer.
Dropshipping can be highly competitive, so you'll probably need to sell very low.

All jokes aside, and I will say no more (due to things like sabotage and negative SEO), this is what I do for a living. It took me two years to replace my income and I've been full-time for almost two years. I wake up when I want. Sleep when I want. Do what I want. Work when I want, etc. It's the bomb.

Could you be more specific on how you earn a living?

Not sure if he means he runs an internet business, or if he deals drugs. The latter is definitely an easy way to make a good living. Problem is that a lot of risk comes with that easy money.

Yea I would never consider dealing drugs as a source of income much to risky.

What kind of products have you been dropshipping or do you use stock?
And how did you manage to get your first clients and build up from there? Where do most of your visitors come from now? Search engines, websites that compare your prices?

I know it will take time to build a good clientele but it is possible. and yes I know I would have to sell at a lower price. jonathanseagull what is it that you sell on your site?

Bump, I am not interested in the product, I already have products which I can sell way lower. I feel like it is easier to sell to webshops than to normal customers. The market is saturated, even with lower prices I lack confidence to get started.

I vended kratom online for a while. The only problem was I was using the profits so I eventually dried up my funds and just shut down and let the site expire. I could run an internet business like nothing if it didn't involve me using the product lol. I've been really savy with websites since I was in middle school and was super into modding and halo 2. My website had a consistent amount of customers and I was fucking amazed. I would be just out and about and bing my iphone would alert me of a paypal payment, I'd then package and label the shit and send it off. I used opencart which is a free ecommerce system and it was amazing! so here is the breakdown for how to do this.
First of all for any internet business your going to need to know the basics of website hosting and management. database shit and mysql basically its like installing a complicated program to a website.
Second your going to need something worthy of selling that you can buy in bulk and sell in smaller quantities for profit. It could literally be anything. That is up to you my friend.
Then you need to get download an ecommerce program and install it to your database on your domain and set everything up and create your website. Then from their its as easy as setting up the products, adding prices, linking it to your paypal and bamm start selling shit..

What are you interested in? Theres a million options out there... idk what you thought you were going to get out of this. I personally try to stick to things I am passionate about, but if I found a real good market for something I could get for a reasonable price I would probably jump on it. Whatever it is make sure you can set yourself apart from the competition! Good luck!

I like this discussion. I have always thought about starting up online store for plants, circus gear and clothes.
