How hard is it to get established as a vendor?

i read about a lot of vendors who claim to be making bank.

say someone wants to get in the market to make about $100k, then get out. this person knows about OPSEC, bitcoin, stealth, sourcing, etc and has a few grand for startup funds.

hypothetically, how long would it take to develop a customer base and hit that income goal?

Your rep will depend on your actions and quality. Treat your customers as if you are a legit business, top quality stealth, communicate effectively, ship fast and promote an accurate quality of your inventory with prices to match. Any vendor can succeed following a few simple rules. If you're drugs are just shit or too expensive then it will never work out.

Depends what you're selling.

Good weed/wax for the lows moves fast. New vendors sell out a lot if its in escrow and turns out quality.

its all up to you. The better you are in the following areas, the faster you can achieve your goal. 1. Opsec 2. Quality 3. Price 4. Delivery Time 5. Support

What's a vendor?

It's possible that you will never be successful, or you could be wildly successful. Just provide the best product at the best price, sprinkle in some great customer service and voila. not hard.

Well there's a guy that did an AMA on here a couple of years ago IIRC and he made an upper six figure amount within a year before he got out. If you can excel in every area, you could probably be done within 6 months.

4 months, maybe 6 tops. Start to finish. if you're not a fucking idiot. Add in an exit scam and you can clear more. But don't be that guy.

Depends on the demand for what you're selling, and your profit margins for your last question.

But best thing to get started is to offer a sample size of your product for a good price (not too good that it seems like a scam, but see what other sellers are selling the product for, and sell the sample at the cheapest price, and include shipping free). Also make some regular listings with what you plan on offering at the price you plan on offering it. Make sure you let people know you will be doing escrow and not asking for FE.

Once you get samples out, and get feedback from people, others will feel more comfortable trying you out. A lot more people are willing to spend a small amount of money to try someone out than take the plunge on a large order for an unknown vendor. It might take some time for people to order, but eventually it will snowball once people realize you're legit. It will take a lot of time and effort to package such small amounts and possibly not making much profit, but it's the price of starting up.

Also, take care of people. If an order takes forever because of USPS, even if it's out of your hands, making an effort with refunds or extras goes a long way when you're trying to build a base. Giving extras when you first start out goes a long way. Good opsec goes a long way.

That's it for now.

Took 6 months op...product and how you treat customers and ship your orders could make it a lot longer
