There was a time, not too many years ago, that having your name on a college diploma was a really big deal. In today's world, however, a college diploma is the new high school diploma. College degrees do not carry anywhere near the weight they once did. Due to the ease of obtaining student loans, a college degree may communicate nothing more than that you are up to your eyeballs in debt.

What’s more, if you’re not using “old school” resources like the Internet... Read more →

One of the great things about Amazon is that it has EVERYTHING. This is also Amazon's biggest weakness as well. Many times people will find a site like Amazon more than a little overwhelming. If you are looking for a specific item, the large number of choices can make the process very confusing and time consuming. An additional problem for Amazon is that a niche site can easily rank higher in a given category in a search. For example, while Amazon does sell hammers, it would be much easier for a website that exclusively sold hammers to achieve a higher... Read more →

I want to share with you some of the real game-changers for me, and also some recent examples of actual items I have bought and resold. Amazon Discount Shipping In the very beginning I did not use the Amazon discount shipping option available to Amazon FBA resellers.

In the case of retail arbitrage, the asset is a consumer good, and the idea is... Read more →

If you are a regular reader, you are well aware of my latest financial adventure - retail arbitrage. I shared in a recent article how I had bought a remote control toy car at CVS and flipped it on Amazon for a nice profit. I was only able to buy a total of three of these cars before the shelves were empty. I still find it fascinating that products can be bought right off the shelves of major retailers and sold online for a profit. I think I am starting to understand why this works so well.
