Best part about Scoutify? Input your target ROI, and it will tell you your target buy price for whatever you scan.

But what should your target ROI be? Let's talk about it 👇👇👇 Image
First and foremost, IT DEPENDS. Consider the following:

Can you buy 1 or 100?
Is it $1 or $100?
Is it 1 lb or 100lb?
Is it fragile?
What is the sales rank?
How many can you sell per month?
Are you ungated on Amazon?
20% ROI on a $10 one time sale? No thanks.

20% ROI on a $10 replenish-able lightweight grocery item that could sell 300 times per month? Yup!
I look for about 30% ROI on most toys. More if the toy is big, oddly shaped, or fragile, and less if said item is super easy to ship, and I can grab 10+.
There are lots of opportunity in grocery. These are items that can sell A LOT as well. Think seasoning packets, condiments, etc. You can order these wholesale, streamline your prepping, and make a couple bucks per sale. But if you are doing hundreds of sales per month, $$$.
Another thing I consider is checkout time. If I am already buying certain things, I am more likely to grab one or two random items I find. If i don't have anything in my cart and I'm about done, maybe it's best to get moving to the next store.
As you start, lower your requirement. Get some feedback on eBay, learn the process, get better. That's valuable as well.
As you get going, you'll learn what's worth it and what's not. Just like everything in this game.

It’s not necessary to file as a business for your side hustle, but the tax benefits are worth it alone.

Check out a few below:
You’re using your home for your business. Storing inventory, packaging, computer work, etc.

You can write off up to 30% of your home rent or mortgage for your business.
You are primarily using your internet for your business, so you can write off a large majority of the internet bill.

Optimize yourself and you will reach your full potential in business, relationships, and happiness.

Let's nail the basics...

THREAD:
1. MOVE: The single most important thing when it comes to maintaining weight and avoiding injury is simply movement. You are not meant to sit for 8 hours a day and then sit some more. You NEED to be getting 10k steps a day or everything else suffers.
2. SUNLIGHT: There's no magic here. Get sunlight into your eyes before 9:30am and also between 3-6pm. This will keep your Circadian Rhythm on point, which impacts everything. Wear amber glasses and avoid bright lights after sunset. You will sleep easier and deeper.

How to put your finances on AUTO PILOT and get on the path to financial freedom:

THREAD
The benefits of the practices below are endless. You will spend virtually 0 time on bills, savings, and investing once these are set in place. You will be consistently growing your retirement, savings, and general investment accounts without doing anything.
First things first, your checking account probably sucks. Get an investor online checking with Charles Schwab, no ATM fees, and they pay you a small amount of interest (I bet you’re getting 0 right now)

What's the best part about killing a side hustle?

The money is great, but it doesn't even compare to the MINDSET shift.

THREAD 👇👇👇
Once you see the fruits of your labor directly impacted by your hustle, you have a complete new outlook on life, money, and your future.

You are finally in CONTROL, not at the mercy of the company you’re slaving away for.
You’ll never get rich trading your time for money. You get rich with equity.

This equity can be in your own company, the stock market, real estate, etc.

The key point is that you are no longer getting X dollars for X hours.
