Yeah Amazon sure like their cut!
Ah Private labelling? Is that a lot harder these days? Much cost involved?
Cheers
Yeah, I hear it's much tougher than it was 3-5 years ago - but I'm hoping my 10 years of professional experience designing and launching products gives me a bit of a leg up.
Cost-wise I've budgeted £3500 to get something started including my first order. My target is to break even on first order to get the ball rolling and cover all the one-off costs and then (hopefully) profit off top up orders after that.
I'm pragmatic though - so using this first one as a learning experience -
worst case I lose £3k, can put "launched my own brand" on my CV (good for the space I work in and cheaper than most professional courses) and get a good story.
best case I launch a product that gets me a recurring £500-£1000 profit a month and learn something I can replicate again and again.
