FAQ

 
I’m afraid that a product is saturated. 
Great question. It might be. Fidget spinners hit a wall fast, but I know many people who made a lot of money off of them.  Others saw the trend of small toys to keep hands busy and they went on to sell fidget cubes and crushed it.  
 
Here’s a video where I sold a supersaturated product on PYP and it did awesome.
We actually ended up selling over 6K on this product in 4 different sales. Don’t be afraid of saturated products. The girls' scarves were super saturated, but they still sold a ton of them! Offer a better experience. Add a free pair of earrings with purchase, a lower price, or even a ‘set’ of them. Just remember to order the minimum amount to test it out first.
 
How can I get ahead of the trends?
I've created a 12-month selling guide that you can find below that shows you what is coming up each month of the year.
 
Worried you'll have to price things too low?
Listen to this podcast where I talk about throwing a concert.  You are not and will never compete with Amazon.
 
 
How do you find products so you don’t have to worry about patent infringements? 
I personally try to stay from anything that might fall into that category. 
There are plenty of non-patentable items to sell. 
I’m not a lawyer. If you are going to be investing tons of money into producing something that may or may not be patentable, it’s best to reach out and have a patent lawyer double-check things for you.
 
What about Trademarks? Check it out here. https://www.uspto.gov///www.uspto.gov/  Be prepared, some are really lame and annoying and you wonder how they could have ever gotten a trademark.
