My LLC is established, have EIN and state tax ID. I am wondering if I need to create an FB business page or change my ecommerce profile? I would prefer to keep them separate, but wondering what best practice is. 10:54:44 From Jackie Wayman : Upstate NY, just starting our snow storm now! 10:54:45 From Laurie Suire : Sorry~ It's around 70 here! 10:54:46 From Caroline and Eden : Also in Maryland 10:54:47 From Christy Case : Snow day in Michigan today! 10:54:57 From DuffyFamily : I want to focus on handmade goods (laser cut and engraved wood items). Does the process change at all for homemade items vs "buy from wholesaler" and sell. -Lauren Duffy 10:55:17 From Susan Ingram : hi from Savannah, Georgia 10:56:13 From Nicole Kimber : What exactly is an Operating Agreement? Does it get turned in to the state? 10:56:20 From Michele : Will we be diving into how to generate a customer base for the different marketplaces during this intensive? 10:56:26 From Jill : I am waiting for my sellers permit to start selling on Pick Your Plum. Do you know the minimum inventory needed for Pick your Plum? 10:56:31 From Meg Barlament : hi. I’m Meg from Cold and cloudy, but beautiful Seattle. 10:56:58 From Michele : Will we be diving into creating and running FB Ads during this intensive? 10:57:16 From Karen : so, LLC and DBA same name? 10:57:18 From Michele : I'm Michele, from Cincinnati OH...cold, damp and wet? 10:57:23 From Nicole Kimber : Also is it a good idea or okay to make yourself as the registered agent? 10:57:32 From Michele Saletros : Question: I am working on picking a product and using the trend generator today. I am in the pet space and picked a cute pet carrier, but some of the products I am looking at on DHGate are priced sort of high. For example, $37 per piece. Also, I started to look at cute bandanas and then I noticed all are coming from China. I am concerned with shipping time, especially to get product prior to Valentine’s Day. Some of the products(bandana) are valentine theme printed. Please help:) 10:57:36 From Cheri Taliaferro : I have a question regarding mindset.....I’ve had my own business for 19 years already....and marketing/SEO is HARD for me!! I find that I keep fighting the voice in my head that is telling me that it doesn’t matter if I do all of these steps because ultimately I still need to get eyes on my products. Does that make sense? 10:57:50 From Tracee Cook : Jill, they sent an email recently that said $150 min. If your item sells for $10, you need 15 pieces 10:59:00 From Addy : are we supposed to order a sample already? 10:59:22 From Jill : Thanks, Tracee! 10:59:33 From Jackie Wayman : I have changed my product a few times and now found yet another one that I fell in love with more (after ordering other of course). The LLC is a bit out of my price range right now so should I do a sole propritership first? I started digging into the fine print of the LLC and seems like there are more fees then I initially thought for sales ID and all that "other stuff" I do have an EIN... 10:59:36 From Christy Case : At this point, for marketplaces, given the timing of Chinese Festival etc, should we be focusing mainly on Easter and summer items? 10:59:44 From Rachel Groff : What is a good number of items we should order to test an item? 10:59:52 From Audrey Mecham : pick your plum is currently $150 10:59:58 From Laurie Suire : I'm stuck on finding quality but not costly packaging for my first product(s) - jewelry. I'm not looking for custom packaging yet (but definitely plan to make that a feature ultimately). I can get brand stickers to put on for now (this is so hard to accept bc I want it to be perfect but I am releasing that stress!). I've looked around but would like to hear any preference/suggestions? 11:00:01 From Marcia C : I've been looking at different products but I'm having trouble finding something with a good profit margin. What tips do you have for finding good margins. 11:00:32 From jorie hayes : I am very back and forth on whether I want to focus in on one small product that I can use to generate some income for bigger ideas, or doing a handmade jewelry item. 11:00:35 From Gina Gaylor : Since I do not have my "dream" business yet....my LLC name can be uber generic right? Do I create a DBA (brand, website, email) when I finally figure out my "dream" products? 11:02:13 From Addy : my child's before/after school is a business DBA under a different name. 11:02:15 From Caroline and Eden : Can someone help me find the workbook? I tried to find it in the google docs, looked for it in the intensive - I can't find where you download it. 11:02:19 From Kasey Frazier : For each DBA do you need to get separate local business licenses. 11:02:50 From Smythe Familia : In MN is called an assumed name 11:03:00 From Nicole Wilson : Just FYI- in Ohio, they call a DBA a Fictitious Name. Which sounds shady, but there you have it. 11:03:55 From Susan Ingram : unfortunately, I have to go back to work so will watch later 😔 11:03:56 From Tash : Question: if there's a product you want to sell but it says it has a patent or is patent pending but you cant find it doing a patent search, where do you look to find if the patent is legit? 11:04:47 From Ann Wilson : What about legalzoom or incfile building the operating agreement? Have them do it or should I just find a free template and do it myself? 11:04:54 From Addy : should we hire an accountant or just hire someone for tax season? 11:05:34 From Shaun Yurcaba : hi! I’m Shaun from Atlanta. I’m hoping to join by video next week. I’m here by cell phone. happy to be here! thanks leslee 11:05:41 From Addy : I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to do my own taxes as I'll miss something. 11:06:07 From Caroline and Eden : Where is the list for US-based 11:06:41 From Tash : Question: I'm from Canada, do I still need to register my business? If I just start out under my own name until I reach the 30,000 at which point I would need to register to pay GST, do I need to register anything else? 11:07:11 From Renee : This thought may be holding me back. I haven't chosen a 1st product yet, but I have a fear of inventory taken over my house. (And other occupants in the household won't be very pleased.) How do you set it up without your home looking like a warehouse when people come over? Small products? Limited inventory? 11:07:18 From Karen : What if I have a lot of base materials. I know when I get big I won't have the time, but can I create my product first. 11:07:44 From Michele Saletros : Do you know pet product suppliers in US? DHGate and Aliexpress are China based. 11:07:54 From Ann Wilson : Caroline and Eden - the list of places is on the last page of the 1st intensive packet... 11:08:25 From Caroline and Eden : Thank you! 11:08:43 From Lissa Roos : If you have a simple product with not a lot of variations, how do you do a journey to 7? Do you make a kit with all the options they could do (like what you may show as inspiration for the item) or is that just asking for a headache? 11:09:43 From DuffyFamily : Ah! babies and puppes and now it started hailing outside here in AZ! You all are lucky i'm on mute! 11:09:49 From Tracee Cook : Michele try wholesale pet .com 11:10:10 From Ashley Schiavone : Hello from Seattle! okay, I have a product that I am leaning towards but really the profit would be small on each item. should I think about this first step as really learning the process or find a different product that would have a larger margin? Thank you! 11:11:03 From Robert Casaburi : Hi, I have been selling droppedshipped products on Etsy, for about 4 months they have been selling. Without marketing, Does this count towards the test phase? Because one of the products is what I want to focus on and buy more up front in bulk. 11:11:26 From iPhone : yes so true!! 11:11:43 From iPhone : the Lives are so key to ALWAYS be watching since you can hear something new 11:11:50 From iPhone : something thats key for your buisness 11:12:05 From Jill : What time is Leslee’s FB Live on Wednesday’s? 11:12:10 From Caroline and Eden : Ann Wilson - Thank you - that answered 2 of my questions :) 11:12:17 From Kasey Frazier : If you are running an existing business and have a good amount of inventory how would you use the STARS with that? Maybe one product at a time? I have been running an online jewelry business and I am stuck. 11:12:20 From Meg Barlament : where do I find the workbook? 11:12:23 From Caroline and Eden : Jill 7PM MT 11:12:29 From Jill : Thanks! 11:12:43 From Kirstine Clark : How do we get the annual planner or can we purchase 4 quarterly planners 11:12:45 From Addy : thank you! 11:17:56 From Jill : Is there a way you don’t have to list your home address on the invoice or shipping label? I am waiting to do the fulfillment center. 11:18:23 From Stefanie Eidman : Jill - you could get a PO Box 11:18:35 From Nicole Kimber : What is an Operating Agreement? Does it get filed with the State too? 11:18:43 From Robert Casaburi : A URL that I want is avail. on GoDaddy, but I believe you get a professional email on shopify if I order thru them but then the clock starts ticking of the free 14 days, should I just order thru GoDaddy or shopify 11:19:00 From iPhone : upaknship.com has awesome packaging too, great pricing 11:19:02 From Kasey Frazier : I love to save bubble wrap from purchases of my own and resue it 11:19:03 From Stefanie Eidman : Packaging ideas - check Pinterest for ideas. I've found some very creative ideas 11:19:30 From Nicole Wilson : Laurie - I’ve gotten velvet bags from Uline for jewelry - they’re cost effective. I add a tag to them for some personalization. 11:19:55 From Kasey Frazier : uline is fantastic and have several locations across the states so shipping can be fast 11:20:16 From Meg Barlament : I am new to all of this and don’t know what any of you are talking about. I was on the 5 day sprint. 11:22:19 From Jill : Thanks, Stefanie! 11:22:28 From Tracee Cook : Can we just do a run down again 11:22:38 From Smythe Familia : Yes a little more on Jouney to 7 11:22:54 From Karen : Journey to 7 mica product how to build? 11:24:07 From Kasey Frazier : post offices will also allow the same thing as UPS stoer 11:25:39 From Gulnaz : 👍 11:26:53 From Gulnaz : yes 11:28:21 From Stefanie Eidman : Journey to 7 - tips for determining profit for copper/silver/gold.

It’s a faraday bag and am offering 2 sizes, could maybe get to the silver. However, am stuck on how to add value for the gold. Thanks! 11:32:38 From Michele : How do you determine the pricepoint by adding value to get to the gold level? 11:32:40 From Gulnaz : 👍 11:33:21 From Caroline and Eden : Michele Saletros - cute pup! 11:33:23 From Kasey Frazier : stickers 11:35:09 From Kirstine Clark : Is the Gold level like a Click Funnel idea? 11:35:18 From Tracee Cook : I just looked up what a faraday bag is…can you Gold it by adding the cell phone camera privacy stickers? 11:36:17 From Michele : How can you add value that is free to your customer when using some deal marketplaces? I thought that was against some of their rules? 11:36:43 From Smith : what about a less “useful” product... like a sweater. what’s an example of adding value to a sweater 11:36:55 From Kasey Frazier : its like selling dog leashes with an value stack of maybe adding on waste baggies? 11:37:16 From Nancy : Thanks Traces! Great idea! 11:41:16 From Smythe Familia : Much more clear, thanks! 11:41:57 From Stefanie Eidman : Where will we find the calculator? 11:43:36 From Lissa Roos : Deal sites always put lowest price on product.

I am going to move forward in this group with a more basic product just to gain the knowledge and experience, and hopefully it is a good product as well.
