Retail Arbitrage

       2020 has been a year that will never be forgotten. From beginning to end there

has been countless twists and turns that has affected every individual to at least some

degree. About 4 months into the year, I noticed the demand to earn extra cash by

millions of people due to the unpredictable economy of 2020. I realized that over the last

2 years I had developed a unique skillset that when performed correctly was a great

way to earn extra cash. I then decided I was going to dedicate the next 8 months to

expanding my knowledge even further and create a course teaching the masses this

unique skillset of mine.

       I began by focusing my first 4 months on expanding my knowledge and

brainstorming everything that I had in mind. I had tons of ideas going in and out of my

brain and it was difficult to keep it all organized, but I did a good job of writing everything

down and keeping what was valuable and forgetting about what wasn’t. I watched

courses, read articles, watched videos, etc. to assure that I was truly a master of the

subject I was going to teach. I was able to get a good picture, at the end of the 4

months, of what I had in mind for my course and how it was going to be the best course

on this subject in existence.

       This now brings me to what my course consists of. To explain in a brief manner,

it is a step-by-step process of how to perform what is called “retail arbitrage.” Retail

Arbitrage means to take advantage of a price difference between two competing

markets. In other words. Buy a product from one marketplace for cheap and resell it on

another for a higher price for profit. In my course I will teach the entire process of going

to stores to source products and then flip them on another marketplace for a higher

price.

         Now, the concept may sound simple, but there is a lot to be learned in order to

perform this side hustle efficiently and effectively. Which is why I spent the 4 months

after my research phase creating 40+ valuable videos explaining everything that needs

to be understood. Even though I was the one teaching the content, it was an incredible

learning experience for me, and I really feel like learned so much in regard to this

concept. It’s one thing to learn something and another to teach it.

         Upon completion, I didn’t realize how time consuming it was going to be. I spent

more time focusing on creating this course than all of my other classes combined.

Combining my thoughts into a video that could be understood by anybody was a hard

process. Not to mention the countless times I made mistakes and had to refilm. And

above all that, the hours upon hours of editing the videos to assure they were high

quality and professional.

         Now, it wasn’t just creating a course and calling the project complete. But I also

spent a lot of time coming up with ways in which I was going to market and promote my

course. I discussed with my brother the marketing plan of how we could sell the course.

He sells a different course about E-Commerce and has been growing it over the past 2

years. He was an incredible mentor to me during the whole process as he has gone

through the exact same process with his own course. After all he has done, he has

created multiple different channels talking about the skillset that he teaches and has

access to around 100,000 followers, subscribers, etc. These people are a perfect target

audience for my course. So, we created YouTube videos, Facebook/Instagram posts to

promote my course to assure we were going to be successful on launch day and be

sure everything was ready to go.

       The day before black Friday was launch day and we listed the course at 100$.

However, we ran a special 60% off holiday deal to the first 50 people who purchased

the course. I was more than content with the results as the first day consisted of 16

courses sold. We quickly sold out of the holiday deal and the price is back to normal. I

now average about 1 to 2 sales a day and am working on new ways to continue

promoting it and assuring the course’s content is high quality. Because my brother was

a major influence on the success of my course, he receives a 25% commission for

every course sold. However, because the subjects that he teaches is so similar to mine.

I included a video promoting his course where I will receive a 25% commission for every

course he sells through my platform. His course however is even more valuable and

sells for $600-1,000.

       On top of the course sales, I have about 7 different affiliate links in my course to

certain software tools that help with the process of doing retail arbitrage. Every time one

of my students signs up for these software tools, I will receive a commission anywhere

from 10-250$ depending on the software tool.

       I am incredibly grateful for this experience and for all the things that I learned. I

put so much time and effort into creating this project and it couldn’t have turned out

better. Even though the hard work is done, I am still going to continue updating and

creating new videos when necessary to assure that the course is really worth it’s value.

I am also going to find new ways to promote the course in order to drive more sales and

my course as one my main sources of income.
