By Jason Holland | Tue, Feb 22, 2011

0 Comments

Interested in starting your own business in the lucrative import-export market? One route is to sell directly to consumers online. But there is a potentially more lucrative alternative.

A Different Approach to the Import-Export Game

By Jason Holland | Mon, Feb 21, 2011

In my recent essays in ETR on starting your own import-export business, I’ve focused on the business-to-consumer track. You find suppliers and manufacturers, buy their products for pennies on the dollar, and resell them online to customers in the U.S. (or Europe, South America… wherever you live) at a huge mark-up.
