Transcript

Why would somebody buy something from you for $20 if you're going to sell your vendors for $20 and they don't require a minimum order quantity, they don't require a license, and they can just go straight to your source and get the same bracelet or shirt or whatever the case may be that you was going to try and sell them for $25 for $5 now. You guys, I'm saying this with love, okay? You guys are starting to treat your businesses like side hustles. You guys are not thinking about the long game, you guys are thinking about making a quick buck, but you don't realize how much you're hurting yourself. Once a person buys your vendors and realizes how cheap they can get your product, why would they come back and buy it from you? It it makes like no you're selling your vendors for the price of like two happy meals directly from your business page. You should be gatekeeping your vendors as a business. And if you want to sell vendors, sell it away from your business, but realistically, why would somebody pay you continuously more for something that they they automatically could just go over there and get it for cheaper? You're giving it to them.
