One of my favorite types of videos to record is going over the ability everyone has of owning their own Pokemon TCG Business.
While starting your own business is never something you should take lightly, Pokemon does offer many Online options for ordering product at wholesale opportunities allowing less risk to be involved when starting your own Pokemon TCG Business.
However, slim margins and inventory issues combined with hard work for almost no profit is definitely something that needs to be taken into consideration when starting your own business. Is 2023 the time to take the leap and start your own Pokemon TCG Store? Let's talk about it!

I just had my brick and mortar grand opening on Saturday the 7th! I was online only for about 2 years and then started selling at the local farmers market to warm up the community to my shop before it opened. Our opening day was a huge success! Danny, you've always been a huge motivation booster for me so thank you!

As a small business owner myself, I can tell others it is a big commitment even as a small side hustle it takes a lot more hard work than people think. Nothing is impossible though. My mantra is "Do the work"

Looking to start something on the side. Any tips?

@VRule1 8 ай бұрын

@djsano23 people often say to do what you love. I follow the idea: do things that you don't hate but will bring you to the goal of doing what you love. I've done many tasks and many jobs and taking many clients that I wasn't excited about but it was a stepping stone to getting to the more successful side of my business. Another thing you'll often hear is to Niche down. Get specific about your goals and keep pursuing those specifics. F.O.C.U.S (follow one course until success)

I’ve been back in the hobby since 2020 and have sold bulk for cheap but am looking into selling singles and starting a business possibly a brick and mortar. It’s now a hobby, sorting, researching, I love it. Reminds me of the days where I would sit in the living room with hundreds of cards around me in a circle all around the room sorting. This is great info thank you.

Yeah sticking to selling my extra singles on tcg seems to be the way to go for me. Just enough time sunk in to make a couple bucks on the side to make some back from opening, not enough to super stress. Your videos definitely help with that though! Always looking out for commons and uncommons you call out to pull for value. Thanks Danny!

I've always had a huge interest in starting my own business, but have been taking things VERY slow as I am pretty risk adverse, but starting selling on TCG Player and Ebay is a pretty risk free way to get started, and selling "bulk" competitive cards is a good way to get the feedback up, thanks for the info!
