I had an idea to start a small, unofficial, business on the side to put a little more money in my pocket each month. I started buying dog food wholesale and reselling it about 1 year ago. At the time, I wanted to start a business out of it so I would have a second income. Because of the potential large monetary gain of a second income, I was very motivated to market it. However, I quickly learned there was little profit in selling dog food unless you sold a large volume. As I learned this, I lost my motivation because I was not selling much feed and that meant I wasn&#8217;t making that extra money. Without the motivation from money, I stopped promoting my potential small business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Fast forward almost 1 year, and I got an opportunity to start buying wholesale dog supplies and dog food. As I learned more about the profit margin of the dog supplies, I realized there was much more money to be made in supplies than in food. Again, I became extremely motivated to market my potential new business and products. I have been selling supplies and feed for 3 weeks and have made a good profit to keep me motivated. I have made flyers and a Facebook page for additional marketing, and I will soon file for my business license and make my side hustle an official LLC.\u00a0As this business continues to pick up, I am already thinking about what other products I can offer to my customers to bring in more profit. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was motivated by money recently.
