Great video, I'm thinking of opening a bookstore but I don't have previous knowledge of things like fda, ranks, scanning, etc. Can you make another video with very simple layman's terms? Perhaps like a step by step from scratch. I'm not exactly slow per se - just very nervous about starting my own business.

Here is a tip. Talk to Christian booksellers around the country. Seriously. Its a specialized business and it takes someone who knows that industry to help you. Outside of the specialized nature, an indy bookstore is an indy bookstore. You have to make yourself different from the other bookstores in your area. Give people a reason to come to your store over the others. Music nights, coffee house nights, prayer nights, etc.

There is a part in the video around the 45:47 mark when they talk about the market adjustment and he says in 3 to 6 months. Well some 8 months later the market has adjusted but not in favor of booksellers. Amazon's fees are still high BUT the penny book is almost gone and the "race to the bottom" has slowed. But prices are not significantly higher. I think Jesse will be selling Merch fulfilled on multiple platforms for a long time to come. Frankly, he should have his own website. I would encourage any bookseller who is serious about this business to have their own site. Its cheaper to start and run than a brick and mortar although I am looking at both. I did the multi, multi-channel book sale think back in 2009 to 2011. Its a nightmare even with good software. Cant tell you how many times I double and triple sold a book at the same time even though my software was super fast at removing it from other sites to prevent that over sell from happening. For instance, Amazon says that inventory changes can take up to 15 min. I can tell you from experience it can take longer than that. Even so, 15 min on a fast selling book could mean you sell it first on Half.com but Amazon leaves it up for 5 min and it sells there. Now you gotta cancel one of the order and its not good for your ratings on any site to do that let alone just Amazon.

Thanks so much for this but it was difficult to follow at times because it seems that things were being explained as if the viewer already has knowledge of book lingo and processes like fda, ranks, scanning, etc. Could you explain these more in depth or point me to a place (book, video) where I could learn more about these and how one would look for book dealers, Gaylords, etc. thanks again

I'm live in Delaware, where is your store? I often buy books at the New Castle Goodwill Outlet. I think you bought out Manor Books a couple years ago.

51:56 Computers. Mac's are no longer worth the premium because they now get their own viruses and I have heard a number of folks who had Macs fail them. Also don't go for the cheapest 'puter you can find, you will pay in the end. BUT if you want a cheaper 'puter that is fast and dependable, I hate to say it but Chromebooks are your choice. Inexpensive BUT they are based on Linux and a lot of apps and software do not play well with them.
