I spent a few weeks building a private label brand for Amazon – AMA

Hacker News

Hey there HN! So for the last few weeks I decided I wanted to learn more about selling on Amazon and FBA - so I did what any normal hacker would do. I bought a website - https://www.chargeduck.com - Wrote some funny copy (Well I think its funny, but I suppose thats subjective) and then I went a step further. I called up suppliers, had samples made, designed packaging and even through some of that cheeky copy on the box. As I've been talking to people over the last week or two - especially other entrepreneurs its become apparent that this is a world a lot of people don't understand all that well or even at all. So I figured why not Show you guys what I did and open it up to questions if you're interested. I'll hang around for the next few hours and if you're interested I'll even tell you about what my plans are for the future with this and other products! Looking forward to seeing what you all have to say
