Off Topic: wholesale supplemnts-NOT A SCEME OR MY GAIN

[Guest guest]

Hi, all! FYI:

I'm able to buy supplements/nutrition/personal self care products

(like shampoo, soaps, etc.)/air purifiers, other products wholesale,

so it's cheaper for me. I have a VERY small " health food

store " /nutrition home-based 'business' with just a handful of

customers, mostly to save money by being able to buy my supplements

at wholesale(usually about 50% off retail), but have to make a small

profit so IRS doesn't come after me. So, I order products for a

handful of customers, mostly sick folks to help them get suppl.

cheaper or someone in my church who's gotten sick or needs to get on

better quality supplements to improve their health.

PLEASE understand that I am not advertizing or trying to sell anyone

anything(don't have the energy to add alot of customers due to my own

health), but merely telling others a viable, effective way to save

alot of money for themselves, if you're not on disability and have

even a small amount of energy, you could set up your own home-based

" business " and order most of your own supplements wholesale as I do(I

have very little energy and go for months during acute periods of

being housebound, so this way I can do things at home when I feel up

to ordering products and they are delivered to my door usually via

UPS or Airborne). We used to buy all my supplements

retail, and we were going broke(still spend a small fortune on

health, but save ALOT on supplements).

THIS IS NOT AN MLM OR OTHER

TYPE BUSINESS WHERE I WOULD PROFIT IN ANY WAY-THIS IS YOUR OWN SMALL

BUSINESS THAT YOU CAN DO AS YOU WANT TO WITH(FROM VERY LITTLE, JUST

ENOUGH TO SHOW SMALL PROFIT TO BE 'LEGIT.' BUSINESS TO ADDING MORE

CUSTOMERS TO MAKE SOME EXTRA MONEY TO HELP PAY FOR YOUR OWN SUPPLE.

AND MEDICAL BILLS FROM HOME. FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE COMPUTER SAVVY, YOU

CAN SET UP A WEBPAGE/WEBSITE AND LIST YOUR BUSINESS WITH SEARHC

ENGINES IF YOU WANT TO DO SO AS WELL. I HAVEN'T DONE THIS, SINCE I

WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE CREATE/MAINTAIN WEBSITE SO IT WAS TOO

MUCH HASSLE, BUT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NECESSARY SKILLS OR HAVE FAMILY

MEMBER/FRIEND WILLING TO DO THIS FOR YOU, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET

SOME EASY CUSTOMERS THIS WAY.

If others are interested in how to set this up for themselves(home-

based business so they can order their supplements wholesale, e-mail

me back channel, be glad to give you info.). Believe me, I don't have

much energy and don't spend much time at all on the busines, just a

handful of " customers " , just make enough profit to be OK with IRS/tax

folks.

Some supplements can only be ordered by health professionals, but

most of them you can get in a different brand that's just as good and

order yourself at wholesale if you set up an official " Health food

store " and nutrition business(home-based business).

It was pretty easy in my state. You just had to file a couple of

forms with the state to get a D.B.A(doing business as-a sole

proprietorship, not a corporation), official sales tax number,

have a " business phone number " , and turn in quarterly or yearly

sales tax to state comptroller's office. So, I pay wholesale prices

plus, like a dollar, plus my state sales tax, 7.25% on whatever I

actually use/consume for myself/my husband. Then I sell products for

small profit to a handful of others, so that I run a small profit, so

I'm a legit. business and the IRS won't bug me(US). If you don't show

a profit(even just a small one)after 3 yrs. or so in business, then

IRS may question whether your a legit. business or just doing this

as a hobby.

If you have an interest in more info. about how to do this, you can

back channel me.

NOTICE: CAN'T DO THIS IF YOU ARE ON DISABILITY, WOULD LIKELY BE

CONSIDERED AS A " JOB " AND MIGHT CAUSE YOU TO LOSE DISABILITY. WE

DECIDED IT WAS LESS HASSLE, LESS EXPENSIVE TO SAVE MONEY ON MY HEALTH

THIS WAY AND NOT HAVE TO SPEND ALOT OF MONEY PROVING I WAS UNABLE TO

WORK AND RE-PROVE THIS EVERY 3-4 YRS. WHEN SSDI DECIDES TO RE-

EVALUATE YOUR STATUS. IT'S NOT FOR EVERYONE, SINCE SOME WOULDN'T WANT

THE SMALL AMOUNT OF HASSLE OF KEEPING RECORDS VIA QUICKEN BUSINESS

SOFTWARE/FILING SALES TAX WITH STATE, OR JUST PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO

PULL IT OFF OR YOU SAVE MORE MONEY BEING ON DISABILITY. JUST WANTED

TO THROW IT OUT THERE AS ONE OPTION THAT MIGHT WORK FOR SOME PEOPLE

THAT WOULD HELP YOU SAVE MONEY ON YOUR

SUPPLEMENTS/VITAMINS/HERBS/HAIR/SKIN/SOAPS/TOOTHPASTE/WHEY, ETC.

Hope this is helpful to someone in the group!
