How many times, while looking at items on a sales platform, are you tempted to do the same. Many think that selling in general means putting something saleable on display and then.. you can get started, and they wait for feedback. But that’s not how it is. You can see it, for example, in the dozens of on-the-road shops that open a business and a few months later put up big closing-down signs. People walk by distracted, unconcerned, and move on. Here, selling online or in person is not like in the States. In Italy you have to shoulder a whole series of bureaucratic and tax requirements right away. And then, God help you. In the USA there is no VAT to open or close. There is no registration with a Chamber of Commerce or other red tape. However, you need to have Federal or state permits, depending on the type of business and where you operate. Online or not. A sales agent who sells for a client company can deduct everything. Even the teddy bear he gave his current girlfriend along with the voucher to watch a baseball game. Here you can forget it.Life costs a lot though. Nothing is free. Still, in whatever country the idea of selling is born, you need to know everything that lies behind a sale beforehand. Know whether my item will actually find a market and why. That’s what used to be called having what it takes. Otherwise, as with other activities, the result can be devastating. Especially for those who don’t sell as a hobby, but rely on selling as a means of survival. Determined enthusiasm in any case must be motivated.
