i read about a lot of vendors who claim to be making bank.
say someone wants to get in the market to make about $100k, then get out. this person knows about OPSEC, bitcoin, stealth, sourcing, etc and has a few grand for startup funds.
hypothetically, how long would it take to develop a customer base and hit that income goal?
Your rep will depend on your actions and quality. Treat your customers as if you are a legit business, top quality stealth, communicate effectively, ship fast and promote an accurate quality of your inventory with prices to match. Any vendor can succeed following a few simple rules. If you're drugs are just shit or too expensive then it will never work out.
