Selling physical items from your forum

[Nomad]

recently I started selling physical items on one of the forums I co-own. I have added coffee mugs, tshirts and hoodies, I plan to add more products. I have no sale so far but the forum is growing rapidly so I guess I will soon have sales. Have you tried selling physical items from your forums? Did you have sales, how long did it take to generate sales. I am curious to know about this?

It's a nice idea, but how do you deal with orders that might come from people from other countries or a different state from yours?

You are doing well by being flexible thaf a good addition to your forun. it's good to sell physical goods in forums if you can.

If your forum is growing, there's a good chance you'll start seeing sales very soon. Keep promoting your products on the forum and consider offering special promotions or discounts to encourage people to buy.

From where I look at it, it would take your forum growing very big to have millions of active users for you to be able to make sales on physical products from it.

The problem now comes on the shipping of orders to the international buyers.

I will advise you to sell products that is not easily available to people in the street. Nobody will biy mugs, cups and other kitchen items that is easily accessible in the street. You can sell artworks, painting, wood work etc

You must be joking right, a forum is not like a social media site that can get millions of active users, if we can get a couple of thousands, that would be awesome.
