Comment on How many HNers have dabbled in arbitrage?

Comments

I paid my way through my first college degree with a site where I repackaged another company's services at a markup. People were willing to pay much more than they were asking if only the service were marketed differently, and this company was happy to have the business with me doing the advertising work. My markup was almost 40% and I was pulling in 20-30 customers a day from Google AdWords alone.

Growing my web apps to the same income level as that site was much harder and took much longer.

Did you change the company's name/logo as well?

Can you elaborate please?

I operated under my own name/logo, the customers did not know someone else was filling the orders, they only communicated with me.
