Starting a Industrial hemp store

I do not have much money to start a business so I thought it be ok to start with a onine affiliate marketing store using WordPress with woo-commerce or something similar.

I want to sell bolts f fabric, hemp Crete, seeds for planting, seeds for consumption, oil, paper, animal feed, powder, hearts, and more I wanna make full use of the plant but i dont want to associate with the head crowd too much. so no bongs pipes papers or other thc related paraphernalia.

Once I get enough capital ahead through affiliate marketing I want to make my own brand of products and set up shop in my local community and slowly build a name for myself.

My question is what specific courses do I need to take to build such a business and how much money do I need to start and do any of you have any advice for me ?

I found that going through the track is a good place to start. Also, the "How to Write a Business Plan" course is a must. It looks like you know exactly what you want to do with your hemp company, so you have your purpose down. It also looks like you are refining your audience; no stoners. The business plan will be easy to write with a little research. An easy way to build your brand would be to find low cost hemp related items. Check out Alibaba.com, here is a link:

You can sell these items on your store or even e-bay. For an example you can use hemp, beads, and a clasp, to make hemp jewelry. Very trendy stuff, and it's easy to make. Even though you don't want to associate with the head crowd, they might want to associate with you. I know they want hemp related products, it's part of their culture. Maybe think about advertising or selling your products through a brick and mortar head shop.

Hopefully my answer was what you were looking for. Good luck with the hemp, it's a very versatile material.
