People still love books. Though e-books are largely growing, people still love the novelty of books especially turning the pages and even the smell of old shelves and paper. A balance of paradox continues to stay among us. If there are people who love fast food, there too are people who love slow or home-cooked food. Much like it, there still are people who loves books while there those who dispenses them.
While there are people who are already hooked in the internet, there are still people who stay in bookstores and libraries to read. That is why bookstores and libraries still stand in malls and even in the corners. Unlike its likely twin, music, book sales are not decreasing. Books still provide substantial information, knowledge and wisdom much like the internet.
If you really love books, establishing a bookstore or library would still earn. Blue chip bookstores are expensive franchises, but selling used and old books is an alternative.
Even then, you still need a working capital. It is cheaper though than franchising but still guarantees buyers. Old books still can sell because of its cheapness like used clothes in flea markets.
You need to raise a substantial fund to cover space rents, inventory and tracking system, storage and furniture like sofa and shelves.
Second, you must find source or supplier or trader of cheap second-hand books of mixed titles. These supply chains will provide you continuous supply of old books. You can start with 3,000 titles first. Cheap paperbacks, magazines, specialty books like comic books, novel books are best title starts unless you are establishing a general bookstore. General bookstores stock fiction, literature, travel, autobiographies, reference materials and others. If you find the right source, instantly sign the joint venture agreement.
Third, find the best location again. Prefer malls.
Fourth, work your business permit or registration and insurance.
Also prepare additional capital if you expand to 6,000 titles for shipment costs like freight, insurance, handling, tariff and custom charges. Buy yourself a truck to transport books from airport or ship port to your bookstore.
Here's to your Success!
