Thanks to all the STM members that have given me advice and direction to help me make the decisions to follow the path of e-commerce / STM style.

List of resources that I will be using as a blueprint to kick-start the business in the right direction.

1) Caurmens complete ecomm cookbooks
2) STM follow-alongs ( a few favorites )
3) Free intro classes Istack training for FB ads
4) Facebook Blue Print (this looks kinda crap, any opinions on what to study and what to avoid)
5) Oberlo – Mini-Course on Aliexpress Drop Shipping
6) Momentum Marketing Tribe – Facebook Group with Mr Mohamed Ali Aguel
