Hi,
I'm not here to bid, just to relate to your ambitions. I've thought about dropshipping, private labeling, affiliate networking, etc. etc. Anything to get me the freedom I am craving.
I think your educational component will be your best marketing tool. Put 'how-to' videos on YouTube, such as "My favorite festival hairstyles". I'm not sure how much income you can generate with YouTube views, but there are also some additional ways of making money with these videos, such as promoting a product with an affiliate link. Or, you could do dropshipping from your own website. For example, you could probably easily dropship argan oil from Alidropshipping. That could be your niche perhaps, promoting natural hair care products and showing viewers you can achieve the same results as with professional brands.
Just some thoughts :) Feel free to reach out to me through chat if you wish.
