i want to open my own seed bank, im in a need for cash. thats basically the only reason im gonna do it. i have high quality strains ..not all are pure, but i have about 5 pure strains. i think they will sell good.. the question is, how do i strengthen my validity. and become popular amongst seedbanks, as well as keeping my shit underground cuz im out of the states.

1. With about any business, it takes money to make money.
2. You need to be aware of proper breeding practices, not just "pollen-chucking"
3. You strengthen your validity by knowing what you're doing. Also, telling people "i want to open my own seed bank, im in a need for cash. thats basically the only reason im gonna do it" probably ain't a good start
4. Good luck running a seedbank out of the US, cause that's the main thing you need
 
lol i hear ya ganico.. thanks tho

Do you have any test grows to show involving these strains? People don't just buy seed because you want to sell it. Before worrying about anything else you might want to get some test grows so you can show what the product is.

i agree. why would somebodybuy your stock versus a well known company? not knocking you, its just a question you need to ask yourself. why? can you offer something that no one else can? what are your prices? try seedbay. i think they will pick you up after germination tests or something. meanwhile, get yourself put there. lets see what your made of. oh yeah, beta testers wouldnt be a bad idea. get others talking about your work, not just you.

my advice is alot more grow experience, like solid 10K grows. Then worry about breeding for the small time through seed bay.

I would think the last thing an accomplished grower and breeder would have troubles with and thats cash.

If you hang out here for a couple of years or more, you can make friends and connections, show other growers that you know your stuff, post pics of your plants, how you grow, etc.
Your first base of fans are friends you trade seeds with, who will grow your stuff and tell others its bomb. Then, if your strains are appreciated, well-bred and such, your reputation will grow, and you become a breeder by demand.

Seedbanks will pick up on it from there.

Just asking straight off for tips on how to make a living selling seeds sounds a bit odd.
