Do You Sell On Line ?
Or should I say do you sell physical products on line ?

You Know like in venues like eBay or yahoo auctions,

Or even your own storefront website.
If you do then you probably already know

That unless you have a brick and mortar
store of some kind

where you get products to sell,

It can be A huge challenge to come up with a steady
supply of products to sell.

You can buy all these memberships to wholesale catalogs,
That everyone and their
uncle already use.

If you are lucky,

You might know someone Who works or deals in a
product thats suitable to sell on line.
Wouldn't that be great.

But Not Everyone has those connections

Then There is the second hand store method,
I find this method very interesting,
In fact I'm writing a whole book just on this subject.
This Is a great sourcing method.

But Its Very Unreliable
First You Never know what you are going to find and when.

Secondly You have to travel around
looking for products, And If You Live in a city
With less than population of 100,000 people
This can be tough.

Lets take that last paragraph a little further.
Firstly The Part about
€ Never know what you will find€
This part is like A double edge sward
First if you try to sell the same product all the time,
There might be times when your product search is fruitless, What Then ?
You run out of product ?
Every marketers worst nightmare. Second : I Like this part,
€ You never know what you will find€.

The old treasure hunter in me comes out again,
Always looking for that lost treasure.

Warning you can get distracted very easily.
And Take it from a real treasure hunter (or is it pack- rat)

Your house will fill up before too long.

I could go on and on, but what would I put in my book ?
Anyway I think you get the point, Here it is in short.

Going around to second hand stores for products is not very reliable
And or consistent With what you are trying to do.
That is make a steady income selling things on line.

So Whats Left ?

This Brings Us To Drop Shipping

Drop Shipping is A Service, That some wholesalers offer to their customers
The way it works is :
Just For The sake of this article I Will make up a caricature his name is Paul.
Ok....
Now Paul wants to sell items on line, Lets say On eBay,
But Paul doesn't know what to sell.
Let alone where to get something to sell.
So One Of Paul's friends tells him

About this website that does drop shipping.
So Paul Checks it out. He Likes what he sees and gets signed up.

These People That Do the drop shipping,
They show Paul over 200,000 products that he can sell on line.
All Paul has to do is use the pictures the drop shipping company
provides to him,
And Paul puts the pictures of the products he decides to sell
on line in his eBay auctions.

Paul makes a whole bunch of listing of high quality name brand products.
Now The shoppers on eBay, They Love Paul's products,
And They start buying like crazy
because his prices are much lower than his competition.

As soon as Paul makes a sale,
He promptly sends the order for the product,

Along with the money the buyer paid for the product to the drop shipper.
And after Paul pays for the product.

He has a bunch of money left over.
Paul Smiles because this is his profit, And he has made a lot of it.
In fact he gets a lot of this profit on every sale he makes.

Now the drop shipper promptly mails the products Paul has ordered, To Paul's
customers, So they get a speedy delivery.
And the drop shipper company doesn't even charge Paul extra money for this service.

And the Drop shipping company puts Paul's label on the products for Paul
So His Customers know who the package is ordered from..

The Drop shipping Company sends Paul's customers orders very quick,
In fact so quick that
they a lot of times reorder from Paul right away.
Paul likes this.
Because its called return business,
And Paul does not even have to run ads for return business.

Now Paul is Happy All The Time Because He Has Lots of money.

Would you like to be like Paul ?
I Can be that friend that gives you the info about a on line company

Just Like it was explained in Paul's Story.
