If you want to start your Home-based Internet Business for very
little
money, you need Wholesale Suppliers who Drop Ship.
Why? Because working with drop shippers eliminates the need for you
to
carry expensive inventories. You don't have to rent a warehouse, hire
employees, establish accounts with UPS and FedEx, etc.
You can sell
the best brand names on earth from your home computer, and make good
money at it.Wholesale Suppliers who drop ship send the products you
sell directly from their warehouse to your customer, with your
business name on it. All you do it take the order from your customer
and pass it to the distributor.
You keep the difference between the
wholesale price the distributor charges you, and the retail price you
sell to your customer for.Of course, there are a lot of places out
there that want you to THINK they are wholesale drop shippers.
They'll
set up accounts with, say, 10 real drop ship suppliers. Then they'll
call themselves something like "GetYerStuffHere.com", and claim that
THEY are the wholesale drop ship supplier.
Then it'll go like this:
1. GetYerStuffHere.com will place advertising all over the Internet
proclaiming to be the greatest source that ever existed for all kinds
of great products, and they'll drop ship all those products to your
customer.
2. You'll get all excited because YOU can actually place everything
from Sony electronics to Coleman Camping gear on your web site and
sell it.
3. GetYerStuffHere.com will charge you an account setup fee, to cover
their "processing". (Note: REAL Wholesale Suppliers almost NEVER
charge you an account setup fee).
4. GetYerStuffHere.com will send you a nice, shiny list of products
and show you where to get the product images and descriptions to
place
on your web site.
5. You'll get all excited, and put all this great stuff on your site,
set your prices so that you can make a profit over what
GetYerStuffHere.com.
6. You'll launch your site, and you hardly sell a thing.
Huh? What happened? Nobody's buying! You can't survive on just a few
orders a month!
Disappointed and discouraged, you start to go out and check other web
sites that carry the same products. Maybe they have better images.
Maybe they have cooler descriptions. Maybe their pages look nicer.
You
find that it's none of those things. So what DO you find?
The other sites' PRICES are lower. A LOT lower.
You just got nailed by one of the most popular scams on the Internet.
GetYerStuffHere.com took you for a couple of hundred dollars in
exchange for a CD full of product images. They may have even locked
you into a contract where you have to pay them every month to be a
"member" of their "distributorship".
Oh, GetYerStuffHere.com DOES ship the products they claim to. Of
course they do. It's just that when they get an order from you, they
turn around and place your order with the REAL Wholesale Supplier,
and
take a profit. By the time YOUR price is calculated, you're paying
not
only wholesale, you're paying GetYerStuffHere.com's extra markup of
anywhere from 10% to 30%.
In order for YOU to make a profit, you naturally have to mark up the
prices you get from GetYerStuffHere.com. By the time you do that, you
can't compete on the 'Net. Your prices are just too high.
At this point, you can do one of two things:
1. You can lower your prices to the point where you're making mere
pennies on your products in order to compete.
2. You can bypass these jokers and go to the REAL sources.
I've been in Systems Engineering for 19 years. I've been involved in
ECommerce since it began. In that time, I've seen this scenario
played
out over and over with companies I've done work for.
The real sources can be hard to find. They don't market themselves as
Internet Wholesale Supplier. They are established wholesale companies
who have been supplying big chains like Sears and Kmart for a very
long time.
Many of them are now realizing that a good part of their future lies
in Internet sales, and they are establishing drop ship and light bulk
wholesale programs. There are even a few big name manufacturers who
are beginning to supply Home-based Internet Businesses right from
their factories. That's where YOU need to be. In direct contact with
the actual Wholesale Supplier or factory source.
When you're looking for a drop shipper, here are a couple of things
to
be careful of:
1. Any company that tells you that they'll set up your entire web
site
AND PROVIDE THE PRODUCTS FOR YOU will NOT make you rich. They'll make
THEMSELVES rich on your setup and hosting fees, and you'll piddle
along with thousands of other small sites all selling exactly the
same
things at the same prices.
(NOTE: Don't confuse this with companies who just offer to set up
your
ECommerce web site.
There are a lot of great places out there that
will build and host sites for you. It's when they tell you that you
HAVE to sell the products that THEY provide that you should run for
cover.)
2. Any distributor who wants you to pay a "membership" or "setup" fee
is probably not a true Wholesale Supplier.
3. If it sounds too good to be true, it's too good to be true.
