Online Business Brain Dump - Limit Your Sources
There are plenty of companies that claim to have 100,000 or even 1,000,000 products available for you to sell. Warning...be careful! It is very difficult to market and advertise effectively when you have 10 products, much less 1,000. Plus, you have probably heard of small companies who grew too big, too quickly. That can be a real problem and you certainly don't want that to happen to you. The key is to stay focused! It is much easier to become an "expert" in your field if you have a narrow product line to work with. It is better because you are then able to FOCUS all of your efforts on it. You'll want to make your business a niche' market and capitalize on it. It might seem wise to sell "everything under the sun," but it is actually better to specialize in a specific, quality product. This will be more profitable for you than trying to carry a little bit of everything in your inventory. Attempting to meet all customers' needs by selling to EVERY shopper online is crazy! One proven option is to find a drop shipping source that you feel confident in - one that dedicates themselves to drop shipping specifically. A great resource for finding these drop ship suppliers is http://www.worldwidebrands.com. These drop shippers will send the products to your customers after you've made the sale, and you don't have to house the inventory. You will find a lot of quality products to sell on their site and you can learn more about drop-shipping in general. There are many businesses that offer drop shipping services, but unfortunately, it is not their primary focus and it shows! Their drop shipping services seem to be an afterthought because their primary business is always going to be BULK wholesale. After you begin dealing with these types of sources, you might find that the tools and support that you need as a distributor is not quite adequate to meet your needs. Worse yet, they may not exist at all! For example, gaining access to their inventory counts, finding quality images and descriptions from digital downloadable catalogs, and online package tracking are things you will need that may not be available. Here is my great list for finding physical products: Electronics, Books, and DVDs www.ingrambook.com www.techdata.com Housewares and Hardware Vitamins and Consumables www.expoeast.com www.expowest.com Thomas Register Drop Shipping Source Digital Products (Note: This article is part of a mini-course with twenty lessons.
