So you take the plunge and decide to drop ship your stock to your customers on ebay, on your website or pre-made on line store, wow now you should make a fortune from home, after all that's what they told you?
Well how do you succeed only?
Who do you choose to host your site?
Do you dropship on ebay?
How much traffic do you need or want?
How much does this really cost?
It is a fact that 95% of online entrepeneurs will make a loss and in the end quit, why ? because of the amount of competition, the amount of similar site and / or products, not enough traffic to the sites, didn't realise the true costs involved, some gave up to soon.
You need to consider all this before you jump in or you will not make any money and fail, you may go down the same path idea and experience some or little success and get excited and jump on board every offer, every web site, every trend and then fall on your butt and in debt.
My mistake was ebay, I experienced a little success and before I knew it was running 20 auctions a night and sending 10-20 items a day to customers, but the advertising was costing me over 500 dollars a month, that was more than I was paying for my products, then after a while I had some dramas, buyers were reporting that the items were not arriving and the envelopes/packages were arriving empty, so I had to refund them all and replace goods etc. etc. all because I had no insurance on postage and the items were being stolen through the post, hence I went broke and couldn't afford the ebay fees, which were close to 1000 dollars.
So how do you choose what's right for you? How do you get traffic? How do you make money?
During the life of this blog I will share some tips and my secrets, so feel free to share yours, good or bad.
