Hi everyone, I hope your week is going well. It got really hot out the past few days. Last week we averaged 45 degrees during the day. This week we are averaging over 70 and today was 86 degrees. I’ll tell ya, the weather was never this weird when I was a kid. And I am from New England, so I am use to drastic changes in the weather.
I recently had someone ask me if they should buy from a liquidation or closeout wholesaler, instead of a wholesale distributor. I say whatever fits your needs. If you have room to store large quantities of goods; you are better off buying bulk loads from a liquidator or closeout wholesaler. If you have the money to buy large amounts of goods up front, you should buy from a liquidation wholesaler. Most people starting a business don’t have this kind of money.
Liquidation and closeout wholesalers usually have older models and products. If you want to buy brand new goods I would recommend not buying from a liquidation or closeout wholesaler. But, if you don’t mind purchasing older goods you can go with a liquidator. Some liquidators or closeout wholesalers sell damaged or used goods. Be very careful and read the description of what you are buying before you purchase.
Buying bulk from a liquidator or closeout wholesaler will make you lots of profit. Usually these goods are sold in a pallet for more than half off regular price. Then you can resell them for full retail price and make a killing. Try and find products that are still popular sellers. Stay away from things that used to be popular and are not anymore. Look for products that are still in demand.
Buying from a liquidation wholesaler can lead to problems if you are not prepared. Make sure you are two steps ahead and pay attention to every detail. Some companies try to word a description so you think you are getting more than you really do. Pay attention to delivery instruction especially.
Some companies have a checkpoint (middleman) that will touch the goods on their way to you. The middleman will get a small percentage of the goods to move them along to you. Don’t be alarmed, a point of origin checkpoint is a regular thing when it comes to bulk or pallet loads of goods. A middleman is never a good thing. But it’s very normal with large quantities of product.
A real wholesale distributor won’t have any middlemen. That’s the big difference between wholesale distributors and liquidation and closeout wholesalers. But just remember, a wholesale distributor with middlemen is a bad thing. While middlemen for liquidation and closeout wholesalers are not a bad thing.
I really enjoyed it when I used to buy from liquidation.com. I found some great deals on pallet loads of goods. There are lots of places you can buy wholesale from liquidators. Here are a few good ones;
http://www.4sgm.com/ This is a great place that seems to have everything. I found this place on a website a year back and have used them ever since. They even have a $0.55 per item section in their catalog.
http://www.dollaritem.com/ This place is great. They have tons of cheap items that sell great. They even have a $0.59 and under section in their catalogs.
http://www.viatrading.com/ This is another cool surplus company. They have everything and their list is always changing as they sell a lot.
Besides liquidation.com, I think these three are the best out there. If anyone knows of others, feel free to let us know. If you are looking into liquidation or closeout wholesalers make sure you know all the rules in your city. Some cities do not allow you to store large quantities of items without a permit to do so. You probably need a warehouse or storage area in order to bypass a permit/s. But check your local laws first.
Good luck shopping everyone. Liquidation wholesalers can make you lots of rollover profit.
If you have any questions, just ask me. Thanks for reading my blog everyone!
Hi everyone, I hope your weekend was full of greatness! It rained all weekend. But you can finally feel the warmth in the air. I love the spring time because it promotes growth. Speaking of that, I will keep tonight’s post kind of short, because I am re-designing one of my blog websites. I was getting so sick of the winter. I really do love the cold weather and changing seasons. But, sometimes I wish we had an off and on switch, lol. Our winter climate here in New England can last 5-7 months on average.
I don’t want to bore you with talking about the weather. Yesterday, I promised you a few places to buy good products for cheap money. The three places I am going to tell you about can make you lots of turn around profit if you are planning to re-sell the goods. Even, if you want to buy someone a gift cheaper than retail. And you don’t need a business license or any tax id’s to buy from these companies.
I get a lot of people asking me if I know any places to buy wholesale without a business license or tax ID’s numbers. I don’t recommend buying from places like Doba or Simplx. Their supposed wholesale prices are not real wholesale prices. You can’t legally buy wholesale without a tax Id or business license. But there are ways around it. You can buy from surplus auction websites. There are tons or surplus and auction surplus websites around the internet. Airport surplus auctions happen all the time on ebay. Just do a search for the airports name and look them up on ebay. Major airports around the USA post surplus auctions on ebay. All the things they confiscate are usually new items. Some items are still in the box.
Here are the three places that will change the way you buy things to re-sell; if you don’t have a business license or tax Id numbers. You can find cheaper prices than ebay on these websites. That means you can re-sell most of this stuff on ebay and other auction marketplaces.
1. Samsclubauctions - auctions.Samsclub.com is a great place to buy quality goods at wholesale prices or cheaper. I know, I have said don’t sign up for places that make you pay a membership fee. But, Sam’s club auctions will pay for itself in your first purchase. If your workplace is already a member of Sam’s club, you can join for free. Or you can pay $30-$100 a year for several different services. Sam’s club auctions are set up very professionally. Just to give you an example of the prices you will get. It’s not unusual for 50″ HD Plasma Televisions to sell for $800.00 or less. Samsung, Hitachi, Pioneer, Panasonic, all kinds of name brands.
2. Dellauction - Dellauction.com is a great place to buy computers to resell on ebay. It’s common to see brand new and refurbished computers selling for under $200.00. The good items sell for well under MSRP. This is as close to wholesale as you will find for computers and peripherals. Give them a try; you will make some great money reselling the goods you buy there.
3. Onsale - Onsale.com is a great place to find brand new electronics for huge discounts. You may not find wholesale prices at onsale.com; but you will find some great discounts. You can make some really good profit if you plan to re-sell. Or if you want to pick up a gift for yourself or someone else. Check them out if you get a chance.
Thanks for reading everyone. I should be done with the new blog design in the next few days. Don’t be alarmed if you see some weird colors on the website. It may take me a few days to experiment with the colors. See you tomorrow.
The most common thing that can go wrong in drop shipping is: You sell the item and your drop shipper has run out of stock. If you have another distributor that sells the same products you are saved. A good drop ship company will let you know when items are out of stock or discontinued. Most drop shippers want to know what their retailers are selling, so they can inform them of such changes.
Back in the day when there where only a few good drop shippers out there, the out of stock problem would happen a lot. As time went by things changed for the better as technology became our friend more and more. Back orders seemed to take half as much time. You could really tell that the drop shippers were making an effort for your customers. Having a good drop shipper is key to being informed about product updates.
Discontinued items can really hurt you also. Some products are only released for a few short weeks or months. Then the manufacturer notices glitches or product defects and the item is recalled or discontinued. So many times an item sells and makes really good money for you; then the manufacturer discontinues the product for whatever reasons.
Again, if you have a good drop shipper, they should keep you informed of any products that are discontinued. Having a back-up distributor can save you when a product is discontinued. The other distributors might have a few products left in stock. It might even be a good idea to buy all the remaining products in stock if it is a good seller. Since the products are no longer for sale through the manufacturer, it may be in high demand.
It is also your responsibility to always research and know what products are out of stock or discontinued. It’s nice to have your distributor keeping you informed of product changes. But don’t rely on them. At the end of the day, you are the one that has to relay bad news to your customers.
Thanks for reading my blog everyone. See you all tomorrow.
When was the last time you saw a sport star that got happy when he was beat on the field by another player? Probably never…. When he got outdone on the field, you may notice them become angry about it. He may feel like he isn’t as good as the other player and that is a negative thought. Now he has talked his brain into believing he isn’t as good. This can all happen in a split second subliminal thought. Right away, the endorphins in his brain from being negative made him angry or upset. The player that beat him probably got a happy feeling or started smiling about it. Not because he made a good play, but because his brain received positive endorphins that made him happy. Those positive endorphins will guide him to believe he is better than that other player now. He may not get those endorphins through the rest of his sports career. But like a drug, he will get high off of positive energy long enough to finish the game. Most players have great games when these endorphins kick into the brain. Positive energy is a very powerful weapon.
Being positive as much as you can will actually expand your happy personality traits. Your brain will get addicted to the feeling of happiness because it is always being sent positive endorphins that cause you to be happy. The more positive chemicals that are sent to the brain, the more endorphins are being reached, and the more your brain needs to feel that way. Your brain is capable of being more addicted to happiness than heroin. Natural endorphins can over power any drug. Your brain is a very powerful tool.
That’s why if you are negative all the time, your brain will receive endorphins that will make you unhappy or grouchy all the time. You brain gets addicted to whatever endorphins are sent to it on a regular basis. That’s why people that are angry and grouchy seem to be like that all the time. They have actually caused their brain to be addicted to feeling grouchy and angry all the time.
There have been studies that show your brain only needs what you give it. If you are always feeding your brain positive thoughts, it will reward you with the feeling of happiness. Your brain will never crave endorphins from negative thoughts if you don’t show it how it feels to be negative. If your brain doesn’t crave negativity, you are less likely to feel unhappy in situations you should be happy about.
Ever notice how negative or crabby people don’t get happy, even when they should be? They are not trying to play it cool. Their brain is just used to being that way. They could win the lottery and seem like they don’t get happy. If they do react in happiness, they won’t get as happy about winning the lottery if their brain received that positve feeling a little more. It is normal to feel emotions. But when your brain gets an overload of one emotion it can be dangerous. Negative energy can throw all your other emotions off track. Your brain will actually get confused if it is not used to a certain emotion. Just like when people go into shock when they receive terrible news. Their brain wasn’t used to it. Their brain got confused because it wasn’t used to receiving the endorphins that created that feeling.
Negative personalities are catchy too. Be careful who you hang out with or listen too. It takes 100 positives to overcome one negative thought. So if you listen to a person full of negativity all day, they could bring you to a feeling of negativity until you get back into your groove. Angry people stay angry for a reason. The negativity has got a hold of them and now their brain is addicted to the feeling of negativity and grouchiness.
You know the story the little engine that could. Everyone had a negative energy about getting up the hill. Except the little engine that could. He told him self over and over that he could do it. I think I can, I think I can. Then when he got over the hill he said I thought I could, I thought I could. He actually told his brain he was capable of it and believed he could do it. When he made it up the hill, he rewarded his brain with the positive thought of, I thought I could. His brain got 2 totally different kinds of positive reinforcement endorphins. One set to tell him he was capable of it and another set to congratulate himself upon completing the task. Now his brain will more likely be positive toward the next impossible looking task.
It goes to show you that you can do anything you believe in. Lots of ancient civilizations strived to have mind over body. From martial arts to capitalism. Everyone that was successful though time did it because they believed they could do it. Bill Gates didn’t create Microsoft overnight, but he believed himself the whole time in creation. That made it a reachable and achievable task. Positive energy and constant positive endorphins to Bill’s brain got him where he is today. Bill taught himself to be very positive no matter what. If you ever met Bill Gates, you’ll notice he is a very happy person.
Everyone will be affected by negative energy and be angry or crabby from time to time. That’s a very natural human emotion. But it is not normal to be negative with every thought. Teach yourself to overcome obstacles with positive thought. You can make a huge difference in the outcome of your life. Every negative emotion needs to be over come by many positive ones. If you lose your job, your thoughts should not be, what do I do now? They should be, that’s okay, I can find another job as easy as I got this one.
Close your eyes, see it, and believe you can. Those are the three keys to being positive on a daily basis. Before you make each decision through the day, take a step back, to see and believe in it. Give your brain the endorphins it needs to accomplish tasks easier. Positive thoughts create happy ones. Positive thoughts create a happy future. A happy future is a successful one. Give it a try.

Get into drop shipping slowly. The competition is hard enough as it is. Rookies will find no success in drop shipping on ebay. Drop shipping on ebay is very competitive nowadays. You have to find a niche. Even when you find a niche, it could only last a few weeks or months. Make all the money you can from each niche until it’s not in demand anymore. Niches fade as time and fads change. You have to be very experienced in researching what is selling and what is not selling. Ebay is the best place to find out what items are hot. Even if you don’t sell on ebay. You can find lots of ways to find what items are hot on this blog post I made. http://thehomedropshipguide.com/blog/ebay-hot-items/
There is way more than just constant research to know when you start drop shipping. If you have made your mind up about drop shipping, take it in small to moderate steps. The only way to get experience with something is to do it. Hands-on is the best experience. People seem to learn things better when they actually do it. You can learn from your mistakes with hands on experience. You will also be able to understand directions when you have an idea of what is going on. Understanding and learning new skills always take practice. But when you are spending money to make money, you need to make as few mistakes a possible.
After you do your research and find a product with your drop shipper give it a try. But try to sell only one or maybe two items(one to two auctions) at a time. Follow through with the transactions and learn how things go with your drop shipper. Learn the process of drop shipping when someone wins an ebay auction. Once you learn the process of drop shipping you can start to expand to sell more items. But only if you feel comfortable that you know what you are doing and know the process.
When you sell one or two items at a time until you are used to things; you can benefit in many ways. You can test out each drop shipper to see how their service and products are compared to other drop shippers. You will learn the routine of being a retailer through a drop shipper. Experience will make you look more professional because you won’t make as many mistakes as a rookie drop shipper. I recommend signing up with a few drop shippers. Shop around for drop shippers. Every drop shippers prices will be different from another one. Some will have lower prices and other drop shippers prices will be very high. Don’t be afraid to shop around for drop shippers like you would shop around for a car.
Your customers want to deal with a professional, not some kid. They want a smooth transaction and a product that is, what you say it is. Remember, you can’t be professional about something you don’t know about. Do as much research as you can before you jump into drop shipping with both feet. Especially if you are new to ebay. Yes, ebay makes it very easy to make money. But you won’t make money with no experience.
If you already know ebay, I would still throw caution to drop shipping until you get to know the world of drop shipping. Some wholesale/drop shippers don’t care about your ebay customers or your ebay business. They just care about sales. But there are lots of wholesale/drop ship companies that care a lot about you and your customers. You just have to search until you find some that you like. Find a few drop shippers that understand and know that your customers mean more money for their business. They are usually not some fly-by-night companies. Fly-by-night drop shippers are the ones to watch out for. They are just out to make money.
When you are ready for drop shipping you will know it. Search for a few drop shippers to use. Don’t settle for just one drop shipper. What happens if one of your drop shippers is out of stock and you sell something? You need a back-up plan. The best back-up plan you can have with drop shipping; is having a few drop shippers for contacts. Using a few drop shippers that sell the same items can really help you. It will make price shopping a little easier for you also.
Make sure if you try drop shipping, you take it in baby steps. Drop shipping is not cut out for everyone. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
Thanks for reading my blog everyone!
There is too much bogus information about home business on the internet from people that just copy and paste BS on their blog or website. They have no experience and just believe anything somebody says on a web page. So i figured, in my free time I can blog and help people.
But mainly, my goal with this blog is to steer people away from scams and bogus content. And at the same time I want to answer questions and help people. I hate get rich quick scams around the internet. Lots of people fall prey to them everyday and I am really sick of it. The thing I really hate about scams online are the ebooks that come along and say you can be rich overnight. That will never happen.
I have written a couple of ebooks to help people, just because of all the scams with ebooks out there. My ebooks do well, as they are special. I do not just sell an ebook to you. I back it up with my experience by helping along the way. That’s something nobody else is doing. Most people have never even used the information they sell as ebooks. It is usually just information they found online somewhere. I do charge money for my ebooks, as my customers get VIP service and work I can’t do for free. I do go the extra mile for people that buy my ebooks. When someone purchases an ebook they get 3(more if needed) months of tutoring from me. I offer unconditional help with things like researching and finding wholesalers you want, to showing you step by step anything you can’t figure out. I won’t advertise my ebooks on this post, as they do well already.
Who knows, maybe I can start a trend and experienced people will start writing ebooks and sell them along with experienced tutoring. Offer a money back guarantee and all the scam artists will be forced to do something else for a living. If you can’t help someone with questions about your ebook or how to do the subject in your ebook, you shouldn’t be allowed to sell it.
I do have a couple on blogs. Two blogs are for fun. I do use one blog to make money. I have advertisements and took some advice from the great John Chow among others. I don’t make much with the blog but that’s fine. It’s a learning experience and I am not in it for the money anyway. I want to help people learn how to make money at home. Even part time, anything extra helps. I know how it is to be scratching your head at home saying “how can I make money at home or online?” I was that person ten years ago.
I have been using ebay for about ten years. I met this great guy in 1998 who was always telling me how much money he made on ebay. He was nice enough to show me the ropes and get started on ebay. Maybe I got wanting to help people from him. Ebay was how I started making money from home online. I have expanded to many other marketplaces as auction marketplaces are my specialty. As you know, I do not list my auction marketplace ID’s anymore for sabatage reasons. Sad to say but, almost as soon as I started showing my auction id’s on my blogs(especially ebay) I noticed frantic fraud bidding and an avalanche of scam artists. So I don’t advertise my auctions or stores on my blogs anymore. They get enough exposure already on those marketplaces anyway. As you can tell, from the tips and information I give people on my blog; it’s not like I need the help when it comes to making money online.
For the past six months I have been teaching myself affiliate marketing. My goal is to get away from selling and live off of affiliate marketing instead (Don’t worry, I will always have my home business blogs. I think teaching people correct ways to bring in a little extra money at home is very important). I am finding out there is less work and stress involved with affiliate marketing. All you do is list a company link on one of your websites and when customers click that link you get paid in different ways; depending what that person does on that companies website. There are all kinds of tricks and tips to learn to be an affiliate marketing master. But that’s just like anything else. Practice makes perfect.
I would like to thank my friends around the net who have been kind enough to give me advice on how to market and advertise my websites. I get lots of great advice on young entreprenuer, a forum I visit to get and give home business advice. You see, I am using this kind of A&M knowledge to build experience of making and bringing traffic to my dream business website someday. Marketing and advertising is the most important part of having a website. If nobody knows you have a website, how can they visit it? Over the past six months I have become an advertising and marketing genius.
I think overall I will probaby stick with ebay through thick and thin until something else comes along better. Right now ebay has all marketplaces cornered. Ebay is pretty much the monopoly of auction marketplaces right now. There is too much money to be lost by taking ebay out of the equasion. History always repeats though. Someday something will come along bigger and better than ebay.
But I will always be here for my readers, I love to help people. I have developed quite a following with this blog and I thank you. Now I have found a new love for blogging. Helping people go hand and hand on my blogs. Anyone with questions about making money at home will not be ignored on my blog. In my years of helping people only one person has not been successful. And to tell you the truth, I don’t think they tried.
I do my best to post on my blogs everyday for you, although sometimes it’s just not possible. When I do post, it is usually answering someones question or giving information they asked about. I find answering my readers questions is most useful to everyone. I have been answering questions along with any tips or tricks I can give in a blog post. So, if you have any questions about making money at home, feel free to ask me. It doesn’t cost anything to ask me questions, don’t be shy:) I really am just someone who cares and wants to help you. Times are tough enough without trying to avoid scams too. I would hate to see anyone make a costly mistake they could have avoided. I have helped people from all around the world make money at home.
Thanks for reading my blog everyone. Have a great day!
Check out your local flea market. You don’t have to be special to reserve a spot to sell your goods there. You just have to make arrangements and pay for your spot/table. Then you can sell any goods you have. Some people will pay full price without trying to talk you down. Other customers will try and wheel and deal their way to a good bargain. Either way, you will make tons of money at a flea market because of the volume of customers you will get.
My niche at the flea market was jewelry and lingerie. Find your niche and go for it! You don’t even have to sell name brand merchandise. People are at a flea market to find things for a good price. You won’t make as much money if your product cost a hundred dollars or more. So as long as the price is right, you will make money. There are tons of wholesalers who offer some really great priced goods that are not name brands. Buy some no-name goods wholesale and resell them at the flea market. You can make some profit and sell an interesting product at a great price for the people at the flea market.
Flea markets are also known for having goods you can’t find anywhere except a flea market. Who cares if you aren’t offering anything you can buy in retail stores. People visit flea markets for the experience of finding something different than you can find in regular stores. You don’t need name brand products to make money at a flea market. Weird and rare things sell remarkably well at flea markets(the same rule holds true for ebay). Take my word for it, find something good to sell that you can get for a great deal. Get enough stock to last you the whole flea market length. Buy a table/spot at your local flea market. Be prepared to make some serious money. Bringing home over five thousand dollars in a weekend is not out of the ordinary when you sell at a flea market.
At a flea market you probably won’t find someone selling the same thing as you. No competition means more money! Maybe do a scan of the flea market the weekend before you plan to sell and scope things out. Find out who is selling what and where they are. Map out your plan of what to sell and where to sell it at the flea market. The key is finding a good spot to sell your goods. The good tables are worth paying the extra money if it means a location where more people will see you.
Buying from flea markets can be a great score also. When you are a seller at a flea market, you usually get there early in the day. Which means nobody is there shopping yet. The early bird gets the worm. Hit two birds with one stone. Scope the place out for the best deals of the day from the other sellers there. I have found tons of things I have made really good money from at flea markets. Buy it cheap at the flea market and resell it on ebay for tons more money.
That’s right, just beware of counterfeit and fake goods: And you can make some great money from buying at flea markets and reselling on ebay. From simple things like snow globes, nick-nacks, to collectibles, and decorations. All kinds of things are at flea markets with lots of ebay potential. Heck, if you have your own website; list the goods you buy from the flea market there so you can make money without paying ebay fees. Either way, the rewards are very much worth it when you are a regular visitor to flea markets.
I look at flea markets, yard sales, and things like that as potential gold mines. You always hear stories of people finding really good things there. I have found some really good profit makers through the years just because of flea markets and yard sales. So, look in your local paper. Check out all the flea markets. Go take a leisure visit and see what you can find. Take the family if you can’t leave the house without them. You will have fun and probably make some money. At the same time; see if there can be a future for you selling at the flea market. I bet you can, goodluck!
Thanks for reading my blog everyone. Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi everyone, I hope you’re doing good. Someone recently asked if they could get in trouble for selling counterfeit or fake goods. This is a tricky question, because there are a few answers. And it depends where you live also. Most countries have strict rules against making or selling counterfeit goods. Other countries could care less. The funny thing is; most countries make counterfeit goods illegal to sell, but it’s okay to have it in your possession in small quantity. I don’t think I will ever understand federal laws, I just obey them.
General rule of thumb, if your country has federal laws, chances are it is VERY ILLEGAL to make or sell counterfeit/fake goods of any kind. If you’re country does not have a federal laws, chances are your country could care less if you make or sell counterfeit or fake goods.
But there are ways around it also. If it is a look-a-like without the company logo or name is is not considered a fake or counterfeit. You can sell this legally as long as you don’t promote it as the brand name in question. But, if the item has either the company brand logo or name on it anywhere it is considered a fake/counterfeit and it is VERY ILLEGAL to buy or sell. “If it has the brand name or logo on it, it doesn’t even have to resemble the product to be illegal to sell”.
Counterfeiting a brand name is a major federal crime. Trademark and copyright infringment are a huge problem in the USA right now and can come with jail time and/or big fines. There are over one hundred thousand counterfeiting rings that were busted last year.
Some people say you are okay if you don’t advertise the brand name. This is only okay if your product doesn’t have a company name or logo on it anywhere. Look-a-likes with out a company name or logo are tolerated if they are not advertised as the brand name product.
Look-a-like items are items that look like a brand name item without any company name or logo on it. You may have noticed some people who sell look-a-like items and they advertise it as “Compare to Oakley” or “Just like Oakley”. Even though it looks the same, it’s not illegal to sell because it doesn’t have a logo or brand name on it and they are not promoting it as a brand name product. Federal laws have really weird rules. I don’t see the difference, but apparently they do.
I always hear stories of people getting in trouble for buying fake goods from China. This is very popular. Don’t fall for cheap prices in China. Most wholesalers from China make counterfeit and fake merchandise. They make a living off of it. The problem is, it’s against the law to most of the world. But China is not a democracy, they do not have any federal laws or regulations. Therefore, they don’t need to follow rules set by other countries that have to follow the federal laws. That’s why China can sell counterfeit or fake goods and not get in trouble.
Most people that have been getting in trouble, have been getting caught on receipt of the goods. China or another counterfeiter will ship the goods to it’s customer. When the customer receives the goods, a team of officials arrest the customer. Most of the people caught for selling counterfeit goods have been doing it a long time. There has probably been a sting operation going on for quite sometime if you are caught selling counterfeit goods.
Big name brand companies that have been the victim of counterfeiting have created sting teams to constantly do research and catch counterfeiters. When you sell the goods, the sting team will purchase it. Then they inspect the item to find out if it is a fake. If the team can confirm the item is fake and you are selling fake goods under their brand name, you will be investigated. The investigation will go on until they can catch all the people involved so they can catch the entire counterfeiting ring.
Just because you have seen people selling counterfeit or fake goods and they didn’t get in trouble, doesn’t mean it’s okay for you to sell it. Don’t worry, someday those counterfeiters will be caught. Big countries like China thrive on counterfeit goods. The truth is, people don’t mind buying-to-own counterfeit goods. Even if they know it’s fake, most people don’t mind. Some of it is made better than the real stuff. So they get a better product for a fraction of the price. But it doesn’t make it right. It is still against the law for most of us. And for those that are selling counterfeit goods and shouldn’t be; they will be caught someday.
If you are selling counterfeit or fake goods for a long time, you will probably be investigated soon if you aren’t being investigated right now. My advice to you is to stop right away and don’t contact the counterfeiters again. The sting teams can’t bust countries like China because of the laws. But instead, they bust the recipients of the goods coming from China and other known counterfeiting locations. If you are buying counterfeit goods from someone, you are considered being part of a counterfeiting ring.
It’s not a very good idea to sell counterfeit goods. I know, it doesn’t seem like you are hurting anyone by selling counterfeit goods. I don’t see the big deal either. But big brand name companies have really put some weight on law enforcement to stop counterfeiting. Law enforcement takes counterfeiting as serious as robbing a bank. You get a big fat federal charge to sit on your record for the rest of your life.
Play it safe people. If you think the deal is to good to be true, or if the price is way to cheap something is wrong. Counterfeit and fake items are very easy to spot as they sell for a fraction of the price the real thing would sell for. Don’t make the same mistake thousands of people just like you have already made. Don’t sell fake or counterfeit goods thinking you are not breaking the law. Because you are!
I hope this helps the person that asked me about selling counterfeit or fake goods. If anyone has any questions, I would be happy to help you.
Hi everyone, I hope you had a good weekend. I recently had someone tell me they were brand new to ebay. They wanted to know if they could make three thousand dollars a month right away. Three thousand dollars a month is a lot of money to start making right away. I told them maybe in 3 to 6 months time when they get the hang of things. I gave them the tip of starting slow and making three thousand dollars a month will just happen as you stick with it.
The more you do something the easier it becomes. You can’t expect yourself to list one hundred auctions a week right off the bat, if you don’t understand ebay yet. You could lose hundreds or thousands of dollars in auction fees. You have to do extensive research to know what sells. Then you have to find some good products to market. You’re better off learning the ropes slowly on ebay these days.
I always say; start off by selling an item each night. Something around your house that you don’t need anymore. Believe it or not; ebay is a great place to sell used items. Especially if you can’t acquire that item in a store anymore. Instead of throwing away something you thought was junk, ebay would be a great place to get rid of it. You will learn a lot as you make each transaction on ebay. As easy as ebay sounds to use, there is a lot to learn.
Take a look in your attic, basement, or garage. I am sure you have something to sell on ebay. At the same time, you will be learning at your own pace. That’s what it is all about when you first start on ebay. Don’t worry about what other people are doing on ebay. Do things at your own rhythm until you get the hang of it. And most importantly; stick with it or you will forget what you learned.
Buy a few things on ebay. Get to know the other side and how things work in opposite shoes. Then you can see how other sellers do things and pick up some pointers from them. I know sellers on ebay that have never bought an item there yet. All they do is sell. You guessed it, those are the ones that still don’t have a clue. Ebay is a great place to buy something and catch a great bargain. Just check out the sellers feedback and make sure they have a good reputation.
If you’re new to ebay, don’t worry about buying anything wholesale right now. Don’t worry about having items drop shipped yet either. As I said, just make some transactions on ebay with items around the house you don’t want anymore. Buy some items. Make at least 10-20 transactions on ebay before you try going all out. You need to learn by hands on experience, before you jump in with both feet. Ebay isn’t the same place it used to be. You have to know all kinds of tips and tricks to avoid high auction fees now.
What if you spend four weeks on ebay and you end up owing over five hundred dollars in action fees with no profit? It happens to new ebayers that take things too fast all the time. If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone tell me they owe more than they made on ebay this month. It’s sad that people think they can jump right in and start making money.
Ebay used to be that easy. Back when I started selling on ebay in 1998, it was very easy to make a living there. There wasn’t much competition as a seller. You could list a bunch of items and they would all sell with little, to no competition. It was you and maybe another seller or two that were selling the same item in that category. Three other sellers was a lot of competition back then, lol. Now there are millions of ebay users that sell the same item. So ebay is not all it’s cracked up to be anymore.
Ebay has television commercials and the reputation to back it up. But with higher ebay fees and lower prices by scammers, ebay could be going downhill. Ebay has been an auction marketplace monopoly for about ten years now. Users have always looked for other auction marketplaces to move to- Amazon- Yahoo Auctions(doesn’t exist anymore). But there is no other place like ebay that will bring you traffic and sales without marketing something.
You can make a lot of money on ebay. And ebay is very easy to use. But it takes years to master and make a living on ebay. Ebay has changed a number of rules, countless times as the years have gone by. I remember when you could list any item for under a dollar. I don’t think you could even spend two dollars to list an auction in 1998. Ebay has become too commercial to make a living on, unless you know the ropes.
There are other places on the internet that are trying to become auction marketplaces like ebay. We, the users have to make that change if we want ebay to change their ways. Ebay knows they can raise fees and get away with it. They know they can get away with things some place like Amazon couldn’t get away with. Is traffic and instant marketing that important to us? And let this auction marketplace giant called ebay walk all over us.
I love ebay, don’t get me wrong. But in the past two years I have seen ebay make some really bad decisions. Usually the type of decisions being made like this lead to the company not being around very long. Someday, as silly as it sounds; ebay won’t be the same auction marketplace giant it has become. Someone bigger and better always comes along. You’ll see, history always repeats itself.
Thanks for reading my blog everyone. See you tomorrow.
First off, bad credit doesn’t mean you can’t start your own business. You will have more challenges than the average person, but you can still do it. Don’t let bad credit prevent you from reaching your goals. There are ways around everything. In the long run, you should try and fix your credit, as you will need it as you get older. You need good credit to buy cars and houses among just a few things we buy as adults.
Okay, the first question asked about bad credit with wholesalers. All you need is a credit card with wholesalers. You can even use your debit card, as long as it is a Mastercard or Visa. Most wholesalers will have you fill out a few forms that are required to activate your account with them. One of those forms is a collateral or credit form. Since you are a home business, wholesalers do not require you to fill out anything about collateral or credit. This form is for bigger companies. Companies that want to get products up front and pay later from the wholesaler need to fill this type of form out. Since you are a home business, you only need to list a credit/debit card to pay for your goods. Just list your credit card information and skip the collateral section. You do not have to worry if you have bad credit. You can still set up an account with wholesale distributors.
When you put a credit card on file with the wholesale distributor, they will keep that card and use it when you make a purchase. Every time you call them with an order, they will automatically bill the credit card on file with them. You don’t even have to continuously give them your credit card number every time you order something. The credit card you leave on file with the wholesaler can be a personal or business credit/debit card. Just make sure you always have money on the card as you make purchases. If your credit card on file ever declines with the wholesaler, they may cancel your account with them.
As for the bank question: They asked if they would run into problems if they try and open a bank account with bad credit. There are a couple of reasons you might run into problems if you try and open a bank account with bad credit.
If you owe any bank money, you will not be able to open a bank account with any bank. All banks have a system in place where: if you owe any bank, any money at all, it will show all banks that you owe money to another bank. Here is an example; if you owe money to Bank of America, you can’t go to Enterprise bank and open an account. If you went to Enterprise and tried to open a bank account, their computer system will tell them you owe money to another bank. And they won’t let you open an account until you pay that bank back.
It doesn’t matter if the banks are connected through business or not. Even though the banks are not connected with each through business, the banks computers are all linked for fraud protection. So they will see all debts you owe to other banks. Then the bank will look at you like a bad investment. So clear up your debt with the bank you owe money to, or you will run in to problems.
The bank doesn’t care what other debts you owe. As long as you don’t owe another bank money, they will overlook all your other debts or bad credit. Banks are very lenient to open an account with them. I would say that’s a pretty good deal, to overlook all my debts and bad credit(other than money owed to another bank) to open an account with any bank. They want your money in their bank.
Okay, remember how I said you only need a credit/debit card to start an account with a wholesaler? How do you keep a credit card on file if you can’t get one? Obviously if you have bad credit, you probably don’t own a credit/debit card. This is what you can do…Go to any bank that gives Visa or Mastercard as a debit card. Open a checking account and ask for the debit card with your account also.
Now that debit card can be used as a credit card with any wholesale distributor. Make sure the credit/debit card from the bank is a Visa or Mastercard. Now any purchases you make with that credit card will be pulled out of your checking account. This credit/debit card you get for your checking account is interest free, so it’s better than a regular credit card. And you can only spend the money you have in your checking account, so you are less likely to overspend.
This is the tricky part: What if you owe the bank money? If you owe any bank any money at all, you won’t be able to start an account with that bank or any other bank. That means you can’t open a checking account and get your Visa or Mastercard. The only way around this is to pay the bank you owe money to. If it is a lot of money start saving now. The only way to get you out of this mess is to be responsible and pay that bank back. You will always need a bank account in your life, so it’s well worth it. Having a bank account will make life so much easier on yourself.
I wouldn’t recommend a secure credit card. Secure credit cards are probably the worst out there. They charge you interest on your own money. So don’t even think about a secure credit card. You will just make things worse for yourself. Go pay back that bank you owe money to. If you don’t owe money to any bank; go open that checking account and acquire your credit/debit card. Remember, make sure the bank offers a credit/debit card that is a Visa or Mastercard, so you can use it anywhere like a credit card.

I have been wanting to talk about Build a Niche Store for a while, but I wanted to test it out first. Today I am going to review the famous Build a Niche Store, otherwise known as BANS. For a couple of months I had a little team of people testing this product. It claims you can build an ebay business without selling anything yourself. In my personal opinion, this is a great setup for beginners or expert ebayers. You don’t even need to be an ebay member. You just have to sign up as an ebay affiliate.
Bans works like an affiliate. You build a store that automatically contains ebay items of your choice. Every time you make a sale, you get an affiliate commission for being an ebay affiliate. BANS is genius and I am surprised nobody else has come up with this idea to make money. You will earn 20% to 75% commission on each item you promote and sell.
All you have to do is select what country you live in. Or you can choose what country you want to focus your sales. They let you choose .com(USA), .ca(Canada), .uk(United Kingdom), or .au(Australia) country codes. Now you will be promoting products on the ebay marketplace in the country you choose.
Then you pick what products/niche you want to sell. What I like best about this is, you can choose categories like; video games, cell phones, DVDs, or clothing. As you know, these products are very impossible to get at wholesale prices if you are a home business. So why not promote the stuff you can’t buy wholesale. You can pick any category/niche that ebay marketplace has to offer. That’s the best part. You don’t ever have to look for a wholesale distributor ever again. Just choose a niche and it will list some great products from ebay that WILL SELL on to your BANS website. Including all those low priced goods you couldn’t compete with even if you tried.
Next, they let you develop your BANS website. You can go into the admin control panel and pick what options you want your website to have. You can change the way your website will look. I like how you can customize the website to fit whatever theme you have. You can actually transform your website theme in to a professional website with great items for sale very easily.
They tell you to do the obvious next. Promote your website to the online world. They give some great tips to promote your website if you don’t know how. You can learn how to market your website on a post I made here also. Aren’t you sick of not being able to promote your website on ebay? This is the next best thing. You can promote a website that has ebay items.
When you are familiar with the BANS system you can build yourself a store for any niche/category. We got 5 stores up and running. Every one of them are making money for us. Not many of the goods offered on your BANS store is high priced. You get all of ebays products for each category, so there is a wide vary of competitive pricing for each item as well.
When a visitor clicks on to an item on your website, it puts a cookie on their computer for 30 days. If that visitor decides to purchase the item within 30 days, you get credit for the sale and get a commission of 20% to 75% of the revenue ebay makes from the sale. If you had a BANS store with vehicles from ebay, your commission for each sale would be huge.
The themes you can choose with BANS are very professional and very easy to use. The stores can be customized by a beginner user just as easy as an advanced user. That’s the best part about BANS; it is universal for beginner and expert web builders. There is even a member forum to help anyone with anything they need help with. You can find everything there from building your store to tips and secrets to help you make more money with your BANS website.
You can choose from over 60 thousand products through out ebay to sell. YOU CAN GET COMMISSION ON ANY ITEM LISTED ON EBAY!! How can you beat that? BANS is by far, the best tool out there to promote ebay products. Because you can make money for selling products you don’t have to touch. Transactions are made and you do nothing except sit back and promote the store. You don’t have to ship anything or buy any products to sell ever again. You don’t have to list thousands of products on ebay or your website every night. Products are put on your website automatically when you choose your niche.
I highly recommend BANS to everyone. I have put it to the test and it passes with flying colors. BANS is an automatic money maker. You can make more money doing less with a BANS store. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
Thanks for reading my blog everyone.
If the manufacturer tells their wholesale distributor not to sell to home business, they better not. You need a physical store front in order to buy from certain manufacturers or wholesale distributors. If you want to be a distributor of these big name brands, be ready to be turned down. You have to be an authorized distributor/dealer to buy wholesale for certain name brands. Some manufacturers put applying distributors through a vigorous and long process to get approved. Some manufacturers like Sony or Nike will only sell to certain retail stores. Your average mom and pop retail store in the city, would have a hard time acquiring such a contract. Otherwise you would see a Nintendo Wii being sold at every corner store.
If the wholesale distributor broke their agreement with the manufacturer they would be sure to be in court, as well as lose their big money account with a huge manufacturer. If the manufacturer was a huge contract like Sony or Nike, you can be sure that wholesale distributor wouldn’t be able stay in business for very long. That would be too big of a loss. Most companies wouldn’t be able to afford staying in business if they lost a contract like that.
The fact is; Don’t take it to offense, but companies like Sony and Nike don’t want to take the chance of a home business ruining their reputation with certain products. The risks are much higher dealing with small businesses compared to companies that are well established businesses. Not only that, but if these manufacturers decided to let the wholesale distributors ever sell to home businesses, this is what would happen:
The home businesses with little overhead would be able to charge lower prices than retail stores. Retail stores have huge contracts with companies like Sony and Nike. But retail stores have to pay overhead bills, insurance, and pay many employees among just a few things. The retail store would have to sell at MSRP to make profit. Even though the manufacturer wants everyone to sell at MSRP, doesn’t mean everyone will listen. Then lower prices than MSRP will pop out all over uncontrolled. Retail stores would take a huge loss. In the long run it would hurt the manufacturer.
But if the manufacturer sets a strict licensing agreement up with just the wholesale distributors, they can control who gets the product at wholesale prices. They could even track down the wholesale distributor breaking the rules, if they decided to break them. If small home businesses got to buy product at wholesale prices, the manufacturers wouldn’t be able to track down the bad ones selling at under MSRP. That’s what it is all about, a control game.
This also cuts down on counterfeiting rings. It will be easier to spot the people selling fake goods at lower prices if they know all their wholesale distributors. If Sony or Nike find someone selling way below MSRP, they will do an investigation. If that business is found not to be an authorized distributor, they would go after that company. Counterfeiting has become a huge problem around the world.
There are all kinds of other reasons big name manufacturers tell their wholesale distributors not to sell to anyone at wholesale prices. Most if it is just to cover their asses over licensing agreements.
I am not saying Sony won’t let any of their distributors sell wholesale. But certain products they make like Playstation, are under strict licensing agreements. Don’t expect to buy them at wholesale prices if you have a home business. You may be able to find shoes or clothing to buy wholesale as well.
But don’t expect to buy big name brand clothing or video games at wholesale prices. It’s impossible to buy these at wholesale prices if you are a home business. Anyone claiming to sell these items at wholesale, is either lying or selling counterfeit merchandise. Or they may be a crazy company that doesn’t care about their strict licensing agreement between the manufacturer and the distributor. If that is the case, they will soon be caught.
Times may change, but right now when a new shoe or product come out that is in high demand; there is usually not enough man power to create the product fast enough. Then the manufacturers try and control everything as much as they can to squeeze the most profit out of it.
When the product slows down in demand you will notice the products licensing agreements may change and it will be available to everyone at wholesale prices. But new products that are the big money makers for manufacturers will rarely be available to buy at wholesale unless you are an authorized distributor or dealer. And that day may never come with certain products.
There are lots of other products that are covered by strict licensing agreements like this. Everything from licensed professional sport clothing to DVD’s are under strict licensing agreements. Most of the time you will find the ones protected by strict licensing agreements are the ones that are most counterfeited.
Anyone claiming to have wholesale prices available for such goods are probably selling at discounted prices, not wholesale. There could be lots of reasons, but if they are an authorized dealer they will get in trouble. It could also be a scam.
If anyone has any questions about what items or products are under licensing agreements, just ask me. I can help.
Some wholesalers and manufacturers drop ship, but they don’t advertise it. Just ask your current wholesaler if they drop ship. Most companies will drop ship if you have been a loyal customer. In the past, it didn’t matter if you were making a million dollars a month; no major name brand company would drop ship single items.
If you don’t have a current wholesale distributor, find one and ask if they drop ship for home business also. Drop shipping has become so big in the past year or so, that most wholesale distributors will be drop shipping by the end of this year. If they don’t drop ship, they will lose business to the competition. Ebay and other online marketplaces have users drop shipping.
Most online marketplaces have strict rules about not drop shipping. You are not supposed to list an item for sale if it is not in your possession. But today’s drop ship companies have become very good at what they do. They actually care about your customers. So they will do whatever they can to get your items out to your customers as soon as possible. They will also put your company name and address on the return label. Your customers will never know the item was drop shipped.
If you have trouble looking for a wholesaler that will work with your home business do some research. Sometimes it is tough to find a wholesaler if you don’t know what to look for. Here is a post I made about how to find real wholesale/drop shippers. You can read it here. That should help you find a drop shipper.
It can be very time consuming to find the right wholesalers to work with. Sometimes it will take you days or weeks to find the right wholesaler. If you wanted to save some research time, you could get a source company to find real wholesalers that will drop ship for you. Source companies have teams of people that constantly do research to find the wholesalers that will work with small business. World Wide Brands are a great wholesaler/drop ship source. I recommend World Wide Brands to any home business looking for real wholesale/drop shippers. They are the only drop ship/wholesaler information source that is recommended by ebay.
Wholesaler source companies can be expensive. Most sourcing companies will charge one hundred to three hundred dollars per lifetime membership. But the benefits of having a source company finding wholesalers for you will save you lots of time to dedicate in to other parts of your business.
Wholesaler source companies have been popping up everywhere in the past couple of years. It is a sign that more and more big wholesale distributors are starting to drop ship. This post should help most of you find the right wholesaler/drop shipper for you. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
Thanks for reading my blog everyone. See you tomorrow.
People always ask me for a good clothing wholesale distributor. Today I will tell you about a clothing manufacturer I have been using for years.

So you don’t need to find a wholesale distributor if you want to sell Elegant Moments. You cut out the middleman when you buy Elegant Moments lingerie. Elegant Moments will even drop ship your orders.
It’s very rare to find a manufacturer that will work with a home business. When you buy straight from the manufacturer, you cut out the wholesale distributor.

Elegant Moments has everything from sexy lingerie to spice things up, to adult toys and games that couples can play. Elegant Moments is not made like other cheap and sleazy lingerie. Their products are made for quality as well as comfort. Elegant Moments is very sexy without being sleazy, unlike a lot of other lingerie manufacturers.

Hi everyone, I wish you a great week to come. Drop shipping on ebay can be very tough now-a-days. It can also be very rewarding if you do it right. There was a time when drop shipping and ebay were much more profitable. Now everyone and their mother is trying to drop ship on ebay. It’s not an easy task anymore, considering everyone else is drop shipping the same items you are. What’s worse is; you have people like me, who buy in bulk to resell. I get my goods much cheaper because I buy in bulk and offer much lower prices on ebay than you can offer.
First you have to find some products to sell. You can get some instruction on how to find some real wholesale/drop shippers on a post I made here. Finding the best products for you is the most important part. Don’t worry about what someone else is making money on. Try and find some products that sell well, without a lot of competition. Find some categories that have little or no competition.
In order to drop ship on ebay you have be creative. So, if there is competition(and I am sure there will be); you have to offer things your competition isn’t offering. You have to do things differently than your competition isn’t doing. I have said this tons of times, I know, but it’s important. How else are you going to beat your competitions prices unless you get creative to give the customer more?
I have a great tip to offer you with drop shipping. Bundle/Combo deals.
Here are some numbers.
Let’s say someone is buying bulk in wholesale. They buy 100 units for $50.00 each. The units retail for $95.00. They make $45.00 dollars profit on each unit.
You can get 1 unit for $70.00 if you have it drop shipped. You obviously can’t beat the competition getting it at $50.00 each unit and you would lose customers. Plus, you will only make $25.00.
But, if you get 3 accessories that go with the unit. Each accessory costs you $20.00 each and usually sell for $45.00 in stores. You will make $75. 00 profit on just the accessories if you sell them for what they usually sell for.
Now you add the accessories into a package deal with the main unit. Now you have a package deal worth $230.00(the unit $95.00/ accessories $135.00). Now you stand to make $100.00 profit and you are offering something your competition isn’t, a combo deal.
So, if your competition is selling their unit for $85.00 , it won’t matter. They are not offering any accessories. Customers want everything in one place.
You stand to make $100.00 combined profit between the unit and accessories. While the competition is only making $45.00 profit. So you could actually lower your price $50.00 more and make your offer even more attractive to buyers. You will still make $50.00 profit.
The customer will get everything in a combo deal cheaper than they could get anywhere else. Because you made up your own custom unit and accessories bundle that nobody else was offering. This is why it is good to know what you are selling.
Know what you sell. Know what accessories go with each main unit. Know what kind of batteries it takes. Know every little detail about what you sell. Keep on top of everything new that comes out for it. Everyday new technology comes out that goes hand and hand with a main unit we already own.
Think about how many accessories you can use with an Ipod or cell phone. There are thousands of different combo deals you could make. Combo deals that no other seller is offering. That will make your auctions more attractive to someone who wants everything at once.
FYI; It is forbidden on ebay to put items up for auction that are not in your possession.Ebay frowns upon drop shipping and they do not allow it. Unless you use an ebay recommended company like worldwide brands. World wide brands is the only source company that ebay recommends for drop shipping. Thousands of people drop ship on ebay and have done so for years. It’s something I never really got. They don’t allow it, but they let us do it.
Just be careful and be smart about the drop shippers you choose to work with. There are some terrible drop shippers who don’t care about your ebay reputation. Drop shipping on ebay can get pretty risky if you don’t know what you are doing. I have seen some great ebayers reputations ruined from bad drop ship companies.
Ebay and drop shipping can be a great experience. Just be careful who you choose to do business with. Be careful about the products you sell. Get creative and make some profit. Try offering something your competition doesn’t offer. Make up some bundle and combo deals so you offer something original that everyone wants.
I hope this helps you all out with drop shipping. Email me if you have any questions. See you all tomorrow.
