The Art of the Online Direct Sales Business

If you've ever dreamed of making money online selling wholesale products for a profit as an eBay or other type reseller, you should know that there is a right way and a wrong way to approach this. If you don't know how to tell the real wholesalers from the fake "drop-shipper suppliers" you could be throwing away your profits. In order to succeed as an eBay reseller, you need know what you are doing, and you need to know it from the very start.

Anyone can search the web and find a product supplier. But there is more to making a deal with a supplier than just knowing their website address. You need to know how to deal with the suppliers you find in order to get what you want — the best prices, order quantities, drop shipping arrangements etcetera. Most real wholesalers will provide drop-shipping at no extra charge, while most fake online "drop-shippers" will charge you an extra fee for the service on top of their already high prices.

If you're buying wholesale products and selling them online, you have a lot of the same headaches that offline sellers have to deal with and then some. In order to make your job easier and more profitable, you really need to be able to have done your homework in advance so that you don't get caught in the middle. Sometimes the only way to make money selling something on the Internet is to buy the products you sell at prices below wholesale. This is because products sold on the Internet are often sold well below retail prices, and sometimes as low as wholesale.

It doesn't matter if you sell a million dollars worth of products. What matters is how much of that money you keep — the profit. This is why it's so important to buy your products at the lowest prices possible:  below wholesale. The less you pay for your products the more money you get to keep when you actually sell the products.

Knowing how and where to find a reputable wholesaler for anything you want is only part of what you need to know when competing with other direct sales marketers online. Having a profitable game plan — a good business model — is equally important if you truly want to succeed in this lucrative business. There are plenty of people making thousands of dollars each month selling on eBay. With the right plan and marketing information, you too can be one of them.
