Have you ever noticed how there are always big sales right before the holiday season with some shops offering up to 80% discounts? Well you probably have and you also probably quite happy to take advantage of those discounts and buy something for let’s say $200 which on any other day would cost you $1000 and after making that purchase you probably will be quite happy thinking that you saved yourself $800. Well let me tell you something I used to work in retail a while ago and I was shocked at the margins on some products and also retail shops never sell anything at a loss they always make money on each sale. Getting back to the margins let’s look at a simple t-shirt example let’s say on average half decent t-shirt will cost about $50 in a shop during the holiday sales the shop will probably offer it at 50% discount so people would look at it and see a good saving of $25 and be quite happy with this savings well now the shocking truth that the shop probably paid about $2.50 for that t-shit and still even after a %50 discount the shop will still make allot of money. Did you know that you could actually buy directly from the same supplier and it will cost you about $5 per t-shit plus few bucks for deliver so now you can actually not only save more on a product but you will save on petrol as well as you do not have to drive to the shop. Also when you buy direct from suppliers you do not have to wait for specials or holidays or anything else you get the same low price every day of the year.  Here are some examples of products and prices I posted earlier :

Now you probably thinking well that’s all good but how do I find those suppliers and how do I contact them? Well there is quite a simple answer to this question there is this website, which offers you an access to over 6000 verified suppliers and wholesalers the admins of the website constantly review and verify all the suppliers they also offer you a support forums and are happy to help you find any product you need. I have joined the website about three years ago and since virtually have not bought anything from the local shops except for groceries and in some cases when I just could not wait for the shipping otherwise all my purchases were made online from the wholesale suppliers. Looking back I probably saved myself over 50000 over the past three years by buying online as everything I have including tvs and all electronics were purchased online.

People often ask is it possible to make money online for free. And the answer is YES it is. Here I will describe a simple method anyone can use to make some extra cash online using without your own product by using ebooks with master resell rights. But before I start I have to say your income will depend on how much work you will put in and even thou the free methods do work they are not as effective as some paid methods but again the more hard work you put into it the better result you will get out. So I will describe two methods here first one will be totally free and the second one will require some investment but if use the first method and make some money out of it they you can reinvest them into the second one and make even more. Well here are the methods.

First
Complexity: easy
Time to implement: low (around 2-3 hours)
Income possibility: low – medium

This is a very simple method which does not require much time to set up but if done right it will be paying you for many years to come. First of you need to download some ebooks with master resell rights you can find a good collection of ebooks here http://www.wizit.co.nz/cms/FreeStuff.aspx most of them come with master resell rights and most of them also have a pre-build website for you but we will use the website in the next section. Once you downloaded ebooks now you ready to sell them and make some money. There are few places which I would recommend for selling ebooks first one is eBay and the second one is PayLoadz in both cases it is free to sell. With ebay you would have to renew your listing every week or so with PayLoadz you just list you product and it will be there for years. Well that’s about as simple as that. Few other pointers most ebooks will have cover graphics and sales pages included so use them or you can write your own also ebay and PayLoadz are not the only places to sell ebooks you can do a google search and find few others.

Now onto the second method

Complexity: medium
Time to implement: medium (around 24-48 hours)
Income possibility: medium – high

This method is quite similar to the one above the only difference is that instead of using other services to sell your product you will be using your own website to do it. So first you need to get some hosting I would recommend ixwebhosting as I have been with them for a number of years now and quite happy with their service you can read a review about ixwebhosting which i wrote. Once you have a webhosting account and a domain name (note: when choosing a domain name make sure you pick something easy to remember). Now all you have to do is upload a website which is included with ebooks which you have downloaded and add paypal buttons to the website and start promoting your own website and this method will generate income for as long as website is running.
