Internet Secrets

In recent years with evolution of the internet online shopping has become more and more popular. Just doing a quick search on the internet we can see many major retailers offering facilities for purchasing goods online. Shopping online makes our lives easier and saves us a bit of money as usually online prices are slightly cheaper than the ones in the retail stores. But the main questions we need to look at are: are we buying from correct places and are there any way we can save more money without compromising on quality of the product.

Most of us who frequently shop online buy goods from large retailers like major department stores from their online stores or from auctions websites like eBay etc. Well let’s look at the department stores first they generally keep their margins at a certain level as they need to make profit to cover their expenses. If you compare prices in department stores to prices on the same items on eBay or some small websites you will notice that prices for the same items are generally much cheaper on eBay and from smaller online retailers. But in saying that people who selling online still making good margins on products and quite often they make better margins then larger outlets as their overheads are much smaller and they source product for the same price.

Well now why can we an average person buy something at a wholesale price and save ourselves somewhere between 10% and 200% of the retail price. Yes 200% is correct some items especially things like accessories, clothing, cables, etc get margined up by 200% or in some cases even more. I will give one example cat6 network cable I used to pay $17 dollars for a 2 meter cable then I opened up a corporate account with that store and suddenly they were offering me the same cable for $6 and then I found a cable distributer online and now I am paying $2 for cable and the thing is the price was not in any way affected by the quantity as I usually buy 1 or 2 cables.

You probably thinking right now that it would be really nice to get hold of the products at this prices but how do i find this wholesalers and how do I know which once are real and which are scam. Well there are two ways you can go about it.

First you can spend countless hours searching the internet and researching each wholesaler separately to make sure they are the real deal or you can just sign up to the largest wholesale directory and get instant access to over 7000 wholesalers in every imaginable category. I have been a member of that directory for many years now and for the small one time joining fee I have a lifetime access to the biggest wholesale database which saves me tens of thousands of dollars every year just buy buying everyday items like socks t-shirts etc directly from wholesalers.

Bellow I made a few screenshots on products and prices you can get from wholesalers just so you can see and compare the prices for yourself and realise how much money you can save just buy buying directly from wholesalers online.

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 :

http://internetsecrets.blogtown.co.nz/2009/05/07/most-asked-questions-about-wholesale/

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.

How I made $702 in one weekend from nothing.

Here I will describe a simple method I used to make $702 in one weekend starting from nothing, meaning I have not used any of my existing sources of income nor my existing list to advertize to.

This is a simple method and anyone can do it, it takes about 2 – 3 hours to set up. All payments are paid directly to your PayPal account so the money are available to straight away not like with affiliate programs where you have to wait for commissions to be approved and then you have to wait for the cheque to arrive.

Well no more delay here is my simple method.
Prerequisites. You need to have a PayPal account. If you do not have one you can get it here its free. You also will need a hosting free or paid does not matter. There are plenty of them available so just google free web hosting. Also you will need an email account. I would recommend creating a separate one you can get a free one at gmail.com, yahoo.com or hotmail.com. Ok now you should be ready to start.

Step One
Fist you have to have a product or service to sell and not as an affiliate, you need to have your own product or service. Now you probably thinking how can I create a product or service in such a short time frame well the good news is you do not have to. Go to $6 magic website and get it. Once you downloaded it, it will have all the instructions on how to configure it with you PayPal account and upload to your hosting account.

Step Two
Now that you have configured it with your PayPal pal account and uploaded to your hosting account its time to promote it and make some money. This step should take about an hour. The website comes with highly attractive prewritten ads for you. All you have to do is add the link of your website to those ads. Now go to google and search for the following “free classified ads”. Now start placing the ads I would recommend for better success to place ads on at least first 20 websites which will show up in google results. Placing the ads is easy just copy and paste the prewritten ads and post them on websites. You can post multiple ads in multiple categories for better visibility.

Step Three.
This is the easy and fun step. Just sit down relax have a coffee or something to eat and watch the emails from PayPal coming in with the following subject: Item #XXXXX – Notification of Payment Received.After following the same procedure I have had the first sale in about 15 minutes after placing the first ad and following that I had total of 117 sales in 48 hour period.

Good Luck to anyone who will use this guide and have a great success.

Creativity.

This is one virtue a site must possess to lead the race in the ruthless competition in the Internet based business. With so many competition and rivalry going on, every method of marketing must be employed and utilized.

It doesn’t matter if you have a killer product or a fantastically designed website, if people don’t know that you exist, it doesn’t matter, and you are not going to make it big. Worse of all, you business could just get killed.

While there are so many methods and schemes used by so many e-commerce sites today, there are still some of those that can help you with an extra boost in the popularity ratings. One of these is the so called Viral Marketing.

While the term Viral easily depicts a virus, a word very much dreaded by all computer owners, it is not what it seems. You do not actually use a computer virus to spread your business; on the contrary it just might kill you. Everyone has had enough of all those pop up ads and spywares.

Viral Marketing Overview

Viral Marketing also known otherwise as Viral Advertising is a marketing technique used to build the public awareness of one’s product or company. They use many forms of media to reach out to the public without actually promoting the product by riding on in other forms of addictive means that could get a person hooked and be obliged or amused to actually pass it on, with the product or company advertisement along with it.

In a nutshell, companies ride on the idea that if people like the content of a media they will pass it on to their friends and family. They sponsor the certain media, such as a cool flash game, funny video, amusing story and such, which one may pass on to another with the company brand or logo or the products description or any other content to help promote the company or its product.

Viral marketing has become a popular means of advertising and marketing because they are relatively low cost. To avoid being tagged as spam mail, viral marketing counts on the eagerness of one person to pas on the product. If a person sees the name of the person they know as the sender, they won’t block it and open it as well.

Many companies offer incentives such as discounts and rebates when they help in spreading their viral marketing. They rely on the number of recipients a viral marketing gets from one person in determining the amount or number of incentive they can be attributed with.

Using Viral Marketing to your advantage

The main and foremost advantage of viral marketing is that you get a lot of publicity and public awareness about your site and your company. You get to generate a flow of traffic that are potential customers. With a little ingenuity and imagination, plus some incentives or prizes, you can reach out to a great number of people and announce your existence.

Most every site and companies are catching on to the effectivity of Viral Marketing and Advertising. Not using it could kill your business. Along with other schemes and methods in promoting your site, like Search Engine Optimization and such, viral marketing could easily push you ahead in the rating games.

Viral Marketing could be a sneaky way to get people to know about you and your company. You get them to pass your advertisement along. They are also very low cost that not investing in it could be downright a business suicide. All it takes is a great idea, a good addicting game, a funny story many ideas are still out there. Create a gossip or a buzz, many movies are promoted by using scandals and gossips to make them moiré popular. Remember the movie “The Blair Witch Project”?

Many big companies have tried viral marketing and have had many success stories with it. A classic example is Microsoft’s Hotmail. They were the first known big company to utilize the scheme and it has worked wonders for them.

Now it’s your turn to use viral marketing to work wonders for you. Act now and reap the benefits Viral Marketing will provide for you and your sales figures.

Over the past years, web hosting has grown bigger than it used to be. With more companies getting into this business and finding the many benefits it can give them, the demand for web hosting has never been higher. These seem to be the trend of today.

38 million people have put up their very first websites online this year 2009 alone. It is estimated that by 2011, the internet sales industry will top then dollar bank. And to think, majority of those sites will be offering different affiliate programs for people to choose and participate into.

This only means one thing. It is easier now to find the right web host for your application. The possibility of quality web hosting companies separating themselves from the rest of the industry is anticipated. If this is done, the unprofessional and incompetent ones will suffer.

Support will be the number one consideration for people when choosing a web host. It will be obvious that traditional advertising will become less and less effective. Most people would rather opt for the web host based on things that they see and hear. Also based on the recommendations by those who have tried them and have proved to be a successful.

This is a great opportunity for web hosting affiliates and resellers alike. There would hundreds of web hosting and programs to choose from that the difficulty in finding the right one for them is not a problem anymore.

How does one become a successful affiliate in the niche markets using web hosting?

If you think about it, everyone who needs a website needs a web hosting company to host it for them. As of now, there is really no leading hosting industry so most people choose hosts based from recommendations. Usually, they get it from the ones that have already availed of a web hosting services.

With the many hosts offering affiliate programs, there is the tendency to find the one which you think will work best for you. Think of the product you will be promoting. Pattern them to the site and see if they are catering to the same things as you are.

When you have been with one host for quite some time and seem not to be making much despite all your effort, leave that one and look for another. There is no use in trying to stick to one when you would be before off in another one. Things will only have to get better from there because you already have been in worst situations.

Try this out. If you are quite happy and satisfied with your web host, try to see if they are offering an affiliate program you can participate on. Instead of you paying them, why not make it the other way around; them paying you. The process can be as easy as putting a small “powered by” or “hosted by” link at the bottom of your page and you are already in an affiliate business.

Why choose paying for your for your web hosting when you do not have to? Try to get paid by letting people know you like your web host.

Always remember that when choosing a web host, choose the one that is known for its fantastic customer support. There are also many hosting affiliate programs. Residual affiliate program is also being hosted. This is the program wherein you get paid a percentage every month for a client that you refer. This can allow you to have a steady source of income. With perseverance, you can even be quite successful in this field.

There are a lot of niche markets out there just waiting for the right affiliate to penetrate to them and make that dollars dream come true. Knowing which one to get into is being confident enough of your potentials and the good results you will be getting.

Web hosting is just one affiliate market you could try out and make some good and continuous income. Just remember that to be successful on your endeavor also means that time, effort and patience is needed.

Nobody has invented the perfect affiliate market yet. But some people do know how to make it big in this kind of market. It is just knowing your kind of market and making the earnings there.

All too often people want to buy pallets of merchandise
so they can resell for profit. That’s great, there’s nothing
wrong with that but the problem is, without knowing what
they’re doing, many people will rush out to an auction,
find a dealer or even go on eBay to buy a pallet of several
pallets of merchandise. The problem is they have no clue
what they’re doing and end up losing money because they’ve
made at least one of these 5 most common mistakes that will
cost you money if you make them!

1. Not understanding who you’re dealing with.

With the internet today, it is very easy to register a
domain name, put up a website give yourself a company
name and set up shop. Unfortunately there is a lot of this
that goes on in the surplus and liquidation world.

There are too many stories of people handing over their hard
earned money to “companies” who were supposed to deliver the
goods just to wake up one morning and the “company” or
“dealer” no longer exists… and neither does your money!

Your left with nothing and the con-artist sets up another
“office” and does it all again.

There is horror story after horror story of these
situations. I’ve heard to especially beware of companies on
the east coast. There are legitimate ones, but make sure
you know who you’re dealing with.

At least call them and talk to them. How long have they been
buying bulk? How long have they been in business? What kind
of vibes do you get when you’re talking to them?

Ask questions.

2. Not understanding what you’re buying.

I can’t tell you how many times people have ask me something
to this effect…

Hey Chad there’s a guy selling a pallet of stuff do you
think I should buy it?

Huh?…

To start with, if that’s all the information you give me
about buying a “pallet of stuff” and ask me if you should
buy it, well let me ask you this,

Would you buy a car without starting it? Would you buy a
part for your PC without having a clue what it was? Would
you give your hard earned money over to someone for no
reason and not get anything for it?

You would at least research enough to find out what it was
you were purchasing or know why you were giving money!

I don’t understand why it is that just because there’s a
bulk pallet of “stuff” (i.e.- most of the time junk) that
makes a candidate for a good purchase.

Second of all, I don’t mean to be harsh, if that’s the
only common sense you have about buying products, then this
is my answer… NO – NO – NO – in fact you may want to find
another business because if you don’t and this is your
search criteria, you’re going to get burnt! AND BAD!

What are you going to do when all of that “pallet of stuff”
is sitting in your garage that you just found out is
broken, defective and nobody wants. You paid $500 for junk
sitting in your garage just to take up space! I guess it’s
OK if you don’t mind losing $500 but I do!

When I ask the follow up questions, usually the answer I
get back is “well it’s a pallet of blue widgets at $500″.

And I’m going AND…

But that is all the information I’m given!

I’m not going to tell someone what to do but if that’s all
the information you know about what you’re buying, then let
me put it this way, if it’s all I knew about it, then

HELL NO! I DON’T BUY IT!!!!!

Be wise and know the key questions to ask. It takes more
than just knowing what’s on the pallet and how much the
pallet is, though it’s a start, that’s just the beginning.
There are key elements that you MUST learn to help you make
a calculated decision on whether or not if you should buy
that pallet or load of pallets.

I’ll teach you these in my book:

get my ebook here

3. Not understanding your costs associated with the product.

This is more than just knowing how much the pallet is
selling for. Does the product involve putting your time in
it? Are you going to have to make costly repairs or spend
time taking the product somewhere for the repair? Is it
going to take a long time to package and ship? Are you
going to have to invest in expensive packaging materials to
ship it? This all eats into your costs.

4. Not knowing the market value of the product.

All to often, people want to sell the “hot items”
especially on eBay. Or they want to sell the items that
are “their” favorite things but yet nobody else wants to
buy it.

In other words, there’s no market for it. So what if you’re
still into Cabbage Patch Kids. It doesn’t matter if you’ve
got an entire warehouse full of them if noone wants to buy
them! Why invest money in trying to get them if nobody
wants them.

You must know the market value of your product. Is it going
to be profitable for you to even sell it?

5. Not having a plan to move your products after you have
purchased them.

The usual train of thought is this. I’ll find a pallet of
stuff and start off selling it on eBay. Then as I grow,
I’ll get more and keep selling.

OK, fine, sounds good right? What do you do if your eBay
account gets suspended? What do you do if eBay crashes?
Make sure you use alternative outlets of sale with your
products.

Develop relationships with people, develop a web store,
whatever you can do to develop a customer base of people
who buy from you on a repetitive basis is the key.

Final Thoughts
Don’t get sucked up in the hype of instant riches by buying
a pallet and reselling. Don’t let some overnight “slickster”
tell you their products are the only way to make money!

(I let the cat out of the bag about where the products come
from in THE “ULTIMATE” INSIDERS SURPLUS, LIQUIDATION &
WHOLESALE BUYING TO RESELL FOR MEGA PROFITS GUIDE).

Yes, you can make money if you do it right. But often, with
many types of products, the cost of the pallet is more than
it’s worth so you won’t even make your money back. Of
course, it will look like the wholesale value of the product is
$3,000.00 for the pallet, and your paying say
$500 so you think you’re going to quadruple your money, but
do your homework and understand exactly what it is you’re
buying before you buy!

Is there a manifest so you can see what’s on the pallet?
Do all the pieces work? If it’s clothing, do you know that
on the top of the gaylord you could have name brand clothing
and you think you’re getting a killer deal but once you get
it you find foreign knock offs on the bottom that are
soiled, stained and ripped! You wouldn’t even wear them!

It happens more than you would imagine. Be careful of who
you’re dealing with, know the types of products you’re
getting, know your costs, the market value of the products
and have a plan.

This is a good place to begin to help protect you and to
help you profit.

Plus it’s essential that you understand if you’re going
to be buying pallets or loads of bulk pallet merchandise,

product categories.

Wholesale products examples
Due to a high number of emails asking me to provide more examples on salehoo wholesale suppliers and products I have decide to publish this post. In this post I will basically provide examples of products and pricing from salehoo suppliers and examples of the same product sold on ebay. There are two main reasons why I am comparing prices to ebay first is that ebay is global website with a very high competition so the prices on ebay are generally slightly lower than on the local websites such as trademe etc. And the second reason is so I do not have to do currency conversions between USD and local currencies. All the examples bellow have prices in USD.
 

Example 1 Nokia N98
Ebay

Salehoo

Example 2 Clothing 
With this example I have a screenshot of a small subset of different clothing items from one of the supplier with prices. This prices are about 200% -300% cheaper than comparable items in stores or online from general retailers

Example 3 Electronics
Here are some screenshots of electronics products and prices you can get via Salehoo wholesale list.

The above is just a small subset of products you can get via salehoo wholesalers. Generally with this wholesalers you can get products anywhere from about 300%  to 20%  cheaper then retail prices. Also as a salehoo member you will receive special deals from wholesalers which are only available through salehoo. Salehoo membership costs about $60 that gives you lifetime access to all the suppliers (verified by salehoo admins) also it gives you the access to support forums and to research lab which is one of the most powerful tools available on the internet for product research. Another cool thing is many salehoo suppliers allow drop shipping which means they will deliver product directly to your customer so you don’t have to hold the stocks. There are more on drop shipping in my earlier posts in this blog.

Salehoo website here
If you need an example of a particular product and the price you can get it for let me know and I will check it out for you.
