Work At Home, Part Time

by Bruce Chambers

Many small business empires have started on a part time basis. Drop shipping is a perfect less risky route working part time from home. Working part time there is no need to set up a fancy outside facility. Your basement, spare room will do just as well. All you need to sell on the Internet is a computer connected to the Internet. Further there are some good tax breaks working from home, your computer, Internet connection, part light, heat and any other expense you have running the business. There are many places that will supply you with a free course in drop shipping. They will give you ideas on where to find products to sell, and teach you what drop shipping is so you don't have to stock your house with boxes of inventory. Don't be fooled by the junk drop ship lists that sell for $25 to $50+ and call themselves drop shippers. Most of these lists are worthless. They are resellers, charge you high retail prices, or you are required to pay a set up fee. The good true drop shipper will not ask you for a fee. They will allow you to copy pictures of the products they sell. Prices are about half you would pay for retail. You can then set your price. They will not include any of their material and ship under your label. In writing articles I am not allow to give you the URL's for drop ship sites. You can go to my site, click on archives and you will find my newsletters with different drop ship URL's. You can also go to Google and type in drop ship sites. Before dealing with any you can order a article under $20-and check them out for shipping and how they handle your order. You should also check out some of the wholesale outfits in China. Low prices and some will allow you to buy 3-50 items. There are a few places in the USA that allow you to buy smaller amounts of items however, prices are a bit higher. Before starting any business you should check out the rules and regulations that may affect what and how you're selling. Since 1979 the FTC has required business opportunity sellers to provide full disclosure to purchasers. The FTC can bring civil actions against anyone that violate the rule or mislead people with deceptive practices. A lot of instances business opportunity packages are prices at $495- on the theory the price is below the $500- rule. The FTC can bring action against fraudulent operators not only under the FTC Franchise Rule but also under law regarding mis-representation and deceptive practices. FTC rules To make sure you are following the regulations for advertisements, and other rules and regulations check out the following at FTP. * The Applicability of FTC Law to Internet Advertising. * Clear and Conspicuous Disclosures in Online Advertisements. * Specific Issues in Applying Certain Rules and Guides to Internet Activities. http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/dotcom/index.html WEB PAGE Translation This feature is particularly helpful if your search has non-English results. Google offers a facility to auto-martially translate a page for you in English. Currently, Google supports Italian, French, Spanish, German, and Portuguese languages. On the Internet trust is one of your top selling points. More time should be spent building trust then any thing else on the Internet. The next is identifying your prospects' needs, concerns and objections. In writing articles, e-mails write for ease of reading, not to please your 5th grade grammar teacher. You don't want the reader to stop in his/her tracks because you've used a correct, but awkward phrase. Even if your audience is composed of Ph.D.s, you should still try to adhere to the KISS principle at all time. If you use $50-words you'll lose some readers. Alienate others and call more attention to your word choice than to the message you're trying to send. Don't get carried away by MLM's that will offer you free websites and mis-representation and deceptive practices. The free websites are useless. It's almost impossible to get a listing on the search engines with them. Further you will be competing with 100's of web sites selling the same products and if someone is interested in the product you are advertising all they have to do (and they do) just cut off your code from your ad and deal direct with the firm. They just save the commission you should earned. Thousands of persons are making a good living by selling in EBay. You can get tons of free information, tips by contacting them.
