DROP SHIPPING DONE THE SMARTEST WAY

Drop shipping is another way to make money online. In case you don't know what drop shipping is, let me explain. In simple words you sell someone's product at whatever price you want and you don't worry about shipping the product or even having the product on hand. Let's say "Warehouse A" sells electronics, xbox 360 to be exact. They sell the xbox at a discount price of $100 and its really worth $180 and you promote the xbox online and sell it for $160 now you made a profit of $60. So once you receive payment from the customer what you do is order the xbox from Warehouse A for $100 and you keep the additional $60. When you place the order you use the customer's information so they can ship it directly to the customer. That's it!

I know sounds to simple right? Well that part could be simple what's the hard part is finding someone you can work with (A Drop Shipping Company). In my opinion the easiest and safest way to approach this method of making money online is dealing with companies personally not online. For example, I am from L.A and here there are tons of warehouses that sell numerous things from furniture, clothes, electronics you name it you'll find a warehouse here that distributes. Well a lot of these companies are willing to drop ship there products for you but a lot of suppliers here in L.A ask for a Tax Id as a requirement to submit payment to you for accounting purposes. Now each state might be different so thats something you might want to look at. Having a Tax ID actually isn't a bad thing because you can go to trade shows and meet hundreds of suppliers which you can do business with which everything you get at a discount. There is still to much to know about drop shipping. I figured I tried to cover the basics in a nut shell.

If you have any questions feel free to ask...

Making A Few Bucks With EBAY


Many people would want to make a few bucks extra everyday if they could. I know because I am one of those people. Ebay is a good place to start. In my opinion Ebay is the easiest place where you can make money online the fastest with little experience. All you really need is a product so that you can sell it and make a profit. Ebay is where I made my first dollar ever online. Now, I am not stating I am making millions online what I am saying is that I know where to start to make a few bucks. I call ebay the "World Wide Yard Sale" because you find just about everything.

The most common things that sell on Ebay are Electronics and rare pieces. If you're good at a skill then you can maybe make something or build something and sell it on ebay and make a profit. You can make money off things you currently own and no longer need. Just as you do when you have yard sales. How much you make on Ebay depends on what you're selling or how much you're selling. Its known that some people make a living on Ebay and some just make extra money.

Why 90% Fail Making Money Online

Most people don't make money or even make enough to really stick around on the online biz. We have the obvious candidates (those that come in with hopes of becoming millionaires over night) and you have the curious ones. Are they really different from one another? No, not really because both come in without understanding the basics of making money. Every person making money online knows that it takes TIME and COMMITMENT.

People, (90%) are just not discipline enough for the work and time they have to invest. When they finally realize that making money online takes time and commitment, they often get scared away and give up. Have you been in that situation before? I know I have!!! The only thing that kept me from giving up the online biz was OPPORTUNITY.

I always saw the opportunities that the Internet offered. Till this day I still see the opportunities and benefit from them. When there is opportunity there is REWARDS... we all love rewards, I mean who doesn't right? Do you honestly believe that everyone that gets started starts to make thousands or hundreds right from the get-go? I don't think so! You need to understand that nothing in this world is FREE. I mean, you might have physical access to something for free but you still have to pay one way or another, that means even if its time. It doesn't just have to be money to pay for something.

"Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you're right" Henry Ford (1863-1947). This is one of my favorite quotes by Mr. Ford the founder of Ford Motor Company. His quote speaks for it's self and it is absolutely true. If you believe you can make money you will. If you believe you can't make money then you wont. Get the picture? Believing you can do a thing or not, takes action. Many find this part hard because they are afraid of taking action or they are afraid of failure.

Ok, now the first question that pops out all the time is, "then how do I really get started to make money online"? I always give the same answer... "Do you know where or how to even start"? Normally everyone will say "No" or you will have the smart ones and say. "well that's why I am asking you" Ladies and Gentlemen you need to understand that you cannot expect for someone to hold your hand and make life easier for you. You can definitely learn from someone but you need to take action for yourself.

Well my friends that's all I have for you right now. Stay posted as I will write about getting started making money online from scratch. Feel free to leave any comments, questions, heck if you even disagree or would like to add more feel free. The purpose here is for all of us to learn from one another.

Good Luck,
Santiago
