In this Niche Blueprint review article, we are going to look at modules one and two, which is week 1, of Tim Godfrey and Steve Clayton’s Niche Blueprint E-Commerce Training Course.

The first module is an introduction to the programme. Here you will find an introduction to all the modules of niche blueprint, expectations and what you should have done at the end of each module.

This module includes three PDF’s which have its goal sheet, quick start flowchart and its overview. It also has one video, which is an introduction to how it will work, how the content will be delivered and how you make money with a niche blueprint store.

The second module is about how to find and choose your niche. It shows you how to come up with ideas for your E commerce store by brainstorming and research. By the end of this module you should have your top idea and be able to begin work on your store.

This module includes 4 PDF’s for brainstorming resources, its goal sheet and market research process chart. There are also three videos in this module, which provide all the information necessary to research different markets and come up with your store ideas and their suitability for E commerce.

These modules are crystal clear and in them Steve Clayton does an excellent job of leading you, with step-by-step instructions on how to find your niche e-commerce store ideas. For the newcomer to e-commerce, this clarity will make it very easy to be successful very quickly.

What I particularly love about this module is that Steve not only explains things very clearly and simply but also includes the tools necessary to do the job. As they also include a branded copy of the keyword research tool market samurai.

As I’ve said in a previous post Market Samurai is our main keyword research tool. This tool we use every day for over 95% of our keyword and market research.

Steve Clayton in two of the videos in this module gives a very clear and precise methodology with specific search criteria to use in market Samurai for finding your target keyword niche blueprint e-commerce store ideas.

He not only tells you the criteria to use in these videos. He shows you with an on-screen demonstration of finding those niche keywords, using his own search criteria within market Samurai. You see on screen as Steve finds very profitable niche keyword ideas on the fly.

Anybody who watches these videos will, no matter what their experience very quickly be able to come up with potentially highly profitable Niche Blueprint E-Commerce Stores.

Drop Ship Your Way To Wealth

Your customer sees a marvelous array of products on your website. After thoughtful consideration, she purchases the product she wants. Amazingly, you have never actually seen the product. That is because your supplier shipped the order directly to her.

1. Problems With Stocking Inventory

After deciding what products you will sell, you are immediately faced with many challenges.

First: "To stock my products, will I need to rent store or warehouse space? I was hoping to sell by Internet, mail order, or export, but I don`t have much storage space for inventory at home."

Second: "Will the supplier even deal with me if I don`t have a retail location? I was counting on keeping my overhead down by operating from home."

Third: "I know that many manufacturers and distributors have a minimum order, sometimes in the thousands of dollars. I don`t have that kind of money!"

Fourth: "Even if I did have the money, why should I tie it up in inventory? How do I know if the product will even sell?"

Fifth: "I guess I will have to add extra insurance coverage for my inventory. Maybe I better upgrade my security system while I`m at it."

Sixth: "The shipping charges are going to kill me. First, I have to pay to get the goods here (freight-in). Then, I have to pay to ship the goods out to my customers (freight-out)."

Seventh: "If I expand and hire employees, how will I control the inventory? How will I know if my employees are stealing from me?"

Eighth: "How much time and money am I going to spend packaging and fulfilling orders?"

These problems can be reduced or eliminated by drop shipping.

2. Drop Shipping to the Rescue

Drop shipping is a method of selling products without stocking inventory yourself. You don`t need to stock inventory, because you only order an item when a customer requests it.

With drop shipping, when you make a sale you contact the manufacturer or authorized distributor and make arrangements to pay for the order at your wholesale cost. Your distributor then ships the product to the customer with your invoice and shipping label.

For example, let`s assume that you have just sold a product to a customer for $100.00 plus shipping charges of $15.00. Having received the customer`s payment, you now need to fax or otherwise send your order to your drop ship supplier. You will need to pay your supplier, by credit card or other means, your cost of $50.00 plus $15.00 shipping. This leaves you a $50.00 gross profit. Your supplier will now ship the product to your customer.

With this arrangement of not having to stock inventory yourself, there are many advantages.

You eliminate the high costs of holding inventory. There is no need for you to rent expensive storage space, finance high minimum orders, get stuck with goods that don`t sell, or pay other expenses associated with maintaining inventory.

Indirectly, you do pay inventory costs. Your drop ship supplier must maintain his inventory and pay all associated costs, including freight-in, storage space, insurance, accounting, shrinkage, and so on. To make a profit, he must pass these costs on to you.

The real advantage to this drop shipping arrangement lies in keeping your costs variable. Instead of being stuck with these expenses up front, whether you sell or not, you pay only when you make a sale.

3. Profit From Drop Shipping

Many legitimate drop ship suppliers may not require you to have a retail location, but they will want to see evidence that you are in business. They may require you to produce a resale license or retail sales tax permit.

To be sure, there are pitfalls to watch out for in drop shipping. For example, some suppliers claim to sell at wholesale prices but are actually selling closer to retail. Also, margins are very slim in some competitive areas, such as electronics. However, with proper research and information, you should be able to avoid these problems.

Whether from your home, retail store, directly from your website or through an online auction, you can arrange to sell an item before you purchase it. That way you have nothing invested in inventory and won`t get stuck with stock that won`t sell.

Rather than financing and stocking inventory yourself, consider drop shipping your way to wealth.

Drop Shipping Scams – Niche Blueprint shows you how to avoid them

January 1st, 2009 by admin | Posted in Niche E Commerce | No Comments »

 

Its Important to get proper training to start e-commerce rather than get scammed. Here is more is a Niche Blueprint Overview and here an overview of modules 1 and 2 of the Nicheblueprint course.

Drop Shipping Scams And How To Avoid Them

drop shipping should be easy, right? It follows a simple rationale – it leaves you the role of the salesman, while the wholesaler ships the products out to the customer. It should be an efficient and straightforward process. You find a product that can be sold, and then you market it through your website and leave the logistics to a third party. Your excellent selling skills are used and all you need to do is find a willing drop shipper. But that’s not necessarily going to be the easiest task. When you start looking for information on drop shippers, you’ll find plenty of websites offering supposedly comprehensive lists of drop shippers and you may feel the job will be easy. Someone in the list has to suit your needs, right? Again, not necessarily. There are plenty of scams out there and you’d better beware.

Sellers who have done extensive research on drop shipping find that the most common scams are:

Sham lists – It’s unbelievable but there are lists full of completely false information out there that businesses spend three or four digit amounts purchasing, only to find that these lists have been created on purpose to scam sellers.

Cheap, outdated lists – You will come across a number of cheap deals that seem too good to be true. Well, they are. These directories will generally contain out of date information and the creators of the list are trying to make the last few dollars on them.

Middlemen – There are a number of agents and intermediaries that pretend to be drop shippers and make a commission that you are not aware of. This will eat into your profit margin. Since you do not know that you can get this product cheaper from a genuine drop shipper, you are being scammed out of your money.

The ‘full suite’ of services – Some businesses will offer you a complete suite of drop shipping services, from stocking, to shipping and packing, but you will pay heavily for this service. They will often charge a large fixed fee that will leave no profit margin for you. Basically, the service provider will be the one making all the money that you earn.

Drop shipper’s fee – You should never be asked to pay a drop shipper for the shipping service provided. A legitimate drop shipper will be happy to sell more of his product and will charge you the appropriate amount to cover his expenses in the price of the product. This is a scam many unethical drop shippers use to make money off new business owners.

No refund policy – Some unethical drop shippers will refuse to give refunds on returned products, even after promising initially to do so. This scam is hard to see coming, unless you make sure to run a thorough check on your drop shipper.

Fake email support – You will be surprised to find how many drop shippers provide fake email addresses to businesses that depend on their services so that they cannot be contacted with problems or queries.
Links that don’t work or lead to sites that ask for money – Some lists will have links that won’t work when you click on them. Others will lead to websites that ask for money to continue to the page or information that you need. This scam often comes in combination with sham lists and out of date ones.

Creating a business that is based on drop shipping requires smart, careful and planned work on the seller’s part. Be sure that you avoid one of the above scams and make sure you find reliable directories and drop shippers.

Finding the Best Drop Shipping product – made easy with DropShipBlueprint

December 31st, 2008 by admin | Posted in Niche E Commerce | No Comments »

Read below for some good tips to finding Drop shippers of wholesale products. Here are some Niche Blueprint Reviews and Bonuses and here is more information on E commerce Training and Niches

Click link to go directly to the NicheBlueprint main site: Click here to go to Niche Blueprint

Tips To Finding The Best Drop Shipping Or Wholesale Product

In order to run a successful ebay or online store business, you need a quality product.

But the one problem with trying to find a wholesale or dropshipping product is the prevalence of scams. As a result, many people risk getting ripped off by websites that offer bogus merchandise.

So before you go out and try to find a product at a wholesale discount, you should follow a few simple rules. When you are looking at a wholesale source, you should look for:

" A large selection of items that can be easily sold
" Companies that have full contact information listed on their website
" Websites that are updated at least once a week
" A refund policy if you are not satisfied with their listings

While you are researching different wholesale sources, you should decide on how you will be handling your merchandise. Basically you have to decide if you will purchase wholesale products upfront or arrange for a dropshipping agreement. Each choice has its own set of advantages or disadvantages. Lets explore both choices&

When you purchase wholesale sources upfront, there are a few advantages. The best part is that you can have absolute control of your merchandise. You can avoid the risk of offering products that are not instock or available for shipping. In addition, with wholesale products you have a better chance of finding a wider selection of goods.

The disadvantage of purchasing wholesale sources is you have to spend money on merchandise that might not sell. So if you arent sure about a product, then its a risk to purchase goods.

With dropshipping there is a major advantage- you dont have to make any upfront purchases. This is a great solution for people that dont know what to should sell. All you have to do is offer your product. When it sells, you send an email to the drop shipping company and they will ship it for you

But as mentioned before, it is often difficult to find the perfect item to resell. So you might have a bit of difficulty discovering the an item that is in high demand and will have a dropshipping agreement.

Whichever solution you decide to pick, one of the best places to purchase is from World Wide Brands.

Created by eBay Radio host Chris Malta, WorldWide Brands is considered by many to be the best source for discovering drop shipping and wholesale sources. The researchers at this site make every effort to discover legitimate wholesale sources.

The Myths And Magic Of Ebay Drop-shipping Vendors.

If you’ve never heard of drop shipping, then prepare to be impressed – it sounds like every eBay seller’s dream. With drop shipping, you don’t have to keep any stock at all. You simply list auctions for what your drop shipper sells, without actually seeing it yourself.

Each time something sells, you let them know, and they deliver it for you – directly to the customer. They’ll charge you a near-wholesale price for the item they delivered, you charge the customer whatever price you agreed, and then you pocket the difference as profit.

The Magic.

Just think of the sheer amount of trouble this takes out of eBay selling. You don’t have to find space in your house to keep your stock in, or money to buy it with. You don’t have to take any risk by buying things that might not sell. You don’t have to deal with suppliers. You don’t even have to pack or post the auctions yourself. Wow! Can you imagine how good this would be if you could pull it off?

But, as with all things in life, if it sounds too good to be true…

The Myths.

Drop-shippers don’t do deals with just anyone – any drop shipper who says they’ll take orders from unregistered businesses is likely to be a scammer. They might not send out anything at all to your customers, or you might send out very poor quality merchandise that they will then return to you for a refund.

Also, beware of companies that claim they will put you in contact with drop shippers for a fee – they are inevitably rip-offs. At the end of the day, the best way to find drop shipping companies is to contact them in the ‘real world’, not by typing ‘drop shipping’ into a search engine.

Doing it for Real.

If you want to make a profit with drop-shippers, be prepared for it to be quite a small one: you’re not going to make sales on eBay at a big mark-up from drop shipping prices. You will also have to accept that you can’t inspect stock before it gets sent out, and some of your descriptions might not be as good as they could be.

You should also be prepared for a few frustrating experiences with your drop shipper, as they might not share the same customer service values as you. The first time you’ll realise that they never sent something to one of your buyers is when you hear about it from the buyer a week later.

If you can accept all these things, though, and find a reputable drop shipper, then there’s money to be made. Good luck!

If you’d like to give up a little more profit and control over your eBay business to save the trouble of doing everything yourself, then you might be interested in eBay consignment centers. You can sell your items at an eBay consignment center by just leaving them there. Stay tuned to these emails for more.
