Shipping Your
Product
Some
wholesalers will "drop-ship" product (meaning: they will ship
for you). However, if they do not drop-ship (or you are selling
products you produce yourself) there are a number of options
when it comes to shipping your product.
#1)
The U.S. Postal Service #2)
UPS #3) DHL
REMEMBER,
you should at least double the total costs of your product to
arrive at your retail price. Since shipping is part of your
cost of doing business, be sure to know your shipping costs and
include them when determining your product prices. |
Alpha Mall
Membership / Service Sites
Maybe Your business is not selling products, but services.
Whether you are selling unique information, offering
mentoring and coaching, or providing some other
service, a monthly membership site may be a better option
for you than a shopping cart of products for sale.
Not only
is it fast to set up (with the right tools), but the start-up
and running costs are minimal.
Target the
right market:
Find a market that is passionate about a subject, and then build
your membership site around it.
Make it
unique:
Ideally potential subscribers shouldn’t be able to find the same
information elsewhere for free online. Your job is to search
online (and in some case offline) for content, and provide it in
a convenient manner for your subscribers.
