Making Money From Selling Products

4 Dec

Making Money From Selling Products

This type of business can be done in a few different ways. One way is to create and sell your own products. Crafters often get into this type of business to sell their own creations to the internet public. Scrapbook creators also choose this path for their business.

Another way to sell products is by using an online store selling other products. There would be no inventory of items to stock in your home, nor do you have to ship anything directly from your own location. The products are ordered through the ‘store’ you have set up and the wholesaler providing the products will ship the items direct to the customers for you.

What skills are helpful?

The skills you should have are the ability for hard work and good customer service skills. A lot of your time will be spent marketing your websites, so potential customers will find you. Having a good website set up will be necessary to provide the customers will everything they need when deciding whether or not to buy your products.

Customers will have questions about the products and may have some problems that you will need to address, so good customer service skills will be a must. Establishing good rapport with your customer will start the cycle going of them coming back to buy more from you. Providing them with top notch customer service will help you gain that.

What tools are needed?

If you have chosen to sell products that you create yourself; you will need to stock up on an inventory of items to create them. Check with some vendors to find good deals on items that are purchased in bulk to help you save some money.

Of course a website will be necessary as well as your customers will need to find your products, see what they are and have a way to order what you’re offering. Make sure the site has the shopping cart feature to make the purchasing process easier for your business.

How do you get started?

The first thing you will want to do is to decide what you’re going to sell. Are you creating your own products to offer or are you planning to sell other products through the use of drop shippers?

If you’re planning to sell items you create yourself, then you will need to research vendors for the inventory you will need to make those products. Have some made up ahead of time, so that when consumers start to order your product, you can ship them out right away and not make them wait another day or two while you make them up.

When the planning stage is done, you will need to get your website created to sell them from. Make sure the site is easy to navigate and isn’t so distracting that they get turned off from your business within a few seconds.

Of course, the last step in getting started in this business will be marketing your products, which will be discussed further on in this report. This step is the most important one if you want your business to be a success, so don’t skimp on this one.

Selling products is an excellent way to make some money online. If you already create products to give away as gifts to friends and family, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t take the product to the internet and start selling them.

If you like the idea of selling products, but don’t want to create one to make yourself or if you just don’t feel you are creative then you can still achieve this kind of business by having someone else ship products for you. Getting started this way online gives you the flexibility to spend the time needed with your family, but still earn a living.

Here’s my product that earns around $20,000 in a forum ??? Turn Your Junk PLR Articles Into KILLER Websites In 3 to 10 Minutes – Leverage Your TIME!!! ?? why? it’s because of the bonuses, quality of the product and BIG discount.

I even created a guide on how I achieve it here ==> Discover My Secret That Earn More Than $17,020 In Just One Product Alone in WSO! HUGE Bonuses

Make Money Online With Ross Dalangin #17

1) “Increase Sales With Audio Comments”

2) “Weekly Marketing Freebies”

3) “5-Step Plan – Selecting the Right Merchants (Part 3)”

>>>>> The 60 Second Weekly Tip <<<<<
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Increase Sales With Audio Comments!

Have you ever listened to those short audio clips that are
on many web sites? They often are informative and can spur
people to look more closely at a product or service.

Short audio sessions are not anything new. For decades,
businesses have employed fifteen-second audio sessions to
promote their products while callers were on hold, waiting
to speak with a customer service rep.

Theater owners have employed them to get in a plug for
concessions that are sold in the theater lobby. Who among
us have not heard a short audio session while in the
grocery store or in a discount retail store?

So it is no wonder that they are also working on the
internet as well.

To a degree, a short audio session makes the sales process
via the internet a little more personal, as the prospect
hears a human voice. That alone makes the session an
appealing way to reach a certain part of the populace.

Of course, a successful short audio session is going to be
to the point and informative. It will give the prospect
enough to ensure he or she will progress to the next level
and seriously consider the offering, rather than simply
scanning some text and moving on to another web site.

Settle on the subject for the session, make is crisp,
clear, and easy to understand. Then shut up before you get
too wordy.

5-Step Plan – Selecting the Right Merchants (Part 3)

In the last lesson we continued with Step #3 of the plan
and today we complete the final part of this step.

We finished last lesson talking about name recognition and
today we will disucss payouts, affiliate terms and the

merchants website.

Payout and Other Affiliate Terms or Restrictions:

This is actually a part of the selection process that many
new and seasoned affiliates alike tend to miss. But it can
be one of the most important steps.

You need to read the affiliate agreement specific to each
merchant you are planning to promote because it’s not
uncommon for each merchant to have specific terms and
restrictions attached to their affiliate programs.

For example, some merchants have strong restrictions about
what keywords you’re allowed to use for pay per click
advertising. Some merchants will not allow you to list
their name, their product brand names, or even their
website URL in your advertising.

If you’re creating a product based websites, there are
even merchants who do not allow you to list the product
prices on your website either.

Sometimes there are hidden payout exceptions in merchant
agreements as well. This is unfortunate, but it can happen.

For example, a merchant may say that you will not be paid
commissions on your sales for 60 or 90 days. Or they may
say that you only get paid for their first sale, but
nothing else.

Some will even say in their agreement, that if you make a
sale as an affiliate, but the person who bought the product
through you has already bought products from that merchant
in the past, you are not eligible for the commission.

It’s the small little catches and exceptions like these
that can cause major frustrations and headaches for
affiliate marketers. So being diligent about reading any
merchant agreement and terms specifics is an extremely
important part of your merchant selection process.

The Merchant’s Website:

This is another step in the merchant selection process
which many affiliates don’t think of at first. It’s a very
good idea to get into the habit of actually looking out the
merchant’s website before you sign up for them though.

Some merchants will prominently feature a customer service
phone number, or a toll-free order number, on their
website. And too often if a customer calls that number, the
affiliate is not credited with the sales commissions.

Sometimes a merchant will even put third-party
advertisements on their website. You may find that they are
running Google Adsense for example, or you may see that
they have products listed with affiliate links of their
own. If you send traffic to them and that traffic clicks on
one of their third-party advertisements, you will not earn
money from that.

Even if neither of the above problems are in place, you do
need to get a general feel of their website. Take a brief
look around and figure out whether this is a place you
might feel comfortable shopping at.

Take a look at common things such as their shipping
schedule, and their return policies. We once ordered a
simple two page booklet from a merchant for example, that
took six weeks to come in. Issues like that will increase
sales refunds, and eventually as the word spreads people
will simply not buy anything from that merchant.

Last but not least, navigate their site and see if there
are any errors or problems. Sometimes unfortunately, a
merchant website is simply designed horribly. Or nothing
seems to work. And regardless of the quality of their
products: if their website is not attractive and easy to
use, it will not make sales.

When selecting merchants to promote, we suggest you choose
at least three to work with in the same niche. This will
give you a broader base of products to select from, and you
will still have products to promote if one of your
merchants goes off-line temporarily, or simply closes their
affiliate program.

Traffic Basics – Page Titles!

In the last lesson we talked about tools that you can use
to monitor your website. Today we are going to talk about
using keywords in your page titles.

As we have discussed before, if you want to achieve good
search engine rankings you must use your keywords and
keywords phrases effectively. But did you know that it is
important to use your keyword in the page titles itself?

When you are optimizing your pages keep in mind that the
title tag is different from a Meta tag, but it’s important
to consider it as a part of your SEO strategy.

The text you place in the title tag (between the <title>
and </title> portions) will appear in the title bar of
browsers when visitors view the page.

The actual text you use in the title tag is one of the
most important factors in how a search engine may decide to
rank your web page.

In addition, all major web crawlers will use the text of
your title tag as the text they use for the title of your
page in your listings.

If you have designed your website as a series of websites
or linked pages (and not just a single home page) you must
bear in mind that each page of your website must be search
engine optimized.

The title of each page, ie. the keywords you use on that
page and the phrases you use in the content, will draw
traffic to your site.

The unique combination of these words and phrases and
content will draw customers using different search engine
terms and techniques, so be sure you capture all the
keywords and phrases you need for each product, service or
information page.

The most common mistake made by website owners when they
first design their website is they place their business
name in every title of every page.

Most of your prospective customers will not know the name
of your business until after they have looked at your site
and decided it is worth book marking.

So, while you may want your business name in the title of
the home page, it is probably a waste of valuable keywords
and space to put it in the title line of every page on
your site.

Consider putting keywords in the title so that your page
will display closer to the top of the search engine listing.

Avoiding the stop words such as ‘and’, ‘at’ and the like
in the first three keyword positions in your title is
crucial in search engine optimization.

Another good tip is to keep the title tag less than 64
characters long and do your best to ensure that the title
tag and your meta description are interesting, meaningful,
and relevant to your site.

That’s all for this lesson. In the next lesson we will be
going over some tips for increasing your websites ranking
and traffic.

Make Money Online With Ross Dalangin #6

14 Oct

Hi,

Welcome to another issue of “Make Money Online With Ross Dalangin”.

This issue includes…

1) “What Was Your Biggest Mistake?”

2) “Weekly Marketing Freebies”

3) “Have You Hugged Your Customer Today?”

4) “Blogging Basics – Managing Multiple Blogs”

5) “Tell Us What You Think!”

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
>>>>> The 60 Second Weekly Tip <<<<<
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

What Was Your Biggest Mistake?

Let me first start by asking this question…

How successful was your business in the past year? Did you
reach the income goals you expected.

What about your mistakes. What was your biggest mistake
over the course of the last 12 months?

Now be honest with yourself!

Did you spend too much money on a project that flopped?

Did you spread yourself too thin? Did you try to start too
many projects at once? Was it a lost opportunity?

Did you jump from one project to the next – without giving
each of them a chance to work?

As an online marketer you have opportunities coming at you
left, right and center. They are everywhere. And it’s only
natural that you want to be able to take advantage of as
many of those opportunities as you can.

Unfortunately this creates a lack of focus – and this
often results in a massive decrease in your efficiency…
and profits.

Without question, the best thing you can do for your
business is to focus on one major project at a time until
you’ve got that portion of your business churning out the
level of profits you’re comfortable with – ideally on
autopilot.

Only then should you move onto the next project.

Regardless of what your biggest mistake was in the last
year, it’s important that you learn from the mistakes you
have made.

Without mistakes, there is little opportunity to learn the
important lessons.

Instead of beating yourself up about your biggest mistake,
sit down and think about what you can do to make sure you
don’t repeat the same mistake again.

Look at that mistake as a learning experience, and let it
motivate you to make improvements in your business or your
personal life.

Have You Hugged Your Customer Today?

I’m not just being mushy! I don’t mean literally. What I am
saying is customer appreciation is the best way to create
customer loyalty. Good customer service is the surest path
to success in any business.

Lets face it without customers your business is dead.
Repeat customers are the life blood of any business. It’s
a proven fact that happy customers make repeat purchases and
not only that they tell all their friends. Which means more
customers.

Tell me…

When your happy or excited about a product or service what
is the first thing you do? You tell every on you know.
Right? If you have a great experience with the staff at a
store or restaurant what do you do? You go back again!

What if you have a bad experience? Do you go back? NO!
and that’s not the end you make sure you tell everyone you
know you had a hard time and never, NEVER to use that
company.

Have you ever walked into a store and been snubbed, totally
ignored at the check out? What to you do? You walk out
with out making a purchase.

Now, how many times have you walked into a store with no
intention of making a purchase. You were greeted by a
friendly face and a warm courteous atmosphere, then you
end up walking out with a bag full of goodies.

It’s happened to all of us :-)

Good customer service will never go out of style. It’s so
simple but it is where most business fail.

Show your customers that you appreciate them. It’s the
little things that matter. Like a friendly voice and
prompt courteous service. Going that extra mile to make
them feel special. You can create a huge following of loyal
customers just by being nice.

But don’t stop there. The possibilities are endless.

Have you ever been to a nice hotel where they leave a
chocolate on your pillow?

Now that chocolate only cost them a few pennies but it
made your experience nicer. It made you remember their
hotel above others.

How about customer reward programs. Sales will soar when you
tell your customers that they will get one free after they
purchase three. A free gift with every purchase. Every one
likes presents.

What about customer appreciation days, sales and specials.

Hold an event throw a party just for customers that you
have done business with before. Make them feel special,
like they matter, that they are important to you. Then
watch your business reap the rewards.

Blogging Basics – Managing Multiple Blogs!

In todays lesson we are going to go over some tips for
managing multiple blogs.

While some bloggers may focus exclusively on only one blog
at a time, there are many bloggers who manage to maintain
several different blogs at one time.

However, not all bloggers are able to do this successfully.

Some bloggers compromise their content quality (as well as
quantity) trying to maintain too many blogs. Yet other
bloggers have the ability to keep several blogs up to date
with relative ease.

There are a few key elements to maintaining multiple
successful blogs and in this lesson we will go over some
of them.

(Including keeping content original, keeping blogs up
to date and budgeting your time to work on each blog)

First we’ll go over keeping your content original.

When you take on the challenge of maintaining multiple blogs
you must be careful to keep the content of each blog
unique and fresh.

This will help to prevent your blog visitors from feeling as
though the information they are receiving is not original.

It will also help to prevent readers who frequently visit
one or more of your blogs from deciding to start only
visiting one of the blogs because they feel the postings
are ‘stale’.

Now let’s talk about how you can keep each blog up to date.

When you are managing multiple blogs you should take care to
post to each blog on a regular basis.

Doing this will help you avoid problems which stem from
blog visitors feeling as though the blogs are stagnant.

Even the most interesting and informative blogs can lose
traffic quickly if the blog visitors do not see new content.
Keep in mind that the internet is continually evolving and
updating. As a result blog readers can afford to be
finicky and are not likely to remain dedicated to a blog
that does not post fresh and relative information regularly.

They will simple begin to search elsewhere for information
they are seeking.

Finding the time to work on each blog can also be a huge
challenge. Particularly if your run your blog in your
‘spare time’.

When you maintain several blogs you are often faced with
the dilemma of finding time to devote to each blog.

However, this is very important because you cannot afford
to neglect one or more of your blogs. Doing this for even a
short time can result in a marked decline of traffic to
your blog.

Therefore it is extremely important that you budget your
time carefully to ensure that you can dedicate sufficient
time to each blog.

This time management exercise may start out by assessing
the needs of each blog. Some blogs may require a great deal
of time and effort each week to keep the blog functioning
properly while other blogs may require only a small amount
of time for the same purpose.

In general, blogs which require a great deal of research
will require more time and energy than blogs which are
based on your opinions and feelings and are therefore not
as research intensive.

Once you have determined how much time it will be required
to maintain each blog, you can schedule your time
accordingly.

You should plan to take time, every so often to evaluate
how well each of your blogs are operating. And way you can
make any adjustments to the schedule that may be needed.

Additionally, you may also need to make a decision to
eliminate one of your blogs or enlist assistance in keeping
your blogs updated if necessary.

When it comes to managing multiple blogs, time management
is the key. Just be sure to include enough time in your
schedule so that each of your blogs gets the required
amount of attention that it takes to be successful.

Website as Storefronts

14 Sep

Website as Storefronts

A customer walks into the store, browses through products and shelves, picks up items, inspects, considers the prices, chooses a product and takes it to the cash register to pay. Now if you want to sell your products online, then your site must be enabled for e-commerce, where you must have the following features:

•    You need to provide plenty of content and product description like sizes, dimensions, colors and comparisons with other similar products. It must allow the customer to choose a product, get a clear pricing and shipping costs on the product, complete the transaction and get an order number, and/or invoice confirmation via email. Allow your customer to choose a shipping method.
•    You must tell the customer if the item is in stock or delivered against order. Ideally, you should have an email contact or live help if the customer has a question. Most importantly you must respond immediately! If you want to provide your own live chat and help desk services on your website, specialized softwares are available for purchase.
•    Be sure your customer service links are large and clearly marked, so your client does not have to dig around to find information.
•    Provide an ‘about us’ section or a section about your policies. If you have privacy statements and customer satisfaction policies, your customer will feel better about shopping in your store.
•    You probably want to have customer quotes and references on the storefront page, as well, to let your prospective client know that others are happy with your service.
•    Provide an FAQ with information about your return-back policies, guarantees, shipping prices and insurance charges if any.
•    If you are so inclined, you can offer a print catalogue if the customer prefers to order one from your storefront and shop in the privacy of their homes.
•    Do not annoy your customers by presenting products that are marked ‘sold’ or pages that say ‘under construction’ or ‘coming soon’.
•    Do add new content frequently, so your returning customers will not be bored by seeing the same products they saw four months ago.
•    If your site has got a date tag or has current references, be careful to change these references frequently so you don’t give the perception that nobody is attending or reading your site.
