Maganging Dropshipper Inventory

By: Chuck LaPenta


The Fine Art of Controlling the Vast Quantity of Products for Your Dropship Business

Lemoyne, PA, October, 28, 2007: The Discount Electronics Store (Lapantz, Inc.) offers 1000s of Low-Cost, Brand-Name electronics for their online store. Even though the company is small in size, they are able to offer a very competitive price while at the same time, manage a very large inventory, keeping up with product availability and price changes.

How do they do this without a large staff of analyst to constantly comb the web to verify pricing is competitive with their competition? They have a secret weapon!

The “weapon” is automation. Its really no secret that automating a process can and will easily and quickly do the job of many individuals. The automated process is similar to that of the Google Spider process. The difference being that instead of combing the web, the companys spider does a checks and balance against the distributors inventory database. Verifying products are currently in stock and also looking at price changes.

If there has been a change in price or inventory, the automation process systematically updates the current product listing on the company website. This ensures that the product status is current, up to date and ready for the customers purchase.

Drop shipping can be a lucrative business if the right approach is taken. Yes, it can be done manually and there are those that are successful doing it this way. But, if you want to manage a large inventory of thousands of product in the quickest, most efficient way possible, your company should look into an inventory automation process.

Automation frees up time that can be spent on other aspects of the companys success. Marketing, sales and networking can now be focused on with the inventory management process being automated.

In the past 2-4 years or so, drop shipping has become a huge market. Everyone wants to jump in and try it. The problem is, a lot of new businesses fail, because they didn’t go about it the right way.

The first thing you want to do to start drop shipping is; Find a reliable drop shipper that isn’t a middleman. In order to find a reliable drop shipper go to the source. Call the manufacturer and ask them to give you the contact information, for their authorized wholesale distributors. Some manufacturers will work with small business, but it is very rare. Sometimes you may run into a problem where the manufacturer only sells to certain retailers. So drop shipping isn’t for every product out there. For the most part, drop shipping can be very effective in starting a home business.

Product research is the next basic step, when you find a reliable drop shipper. This will take up the most of your time. You could do product research for 2-3 hours a day and you might not get anywhere. Or you could go to ebay’s seller central pages. They list all the hot items that are in season on ebay sellers central. From that information you could use it to, find products that will sell the best. Your product research should always include, comparing prices to other ebay merchants. Can your prices compete with their prices? You have to look out for categories that wholesale distributors are selling in as well. That’s right, some wholesale distributors will sell their overstock on ebay. You can’t compete with these kind of prices, so don’t try. Also remember that you are buying at drop ship prices; you won’t be able to compete with people buying bulk lots at wholesale prices. Just look for a category that has the newest gadgets with small profit margins. There won’t be any overstock with new products. Find categories with little or no competition. Start off small, sell multiple items in each auction for maximum profit.

Keep it simple. Remember to keep your business simple when you first start off. Do your research and sell 2-5 items at a time, until you find the best sellers. It’s going to take a lot of trial and error. Keep a log book of each item and how good or bad it sells. Don’t start trying to sell 100 items in your first week. You will surely fail if you try and take on too much at once. It’s going to take tons of research to find the best items to sell. So keeping it simple will help you out.

Drop shipping is great to start off any small home business. Just keep in mind, your long term goal should be buying in bulk to resell.

Internet Marketing Is VERY Real. And VERY Profitable.

By: Andrew Gowans


Success on the internet as with any enterprise depends largely on being able to focus through having an absolutely clear picture of where you want to be, determining exactly how you are going to get there, and setting specific, measurable goals. If youre ready to make drastic improvements to your online earnings, then you know what to do…

The problem with affiliate programs is that the payouts are just too small to achieve any substantial income. The income we all need in order to pay those bills that come at the end of each month AND allow us to save AND allow us to spoil ourselves and our family from time to time.

Ive sold various affiliate programs that accounted for the majority of my online income in the past couple of years.

One other problem is that youre going to find lots of junk out there and in fact lots of people claiming to be top Internet marketers, guaranting you consistent high payouts but You will find that most of them use PPC (pay per click) marketing, but what they are not telling you is that this is all they know how to do!

So, lets get down to some hard truths and stop all this false teaching once and for all!

How much time have you now spent trying to find the solution you are looking for? Has anyone given you any real How To guidance on what it is you need to do to take your online business to a more successful and cash generating level?

I know many of you have been online a long time, with a lot of you online even longer than me, but its still a fact that 92% of ALL people online, regardless of experience make less than $500 a month with their internet business.

If thats the case with you then youre probably wondering what is the difference that separates you from the other 8%?

One thing Ive noticed online is that people tend to jump on the next big thing over and over again.

For example, one month a guru says “use Adsense” and so everyone is trying to use that to make money.

Then next month another guru is saying “Use Pay Per Click” … so everyone drops the Adsense business model and moves onto PPC.

But then again the following month, someone else suggests something totally different.

What happens then?

You guessed it … people drop the PPC model and move onto the next big thing.

It sounds crazy but that is EXACTLY what thousands of people are doing online today.

If they dont see immediate results within a week, they give up and move onto something else … for just another week or so.

I was guilty myself of this and it took me a LONG time to realise this is the WRONG way to do things.

See if you spot the pattern…

  • acquiring resell rights to e-Books and software products, and selling them online and on eBay
  • joining affiliate programs and buying pay per click ads to send traffic to the merchants
  • building a mailing list by giving away free e-Books, then trying to sell to the people on the list
  • building web sites, and doing the proper SEO things to get traffic to them
  • setting up blogs, and pinging the directories
  • writing articles and distributing them to dozens of article directories
  • purchasing private label rights (PLR) for thousands of other articles
  • buying high price DVD/CD courses to learn how to drive trafic to my sites
  • joining paid membership sites that provided niche products and niche product ideas
  • and much, much, more.

Like many other trying to be internet marketers, I had bought the e-Books, visited the forums, subscribed to the ezines, and tried dozens of the schemes and techniques which the gurus promised would lead me to riches. I wasnt looking for a get rich quick method, I was willing to work hard and do whatever it took.

Between the cost of the paid membership sites, and the cost of the e-Books and courses I was purchasing, I was spending a small fortune and getting nowhere.

Does that sound like you? Have you bought the books and courses, spent so much time online your family forgot what you looked like? Are you tired of all the false teaching, hype and lack of success?

If youve read this far, theres a good chance that you can somehow relate to my earlier struggles and frustration, which lasted more than two long years.

Fact is – internet marketing is VERY real. And VERY profitable.

However many aspiring internet marketers do not get the results they deserve due to these very important “missing links”:

  • A proven successful mentor – who really knows what he/shes doing, and is willing to teach others
  • A proven step-by-step system – where even a complete beginner can get results
  • A show-me environment – where you can see exactly what you should do

Having these 3 working for you will change everything.

With every great change there comes a great opportunity What Better Way To Learn Than From The Top Marketing Minds On The ?Net!

If you want to be successful online, I believe that you have to stick to a solid plan of action and try not to get distracted.

Even if youre starting out online and havent had any success at all you need to find something you can focus on that will bring you results.

Thats some of the most honest advice I can give to you – consider joining us and youll soon be able to see just how to build a REAL business that can generate a REAL income online.

If you truly want to learn everything there is to know about developing your highly profitable online business we can guide you but are you ready? Thats what you got to ask yourself.

If youre ready to stop jumping around from the “next big thing” to the NEXT “next big thing” then listen up…

How to Start an eBay Business

By: Bill Henthorn

Here is a list of ideas on how to start a business using eBay. I like the one about an eBay-drop-off-store. We actually had a guy in Walla Walla, Washington doing that for a living for quite awhile. He advertised in the newspaper and on the cable channels. The local newspaper even did a story on him and how he could help you get rid of all that junk in your garage. So read these ideas and see if maybe it would be better if you actually dropshipped for others instead of having them dropship for you. (Right? Wouldn’t that be reverse dropshipping if you shipped stuff out for some guy who had you sell it on eBay for him? LOL)


eBay has become a great way to sell all kind of merchandise on the web. A person can start out by selling personal items they wish to get rid of and graduate to selling merchandise that they find or contract for. An eBay business can become a full time business and for some be a very profitable enterprise.

How to get started on eBay

eBay has a website that can be found on the Net that describes exactly what a potential seller on eBay needs to do. There are many other sites that offer to help and or teach you how to be successful on eBay. There is obviously no lack of information and websites that are willing to help you get started.

Use What Youve Got: Capitalizing On Ebays Extensive Resources

By: Chris Malta

If you are going to become a Powerseller on eBay and make millions dropshipping products, you really need to learn about all of the tools that are available on eBay, and then actually use them. I will try to find more articles that show you how to use eBay for making a living dropshipping products online, so check back often.


An eBay store is a tremendous sales channel for any Internet retailer. The traffic alone makes it more than worth the small price tag. But many eBay sellers dont avail themselves of the impressive line-up of marketing tools eBay supplies, and miss the chance to increase their exposure and improve their sales. States Rebecca Shapiro, co-founder of eBay store consulting service, http://OasisConnect.com, “I see very few sellers tapping into all the resources they have at their disposal. If you choose to use them, eBay gives you all the tools you need to brand, optimize, and market your business.”

Room for Improvement

Even if your eBay business is already doing well, you can affect a big difference in your bottom line with just a few small adjustments:

* Use your eBay store to advance your brand.

A big part of branding is creating a recognizable image; so when you set up your store, you want it to make sure it reflects your off-eBay web site. Besides choosing your colors and adding your logo, you can put in your own HTML code to create a very branded store that effectively identifies your product and your business.
