eCommerce – for Beginners, the Easy Way!
Have you ever wanted to sell “stuff” on-line? Do you dream of selling the best, high-quality products to anyone on the planet, 24-hours a day, 7-days a week? I thought so. But, I bet you don’t want to worry about shipping, and inventory control, and credit card fraud, and merchant accounts, and marketing and the rest of the “less-glamorous” side of eCommerce? Am I right? Come on, admit it.
Well, I’ve discovered a solution that meets the above criteria, that’s actually fun. I made money last night while I slept!
Here’s what you won’t need to be able to do:
- Be able to build a website
- Inventory products
- Get involved with shipping
- Invest a ton of money up-front
- Be a marketing genius
Here’s what you will need to be able to do:
- Pick a profitable niche market
- Spend a little time learning pay-per-click (PPC) marketing
- TAKE ACTION
Seriously, that’s it!
What do you need to be successful? You’ll need the support of a huge company that can take care of the hassles for you (shipping, inventory, billing, etc.). It would also be nice to have a business model that’s been proven to work. Having 10′s of thousands of products to sell would help, wouldn’t it? Have you ever priced out a website that has all the features I’ve mentioned in it? I can’t afford one, and I build them for a living!
Well, here’s the deal. I recently became a re-seller for Amazon.com. Heard of them? I thought so. In less than an hour I “built” a website to sell Christmas toys for the holiday season. While I slept last night, I sold a $500+ Nintendo WII. While I ate lunch today, I sold another one! And I’ve got a bunch of folks that have filled their shopping cart, but haven’t checked out yet. Please go to www.toydeals.biz and see how this highly-cutomizable sites looks. It’s easy to navigate, clean, has numerous feaures common oin high-end sites, and you can even buy something! Prices are great, shipping is quick (and it’s one of the only places you can get a Nintendo WII before Christmas!). Heck, I’m selling products on the Internet two hours after I started, and www.toydeals.biz isn’t even listed in the search engines yet.
In another hour or so, I built multiple Google Adwords pay-per-click campaigns. I used the easiest, most full featured software in the world to research the campaign. It’s called Keyword Elite, and I strongly recommend it to anyone that is serious about driving traffic to their website or Blog with PPC techniques. PPC is the fastest way to drive traffic on the Internet.
