The Basics Of Drop Shipping Houses

For long, the regular retails stores have been the major sources of products. With the development of Internet the online retail stores have become very popular due to their easy access. In the retailing business you are the one who is responsible to hold stock of goods, the packaging and shipping. You have to look into the maintenance of inventory of goods depending upon the demand for the different products. To avoid this problem, some use the fulfillment houses that store merchandise for you, get the orders and ship the products to the customer. Similarly there are some houses or wholesale companies who own the goods and ship them to the customer. This is drop shipping.

Here it’s your company who gets the order and the payment for it and then forwards the order to the drop shipper. In this case the ownership of the product is with the drop shipper, but the customer database is with you. The drop shipper pays you a sales commission on the goods shipped by the company. Generally in industrial areas of different states you will find large buildings similar to warehouses. These would typically be those of the drop shipping companies. They are not open for the general public. They will be catering to the drop ship orders from these locations only.

How does it work?

There are two types of drop shipping facilities, manufacturing wholesale drop shipping and the Internet retailing wholesale drop shipping. In wholesale drop shipping, you have to be aware of the minimum quantity requirements otherwise the stock would remain stuck up with you. However, the popular one is the Internet retailing wholesale drop shipping. It is even useful for those who are looking at home-based business propositions. In this case, it should be understood that you are the retailer without the stock and you will have to find a drop-shipping house to supply the products to your customers.

For using the Internet based drop shipping business, you need to have a portal for your business. You are the retailer in this relationship. You should have an Internet store with the shopping cart facility as well as the capacity to accept credit cards. Then you find a drop shipper who accepts drop shipping those products. You set up an account as the retailer with the drop-ship supplier. On receiving the images and descriptions of the products from the drop shipper you post the same on to the Internet store. When the prospective customers visit the site and decide on the products on the basis of the price quoted, he purchases the item using his credit card and pays the amount with some additional shipping fees in it. In turn, you send the order to the drop shipper with the name and address details of the customer. He in turn sends the products to the customer directly. The drop shipper charges the wholesale price plus the shipping charges. The customer receives the goods at the doorstep.

Thus drop shipping is useful when you want to keep yourself away from the worries of maintaining inventory as well as the risk on the unsold goods. The shipping and logistic concerns are also taken care of by the drop shipping houses.

Hope this of some use to you all any questions feel free to ask

till next time

A friend of mine is starting a new membership site and I thought you may like to have a look at it. http://www.lkldigitalmedia.com
It is set to launch within the next two weeks and he has guaranteed everybody who requests advance notification a massive discount if they decide to join. He is also letting you have a whole bunch of brand new downloads for free as a thankyou for requesting info. He guarantees to upload brand new ebooks and software packages every week (at least 2 but probably more for the first few months). The big news is that it’s going to be the cheapest membership site on the internet but still providing all the top products that the big boys offer. Anyway, take a look and decide for yourself and get the free downloads while you can as the page and the special opening deal will be getting pulled next week. Once again it’s at http://www.lkldigitalmedia.com

Master class catch up

Hello everyone I know it’s been a while, life has been so very busy I have sat and tried to write my catch up for a while now but never managed to complete the post, shame on me. We are now on to week thirteen my last post was five and six.

I have been concentrating on my college web design course, I have had to build a web site using css and it has taken some doing hope I have passed, at least I have got the hang of css (cascading style sheets) I did not know what it meant at the beginning of last month.

If you are getting into writing your own web pages or sales pages if you get stuck I have to recommend this fantastic site, w3schools.com this site is very informative and very helpful with all things web design defiantly worth a look.

So the Master class I have been playing catch up and have really struggled to find my niche but have after some research and a lot of reading, I am making some good progress.

I have managed to get my graphics sorted and have to say they look great thanks Steve. (Mental note leave feedback at planet divinity). So have moved on quite well this last week I have nearly got a draft copy of my eBook, feel like I am nearly caught up now. My goal is to get caught up by the end of this week in between the diy, and work. I am still enjoying the course and learning loads.

Thanks for the great comments from all the Jt students and the support when i was way way behind you are a great bunch.

Will post again later in the week bye for now

Regards, Adam

John Thornhills Masterclass weeks 5 and 6

Hello everyone,
again sorry for the gap between posts, time just seems to go nowhere week four came and went, then week five was upon me I am actually typing this post near the end of week six. As you can see I am still not  hot on the time management thing but I promise I will get better.
So a quick recap  on whats happened in the master class over weeks five and six, week five goes something like this, I read my pdf file as normal,first on the list  I  had to email my  blog URL to john, this done I moved on to the next task which was to load my header and footer graphics to my blog , thanks again guys for the easy to follow videos enabling me, a complete beginner to carry out the tasks with ease. so after putting the finishing touches to my blog, removing blog titles from banners and customizing my Rss feed which dose work, if any body wants to Rss feel free just click the button in the top right, this was week 5 completed.

I was quite excited because I new that week six was starting early with a webinar on Sunday evening, so I booked my place on the webinar and logged in when the time came, it was great I am not sure how many of us were actually on line but I really enjoyed the interaction with other students, first class job John thanks, well done for overcoming one of your fears. I had a few questions I wanted to ask but as the webinar went on all my questions got answered, as I said it was a really good session I would hope for more in the future.

so the start of week six arrived on Monday and wow this did not disappoint thank you John and Dave Nicholson for membership to total Webb traffic. This has been an eye opener and is a brilliant product. I went on to install a wid link to display all the students blog links on my site this is great as we can see what each other are doing and how we are all progressing, and I must say well done to everyone the sites are all great and some are outstanding with some very useful hints and tips, I spent the rest of my week traveling the other John Thornhill student blogs, not managed them all yet but I will  eventually.

To JT’s masterclass students continued success.

Regards Adam.

John Thornhills Masterclass week 4

Hello everyone sorry its been a while since my last post, time really did run out for me over the last week .

It has been really busy time what with johns course, other family commitments,

I seriously hope I have not bitten off more than I can chew, I decided as my venture into Internet marketing increases in speed, I find myself not understanding web design as in depth as I would like, html, css, xhtml, e.t.c, you might be thinking whats he talking about. These were my  feelings exactly so I decided to enroll on a part time Webb design course.  Don’t get me wrong Johns walk through videos are brilliant but I am one of those people who likes to know how, why,  when and what for. It is great fun learning new things not had that learning buzz since I was at college a lot of years ago.I will keep you informed on my progress this has taken another evening from me but I think it will be worth while .

 But the more I try and do, I have realised that I really do have to plan my time better, not one of my strong points but hopefuly improving all the time. (will keep you posted on my progress )

I received part 4 of Johns course last Monday and as usual eagerly read my pdf file, I had already ordered  my blog graphics and received them so was expecting to be making the finishing touches to my blog  (as I think you will agree is looking pretty good) but as I read on I realised this would not be happening, but instead we were adding an opt in email capture box to our blogs  I already had my aweber account set up so Lucky for me my week for was almost completed on the Monday night I managed to finish completely on Tuesday so allowing me to carry on with my busy week.

So to conclude so far the course is really good have learnt loads and still lots more to come, I have started to jot down a few Ideas for posts,If you have any requests please let me Know via comments. I am now engaged in some research on these ideas so they will be coming soon. And no I have not forgotten about the free stuff just trying to put some really worth while things together for you so watch this space check back soon.

Till my next post

Regards Adam

 John Thornhills Masterclass Week 3

Hello , half way through  the week now, week three started for me on Monday when johns course material came through. I was eager to get started, I managed to move through the list quite quickly because I was already registered for a few things that needed to be done. So I think you will agree that the overall look of the blog is looking good with a new theme, I have just ordered new header and footer for the site so next week the look will change again, for the better.

So Tuesday and tonight have been spent doing research and generally getting to grips with the settings of the blog site, I needed  to make a few changes and tweaks, I think this is just a continuous process, If you are always looking to improve you will end up with a great site great products and great content for your readers.

As part of  my research I have taken to heart Johns lessons, one of which is to provide good new fresh content on your blog for your readers, so watch this space hopefully over the next few weeks I will be adding some different posts about different subjects That will hopefully be of some use to you all.

I will also be adding a free stuff section so keep checking in.

Regards Adam

I read my pdf file and then continued on with the checklist we first registered accounts for our affiliate links, then downloaded ftp software so we could up load our blogs onto the Webb. and as usual this was all explained in a step by step video, and then my blog was born after a bit of tweaking adding and removing  this is the result, please let me know what you think .

The remainder of the week resulted in the posts you can read on my blog and research, can not wait untill week three begins check back soon for my updates

John Thornhills Masterclass week 1

Hi thanks for following my blog,

To say i was excited on 2nd of february to receive my first lesson from john was an understatement, I rushed home from my job and logged on with enthusiasm (if you can?), read my pdf files as instructed printed of my week one work sheet. Then proceed to carry out the tasks as instructed.

If I had any fears about the quality of the material and teaching of John they were all laid to rest in that first lesson, with easy to follow step by step videos and all the links you needed, as I already had Webb hosting and few registered domains before, I found this straight forward but even without my previous experience john left no questions unanswered for the beginner.

This lesson really did start building from the ground up for what I feel is going to be a very exciting and fulfilling course, bring on week two till my next post.

Regards Adam

ps. Thanks John

Newbie Internet Marketer Part Two

Hi, To carry on from my last post, my phenomena was no other than John Thornhill, yes at first I received a few emails and thought it was just the same format, you know the one “ Ive got something you need to crack the internet and make money” as you can imagine by this point scepticle was my middle name, but always the eternal optimist I carried on opening the emails and to my surprise I found some free reports and bits of content from John that made sense.

I now started to think  not every Internet marketer was just out to relieve me of  cash,  had I stumbled across someone who actually helped people to make sense of the information overload.

With this new found enthusiasm I set off  to make sense of  my information, had I had found a mentor, dare I say some one to trust and not feel like they wanted my credit card every five minutes. Do not get me wrong John sells information products but what makes them different they all seem to come with a helping hand.

So I signed up for my own ebook business, I have had this set up for a while but due to personal family commitments have not been able to move forward as I wished. But have followed what John has been up to on his blog and his different update emails.

Then in January I received an email that I could not ignore,  offering me a place on his Johns  Master class, this I felt was the boot up the backside I needed I had to take action to change my life so with a few umm’s and rrrr’s I took a leap of faith and I am now enrolled on John Thornhills Master class.

My next post will start to record my progress on this 36 week course, till then.

Regards Adam
