Retail
and Reselling
A Product Based Business
Retail:
Create or find your own product. You can then sell it yourself
and You can set up your own affiliate program, where others
will sell your product for you. A couple of programs that
have been in business a long time is: Commission Junction,
and Linkshare. I've used both and have had success.
Resale:
The resale aspect of this business is tailor made for those
of you that love to sell. The simple version is you find
a product, match that up to the market that can best use
it, and sell it. The advantages of reselling someone else's
product is that you don't have any distractions from the
creating, packaging or shipping. All you do is find a market
for it, and sell it.
Choosing
the business or product you want to resell
Since you are selling this product, most of the things to
consider are directly related to the ease in marketing and
the return on your product. Make sure you get all the information
possible on the product or service you are reselling. Check
out the company that is providing it thoroughly, because
if that company goes down, it will reflect on you.
Is this a product you feel comfortable reselling.
Will it bring you the income you are looking for.
Will the product continue to bring in income, on a monthly
basis from your sales.
Or will the return on each sale be high enough that you
don't need residual income.
How easy will it be to market
Will you have an expanding marketing - one that keeps
growing.
Do you already have a network of customers that might
benefit from this product/business.
Can you package it with a another business when you sell
it to increase the profit.
How
to market your resale business
You can choose your marketing and advertising methods. Use
whatever method you like that will best sell your product.
Learn marketing techniques, starting with developing a marketing
plan and exploring the various combinations of advertising
to exploit that plan. Start at Chickadee's
