Selling Wholesale Products

Yesterday I talked about looking into some wholesale companies that dop-ship. While these are great options, and I plan on using them; there are other options. One of the other options would be finding a wholesale company that does not drop ship, that only sells ‘pallets’ of product at wholesale prices. Thinks like an entire pallet of books could be as little as 100.00, then you take it apart and sell them individually for profit.

The reason this is a good option is that the prices will generally be lower per item than with the drop ship companies, the downfall however is the money it will take to get started. Between a minimum order amount, shipping, and your costs of packing and listing fees, it can get expensive. If you are wanting to get into this, you may take a look into getting a small business line of …

Make Life easier with Pre-Built Website Templates

I love templates, they make everything so much easier, all you have to edit is the text at a minimum. Although some of them require you to edit a few images to show your menu options and the header, but those changes are suprisingly simple. Check out , they have TONS of templates, from website templates, logos (really good looking Logos- check out the ” CorporateID - 3D” to see what I mean), powerpoint templates, and even word document templates at the bottom of the right side menu.

The word templates are great, I wish I would have had those when I was redoing my moms hospice employee manuals, they are so much better designed than the few on Office online. This is a paid place, but really a good deal, it is a one time payment of 59.95, to access and …

Yard Signs for your Business

September 26, 2007 | Author: Eve Lester | Filed under: SEO and Marketing

You have probably all seen the signs in town; saying things such as “earn 10,000 a month part time, call this number” and such. As much as those are crap signs, think about what a sign promoting your business would do? If your a web designer, design a great sign with basic info and great design, and place it around town (get permission first). For some good prices check out the signs at Build a Sign, they are a lot less than our local sign dealer, it is worth doing some comparison shopping around town and online to find the best deal.

Reminder- Submit your “Day in the Life” posts

I am holding a Group Writing Project for all of the bloggers out there, we all work differently, at strange hours, in weird places, but all have a common goal, success of the blog (or blogs).

I often get questions from readers asking how I do it, how I keep up with three very busy blogs as well as participate in two group blogs. I know how I do it, I work from 7am to 5:30/6 most days. Not all of that is spent ‘working’ as you will see in my post, but I do do things that ‘help’. See I don’t see message boards as wasting time like some do, I think message boards are a great networking tool, and for people like me, it is some of the little interaction with humans I ever get! Let’s get everything in your day, even the shower faucets- …

Need some Strength in your Business?

September 26, 2007 | Author: Eve Lester | Filed under: Blogging

If you are feeling tired and run down it just may be time to take on some help, be it inviting guest bloggers to help with content production, or hiring a blogger or 2 to write on your blog for a set amount of money. However, if you are not there financially, you may need to look at other options. For instance, I have three blogs right now, 2 of which I am able to keep up with, but the third is posing a problem. I am not making money on the third one as it is so new, so the best option for me to do would be selling it.
