I have been selling items online for some time now and I can certainly help you out especially if you are a beginner in this field.

Where to start selling?

There are many different aspects of selling items online and you may want to start selling items online on eBay or you may want to have your own website to sell things online. Either way we can still help you on this front.

Which products to start selling?

One of the things you have to think about when starting a business is what product are you going to sell and how are you going to sell that product for a profit?

Well, there are many websites around which have various offers for products which are available at discount prices.

There are a great range or products at some of these websites which include a drop shipping service in Drop Shipping Wholesalers and SaleHoo! Drop shipping involves you selling items online which you actually do not have in stock! This means all you do when someone orders your stuff online is simply pass the details of the order on to the drop shipper and pay the wholesale price and he will then ship the stuff off to the consumer.

Your profit is the difference between the price at which you bought the product and what you paid the wholesaler.

There is less risk when selling items online this way because you do not hold the actual stuff in stock which means you won’t be stuck with products you can’t sell and you also don’t have to pay for storage costs.

You should definitely check these sites out (salehoo! and Dropshipping Wholesalers) for your online business because you may be able to find goods that are going for more than 75% less than the retail price. This means that there is plenty of room for profit and less risk!

Another thing you probably want to have a look at is creating your very own website. This gives you complete control over your business when selling items online. You do not have to adhere to anyone else’s terms and conditions this way. There are many ways in which you can do this but the one way I would recommend is that you join Wealthy Affiliate University.

Wealthy Affiliate is a great resource of anyone who wants to do anything online, especially selling items online using the drop shipping methods which are similar to affiliate marketing methods. Whether it is on a small or large scale WA can help you. Whether you are a stay at home mom or a fully-fledged business you can benefit from the training at Wealthy Affiliate University and this is perfect for anyone who wants to start selling items online.

Not only do you get the training for how to successfully make and sell products online, you also get all of the tools you need to make your website and have it live on the internet no matter your experience.

An example of this would be this website right here. I did not know anything about domain names and hosting before I joined WA but within a couple of days of joining, I had a website up and I was on my way to running my own business on the internet. It takes less than 10 minutes to set up, in fact 5 minutes would be stretch.

This website itself was up and running within 3 minutes after buying my domain name. Anyone can do it!

If you find that you cannot afford wealthy affiliate, then that is okay too because there are some places where you can create sites for free. One that springs to mind is weebly and with weebly all you really have to do is drag and drop elements on to a webpage. You can then buy your own domain name with weebly so you don’t have to use one of their subdomains.

One disadvantage with weebly is that you can only accept payments from PayPal and Google Checkout so there isn’t much flexibility. Another big disadvantage is that when making a site with weebly or any other free provider for that matter, you are at the mercy of these sites which means should they crack down on your sites your business may sink without a trace.

How are you going to accept Payments?

Another thing you may have to think about when you are looking to start selling items online is what payment methods are you going to use and what do you accept. I would certainly recommend you use to payment gateways in Moneybookers and PayPal.

You may already use PayPal for your business but one thing you may have to think about is not everyone has access to PayPal and some people are not happy with it anyway. I do not mean to downplay PayPal at all but there are some countries that have restrictions as far as PayPal is concerned and if you are only using PayPal to accept payments then you may be losing out on sales.

The one thing that I do like about Moneybookers is that they allow people to make payments from all over the world, even if that country is under a US embargo.

They also have some stringent controls and limits which mean that credit card fraud and other things are also less of a problem.

PayPal, maybe convenient but I would certainly recommend having a look at Moneybookers too.

Another plus about Moneybookers is it is a European company which is under regulation by the EU and the relevant authorities in the UK. The company has to follow some stringent conditions which means that they cannot just freeze your accounts and then take the money like what PayPal sometimes does.

The company has also been integrated with eBay making it easier to do business on Moneybookers.

It could be tough moving from PayPal but it makes sense to also use Moneybookers too since you could lose out on sales. Remember to read the fine print, terms and conditions
