The best thing is that your business ‘is flexible’ and it can grow and expand with you over time, based on the time you have available.

If you have seen youtube videos offering ‘get rich quick dropship schemes” or even purchased the courses on starting an online e-comm store, you’ll understand that operating a successful online store is not easy.

Most importantly we’ll show you our exact tested and proven systems for getting leads, converting them and generating repeat sales so you can increase your income using various platforms.

Having your own Online Business is flexible and your business can grow and expand with you over time.

If you are too busy to develope your own store, are not sure how to build it and get sales or simply want to outsource it, we can offer you the option

We will build your store, find the best suppliers, establish relationship with the suppliers, negioate the best prices, get samples for you, develop a marketing plan with budget estimates and sales projections, implemet the strategies using our ClientsNOW marketing strategies system, generate sales and provide weekly sales and progress reports

You can then take over the store when forecast sales benchmarks are met or you can simply continue hiring our services to manage your store.

When first starting out, we recommend dropship then shift to branded. Dropship models have tons of competition because of the easy entry point and you have no control of delivery times – especially of the suppliers is out of stock and you have just sold the products or if customers demand a refund

Once you know what products generate higher sales, you should carry an inventory of these products and brand them to your own name.

There are many benefits of branding your products including being able to expand your market reach into wholesaling your products, negotiate better cost prices, purchase bulk to receive the bulk discount, enjoy better profit margins and have full control over the delivery of the products.

With a branded model – that is where the products carry your own brand, you have benefits including higher profit margins, less competition, building your brand asset plus expanding your reach into the wholesale market

The amount of money that you make from your business, depends on you. Like any business ‘you get back what you put in’.

For Example. You sell an item on your site for $20. You enter the customer’s details in your wholesale account (a regular customer account) and pay the cost of the item eg $5, then the wholesaler sends the item direct to your customer with free shipping and tracking provided. $15 profit. The packaging is sent directly to your customer so contains no invoice, logo or pricing details. Margins vary from site to site, we have some high-profit margin sites which will net you over $100 per sale…but these tend to be lower sales volume sites…Alternatively, if you are stocking a product, you can negotiate bulk discount prices with the suppliers. The main advantage of stocking inventory is you can ship it the same day and this results in happy customers. Drop shipped items can take several days to get to the customers. There are pros and cons of each business model. Chat with us to discuss one that would suit your requirements.

We have some very successful store owners! Some store owners have added to their portfolio’s and now operate more than one website! We have store owners that have gone on to open retail stores and others that now have their own clothing label, product or brand.

We have one store owner who supplies (wholesale) Barbershops with his own branded products. The limits are endless!

Every business is unique, and another store owners earnings cannot be used to estimate the profits that you will make yourself.

Our online businesses are not structured like a franchise where every business is “exactly the same”, all selling “exactly the same products”, with “exactly the same suppliers”, using “exactly the same marketing and advertising” etc.

Beware of websites that are sold ‘pre-loaded’ with products as this would suggest an affiliate arrangement, where you are paid only a small commission for sales, or that the business selling you the website is being paid as an affiliate.

Affiliate marketing is not a profitable business model, in most circumstances.

You receive access to all of our suppliers and access to our entire suppliers network in your Website Instruction Package. It’s simply a matter of browsing the suppliers and choosing which products you would like to sell in your store.

Alternatively you can hire us to source suppliers and upload products.

Suppliers accept payment by BPay, Credit Card / Visa / Mastercard and also by Paypal. You can start placing orders with any of the suppliers straight away.

You do not require an ABN No. to purchase a website, or to order from Drop Shipping Suppliers. However, we do recommend that you get one, as it’s free and you can apply online at any time. It gives your customers confidence to see that you have an ABN No. when they purchase from your store. Some Wholesale Suppliers may require that you have an ABN No.
