Worldwide Brands
Many people tend to think that internet marketing is all about selling information on the internet. In fact the internet should be considered as nothing more than a tool to provide information and if this information enables you to sell stuff…great.
GENUINE WHOLESALE ONLY!
The thing is though it can and also should be used to sell stuff in the real world rather than just the virtual one.
Whether you sell on eBay or from your online store, physical products are still very much in demand and many of us wannabe internet market forget this.
Well I’ve just been listening to a couple of CD’s featuring Chris Malta of Worldwide Brands fame, with a view to start dropshipping. I was actually quite surprised at how many scams there were out there on the subject, particularly on eBay. In fact it is really difficult to find genuine wholesalers at all. Most are purely middle men claiming to be wholesalers, who obviously take a cut before you get the goods. This of course drastically reduces your profits.
Looking into it further it seems that genuine wholesalers do not advertise their services online because they don’t want to attract the small time business opportunity seeker. They of course want the big boys who buy thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of products at a time.
However back in 2004 Chris Malta set up the Dropship Source Directory at www.worldwidebrands.com which enabled the smaller trader to find genuine wholesale suppliers and dropshippers, even for those who only do small volumes in sales.
It was obviously a godsend for many marketers and the directory has gone from strength to strength.
As it took off it has now evolved into the Onesource Directory and is now widely considered to be the largest and most genuine list of true wholesalers available. And it’s updated daily.
For a one time fee there are over 3,000,000 million products and over 9,000 suppliers to choose from plus you get access to product research tools that are second to none (see my review here for more detailed information).
It seems that anyone who wants to seriously consider dropshipping then as usual should be advised to do proper research and not just go to eBay. It seems that there is no better tool than the Onesource directory for this. You can take a free tour here:-
