So how did I manage to make money by using worldwide brands

Selecting to use worldwidebrands and their onesource drop ship directory? By selling drop shipping product even living 6000 Miles away? ….

EASY….

I signed up with WorldWide Brands back in August 2004.

I registered a domain name called neatgizmos.com back in August 2004 for just $20. I then used my reseller hosting account (email me if you want to know what a reseller account is) to host the domain name. I then setup 3 email addresses. The usual sales@ Richard@ blah blah blah. It willbecome clear how this relates to worldwide brands below.

You might be wondering what this ” neat gizmos ” website is all about …well it sells toys for grown up lads. Dont worry it is NOT adult toys, rather gimicky toys.

I located the supplier from the worldwide brands drop shipping database.

It only took me around half an hour to browse through world wide brands List of drop shipping suppliers to select a drop shipper that I thought had Some unique products which could sell well on ebay. The gimicky toy company offered dozens of products to sell and they were based in England, the UK. The great thing about their products they are very unique and consequently there is very little competition.

Due to the exchange rate of the UK pound to US green back I knew their products would not sell in the US. Since they would have to be priced very high.

Now here is a secret marketing spin that I used…Instead, I decided to test them by selling on Ebay ONLY to the UK. The advantage.. I would benefit by the 3 x 1 exchange rate with my local currency of the New Zealand dollar.

Note - world wide brands have a lot of product suppliers listed that drop ship Products and are suitable for selling on ebay. Chris Malta who is the founder Of World Wide Brands has a strong link with selling on ebay. So what exactly were the products? - they were fancy dress items. Two really good sellers were the inflatable sumo and ballerina suits. They look really daggy too! Check out the photo of them below:

I was making around 15 pounds per item. So that was around NZ$45 dollars profit. Not bad eh for something I did not have to stock. Now you might be thinking that you have to live in another country with a poor currency conversion to get the benefit of using worldwide brands drop shipping database. This simply is not true. World wide brands have an extensive listing of drop shipping suppliers that will drop ship all over the world. There is a tonne of products with huge margins that you can use to profit.

One important point I had to keep an eye on the drop shipper having plenty of items in stock before I ran the auction. There is always a risk that your drop shipping supplier can run out of stock just before your auction ends.

If this situation does arise (thankfully it has never happened to me) it would be very embarassing to the winning bidder. Always try and keep in touch with your drop shipper stock levels. My service with this drop shipper was absolutly superb. I can only add the praise to worldwide brands for their strict selection policy when selecting wholesale suppliers to be added to their onesource directory.

My first project that I explained above using a drop shipping supplier just goes to prove that you do not have to spend alot of dollars or to even handle any product to setup a viable business venture.

You can even be on the other side of the world in another time zone and still provide outstanding products and service to your customers. But the key to my success for being successful with drop shipping is to have the backing of reliable and credible drop shipping suppliers. Thank fully worldwide brands hold true to their name. World Wide Brands do supply alot of products OVER 9 million to be exact! What ever you do make sure you visit them today
