Every day, we get emails here for customer service where a brand new entrepreneur is asking about datafeeds and integrations because they want to offer THOUSANDS of products in lots of different categories on their website. They dream of being the next AMAZON or WALMART.

It is so wonderful that you have these big, lofty dreams. I think everyone should have at least one goal and work on it. But, I’m sorry to tell you that you have already failed before you even started. You can’t accomplish this dream as a new beginner. Every large company has started small and built to where they are today. It’s about growth and progress.

Amazon was an online bookstore.Walmart was a very small general type store on a Main St. in a town in Arkansas. (You can still visit that store, it’s now a museum.)

If you even attempt to blow up to their level in just a few years, you are going to be stressed out, overworked, have spent A LOT of money and be not much further ahead than where you started or you most likely have quit already. (which typically happens)

The Importance of Picking a Niche

Amazon started as a bookstore in Jeff Bezos’s home garage, because at that time, he researched and found that books were in super high demand, he could get lots of different titles and the prices were low enough from his suppliers to make a good profit. That was then.

Now Jeff did something important, that other highly successful online entrepreneurs have done. STEP ONE: RESEARCH to find what was in DEMAND and that YOU CAN SELL online to make a PROFIT.

Sure, you can fiddle around and guess and try things and fail. But how about actually doing some legitimate research and learn how to do it right?

Working with A number of Dropshippers

calculate shipping costs, dropshippers, dropshipping, how to sell online, multiple dropshippers, Online Business Advice, using dropshippers, What's New |

Sometimes it may be necessary to work with multiple dropshippers for your store. Because just one might not have all that you need. So learning how to manage working with multiple dropshipping suppliers will greatly enhance your business. You can expand your product offerings and by that attract even more customers and that will increase your competitive edge.

But, if you don’t have solid organization and extra measures put into place for everything to run smoothly, you can end up with some added frustrations too.

Choose the Right Dropshippers

This is the most crucial part of selling any product online. If you don’t have good dropshipping suppliers in your corner, you are already setup for failure. Find the best dropshipping suppliers at WorldwideBrands.com. We have already taken each supplier through a verification process to ensure no middlemen, no scams and no fraud! Real wholesalers, real dropshipping, real wholesale prices.

Critical Things to Understand

Make sure that you fully understand how to get the product information from the supplier. Whether that is a datafeed, or you get the information from their catalog and you enter it manually. If the supplier has a lot of products, and it’s manual work, you may want to choose another supplier to work with. You will have to basically transcribe all that product information manually and then check it all manually. It will be too time consuming if you plan on working with multiple suppliers. To avoid confusion and turmoil, you must make sure to record all your events or transactions with technologies like Blockchain event api.

If it is a manual process and the supplier has just a few items you want to resell, then it could be worth the time and effort especially if it a product that will greatly enhance your product offerings.

Once you figure out how you get the data, then establish a process to check that product information at least once a day. Even if that simply means setting a calendar reminder or an alert to check for any updates and that everything is operating smoothly.

Second is the ordering process. How do you order? Some suppliers have an automated system, so they get notified when you get notified there is an order. Others you have to login and place the order and others you would email the order (or setup a rule that once you get a notification about the order, it auto notifies your supplier about that order too). Make sure that you and your supplier are on the same page about your ordering process. Even do a test order to make sure that everything is operating smoothly.

Third is the returns, exchanges and etc. Understand each of your suppliers policies about the products and each product page needs to have info about the returns or exchanges policy.

The Biggest Challenge with Multiple Dropshippers

The biggest hurdle that confuses most online retailers is shipping. How much do I charge for shipping?

You can do a whole bunch of calculations from various zip codes for each individual product dimensions, which is quite a daunting task! Or you can do something simple like.. a FLAT RATE of $9.95 shipping fee for anything and FREE SHIPPING for orders over $50.00. You will lose some money on some transactions due to shipping fees, and gain some money on others. So make sure to watch how it’s going and edit as you go.

So you may or may not lose money, but you definitely have a lot less headache and frustration trying to figure it out!

Make it Easy, Make it Easy… Don’t let…
May 14th, 2021by

Tisha Hedges

Every time I say ‘Make it Easy’, I always sing it to the tune of “Take It Easy” by the Eagles. Never Fails! Did I now plant it in your head? Good, now I’m not the only one!

Make it Easy, don’t let your website get diluted.

You have got to make it easy in your customers. You have less than a minute to impress them to get them to want to stay on your site. The easier you make it on your customer, the better chance they are to order.

So how do you do it?

Just Give Me a Kiss!

Keep It Simple, Silly. (I changed the last word, I dislike the original word) If you fuss up your site too much with music and dancing bears, this will make your site slower to load and simply distract your visitor or annoy them which would be even worse.

Tell it like it is up front. What your site is about and what you have to offer and how you can be contacted.

Make shopping super easy. The entire ordering process needs to be very simple and uncomplicated with just a few steps and accept multiple payment options.

Your customer needs to feel safe. So you need to stress the security and integrity of the site or provide payment options that they feel safe about; like PayPal, Apple Pay, Amazon Pay and etc.

Just make it as easy and you would want it to be. No fuss. Make it safe. Keep it simple.

Let’s Get Private

“Those who say, “it’s not personal, it’s just business” are lying. All business is personal, and the best business is very personal.” Rick Lenz

this must be the place

When you get personal on your website, it just works. Right from the onset as soon as the customer comes onto your site, they should immediately feel they are in the right space. They are where they need to be to find what they were looking for, or maybe that they didn’t know that they even needed.

Know Your Customer

Knowing who the customer is that you are targeting for your products will make this extremely easy. Like I mentioned in the “Stick to the Plan” article, you need to figure out the target customer and the end goal.

I want to help__(target market)________ do/find/achieve___(what does the product allow them to do)______ so that___(what is the end accomplishment)____Example: I want to help busy moms find relaxation so that they can care for themselves and their families better. Excerpt From “Stick to the plan” by Tisha Hedges

Tired Mom

So my target customer is busy moms. These poor moms are exhausted and are looking for effective ideas. They are primed to be sold on something. So how do we do that?

By getting personal of course! What does she want to see?

Creating My Website for My Customer

I want to create an ambiance in my store that is warm and inviting. I’m going to show examples of moms doing regular everyday type things. I want to talk to them about being tired and exhausted. I’m heavily promoting their own self care so they can take care of their families better.

I’m going to tug at her heart strings and make her realize that yes, I need this and it will be so beneficial to me and my family. And then I’m going to drive it home even more by showing them the results they will get after they use my relaxation products.

When I show the products, I’m going to weave and craft my words so that I’m talking directly to her and what this product can do for her. I’m going to make it so appealing that she can’t go on without it. I’m going to drive it home by showing how easy it is to use and show images of satisfied moms that are using the products.

We have just created a personalized website, targeting busy moms looking for ways to relax and take care of themselves.

You can’t do these things with datafeeds and integrations. Those are not personal. They are generalized and data driven. They are not geared for your target customer and do not create a unique personalized experience.

Get personal. You can’t run a successful business without it.

Keep on with the Plan

Stick to the Plan
April 23rd, 2021by

Tisha Hedges

So you have a great idea and online is the perfect place to start it? That’s great you are so inspired! But slow down…inspiration is only part of the equation. Before you dive all in and start buying things and get a hosting provider; create a plan, and then stick to the plan.

“There’s no reason to have Plan B because it distracts from Plan A.” Will Smith

Going Nowhere Fast

Have you ever heard that if you have no idea where you’re going, you’re guaranteed to get there? Adaptation from a Lewis Carroll quote. That means NOWHERE. You will end up nowhere if you don’t lay out a map for where you need to go. Create a plan, and then stick to the plan!

So sit down, take your shoes back off and think about and talk about exactly what it is that you want to do. Throw the ideas out there to family and friends, get feedback, refine it, go back to it and re-look at everything. That’s all part of the process.

Creating a Plan

There are things you need to consider when creating a plan for your new business.

Who do you want to reach? What is your target market?Find out as much as you can about the type of customers you want to bring to you, find out what they like and dislike, and most importantly, what do they need or want?What do you want to accomplish?After choosing your target market and figuring out what they need or want, then be super clear about your goals for your online business. Try this and fill in the blanks…I want to help__(target market)________ do/find/achieve___(what does the product allow them to do)______ so that___(what is the end accomplishment)____Example: I want to help busy moms find relaxation so that they can care for themselves and their families better. I’m sure you can guess what products I want to offer! Know your competitionFind your top competitors and study their websites. Find things that they are doing, that you can do better. How are they describing the products? How are the product images? Do they offer videos? What about social media? How often do they post? What kinds of things do they post? Do they have a newsletter?Gather as much intel as you can about them, and then figure out how TO DO IT BETTER. Map out your online storeBased on what you gathered about your competition, start mapping out what you want in your store. Look at templates and see if you can find a layout that you like. What are you going to call your pages? Where are you going to place your navigation? How do you want your product pages to look? How much space do you want to write descriptions and information about the product so that it is more appealing your TARGET AUDIENCE. Research products and learn about themHaving ideas for what you want to sell is AWESOME, but you also have to make sure to find a supplier for those types of products before you completely set your heart on selling that. For example, for my busy mom site for relaxation, I might have wanted to include massage chairs, but I can’t find a wholesale supplier that will work with me as an online retailer. So maybe I’ll find a supplier with hand massagers instead. Research, research and research! If you want to find quality products from real wholesale suppliers, look no further than the Worldwide Brands Directory of Wholesalers and Dropshipping Suppliers. All of the suppliers listed in the Directory will work online retailers!

That’s it! Now create a plan, and then stick to the plan. The important takeaway here is not to rush. Learn as much as you can before you dive in. With a business plan in place, with strategies you need to carry it out, and people and services to help you move it forward, you are more likely to stick to your business project.

Mindset is Every little thing

Nifty Nev
business advice, cause and effect, marketing advice, Online Business Advice, positive thinking, setting up for success, setup for success, successful attitude |

Happy Coffee!

I start my morning everyday anywhere between 4:30am to 5am. I drink coffee, quickly scroll through some social media and listen to personal development podcasts for about 30 minutes before I go ahead and dive into my work for the day. This puts me in an excellent positive mindset to tackle the day, and mindset is EVERYTHING.

Law of Cause and Effect

Law of Cause and Effect

The Law of Cause and Effect states that whatever you send into the universe comes back. Every cause has its effect; every effect, its cause. There’s no such thing as chance.

Ralph Waldo Emerson called this The Law of Laws. It’s powerful. You get back what you put out. It is like a boomerang. You throw it out and it comes back.

If you put a negative out, you will get a negative back. When you put a positive out you will get a positive back, maybe not straight away, but it will come.

Focus On the Positive

Positivity is Infectious!

No one likes negativity. In your personal life or from those around you. If you always put out negativity or an air or superiority, you will impact all those around you as well. Push out good vibes and positivity, and more people will gravitate towards you.

This is extremely helpful in not just your personal life, but it impacts your business life too. People want to work with positive people. No one wants to work with a grouch that is always putting a negative spin on things. “Oh, you won the lottery? Think of the taxes!”.. No thank you. I’ll be the one to say: “Oh my gosh! Congratulations! I’m so very happy for you!”. A quick example of a positive mindset!

Your Attitude Effects Your Success

We all know that it won’t be sunshine and roses everyday. But if you try and just put in the effort and start your day with something that puts you in a positive mindset, at least you are TRYING!

If you have a positive frame of mind, you can literally sell anything. If you plan ahead to be successful, you will be successful.

Set Yourself Up For Success

Believe in what you have to sell : Love your product so much that you energetically and passionately talk about it. If you are passionate about what you are selling, your enthusiasm for the product will radiate to your customers.

Make sure there is always sufficient inventory on hand. You never want to be caught short. If you are using a supplier that dropships, if something regularly runs low on stock, buy and stock some yourself. When you buy a case of the product, you can negotiate a lower price and earn more profit.

Computer Office Setup

Don’t skimp on your computer setup. In my world of online business, nothing ruins my day more than a computer that is slow or crashes or has insufficient storage or lacking program capabilities. Seriously makes me angry and just puts me in a sour mood. “I was busy working on that project! I was in the middle of writing a great article! Ugh! Did it save?”

If you are running an online business, have good online business equipment, and this means an excellent computer with good storage and will run fast. Don’t buy a cheap or used computer. I know that it may stretch your budget a little, but as you continue with your business, it will be a blessing and only help to keep your mood light & bright!
