For whatever reasons, you might not be all that excited about selling information products online. Perhaps you want to be able to see, touch, and feel a real world product. Once again – okay. The obvious advantage to internet marketing information products is there are no shipping costs. Everything is digitally delivered. We’re big fans of this business model but there’s no doubt that lots of people have made (and are still making) boatloads of money selling actual products.
The “big secret” is locating a cheap source for your product.
What may be the biggest secret in the internet marketing world is a little website called Alibaba.com. If you want to sell cheaply made Chinese knock-offs at exorbitantly marked up prices, this is the place for you. Alibaba is a clearing house of Chinese manufacturers eager to sell at wholesale prices to American businesses. Need sunglasses in bulk for twenty cents each? How about an endless supply of fashionable bikinis for $2 apiece?
You get the idea. If you need a source for product, chances are you’ll find it at Alibaba. It’s one of the highest-trafficked websites in the world, and it can give your home-based business a serious kick in the pants. We still suggest you use all the internet marketing tricks you can find because, due to the world wide web, there has never been a better time in history to start your own business. Since many manufacturers listed on Alibaba allow small bulk purchases, the cost to stock your new “store” can literally be less than $100.
Sound good? We thought so.
