Hello Everyone,

I want to personally wish everyone that reads this post a Happy New Year and I hope 2010 is even more prosperous for you than 2009.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!! I hope you have a wonderful day with your family and friends!

I wanted to post a thank you today, here in the states it is thanksgiving and this last year has been really fantastic and for that I am very grateful.

I am grateful to be able to grow as a marketer and share my new found ideas and tactics and it is neat to see so many people moving forward with their own dreams and goals.

For that I am very grateful.

What are you grateful for today this wonderful Thanksgiving Day ? I know many of my readers are from outside of the United States, so Thanksgiving is not a holiday for you, but I still feel everyone here should stop and think about everything you are grateful for!

I believe that the more you are thankful, the more you are appreciative, the more good will come your way. When you are thankful, you begin to feel better about your situation, you begin to enjoy life more. You start to focus more on the good things and less on the bad things in your life. It doesn’t mean that they automatically go away, but they start to become less of a priority, less stressful when you can feel gratitude for something else.

So take some time today and be thankful… write out a list to show your gratitude and then study that list everyday. While studying the list, feel the gratitude. I know from first hand experience that just doing this can help us feel better, to lift our spirits up in your everyday life.

And, if you already feel pretty good… make a list anyway… yes, you can feel even better at the end of the day…

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Best Wishes,
Sam England

P.S. For those of you in the states today the bird will roast and tomorrow you will have plenty of thanksgiving left overs.

Here is a killer recipe…a recipe to use up those delicious turkey leftovers.

Simply trade out the “chicken” for your turkey and you will have a yummy homemade turkey noodle soup.

Introducing The 2nd Annual Warrior Forum Event

Dear Fellow Internet Marketer,

Mark These Days On Your Calendar
Oct. 16, 17, 18 2009

There’s a big event this coming weekend in Raleigh, NC that I’ll be attending and would love for you and your friends to join me if you can–and I’ve snagged you a very special rate!

The event is the Warrior Forum 2nd Annual Internet Marketing Event and it features some top-notch speakers from around the world and great topics, including:

Willie Crawford - How To Make A Killing With Joint Ventures

Niche Professor Dr. Ron Capps On Niche Marketing

Tim Castleman : Offline Marketing There’s Gold In Small Businesses

Wendy Weiss - How to Use the Phone To Explode Your Sales!

Chuck Hester - Using Social Media to Pay It Forward

Mary Wilhite - Turning Passion Into Profits

And more!

There should be a lot of good info and good networking. And…
NO, you don’t need to be a member of the Warrior Forum
YES, there’ll be stuff for both newbies and more advanced IMers

Plus, ALL net proceeds from the event goes to The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption , which works to find families for children in foster care and has been a long-time supporter of the Children’s Home Society of North Carolina.

There’s more info here at www.WarriorEvent2009.com but DON’T sign-up there. I’ve arranged for a special deal where you can attend the whole event for a $97 donation.

Basically, I’m helping out with promotion for the event and know they really want to get more folks there–because the bigger we can make this, the more likely the Triangle area will be able to attract more international Internet marketing events in the future. (Wouldn’t it be great to NOT have to always schlep to Atlanta or the west coast?!)

It’s where like-minded people go to feed off each other. Deals are made. Products are sold back and forth. Ideas shared and refined… and tailor made to specific situations.

And the joint ventures - oh the joint ventures!

How do you find friendly drop shipping companies and suppliers?

Direct contact:
You can contact wholesale suppliers directly who produce and stock products of interest and inquire about a drop shipping partnership with them; you should be a little cautious, especially if the company hasn’t been involved in these kinds of partnerships before. Try to find companies that already have a good foundation in the industry. Although I have taken chances on a few unknown/new companies that just started drop shipping at the right time and have made killer money selling there products before anyone else found out about them. My own little gems I call them…

Search engines:
The other way to go is to hit your favorite search engine and search on the terms:
“drop shipping” + product of interest
or
dropshipping + product of interest
or
“drop ship” + product of interest
or
“dropship” + product of interest
Ensure you encapsulate in quotes where indicated above to ensure the results you get are the most relevant search results.

Dropship resources directory:
(I personally have never used any of them as I prefer to go around the middle man and go straight to the source)
If you’re based in the USA, you can try Doba - they are eBay certified, list over 1.0 million products and add about five new wholesale suppliers and companies every week to their massive directory. Doba is currently running a free trial membership, so you can take a good look around the service without spending a cent.
If you’re based outside the USA, you could give OneSource a try. They give you access to lists of over 1,000,000 products from over 220 different categories in their directory. Like Doba, OneSource lists the *real* wholesale drop shippers, not retail companies or middlemen with links to wholesalers - it’s definitely worthwhile checking out.

Hello Everyone,
Let me start by hoping everyone has a fantastic weekend and enjoys it by relaxing and spending time with family and friends.

I will get started here by telling you that the products that you plan to sell will need to be carefully researched, selected and marketed.
By considering a number of important key points, it will be possible for you to achieve a steady and continual income for your new online business.

1. The products that you choose will be the defining factor whether your online business will succeed or fail.
No matter how cheaply you may be able to source items, you will need to be sure that there will be enough demand for you to receive a steady flow of customer and orders.
The Drop Shipping process does provide you with scope for experimentation in this area.
For example, you will not be left with a box of dancing Snowmen and Reindeer’s sitting in your garage in January.
However, you will still incur marketing, advertising and storage costs for each of your unsold products.
By finding an untapped niche market for a product is always invaluable, but you must always be confident of your sales stategies.

2. Once you have determined that a product has sufficient demand, you should next ensure that it has enough of a profit margin.
This is the difference between your sales price and your purchase cost, minus your additional costs of advertising and marketing.
The first challenge is to find good value products from a number of US Drop Ship companies or manufactures.
A wise retailer will realize that the foundations for a good profit margin are laid when you buy at the right price and can sell with a decent profit margin.

3. With great value, high demand products sourced from a reliable supplier, your next decision is to choose the best method of selling. The two main opportunities for making sales on the internet are from your own online store or from auction sites such as Auction.com and ebay. These are two very different mediums and need to be approached in different ways.

4. Once you have decided where you will sell your products, you will need to concentrate on setting your prices.
You will find that your selling price may need to vary depending on where you plan to sell.
Your price must at least cover the cost of your purchase plus marketing and advertising costs.
For example, these could be the cost of web hosting or auction listing fees.
You then have the crucial decision of how much profit margin to add on top. This will depend on multiple factors, such as levels of demand and competition.
Always keep in mind that raising your sales price will increase your profit margin, but this needs to be finely balanced with the loss of potential sales through over pricing.
Remember, the most important point is to make sales, and profit margins of only a few dollars is common.

To Your Success,
Sam England
