I have a new appreciation for those of you who work during the day and run your online business in the evenings or weekends. You see, I have jury duty this week and I have to put everything on hold until I find out if I’m picked for the jury this afternoon.
We have a lunch break and I’m in a coffee shop where I can get a little work done. I’m going to send some cool vacation cards and some follow up cards to our clients. If I have time, I’ll schedule some appointments, also.
Why do I mention this?
If you are limited with your time on some days, you MUST do 1 business building activity. What business building activity did you do today?
Before I left for jury selection, I sent an email to one of my Send Out Cards team members to schedule a business opportunity meeting. I won’t see cash in my bank account today from that email. But, when we have that meeting, I will see cash in my bank account and growth in my SOC team.
A little work on the RIGHT ACTIVITIES each day “will” grow your business to the next level. I guarantee it.

Make Amazing Profits Using Drop-Shipping
by Stephen Beck
Drop-shipping is the coolest internet concept you’ve never heard of. With drop-shipping, you have no inventory, no warehouse, and no stock cluttering up your home. Simply sell the products through your website, process the orders, and have the wholesaler ship it directly to your customer. It’s like having free products to sell online!
Think about that. No inventory and no shipping. You just take the order and someone else ships the product. Drop shipping has a few advantages over affiliate sites. Affiliate sites are where you recommend a product and then send your customer to that website via an affiliate link so that you get the credit and hopefully a commission.
But a lot can go wrong. The customer may not make it to that site. Also, you have no control over what that site looks like, or changes made to that site or how your customer will navigate around on that site. The biggest problem is the fact that you are not collecting the money to ensure you get paid!
Drop-shipping, on the other hand, saves you money, while letting you retain complete control over your own website. You have no shipping costs, no inventory to store or count. It’s as close as you can get to having free products to sell online! Just think of what you could sell using drop-shipping:
* Home based gift business drop shipping
* Gems and Jewelery-making Supplies Drop-Shipping
* Candle wholesaler/supplier drop-shipping
* Fabric, upholstery, and trim
* Cast iron banks
* Home security products home business drop shippers
That’s just a start – there are thousands of opportunities out there!
Although drop shipping sounds like the best thing since sliced bread, finding a wholesaler or a manufacturer to drop ship can be a challenge. Not all wholesalers want to mess with drop shipping and many on the internet who pose as wholesalers are not wholesalers at all…they are cleverly disguised “buying clubs” or “internet malls” designed to separate you from your money. They are drop ship sales scam artists and not dealers with wholesale products to sell.
So who can you trust? Chris Malta to the rescue! He operates the Drop-Ship Source Directory, a listing of reputable wholesalers who offer drop-shipping. His company of dedicated staff researches each new listing, ensuring that there are no scam artists. New information is added daily, and all new drop-shippers are carefully screened.
Not only do you get access to reputable companies, you can also sell over three million brand-name products on your website. Think of the possibilities – millions of amazing specialty items and products that can help you make amazing profits with your online business.
If you want to just dip your toe into an internet business, drop shipping is the way to go. Reduce the risk and increase your profits!
