'How I Shot Myself Inrepparttar Foot.. No, Wallet!' by Palyn Peterson

I need to let you in on some very important information. Not only will this information save you lots money, or possiblyrepparttar 108888 life of your entire business, but it will allow you to increase your profits through multiple businesses.

First off, operating an online store is a fabulous and lucrative pastime, so kudos on making that decision. But before getting intorepparttar 108889 thick of it, heed my warning, you do not want to make this same mistake: only maintain one distributor for each of your online stores. Two if you MUST.

I know what you might be thinking right now, "Butrepparttar 108890 more products I have,repparttar 108891 biggerrepparttar 108892 selection will be and I'll end up selling more -- therefore I'll be making more profit!" And that's exactly what I thought at one point, too. But unless you are charging sky-high prices or maintaining an inventory of your entire stock, then this thought is only half true.

It is true that you may end up selling more, butrepparttar 108893 reality ofrepparttar 108894 situation will quickly appear and you will be losing money with nearly every sale. And this is all centered around one simple, and easily glossed-over factor: shipping.

Let me tell you a true story. Many years ago for one of my businesses, I had this grand idea of creating a recreation room super store. So I found four distributors for billiard equipment and recreation room accessories, one for board games, one for pewter products and one for candles and other neat decoration items. It sure seemed like a good idea atrepparttar 108895 time; I would be able to sell people everything a person would want and need to setup a recreation room with one shopping cart. I could virtually feel my wallet getting fatter. Then reality hit when I sold my very first order.

2 Reasons Why The Gurus Won't Make You Rich!

Written by Gordon Bryan


The gurus.

Those lads and lasses that make a gazillion dollars a week online, and Will show you how you can too, if you pay them $47.

So here’s a question…

'If it's as easy asrepparttar 'gurus' make out, how come we're not all rich?'

Oooh, good question. There's a 2 part answer to this.

Firstly, if everyone copiesrepparttar 108887 step-by-step 'copy this exactly' model provided byrepparttar 108888 'guru', this will just result in a crowd scene of identical sites, all selling identical products.

Consequentlyrepparttar 108889 demand is diluted and divided amongstrepparttar 108890 identical sites, leaving them scrabbling around forrepparttar 108891 odd sale here and there.

Forrepparttar 108892 second part ofrepparttar 108893 answer, it's back to good ol' human nature, and here it is.

Hardly anyone follows throughrepparttar 108894 advice anyway!

For every 100 people that buyrepparttar 108895 plan, how many make a go of it do you reckon?

Two, probably, maybe three at a push.

The other 97/98? They weren't prepared to investrepparttar 108896 time, effort and personality involved, they wanted all that to be done for them.
