If Spam Vigilantes Break Out of Cyberspace...

Written by David Leonhardt


The following is based on a true story. Any resemblance to what is today happening onrepparttar Internet is, sadly, a figment of my own personal experience.

I found myself returning torepparttar 108882 office at 9:50 p.m. I walked to my office door. I placedrepparttar 108883 key inrepparttar 108884 keyhole. It would not turn. After several tries, I peeked throughrepparttar 108885 blinds.

Everything was gone! My furniture. My computer. My files. Even my family photos.

I called my landlord. "Holdrepparttar 108886 line a moment," he said. "Aha, here'srepparttar 108887 problem. We are just moving your office to a new floor. It should be another hour."

"What?!" I cried. "You're moving me without even letting me know? What about my business? I automatically process orders from aroundrepparttar 108888 world 24 hours a day."

I felt sick. I went home to get some sleep.

I was up at 5:30 a.m. After tamingrepparttar 108889 growling beasts in my stomach, I rushed to work.

No office. I checked every floor. It was still missing in action. By 10:00 a.m., I was able to reach my landlord.

"Yes, we've moved it to another floor. It usually takes a day to get everything set up. It should be ready for you sometime later today."

"But it's MY business," I protested.

"Check back later."

When I got home, a message from my landlord was waiting for me: "The agent you spoke with was not aware that your office has been sanctioned for junk mail abuse. Please email our abuse department for further details."

I dialed immediately.

"Hello, billing department."

"Is thisrepparttar 108890 abuse department?" I asked.

"Let me check your file." After a few minutes, Billing Lady returned. "It seems our courier provider told us to shut you down for sending junk mail."

"But I don't send junk mail," I protested.

"I am sure you did."

'What Is Drop Shipping? The Perfect Solution' by Palyn Peterson

Drop shipping one ofrepparttar greatest business innovations since products. Seriously, don't laugh! I'm not joking! With what other service can you use another company's products, their warehouse, their shipping department, and have them provide you with allrepparttar 108881 information you need? Do you see what I mean now?

Every entrepreneur who is looking forrepparttar 108882 most efficient way to sell products overrepparttar 108883 internet should be very enthusiastic about drop shipping. It finally allows you to sell nearly anything you want, be it computer equipment, toasters, billiard tables, even planter pots, all without having any inventory. And do you know what zero inventory means? It means less risk! The only time you ever buy any products fromrepparttar 108884 wholesaler is when you have already sold it to a customer! Andrepparttar 108885 best thing is (or should I say, another best thing),repparttar 108886 wholesaler packages it up and ships it out torepparttar 108887 customer for you, and usually your business name is onrepparttar 108888 box! As far asrepparttar 108889 customer knows, you have a warehouse full of products.

When you sign up with a wholesaler, they will most likely ask you for your tax license number, or a faxed/emailed copy of it to prove you are a legitimate business. If they don't ask you for this, they are either a very small wholesale company with a specific niche of products and just want to makerepparttar 108890 process easy for their clients, or they are not a real wholesaler at all.

If you ever come across a "wholesale" company that carries tons of items, ranging from Barbie's to hair dryers, and they say that you don't need to have a tax license to deal with them, then be very skeptical, because 99 to 1, they aren't a wholesale company at all.

That sort of company will just take your order only to turn around and order it fromrepparttar 108891 real wholesale company at a much lower cost than you paid for it (and they did have to get a tax license to do this). It doesn't stop there either. Since you bought it at a higher price, you will need to pass this on to your customers by marking it up higher than you need to. And if you ever needed or wanted to, you would have less margin when lowering your prices to match or beat your competitors. And your competitors would probably have a tax license, so they would be dealing with legitimate wholesalers.
