Drop Shipping – One of The Best e-Biz Models

Have you ever thought of selling physical stuff online? Do you want to own a retail store to sell something so as to create a real brick-n-mortar business?

Now, if you want to be a retailer, traditionally, you need a retail store, hopefully with tons of human traffic (your potential buyers). But one of the major problems of owning a physical store is the rental which seriously erode your bottom line. Plus the many overheads such as bulk ordering of stocks, employee remuneration, utility bill, taxes and the list goes on. At the end of the day, you need large capital, which is the biggest stopper for most budding retailers.

You know what, there is a solution! There is no need to bulk order your stuff, no employee needed and the best of all, no need to ship the product when your clients made the purchases. Introducing Drop Shipping!

Drop shipping is one of the best e-business models. It allow you to sell tons of things. When your client purchased a product via your e-shop (or blogshop or eBay etc.) say at $100, you quickly buy the product (that your client ordered) from your drop shipper at a lower cost, for example $50 and even better, the drop shipper will ship the product to your client anywhere in the world on your behalf. See the profit? You earn a margin of $50. That is drop shipping. Pretty cool huh!

Okay, it seems like drop shipping is the holy grail to e-business. Not quite. The key lies in the quality of the drop shippers that you engage. And thanks to Worldwide Brands, this critical quality assurance hurdle has been removed. A video is worth a thousand words, check out the video below …

Bored What To Do

Are you feeling bored and not sure what to do? You’re not alone! Welcome to Bored What To Do – this is my first game site I’ve created out of boredom, to get boredom out.

Royalty Free Music For Video

I’m playing with Camtasia lately to record some how-to videos which I’ll be sharing with all of you here. For those who are not familiar with Camtasia, it is one of the best screen-recording software which produce excellent video clips, just like those you see on YouTube.

Well, there is one thing lack after I’ve done those video – a Flash introduction. Oops, Flash!? Unless, you’ve burned some brain cells to learn Flash, it may be difficult to produce a decent good Flash intro. Even if there is no Flash intro, at least there must be some audio or background music which enhance the quality of your video productions.

If you need some royalty free music for video productions, here’s an excellent resource – click here. Just note that although the music are free to use, if you do use them in your videos or websites, you’ll have to give credits to the creators. So go ahead and create some videos with simple music bang intro.

Simplicity Sells

I’ve recently bought a new mobile phone for my father, in replacement of the very small Philips phone which he don’t really know how to use it. He was also complaining he got problem pressing the ultra small keypad too. The new phone which I’ve bought for him is designed specifically for old folks (and children) with very practical simplicity :

The simplicity and practical usage of the phone really strike a chord in me and I like it very much that I don’t mind using it. Afterall, a phone is just a phone to me.

What I’m trying to imply here is that while many other are going for sophistication and technological advancement (or rather, complexity), it might just work if we go the opposite direction – simplicity.

The same simplicity concept can be applied to website too. A good website need not be really complicated. Just take a look at Google.com homepage design … simple (as compared to Yahoo!).

Hmmmm, is there a market designing websites for the elderly?
