EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIAN ENTREPRENEURS

June 22nd, 2010 Monica No comments

It is high time out entrepreneurs realize the importance of being choosy in project identification. Till recently, we in India kept on exploring the possibilities of manufacturing almost everything, right from pins to planes and screws to sub-marines. Just as companies and individuals carry out SWOT analysis for identifying business opportunities for our entrepreneurs. The completing demands for our limited and meager resources are many and unless we apply a degree of selectivity in our approach in resource allocation, we will continue to be a nation of foundation stones. Given below are a few areas where we can think of concentrating more.

Tourism and Hospitality

India is a country of many countries. Our diverse culture, religions, languages, rich heritage and vast geographical area make the country a place of tourist attraction. Hills and beaches, temples and palaces, the deserts and the jungles are all these. There are not many countries in the world where you can surf the sand and the sea. Privatization of airports and aviation sector could further give boost to tourism industry. Tourism should therefore receive topmost priority.

Auto Ancillaries

India may not be the best car-manufacturing base, but we can certainly be the best ancillaries to the automobile industry world over. Our entrepreneurs are capable to developing global scale auto ancillaries. By all means, we should also continue car manufacturing, but we must do it at a scale and quality at which the world community takes us seriously.

Two Wheelers

As a nation we have excelled in production of two wheelers – be they cycles, scooters or motorcycles. We have the technology, the skills, and most of all, the critical mass to affect a breakthrough. We should aim at capturing the world’s two-wheelers markets.

Garments

India has the potential of becoming a leading supplier of garments, apparels, silk, hosiery and textiles. Indian textiles are well known world over. Our Ludhiana and Tirupur entrepreneurs have done proud to the country in the area of woolen and cotton industry. By understanding customer needs through extensive and systematic market research we can capture more markets world over.

Software

India has already made a strong dent in world’s software market. For us the most natural thing is to be number one software and consultancy services suppliers. Our country has the right resources in the form of vast population of educated youth. Other developed and developing countries with vast resources can perhaps continue making advances in manufacturing of computers, computer hardware and computer chips year after year. Software exports from India are growing more than 50 per cent per annum.

Light and Medium Engineering Industry

Many countries of the world are far ahead of India in manufacturing aircraft, ship and products of similar nature. Unfortunately, we in India try to manufacture everything and finally end up doing nothing well. Our strength lies in the light and medium engineering industry. We are in a position to provide a leading edge in this industry. India also has the capability of becoming world’s best foundry products maker. We should concentrate more areas where we have an edge rather than thinly spreading our limited resources and expertize in areas like manufacture of aircraft and flexible machine systems.

Trading/Supplies

Among India’s vast population there are communities like Marwaris, Punjabis, Gujaratis, Tamilians, etc., with acumen for trading and acting as suppliers. It is, therefore, logical on part of such communities to become global players in trading and operate at international levels. By doing so we will be doing something that we are good at.

Education and Training

India has some of the world’s best universities and educational institutes, i.e., JNU, IIMS, IITS, IISc, etc. The cost of education and training in India is nominal in comparison to developed countries. There is vast reservoir of talented people in the country. By pooling resources and networking with resource organizations we can create education and training facilities not only for Indians but also for scholars from abroad. Indian educational institutions, both government and privately managed, have the capacity and expertise to offer affordable education to persons from other countries.

Poultry

India holds lot of potential for developing its poultry and poultry – based industries. A vast population and export potential make this industry a lucrative activity for those who want to be in poultry allied industry.

Food Processing

India has emerged as one of the topmost food producing countries in the world. Indian climate is suitable for growing vast varieties of food grain. At present, most of the food grain is sold in raw form. In food habits the world over is undergoing change. As a matter of convenience, people, especially youngsters, prefer fast food or ready to eat food. Indian food is well known world over. We need to exploit this potential by processing our food grains. Processed food will have good market in India as well as abroad. Food processing would also help us earn must-needed foreign exchange.

Fruit and Vegetable Processing

Fruit and vegetables are grown in plenty in India. The country has emerged as a leading producer of fruit and vegetables. Because of poor transportation facilities, inefficient infrastructure, bumper crops and lack of marketing facilities, many a time, lots of vegetables and fruit simply go waste. We need to create fruit and vegetable processing facilities all over the country so as to harness the potential for their production. Fruit and vegetable processing offers potential for high value addition and potential entrepreneurs can earn a lot from such products. By processing of fruit and vegetables, our producers will get proper price for their products, entrepreneurs will have good business opportunities, masses will get employment and export of processed fruit and vegetables will increase. While processing fruit and vegetables, our entrepreneurs need to take all possible care so as to ensure quality and standard of their products.

Manufacture of Business Attires

Manufacture of business attires, especially for Indian women, is going to be a rewarding business in days to come. Women’s participation in white-collar jobs is on the increase. With the influx of multinational companies in India, workplace outlook and environment are improving. Well managed companies, whether MNCs or of Indian origin, expect their employees to look smart and dress well. Some of the organizations also prescribe a dress code. Increasing presence of women in various workplaces has given a boost to business attire market. Till recently, business attires, especially for women used to originate from developed countries and women used to pay hefty price for such dresses. The growing business attire market offers good business opportunities in this sector. Our potential entrepreneurs can think of getting into this business both for Indian and overseas clients.

Corporate Gifting

Corporate gifting has picked up in India in the recent years. Indian companies and business organizations spend crores of rupees on giving gifts to their employees, shareholders and business associates on occasions like Diwali, New Year and Annual General Meetings. As per rough estimates, corporate India spends approximately Rs.1000 crore every year on corporate gifting and the culture is on the rise. Potential entrepreneurs, especially those good in public relations, can easily get into such business. Other associated businesses in this line could be manufacture of greeting cards (Diwali, New Year, Christmas, Valentine day, Birthday, etc.) for various occasions.

Herbal Medicines and Skincare Products

India has the distinction of growing vast variety of herbs. Indian population of more than a billion ensures a sufficiently large market for herbal medicines and skincare products. People, world over, in general and in developed countries, in particular, are becoming increasingly aware of after-effects of allopathic medicines and synthetic skincare products. Women, in particular, are slowly switching over from synthetic skincare products to herbal-based products. India has an established tradition of growing and using variety of herbs. We need to go in for commercialization of herbal-based medicines and skincare products in a big way.

Mineral Water

Even though mineral water manufacturing was started in India during the 1960s, but the market did not pick up till 1985. During late 1980s and 1990s mineral water market in India increased by an impressive rate of 30-40 per cent annum. Market for mineral water in India is spreading very fast. People are becoming health conscious. We are going to enter in an era when potable bottled water would find place in almost all general stores and it will become an unavoidable expenditure for people at large. Statistics reveal that size of Indian Mineral water market during 1999 was of the order of approximately Rs.800 crore. Many small-scale entrepreneurs can find business opportunities in this fast growing market.

Paints, Enamels and Varnishes

India is presently experiencing an automobile revolution. Standard of living of the sizeable Indian middle class is also improving at a rapid pace. Both these trends indicate an increasing market for paints, enamels and varnishing. Industrial and household use of these products is quite promising and much better than many other products. Manufacture of these products in small-scale sector should therefore need to be considered as a viable business proposition.

Organic Farming

The concept of organic farming is of very recent origin in India, Many developed countries grow food organically. Health conscious persons prefer organically grown food. In India also, people are becoming increasingly health conscious. They are well aware of after effects of food and vegetables, which are grown by making excessive use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides. Some companies and individual farmers have started organic farming in India. To ensure better health for our people we need to promote organic farming in a big way. Our potential entrepreneurs with interest in agricultural related activities would perhaps find good business opportunities in this area.

Music and Entertainment

Music and entertainment are required the world over. With a large number of channels in operation and a revolution in satellite technology the music and entertainment industry has thrown open numerous opportunities. Potential entrepreneurs should grab opportunities in the fast developing music and entertainment industry.

Writing Instruments

Literacy rate in India is slowly improving. Some of the conventional writing and learning materials are fast becoming obsolete. Also because of economies of scale and cheap labor availability, we as a nation are in a position to manufacture writing instruments at affordable prices. Now with access to better technologies and huge Indian and overseas markets, our entrepreneurs have an opportunity to exploit this market.

Plastics

Per capita consumption of plastics in India is hardly 2-5 per cent of per capita consumption in developed countries like the US. Use of plastics in India, both in Industries and households, is going to pick up in coming years. In spite of ill effects of use of plastics, it is rather impossible to manage without it. The Indian plastic market is presently experiencing a growth rate of more than 10 per cent per annum. It provides scope for setting up small-scale plastic processing enterprises for manufacture of variety of plastic products.

Toys

Toy manufacturing (especially stuffed toys) is a low technology based less capital intensive and highly labor intensive industry. Superstores abroad usually source toys from China, Korea and Hong Kong. Consumption of toys in India and abroad is increasing. In India, the toy market grew 10-12 per cent per annum during the late 1990s. It is estimated to touch an annual growth rate of 15 per cent soon. India has potential to manufacture cost effective toys largely for Indian market and also for world toy market. If China and Korea can do it why cannot we? Our entrepreneurs need to consider toy manufacturing as a rewarding business.

Floriculture

Indian flowers are becoming increasingly popular in the world market. Flower market, especially exports, is becoming favorable to Indian florists. Improvements in infrastructure and transport facilities would further brighten the prospects of Indian flowers abroad. At the same time, florists need to concentrate on domestic flower market as well.

Health-care Sector

India’s population to hospital bed ratio is a very poor compared to World Health Organization’s standards. (India’s population to hospital bed ratio is 1300: 1 against the WHO recommended ratio of 250: 1). With the funds receding in government kitty, private sector will be required to play major role in the health-care sector. Health-care, both in corporatized sector (Organized sector) and also in informal sector, has potential for high growth in India.

Biotechnology

It is believed that early twenty-first century will belong to biotechnology and software in India. In India biotechnology has just started picking up. Application of biotechnology especially in the areas of agriculture, horticulture, sericulture, poultry, dairy and production of fruit and vegetables will pay an important role in future. We should go for commercial application of biotechnology in various sectors of economy wherever it is found feasible. Biotechnology would therefore throw open many opportunities for entrepreneurs in future.

Information Technology (IT) Enabled Services

Business to Business Portal Solution (B2BPS) Services would be needed in a big way to address the emerging needs of IT enabled services sector. IT enabled services is a US$ 180 billion business. The sector includes services like GIS digitization, medical and legal transcription, medical billion, and insurance claim processing and archival and indexing of records. All these, and many more services, could be provided by Indian entrepreneurs. The pool of smaller service providers from India can meet the needs of outsourcing from US, and other developed countries.

The InfoTech industry is the fastest growing sector in India. Indian IT industry is of the size of US $5 billion at present and it is slated to grow to 20 times its current size of $100 billion by 2010. Prof. Michael Dertouzos, Director, Computer Science Laboratory at MIT (USA), visited India in February 2000 in connection with IT Asia 2000 conference. He was highly impressed by number of English literate people in India and spread of IT enabled services. He said that India can funnel a majority of new $3 trillion business opportunity being generated in the area of IT-enabled services – outsourcing basic white collar office work – by harnessing its 50 million English literate populations. Mr. Dertouzos feels that after call centres and medical transcription, a new business opportunity of outsourcing office work – accounting, legal, finance, marketing, claim forms – to developing countries is gaining popularity and Indian stands a good chance, right away, to grab a major share of this business. “Office work is estimated to be around $3 trillion annually and can fetch a decent $20,000 per annum to individuals in this business.

Education Portals

Application of information technology to education sector has started revolutionizing the process of education in the country. MNCs and Indian Internet companies have started setting up education portals in the country. In days to come professional education like management, medicines, engineering, law etc., would be taught by making extensive use of internet. Under the new innovative and emerging concept students would study and learn educational courses both at school and college level online, i.e., through internet. Some companies have already set up their web-sites, which offer various courses for school level students. IT-friendly potential entrepreneurs can look forward to getting franchise of major players in providing IT based educational courses.

Organized Retailing

As per industry estimates, total consumer spending in India is of the order of Rs.3, 80,000 crore. Current volume of organized retailing in India is about Rs.5, 000 crore. The organized retail industry business in India is expected to grow between 50-60 per cent each year during the next few years. Organized retail industry is likely to achieve sales volume of Rs.30,000 crore by 2005 and would move into smaller cities in India, given that there is beginning to be some comb lance of competition among organized retailers in the big cities. Retailing as a business, till recently, was confined to small-scale shopkeepers but now even large business houses have started considering it a potential opportunity. Venture capital and bank finance is also now available for prospective retailers. Experts in retail industry feel that retail business is truly globalization, and common patterns are emerging. Electronic retailing is yet another emerging area. Electronic retailing is happening more in business to business space than in the business to consumer space.

Processing, Refrigeration and Transportation of Food, Vegetables and Fruits

India has long suffered the lack of a comprehensive cold chain. A large Purdon of agricultural and other products produced in the country perish due to the lack of a serviceable refrigerated storage and distribution network. A detailed study conducted by the government on the agricultural and food industry has revealed that one-third of the products are ruined due to the lack of adequate storage and preservation facilities. Meat, poultry, fresh produce and dairy can only be distributed within limited geography and need to be consumed in a short period. Also, sensitive medical requisition like vaccine and pharmaceuticals are suffering due to the lack of refrigerated distribution. This state of affairs needs to be changed. Food and other precious resources in our country must be preserved at all costs. The refrigeration industry would be required to come through providing a wide range of industrial and commercial refrigeration services that can serve the entire gamut of cold storage and refrigerated transport to retail display and preservation units.

Cruising Business

The cruising business is gradually picking up in India. The Rich and the Famous has led to immense popularity of cruises in last four years (1996-1999) with numbers increasing to 15,000 in 1999 from practically zero in 1996. The business of cruising represents enjoying the luxury of dining in fine restaurants, casinos, excursions to golden beaches and exotic islands. The perception of Indians about cruising business is changing. People no more consider cruising as meant for elderly and retirees alone. The concept of a cruise holiday is becoming immensely popular in India. The number of Indians holidaying on cruising trips in increasing due to enhanced awareness through better marketing and advertising by our operators, fatter pay packets, and a growing tendency to splurge.

To site an example of what kind of services cruises offer, Mr. Gautam Chadha, Chief Executive Officer of Discover the World Marketing (this company owns two famous cruise lines, Royal Caribbean Cruises and Celebrity Cruises) said P “You will never, ever be bored. You simply find a corner on ship’s library, relax in a deck chair or lounge on private veranda. For fun loving people, ships organize various activities such as flower arrangements, art auctions, cabarets, casino – Las Vegas style, guest singers, live bands, and the like”. He expects a growth rate of 25-30 per cent per annum in cruising business. At present, India does not represent even a fraction of the total world market for cruises. There are more than four million passengers onboard various cruise lines worldwide every year, he added. Recently developments in cruising business clearly indicate good opportunities in this sector.

Courier Services

E-commerce related business is poised for exponential growth in the early 21st century. Expansion of E-commerce in India and world over has given a boost to courier business. Recent increase in share prices of leading courier companies (1400 per cent increase in share price of Elbee Services in just six months and 400 per cent increase in share price of Blue Dart) is a clear indication of growth potential of courier related businesses. The logic is very simple. The service industry is expected to grow in leaps and bounds in the near future for the simple reason that physical delivery of goods will be primarily handled by courier services companies. Corporate in Net business will not be in a position to support a massive network of distribution, whose job in future will be reduced to just delivering the goods manufactured from the manufacturer’s doorsteps to the consumers. Besides maintaining a large network of distributors is expensive when even the big wigs in the industry are cutting costs. Due to these difficulties courier companies with an elaborate network would have enough business to transact. Their network is going to be particularly beneficial to Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies who, at present, depend on a network of sales persons to make their product reach the retail levels. If recent trends serve any indication, courier services, both in organized and unorganized sectors ensure a promising future.

Summer Solution Related Business Opportunities

Summer and power cuts are synonymous in India. Gone are the days when standby solutions to power cuts in the form of ‘Hat and Pankha’, ‘Khas ki Chik’, ‘Surahi’, etc. used to be kept handy. With the advent of technology solutions to frequent power cuts are immense. And for the times when power is regular life can be bliss with a variety of cooling devices in the form of high tech air conditioner and coolers. With latest state of the art technology being imbibed in these gadgets, healthy air and healthy food are a de rigueur in today’s AC and refrigerators. Silent invertors and one-pull generators are another lot becoming an essential buys for almost every household. Depending on the demand a variety of invertors and generators can be manufactured by small-scale entrepreneurs. Servo voltage stabilizers online UPS, line interactive UPS, automatic voltage stabilizers, constant voltage transformers, manual voltage regulators, isolation transformers, high voltage regulators, high voltage break down testers, electronic air conditioner protectors, spike suppressors and busters are the other products related to summer solutions which can easily be manufactured in small scale units.

When Auto Sales Sail

June 21st, 2010 Monica No comments

Back in the day when a person needed a new car, he would peruse the classified ads in the paper and maybe mosey down to the local dealership to kick a few tires. My, how times have changed. Today, the same car buyer needs to only turn on his computer, and in a matter of minutes he has a fat selection of Buicks, Toyotas, and BMWs at his disposal. Online car sales have created a unique business opportunity for the average Joe in love with four-wheeled transportation.
When the internet began, many saw it as a way for fast communication. Little did we know how much it would change our world. Today a motorcycle sells every 18 minutes on the popular auction site eBay. An SUV will go every 30 minutes through the same site. Millions of dollars worth of metal and engine parts exchange hands virtually every single day, and those who love cars are understanding the possibilities of this unique business opportunity. They purchase a car locally, assess its value, maybe tune it up a bit, and then turn to the world as their buyer.
Several sites exist that allow a car owner to sell besides eBay. Specific sites just for cars allow millions of internet users to peruse a lot of thousands. Additionally, brand-specific sites will narrow the choices for the purists that love a specific kind of car. German made, Japanese made, and American made-it doesn’t matter as a site exists for nearly any kind of car. And as a result, those with Grandma’s Studebaker sitting in the garage no longer have to sign because the neighbors do not understand its true monetary value. They will find the perfect buyer and thus can turn more than a marginal profit.
This unique business opportunity has the potential to allow a car love to combine his passion with a genuine job. If gets good at it, he will eventually find himself a way to earn some extra cash. He can attend estate auctions or even purchase vehicles from local dealers and then sell them online for a profit.
Obviously this kind of opportunity does not work for those with only a few dollars to invest. It requires some significant finances because cars do not come cheap, but those who love cars and can afford the investment will quickly find themselves sucked into the world of online automobile sales.
In the end, the internet offers a much broader market than we could ever imagine. It also offers more risks. Those engaging in this activity must make their deals cautiously. They should check out the websites they are using and investigate what type of money transactions they do and do not allow. Money orders and PayPal often are the most reliable forms of payment. With this kind of money exchanging hands, a seller should exercise caution.
Thus we can see that those who love cars can find a unique business opportunity in online car sales. If they have the cash needed to finance their operation, they will soon find themselves engaging in conversations with people across the country, and they may even find a new car that they love so much they will not let it go.

Antique classic cars

June 20th, 2010 Monica No comments

There are several examples of classic cars in America, some of the most popular are:

Ford Mustang, Dodge Charger. Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Chevelle, BMW 3 Series, Bentley Turbo R, and Volkswagen Beetle.

Classis cars captivate people from all ages; they are somehow part of the 20th Century history. Car shows and exhibitions are held throughout the world where classic cars enthusiasts reunite to exhibit their jewels.

When built, cars are not meant to be a classic, time and people are the two key factors when deciding what becomes a classic and what does not. American culture has given classic cars a new meaning. Restorations worth tens of thousands of dollars and paint jobs that resemble a brand new car, and chromed engines, are just part of the investment that classic cars enthusiasts perform to maintain their jewels flawless.

One famous classic car collector is NBC’s former star on ‘The tonight show’ Jay Leno. He does not only collect classic cars, but also classic motorcycles. His cars range from the early 1900’s to modern masterpieces.

Classic car auctions take place al over the United States, these auctions are the perfect place to find rare pieces as well as bargains; television broadcasts take place from time to time, representative of the love and admiration that the American society has given to the classic cars move.

Owning a classic car in not cheap, for starters, classic cars need a lot of maintenance, the cars should always be kept clean and away from direct sunlight to avoid damages in the paint job, tires for classic cars are always a details that should not go unattended, and some sets of tires can cost up to $5,000.00 USD. Transportation to car shows is also expensive whether if it is via air or ground.

One of the most important pieces of the car and most of the times, the most expensive, is the engine. When we talk about classic cars and engines, you better take your check book with you, not every engine can be placed in every car, moreover, the engine that will be placed in a classic car must be chromed and have state-of-the-art components, and that costs money. That is why you will often find celebrities whose hobby is collecting classic cars, and who could blame them? They have the money to do it!

Classic cars are here to stay, so next time you see one of these jewels down the street, stop and admire the fine piece of art and the culture on wheels. In case you want to check more about this topic, try to visit www.antique-classiccars.com

 

Recreational Vehicle Salvage

June 18th, 2010 Monica No comments

Salvaging a recreational vehicle, or an RV, is more than a hobby or a goal. Salvaging a recreational vehicle is an adventure. The key to salvaging a recreational vehicle is the vision. The vision keeps a craftsman going through the ups and downs and the varying costs.

Adventure before cost Before embarking on the adventure that is salvaging a recreational vehicle, the builder needs to consider the costs, and weigh those costs against the benefits. In doing so, I think most dedicated recreational vehicle builders will find the cost is nothing compared to the fun of having an adventure vehicle to carry them wherever they want to go.

Just a quick note: check your state salvage requirements before purchasing a salvageable recreational vehicle. Some states have different requirements that add steps to the process. A missed step can make it hard to get state approval for the vehicle later.

Parts for recreational vehicles can be hard to come by as there are fewer on the road. Additionally, recreational vehicles are bulky and expensive without factoring in their rarity. That’s why salvaging a recreational vehicle and building with purchased parts is the best option. The best choice for salvaging is an online salvage auction at Auto Bid Master.

Once the cost is considered, a builder should imagine the benefits of salvaging a recreational vehicle. The journeys across the country or across large states like Texas make the thought exhilarating. The comfort of traveling at your own will with no worry about hotels or stopping is an ease few ever experience. They say motorcycles offer ultimate freedom, but they haven’t asked a recreational vehicle owner.

Pieces of the Puzzle The first physical step in salvaging a recreational vehicle is picking the RV itself. The selection starts with phone book listing and Internet sites for junkyards and salvage yards. From there, a person must find a vehicle that is worth being salvaged. Many will not be, but a good recreational vehicle is worth salvaging. Also check for recreational vehicle listings in newspapers to locate sellers. Finding a direct seller wanting to get a vehicle off their hands can be essential to getting the best price.

Best Fits for the Budget Internet auction sites offer databases of cheap, quality parts that cannot be matched. Rather than having to settle for inferior parts within a certain region, the Internet opens the opportunity to parts across the country. The greater the option, the closer a builder gets to their vision, their dream recreational vehicle. On such a large investment, being choosey is essential. Having more to choose from means better chances for better choices. No place offers more and better choices than Auto Bid Master.

Before embarking on the adventure of salvaging a recreational vehicle, get yourself a trusted friend and a seasoned veteran of automobile mechanics. Journeys are best taken with trusted, skilled partners who can show an amateur what to look for and which path to take.

Bans Review ? Build a Niche Store Review

June 17th, 2010 Monica No comments

So What Is BANS?

BANS stands for build a niche store and is a software script that allows you to make money off ebay as an ebay affiliate.

It has certainly been one of my favourite tools to build niche web stores online. The reason being it is very easy to use and you never have to worry about content on your website since it pulls feeds from ebay auctions constantly. That means you also don’t need to worry about contantly updating new content for your website.

Ebay recently transitioned to their own in house affiliate program and BANS has made the necessary code adjustments. Since ebay sells just about anything under the sun from baby strollers to cars and motorcycles, you can build almost unlimited niches with your websites.

Since everyone online knows about ebay and knows there are cheap items for sell on ebay, it is very sell for buyers to click through on your ebay auction listings and buy on ebay.

There is a 30 day tracking cookie for ebay so visitors you refer can often return days later and buy something off ebay and you still get the commission. Another weird thing I noticed with the ebay affiliate program is that visitors you refer to ebay may not necessarily buy what you are recommending.

For example, if you refer visitors from your baby strollers BANS site to ebay, I noticed some visitors actually purchased other unrelated stuff such as laptops, an air purifier etc. I think it is ok though since I get commission on those purchases as well.

If the visitor you referred from your BANS website is new to ebay, you can also get paid if he/she sign up as a new user and bids on an item. The amount will depend on the ebay quality score, a new rule set by ebay.

There are a variety of templates to choose from in BANS and there is also an active members forums where you can ask questions and even get others to help you for a fee. It isn’t terribly difficult to setup BANS since the layout, content and navigation are point and click.

If you have an existing content website, then BANS can be a complement to your website. You can attach a BANS store to your website and recommend items to your visitors.

It’s a win win situation since your visitors can find cheap deals on ebay and you earn commission as well.

BANS provides another form of monetization for your website other than Google adsense and I have to say it pays better as well.

Selling to Make Money Online With 5 Easy Methods

June 16th, 2010 Monica No comments

At a time when people are struggling to make ends meet selling to make money online offers many a possible solution. The problem is that so many people are also trying to make money this way that competition is fierce and when you are competing with thousands, even hundreds of thousands of other sellers profit margins are going to be squeezed.

Therefore to be successful selling to make money you need to make sure you have a great product that people need and want. You will need to market it to as many potential customers as possible and provide genuine value to them in order to encourage repeat custom.

If this all sound familiar that’s because I’m talking about Internet marketing. Selling to make money online can not be separated from Internet marketing. If the world wide web is your shop window then you need to understand how to make your products stand out in that window, and that means learning how to market.

You need to learn how to research markets; keyword optimisation; product sourcing and development; promotional and selling strategies. All of these are part of the Internet marketers toolbox and every successful marketer can work from home selling to make money. So if you are serious about selling to make money you also need to be serious about learning some effective Internet marketing strategies. Get it right and the rewards can be considerable. Giving up the day job could be a real possibility.

Assuming you have an understanding of marketing what are the best 5 ways of selling to make money on the Internet:

1. Selling digital products through your own website.

2. Selling on auction sites like eBay.

3. Selling affiliate products.

4. Selling through an online store.

5. Selling your own products through other peoples websites.

Before we continue it should be pointed out that this is not intended to be an exhaustive list and that, whilst you can use these ways of selling to make money on there own, it is probably worth considering using most, if not all of these techniques if you want to be successful.

1. Selling your own products through your own website: – If you know how to train a dog, wire a house, restore silver or host the perfect dinner party you’ve got a great chance of developing a top selling product. In fact whatever knowledge you posses that others would want to know can enable you to start selling to make money online. All you need to do is write down your ideas, explain your methods and develop your processes so that you can create an ebook about what you know. Similarly if you can create software products or applications, or have inside knowledge about something you can create a great digital product (providing that you don’t infringe any copyright or libel laws in doing so.)

If you want to start selling to make money then digital products sold from a content rich website can really get the ball rolling. You don’t even need to be a skilled writer or software developer. Providing your idea is a marketable one there are plenty of ghostwriters and software developers out there who will be willing to deal with you to make a top quality product.

The big advantage of selling digital product is that once you’ve funded product development (and this need not be too expensive) your reproduction and delivery costs are practically zero so your profit margin will be good (providing you’ve got customers.)

2. Selling On Auction Sites: – Ask most people what they would think of selling to make money online and they will probably think of an auction site, particularly eBay. Selling on auction sites has an immediate advantage as you are more or less guaranteed access to a high volume of customers. However, so large and diverse are sites like eBay that you will still need to have a well planned marketing strategy to succeed. Furthermore the listing fees and postage are extra costs that you need to factor in when your calculating your profit margins. However there are many people who are so successful at selling to make money through auction sites that they have completely abandoned all other methods.

Apart from effective marketing the most important aspect selling to make money on the auction sites is to either produce your resalable goods or source them for the lowest possible cost (whilst maintaining quality.) For example if you sell hand painted figurines look at continually shop around for better deals on raw materials or consider outsourcing some of you tasks in order to reduce costs.

Similarly if you have a specific product line, such as DVD players or motorcycle accessories, then seek out the best wholesalers or dropshippers. Be wary though as there are many services that purport to offer directory lists of quality wholesalers and dropshippers for a fee. Many of these are simply information freely available to all with a little research and the worst are lists of dead links and bankrupt suppliers.

Nonetheless there are some wholesale lists that can prove very useful if you are interested in selling to make money online. The best solution is to read the reviews and select a reputable directory provider.

3. Selling affiliate products: – Selling to make money with your own product can be advantageous and is a valuable part of most successful online entrepreneurs businesses. However selling other peoples product can be just as lucrative and can have advantages over selling your own. For example you don’t have to concern yourself with product development, storage and distribution as this is the responsibility of the vendor.

Many products available over the Internet, whether they are digital or physical, offer so called ‘affiliate programs’. If you sign up to an affiliate program, and are accepted, you can advertise that product on your website, blog or landing page and will receive an agreed commission if someone buys that product via your link (in fact some even pay out for a simple ‘lead’ rather than a sale). Selling to make money this way is relatively simple to set up and the better affiliate programs will provide you with plenty of support and advice.

You can find affiliate programs in a number of different ways including research via the search engines and directories but one of the best ways is to search the affiliate networks such as ‘Commission Junction’ or ‘Linkshare’.

Again, you need to use your common sense and should carefully select the affiliate products you wish to promote. It is certainly better to start with the affiliate networks if you are new to affiliate marketing as they check the products they list for quality and legitimacy. Even though you need to keep your wits about you ‘affiliate programs’ still represent a very good way to start selling to make money on line

4. Selling through an online store: – One of the most direct ways of selling to make money is to set up your own online store. This can sell your own or your affiliate digital and physical products. There are a number of pre designed ‘storefront’ solutions and ‘turnkey’ websites that you can use to quickly set up your store.

One of the advantages of this kind of selling to make money is that any body visiting a ‘store’ is already looking to buy. In other words your visitors are already presold on some if not all the products you have to offer. Again, this is extremely reliant upon your marketing strategy, but those who are successful at this kind of direct sales technique are amongst the highest earners on the Internet.

However, competition with such websites (and that’s exactly what an online store is) is extremely fierce and dominated by some absolute giants such as Play.com or Amazon. Therefore you ability to spot a profitable niche would never be more important than when using this way of selling to make money.

5. Selling your own products through other peoples websites: – Here is one of the best and highest earning potential ways of selling to make money on the Internet. Whilst affiliate marketing of other peoples products is a great way to start your career as an online entrepreneur one of the best ways to break through into the real top league is to offer an affiliate program. By combining you ability to create a great niche product with your best marketing techniques you can offer your prospective affiliate partners a high commission percentage and still make a fantastic income.

Imagine having hundreds or even thousands of affiliates marketing your products on your behalf. Even if you only make $20.00 per sale that’s soon going to amount into a considerable income. However you still need to have a clear marketing strategy. It’s no use having an army of affiliates driving traffic to your product if you don’t convert to a sale. Your affiliates won’t get their commission and will soon lose confidence, pull out of your affiliate program and your profits will dwindle.

It is therefore absolutely essential that the product you offer is of genuine quality and offers the customer real value for money. You can not hope to do well selling to make money this way if your product is sub standard or cheap. Customer loyalty is key for all Internet marketers.

In the same way that there are many ways to find affiliate programs there are also many ways to find affiliates to promote your products . However the most effective way is to sign up as a producer for an affiliate network such as ClickBank. This will give your product great exposure to affiliate marketers who are interested in selling to make money.

Conclusion. As previously said all of these techniques offer the possibility for you to make money online either on their own or in combination. However no matter which strategy you choose an understanding of market research and promotion will be essential for you to make the most of these opportunities. So good luck, learn as much as you can, apply what you learn and start selling to make money.
