Best Way to Sell Cell Phones Online
Today I thought I’d write about a business opportunity that I’ve been watching closely but haven’t mentioned to anyone before. I have a feeling it will be one of the biggest moneymakers online of all times, considering how popular cell phones are and how many more are projected to be sold in the coming years.
With the launch of the iPhone a couple of years back we saw an unprecedented amount of online phone sales. We’re talking about a very large percentage, more than half even, were sold online, for the first time ever.
Sure, it can be argued that Apple fans were more tech-savvy than the average consumer, and that iPhones are a little ahead of the online phone sales curve. That’s one of the reasons that I think this is such an up-and-coming idea that hasn’t peaked yet.
Another is simply that when people shop for technology, anything from a DVD player to a blender, they need to compare features first and know what they are shopping for. Right? Don’t you compare any such products online before buying? Sure you do, it’s almost impossible not to these days.
So obviously, getting a chunk of those big, fat cell phone sales old online would a great business model, that will only get greater and more lucrative in the coming years and possibly decades.
That leaves you with a couple problems; Where to get the phones (without paying for inventory) and how to put up a great website to sell them from and market it well online.
SaleHoo has my highest recommendation to this end. This is the very best dropshipping community online that reviews it millions of merchants for you to ensure you’re not getting scammed. They can even help you easily put the products you choose into a 1st class storefront online and show you how to effectively market it!
I’ve already checked for you and they have a huge section on cell phones that they can dropship for you, from old favorite models to all the latest & greatest models from many different countries. From Apple to Zune, if it can be used as a phone and doesn’t require a land-line, they got it.
In case you’re not familiar with dropshipping as a business model, you’re in for a treat. All you have to do is set up the website and get traffic to it. Sometimes you don’t even need a website and can market products in other places like forums and blogs and so forth, however you feel most comfortable.
Whenever you refer a client to make a sale, the product is sent directly from the supplier to the customer, and you are sent your cut of the profits automatically… Nothing could be simpler, really. No inventory, no hassles with customer service or anything like that… Just talk about the product you like online, then get paid.
Some of you may ask what the difference between dropshipping and affiliating is. They are pretty similar, but it mainly has to do with the fact that dropshipped products are physical, and need to be shipped. Affiliate marketers simply refer a client to another website to get a set commission, but dropshippers refer to a sale, or more commonly sell the product from their own site to make their commission.
And naturally, you make more money from a sale than from a referral fee. In fact, you get to set the sales price yourself if you run a website store, and keep the difference between your sales price and the supplier’s wholesale price.
SaleHoo can set all that up for you. They have their own software to help you put up a cellphone comparison site (or any other product comparison site) with a storefront on it and you get to run it however you see fit, the master of your own work at home business.
