The Key to Greater eBay Profits

Chris Malta's 4 Critical Rules for Wholesale Product Sourcing 

• Rule #1: Don't buy "Complete Internet Stores" that come pre-loaded with products to sell. The reason why is that you won't be able to get enough profit margin to make it worthwhile. You simply end up being a low-commissioned sales person for someone else's business.
• Rule #2: Not all wholesale suppliers are willing to work with small, home-based internet business owners. Believe it or not, some suppliers don't want to work with online businesses. They like working with traditional 'bricks and mortar' companies. They just don't get the internet. You need to know this going in or you'll simply be wasting your time. We screen every single source in our database to make sure they are willing and able to work with you.
  
  Other suppliers will work with you if you have $50,000 or $100,000 to pony up for the initial supply of goods. This simply isn't practical for most people. That's why we list companies that are willing to dropship items to individual customers or deliver to you in low quantities (known as light-bulk). This allows you to test products with little to no risk and then roll out on a large scale once you find a winner.
• Rule #3: Don't work with middleman. This is one of the top scams I see in the wholesale sourcing market.
  
  Here's how it works:
  
  The middleman goes and sets up an account with a real wholesaler and then builds a website advertising himself as the real wholesaler. This is a lie!
  
  He's not the real wholesaler, he's simply there to charge you an extra markup on the products you buy to sell to your customers. Once you submit an order to him, he simply emails the real wholesaler and has the products delivered to you or your customer.
  
  The manufacturer sells the product to a factory authorized wholesaler for $3.50. The wholesaler sells it to the middleman for $5.00. He sells it to you for $7.50. You sell it to your customer for $10.00.
  
  Why is this so bad?
  
  Because you won't be able to compete with your competitors who deal directly with the wholesaler. You see, it should work like this...
  
  The manufacturer sells the product to a factory authorized wholesaler for $3.50. The wholesaler sells it to you for $5.00. You sell it to your for $7.50.
  
  This will allow you to compete with your competitors and not pay a steep 'middleman fee' that automatically prices you out of the marketplace.
• Rule #4: The search engines are a horrible place to find real wholesale suppliers.
  
  There are 2 major reasons why this is true. Reason #1 is that thousands of unethical middleman have littered the search engines with misleading marketing. You can do a search at any major search engine and you'll get bombarded with ads from middleman trying to line their pockets with your money. A real, honest to God wholesaler simply doesn't stand a chance against these slick marketers.
  
  Which leads me to the second reason using search engines to find wholesalers is a losing proposition. Reason #2: Real wholesalers don't really want to be noticed on the Search engines. I know it's hard to believe, but it makes sense when you look at it from wholesalers point of view. They have large accounts with major retailers and they don't consider small, home based businesses that important to their bottom line.
  
  Yes, they are willing to work with you if you do enough digging to find out who they are, but they are not advertising themselves online. You have to do the detective work to find them and then you have to qualify and screen them to make sure they will do business with you.
  
  It's a tedious process if you have to go at it alone. I'll show you how to get all of this work done for you and eliminate all of the headaches associated with it.
