-
GetYerStuffHere.com
will place advertising all over the Internet proclaiming to be
the greatest source that ever existed for all kinds of great
products, and they’ll drop ship all those products to your
customer.
-
You’ll
get all excited because YOU can actually place everything from
Sony electronics to Coleman Camping gear on your web site and
sell it.
-
GetYerStuffHere.com
will charge you an account
setup fee, to cover their “processing”. (Note:
REAL Wholesale Suppliers almost NEVER charge you an account
setup fee).
-
GetYerStuffHere.com
will send you a nice, shiny list of products and show you where
to get the product images and descriptions to place on your web
site.
-
You’ll
get all excited, and put all this great stuff on your site, set
your prices so that you can make a profit over what
GetYerStuffHere.com.
-
You’ll
launch your site, and you hardly sell a thing.
Huh?
What happened? Nobody’s buying! You can’t survive on just a
few orders a month!
Disappointed
and discouraged, you start to go out and check other web sites that
carry the same products. Maybe they have better images. Maybe they
have cooler descriptions. Maybe their pages look nicer. You find
that it’s none of those things. So what DO you find?
The
other sites’ PRICES are lower. A LOT lower.
You
just got nailed by one of the most popular scams on the Internet.
GetYerStuffHere.com
took you for a couple of hundred dollars in exchange for a CD full
of product images. They may have even locked you into a contract
where you have to pay them every month to be a “member” of their
“distributorship”.
Oh,
GetYerStuffHere.com DOES ship the products they claim to. Of course
they do. It’s just that when they get an order from you, they turn
around and place your order with the REAL Wholesale Supplier, and
take a profit. By the time YOUR price is calculated, you’re paying
not only wholesale, you’re paying GetYerStuffHere.com’s extra
markup of anywhere from 10% to 30%.
In
order for YOU to make a profit, you naturally have to mark up the
prices you get from GetYerStuffHere.com. By the time you do that,
you can’t compete on the ‘Net. Your prices are just too high.
At
this point, you can do one of two things:
-
You
can lower your prices to the point where you’re making mere
pennies on your products in order to compete.
-
You
can bypass these jokers and go to the REAL sources.
I’ve
been in Systems Engineering for 19 years. I’ve been involved in
ECommerce since it began. In that time, I’ve seen this scenario
played out over and over with companies I’ve done work for.
The
real sources can be hard to find. They don’t market themselves as
Internet Wholesale Supplier. They are established wholesale
companies who have been supplying big chains like Sears and Kmart
for a very long time.
Many
of them are now realizing that a good part of their future lies in
Internet sales, and they are establishing drop ship and light bulk
wholesale programs. There are even a few big name
manufacturers who are beginning to supply Home-based Internet
Businesses right from their factories. That’s where YOU
need to be. In direct contact with the actual Wholesale Supplier
or factory source.
When
you’re looking for a drop shipper, here are a couple of things to
be careful of:
-
Any
company that tells you that they’ll set up your entire web
site AND PROVIDE THE PRODUCTS FOR YOU will NOT
make you rich. They’ll make THEMSELVES rich on your
setup and hosting fees, and you’ll piddle along with thousands
of other small sites all selling exactly the same things at the
same prices.
(NOTE:
Don’t confuse this with companies who just offer to set up your
ECommerce web site. There are a lot of great places out there that
will build and host sites for you. It’s when they tell you that
you HAVE to sell the products that THEY provide that you should run
for cover.)
-
Any
distributor who wants you to pay a “membership” or
“setup” fee is probably not a true Wholesale Supplier.
-
If
it sounds too good to be true, it’s too good to be true.

"I just want to say THANK YOU! OneSource is amazing.
I purchased several other directories this week - before I was
fortunate enough to stumble upon your site - and without
exception, all of them have turned out to be scams.
After reading through the information on your web site, I
decided to purchase OneSource
Of course, having been misled several times this week, I was a
little nervous.
Not to worry. I was thrilled when I accessed the site for the
first time. There was much smiling and squealing involved.
I am extremely impressed; it is every bit as fabulous as you
claim.
Thanks again."
Sincerely,
Kristin Frederking
