Salehoo Review

Filed under eBay Business

Salehoo has recently become one of the most popular wholesale supply resources around. They built up from nothing all because of one reason, Ebay entrepreneurs. One of the most important facets of building a successful Ebay business is to have a cheap reliable wholesaler to use to supply your customers with quality items day in day out.

I’m going to try and keep this review of Sale hoo as unbiased as possible so as to give you the best information possible to make a decision on whether or not you would like to join their membership.

The Purpose of Salehoo

One of the more difficult things to do when starting a business which involves selling items which you yourself do not produce, is to find a supplier who will do it for you.

So let’s say you’ve found a product that you’re sure people are willing to pay good money for and you have a way of reaching the market, the next step is to find someone who will produce the product on a large scale so you can build a successful, long-term business.

Pro’s

Salehoo provides their members with over 5000 suppliers of almost every type of product you can think of. The one thing that stuck out for me when I first signed up was the enormous scale of potential suppliers I had at my fingertips.

I tend to stick to a business model involving dropshipping as I don’t liketo do any of the shipping work that goes into more mainstream wholesaling, so I was glad to see that most suppliers offered dropshipping.

Second the quality of the products members have access to selling is rediculous. It kind of felt like I was in a huge shopping mall, but instead of buying anything, I was actually the seller. Sorry if that was a little hard to understand ;-)
The last thing that stood out with Sale hoo was and is still the fact they’re constantly updating their database with new wholesalers and suppliers. For me personally, I’m always going into different markets and testing out different products to sell so it’s pretty vital I have access to EVERYTHING available to sell on Ebay and through my other online stores.

There’s more pro’s then that for sure but these were the ones that stood out and I didn’t want to sound too biased towards Salehoo, so I’ll move onto the con’s…

Con’s

I guess the only real con is that Salehoo has become one of the most popular places to go for suppliers and wholesalers so most of the products being sold throughout their database are currently being used by a lot of people.

It’s not a big deal and basically if you’re not constantly searching for new products to sell without much competition you’re not going to get very far in this business. I’d suggest do what I do and check out the new wholesalers who come into the Salehoo database and find out what they’re selling. You never know they might have something noone else is selling but lots of people are buying(that’s what you should be looking for always!)

I’m just trying to think of another con, but really there’s not many to tell you about. This is something you have to pay for and therefore it’s gotta be good. If you’re serious about your business and you need to find one or many good wholesalers and you haven’t found any good one’s yet, I’d probably say give it a go and see if you can find some. There is a 56 day guarantee so if you don’t happen to get anything out of your membership then you can always refund.

My experience so far has been really good so far with Salehoo. For me the membership fee of $67 is a small price to pay to have a whole army of suppliers at my fingertips. My suggestion, sum up where you are currently in your business and if you think having access to a bunch of great suppliers is the next step, give it a go and see what happens.

OK I hope that wasn’t too one-sided, if and when I find something I’m really unhappy with, I’ll write it up.

A Great Way To Make Money With eBay

Filed under eBay Business

A New Way To Make Money With eBay

When you hear “eBay” and “money” in the same sentence your probably think of becoming an eBay seller.

You place product listings in the eBay marketplace, buyers bid, you pay your eBay seller fees and what you have left is your profit margin.

There is, however, another way to build a business which still revolves around eBay but which doesn’t involve you selling a single thing in the eBay marketplace.

This “other way” opportunity is based on the eBay affiliate program and a great tool which makes entry into this opportunity not only possible but also super easy. This tool is called “Build A Niche Store“.

Now if you don’t know – an affiliate program enables you as an individual internet entrepreneur to promote the products of a company in exchange for a commission on all sales that you refer.

You are basically operating as an internet middleman and connecting internet browsers to particular products and companies through you own network of websites and marketing methods.

If we return to the eBay affiliate program, eBay actually invites you to promote all of the product listings in the eBay marketplace and in exchange for your efforts will pay you up to 75% of the revenue they make from each sale you refer plus up to $35 for each new active eBay member you refer.

You can have a read about the eBay.com affiliate program here

What this means is that you can earn up to three quarters of eBay’s revenue simply for connecting people to the products listed in the eBay marketplace.

Not only do you get to partner with the best branded marketplace in the world, you also get access to and control over ALL of the products listed in this marketplace. The eBay product inventory becomes YOUR product inventory and yet you do NOT have to stock items, deal with customers, organize shipping or process refunds.

You are no longer limited to selling only those products which you can buy and sell for a profit margin. You can choose ANY niche market and promote those eBay products relevant to your chosen niche outside of the eBay marketplace, funnelling targeted traffic through to eBay and into your own affiliate commissions.

Golf clubs, sewing kits, laptops, dog collars, diamond rings, Florida real estate…

If you know eBay you know how BIG it is – there are NO limits.

At this point you might be thinking - well this sounds interesting but in reality is there any money in it? Well, here’s the shocker – eBay’s top affiliates make over 1 million dollars a month. That’s right – 8 figures a year without stocking, selling or shipping a single thing!

Now eBay does provide some basic free tools to help you succeed as an eBay affiliate and build an affiliate business BUT it has been the development of a tool outside of eBay that has really opened this up as a legitimate business opportunity.

The tool, as I mentioned earlier, is called “Build A Niche Store” and what it enables you to do is build eBay affiliate websites targeted to any eBay niche you want. These act as the medium through which you funnel targeted visitors to eBay.

Here are a couple of examples, one targeting Race Cars and the other Golf Equipment:

Race Car eBay Affiliate Website
Golf eBay Affiliate Website

As you can see, these are professional looking websites that contain all of those eBay products related to their target niche inside a searchable store format, each of which automatically contains your eBay affiliate id.

These stores then automatically update as new products are listed for sale and old listing expire from the eBay marketplace and the software has built in development features which enable you to create new store pages, add content to these pages, create content pages, modify your template etc etc.

Basically, in the space of about 10 minutes (once you are familiar with how the software works) you can create a fully functional eBay affiliate website targeted to the niche market of your choice.

Your store content is all search engine friendly which will provide the foundation for attracting targeted traffic from the search engines and you can then use the development features to attract more targeted visitors which will in turn mean more eBay affiliate commissions.

It really is a brilliant concept and I’ve been hearing great things about the guys behind the project and the member forum which you get lifetime access to when you purchase the product.

Build A Niche Store comes with a step by step user manual which will walk even the most technically inexperienced through setting up their eBay affiliate website, 9 professional template layouts which can be customized (from inside your admin panel) to match your target niche, lifetime member forum access, comprehensive product support and possibly most importantly – an UNLIMITED domain license which means you can build as many of these niche websites as you want for the small one time fee.

Think about how many niches eBay caters to!

How big could your eBay affiliate business be?!

This product gets my full recommendation – check it out today…
