Their are a lot of websites who will try and sell you the idea that  having your own web site, and drop shipping yourself to riches is an easy thing to do. We disagree, it is no where near easy. It is time consuming, and it takes from you dedication, a willingness to learn, and work hard. I personally think that if you don’t have at least 3 of the four things I just mentioned then forget about it it’s not right for you. I have told several people that through the yrs, and just wanted to stress it again here.  You can always go to the next website who is going to tell you all of the things you want to hear, and throw your money away if you want to, but just know that’s what you will be doing. Their is nothing easy about drop shipping, and that is one of the first things that a consumer should think about,  if you go to a site, and they make this seem like an automated set it and forget it type process, I will guarantee you it’s a scam.

DEDICATION:  I have a member that’s been with us for about a yr and a half, and she had been taken for a ride by another company that I am not gonna mention right now(that’s another story, but I bet you can guess who it was.) Anyway her husband was going to be laid off, and they knew it so we helped them to get their site built, and to find drop shippers. Their site was finished on a Friday afternoon at about 2pm they had owned a similar site in the past so they had a bit of knowledge on how to operate the site, but we always do a walk through after the site is finished to show them how to use it, and help with any questions that someone may have. I did the walk through of the site with them, and they had their suppliers already set up so all they had to do was add their products, and put in their seo tags, and they would be off to the races.

The next Monday I came in to the office with an email to look at their site, I thought something must be wrong with their site, but to my surprise their was nothing wrong these 2 had spent the entire weekend adding products, and not just 50, or 100 products, but 4000 products.  FYI It takes my guy 3 days to add about 400 products. I immediately called to find out their secret, (and to see if they wanted a job adding products to sites for me Ha ha) Well come to find out the couple did not add all of the products themselves, but what they did was they called all of their children, and grand children to come over, they all brought their laptops, and went at it. They worked on their site daily, fine tuned it, and today I can proudly say they make about 1000.00 a week. They never gave up, and used some other creative methods to draw in traffic, and turn that traffic into sales.

TIME: How long does it take for my site to get on the 1st page? When will I start making sales?

Those are a few of the daily questions we receive, and here is my answer. The only person that knows what Google will do is Google, I have seen sites get put on the 1st page after a week, and I have seen it take a yr no one knows but if you follow our seo guides you will get there eventually. As far as sales go, the more people that come to your site, the more sales you will get, so your main focus should be your seo, and marketing that’s it. 100s of people have asked me” what should I sell ?” My answer has always been what ever you want to sell, your products don’t make you the money the seo does.

Their are billions of people online shopping daily, and it does not matter if your selling a box of rocks, as long as you have 1000s of people looking for rocks coming to your site to buy it you will make a sale. On the other hand, you could sell brand new computers on your website for 1.00 and never make a sale if you don’t have people coming to your website.

WILLINGNESS TO LEARN : Ok so this is not rocket science, and it’s not hard to learn this stuff, but it does take a week or two of reading to get a common knowledge of things . One questions we normally get is what is the difference in a drop shipping wholesaler , and a distributor, or manufacturer? We have a few great articles on that in the PSU, as well as one of the best seo/ e-commerce forums their are online, and a full time telephone support team to help our members as well for free. A standard membership to the PSU is 62.00, and we have no extra fees for support, or nothing like that.

You can be successful in this industry, but we want you to understand that E commerce is not any type of overnight, automated, solution.  Our members are successful only because of their dedication, and hardwork. Our job is to be a support system, to provide suppliers, and to build sites. We are not responsible for their success only they are.
