Dropshipping; Tips To Begin Selling Online
                               By Khairul Afzan Aziz
                              Founder of Somore.net
                               First Malaysia E-Dropshipper



                            What is Dropshipping?


Dropshipping is A real Wholesale Dropship supplier who will send products directly
to your customers for you, one product at a time, from their warehouse.


You pay a wholesale price for the products, one at a time, and charge your customer
your retail price. The difference between those price is your profit. You never
have to touch the product, or spend money to fill your house up with products that
you might not sell. The Wholesale Dropshipper does that for you.


To avoid any chance of delivery problems when using dropshipping by ordering 1 or
2 of your hottest selling items from the wholesaler. This will serve as a backup in the
event the Wholesaler is out of stock on those items. Not only will you always have a
backup for your ordering customers, you will also be able to experience what your
customers are experiencing when they get an order delivered to them.


Using Dropshippers allow you to sell brand new, brand name products and etc to
your customers without paying for those products before you sell them. Keep in mind
using Dropshipping costs you a little more, because the Dropshipper does a lot of the
work for you and has to charge you a slightly higher wholesale price. It’s a great way
to test a product market, and many people use Dropshippers as a regular and
continuing part of their Product Sourcing Methods.


                      Here is how dropshipping works


   1. You open an internet store, or start an account on an Auction site, like eBay,
      lelong.com.my. or even mudah.my to start selling your product.
2. You find a Wholesale Supplier who is willing to Dropship the product you want
   to sell. In this situation for example our website Somore.net .




The red arrow above show 3 currencies option to you to chose. RM, USD
and GBP. Click the currency option if you want to know price of our product
in that particular currency.


3. You establish an account with the Dropship Supplier(s) you choose.
   3.1 For Somore we provide TWO types of account. FREE membership,
      customer get only Retail Price but still get into our rewards program.
      Purchase of RM10 get 1 point that is equal to 10 cents. They still can sell
      the product but get a slim margin (profit) only. Thing maybe different if they
      get the demand for the higher price.


   3.2 Paid membership. Somore membership fee is only RM5 permonth with
      benefit of Reseller Price, Rewards points. and discount of Handling on
      Bulk purchase. Plus free 2 e-books with reseller rights permonth, links
      send direct to member’s email.


4. You need to copy images and descriptions of the products you want to sell
   from the Supplier, and place them on your Internet Store or Auction. For
   example, after you surf Somore.net and identify the product click the picture to
enlarge, click right button mouse and ‘save image as’ to your desktop or
         laptop. Also copy the description of the product from the product info.




      The figure below shows example of product at somore that can be
      downloaded (the images and product description)




Copy product image
(enlarge it first)

      5. A customer finds your Store or Auction, and falls in love with a product that
         you have priced at, for example, RM 50. They purchase the item with their
         credit card. Your Store or Auction charges their credit card RM 50 plus
         shipping.


      6. You email the order to your Dropship Supplier, along with the customer’s
         name and address. (for Somore.net just email to somore@somore.net or sms
         to 019-2843850).


      7. The Dropship Supplier sends the product directly to your customer from the
         warehouse, with YOUR business name, on the package. For Somore.net, to
         do so you need to key in your actual name and address when registered with
         Somore to make sure we can put your actual information for your customer.
8. The Supplier charges you the wholesale price of for example RM 40, plus
       shipping (you’ve already passed the shipping charge on to your customer, so
       the shipping costs you nothing).


   9. Your customer gets a great name brand product from your store or auction
       shipped to their door, and they tell al their friends about you, and you make
       even more money.


Now, you just made a RM 10.00 profit on one product. You never even touched the
product and you didn’t have to pay for it upfront. Please REMEMBER that you can
not expect to get too much margin on a product since Dropshipper actually already
bear the cost of time consuming, transportation and also sometimes the pressure to
face the traffic jam, long queue at post office, and etc. You can relax and enjoy
valuable time with family.


   How you can be succeed through Somore.net (Dropshipping) ?


REMEMBER although all the hard effort is beared by Dropshipper but as Home Base
Internet Entrepreneur or popular term, SOHO you still have VERY IMPORTANT
works to do.


   1) Keep learning the Tips and Tricks of the internet marketing world. Internet
       provide DYNAMIC information that keep updating. Laziness will make you left
       behind. For FREE Internet Business Magazine you can click this link
       http://www.majalahim.com/kategori/majalah-im/


   2) Remember winning is about thinking one step ahead – you always need to
       make research using some online tools. Find product that can be sold and the
       right market for it. Frankly speaking, Somore.net is some of it, but you can find
       more out there.
Please AVOID Common Mistake.
           “You have to sell a product you are Passionate about”


   This is a few links that will be useful to make market research:


   You Need to do Market Research First. Some of it is as follows:


   For ebay:    1) http://www.terapeak.com/
                2) http://pulse.ebay.com/_W0QQsacatZQ2d1


   Also to analyse demographic (such as age range, gender,and etc for many
   high ranked websites click this link: eg for lelong.com.my
   http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/lelong.com.my


   After you know what is the demanded or hottest product, the price and
   percentage of sales and what kind of people in terms of gender, age, family
   and education background, you then can decide what product that will be
   suitable for your target customer.


3) In order to have your own store for FREE you can go to
   http://www.vendio.com/ . You can put all the products you get from
   Somore.net website and start to sell it there or direct it to your ebay auction.


4) Or if you want FREE E-Commerce website to sale your product just click here,
   http://nazfa81.freese.hop.clickbank.net


5) Maybe some of the readers familiar with blogging but here are some for those
   who still new with it. You can have your own blog for FREE just like a website
   to promote your product;
   6.1)   www.blogger.com
   6.2)   www.wordpress.com


6) After setting up product platform (blog, website, online store and etc) you need
   to have correct advertisement methods. You can use some paid program
such Google Adwords, PPC (pay-per-click) program. To increase traffic to
   your store, blog, website and etc. Google provide many packages but you can
   begin it as low as USD30 or RM 100 permonth. TRAFFIC is also means
   CUSTOMER. More traffics so you can get more potential buyers of your
   products. To learn about google PPC program click this link, Google Adwords .
   Note: please make sure you are ready before going for the paid
   advertisement.


7) Other way to advertise for FREE is by using this program comment kahuna to
   post you comment to high traffic blog or forum that will in return bring traffic to
   your store. Click this link www.commentkahuna.com


8) Also the direct promotion or sales you can make is by selling it through
   ebay.com.my (Malaysia e-bay) or ebay.com (USA ebay) or ebay.co.uk (UK
   ebay) where the differences in currency give you more opportunity. Eg: if in
   Ringgit Malaysia the Product price is RM 25 but in USD it price is $ 6.75, it
   looks like more cheaper compare to sell in RM. Instead of that the US market
   is larger than Malaysia market.




         But how to go to oversea Market (USA, UK and etc)?


   This is the steps you can do: (use it as a checklist as well)


   1) Open up an account with paypal (there is many other secure online
      transaction provider such as alert pay but I use paypal for example). Go to
      www.paypal.com to learn more.


   2) If you have credit card you can link and verify it with paypal, actually many
      of my friends claim that they have paypal account but can’t withdraw the
      money. That is actually many of Malaysian do not know instead of credit
      card we also can use debit card for that. If you want to read my steps in
      applying the card you can read it from my blog
www.alafafzan.blogspot.com . You can transfer your money from paypal to
   the Credit or Debit card. However bear in mind, Paypal charges USD5 for
   each withdrawal made.


3) Then open up account with e-bay (if you don’t have it yet). If you already
   have Malaysia E-bay just go to the international selling requirements. Click
   here; www.ebay.com.my. Below is example of screenshot for Malaysia
   Ebay User. See the read arrow. The rest of the process will be shown by
   Ebay. Ebay will ask for either to submit all valid documents like copy of
   Identification card, Utility bills and etc. Or verify using credit or debit card.
   In that case I use Public Bank Visa Electron Debit Card. To sign up online
   click https://www.pbebank.com/en/en_content/personal/cards/visa_elt.html




             Example of screenshot to sell to US ebay.


Instead of ebay US you can also try to market your product at Ebay UK, click
here http://www.ebay.co.uk/ to learn more.


4) After you verify and link the card to e-bay, you now can start selling your
   product. But WAIT you must remember. US ebay charges some fee for the
   listing, this is different with Malaysia where the listing is free. To learn more
   you can joint forum at http://www.wangcyber.com/forum/perniagaan-
internet/12432-diari-usahawan-ebay-berhingus.html where there is some
             discussion regarding the tips and trick doing business abroad.


       5) Learn and keep learn, you need patient and focus on what you are doing.
             Begin with 2 or 3 items then adding more when you get the rhythm. And
             REALLY when you keep learning this online marketing and business world
             you find out that you know less than what you’ve thought.


       6) Maybe some of us can’t write in English very well (including me actually)
             Hence, this link will be helpful to them write advertisement or to inform
             oversea customer via email or message. A FREE Translation Services
             http://www.citcat.com/green_ov.jsp?lang=2


       Extra:
       Good news for the paypal user here is extra link for you to get daily income
       (not to much but if you multiply it properly you get extra income). The link is
       http://www.neobux.com/?r=alafafzan


Ok, I think thats all for the meantime, if you all need some assistant regarding
dropshipping please don’t hesitate to email me at somore@somore.net or sms to
019-2843850, I am not a Sifu but I will try to give the best for readers and our valued

Dropshipping Tips To Begin Selling Online

  • 1. Dropshipping; Tips To Begin Selling Online By Khairul Afzan Aziz Founder of Somore.net First Malaysia E-Dropshipper What is Dropshipping? Dropshipping is A real Wholesale Dropship supplier who will send products directly to your customers for you, one product at a time, from their warehouse. You pay a wholesale price for the products, one at a time, and charge your customer your retail price. The difference between those price is your profit. You never have to touch the product, or spend money to fill your house up with products that you might not sell. The Wholesale Dropshipper does that for you. To avoid any chance of delivery problems when using dropshipping by ordering 1 or 2 of your hottest selling items from the wholesaler. This will serve as a backup in the event the Wholesaler is out of stock on those items. Not only will you always have a backup for your ordering customers, you will also be able to experience what your customers are experiencing when they get an order delivered to them. Using Dropshippers allow you to sell brand new, brand name products and etc to your customers without paying for those products before you sell them. Keep in mind using Dropshipping costs you a little more, because the Dropshipper does a lot of the work for you and has to charge you a slightly higher wholesale price. It’s a great way to test a product market, and many people use Dropshippers as a regular and continuing part of their Product Sourcing Methods. Here is how dropshipping works 1. You open an internet store, or start an account on an Auction site, like eBay, lelong.com.my. or even mudah.my to start selling your product.
  • 2. 2. You find a Wholesale Supplier who is willing to Dropship the product you want to sell. In this situation for example our website Somore.net . The red arrow above show 3 currencies option to you to chose. RM, USD and GBP. Click the currency option if you want to know price of our product in that particular currency. 3. You establish an account with the Dropship Supplier(s) you choose. 3.1 For Somore we provide TWO types of account. FREE membership, customer get only Retail Price but still get into our rewards program. Purchase of RM10 get 1 point that is equal to 10 cents. They still can sell the product but get a slim margin (profit) only. Thing maybe different if they get the demand for the higher price. 3.2 Paid membership. Somore membership fee is only RM5 permonth with benefit of Reseller Price, Rewards points. and discount of Handling on Bulk purchase. Plus free 2 e-books with reseller rights permonth, links send direct to member’s email. 4. You need to copy images and descriptions of the products you want to sell from the Supplier, and place them on your Internet Store or Auction. For example, after you surf Somore.net and identify the product click the picture to
  • 3. enlarge, click right button mouse and ‘save image as’ to your desktop or laptop. Also copy the description of the product from the product info. The figure below shows example of product at somore that can be downloaded (the images and product description) Copy product image (enlarge it first) Copy product description 5. A customer finds your Store or Auction, and falls in love with a product that you have priced at, for example, RM 50. They purchase the item with their credit card. Your Store or Auction charges their credit card RM 50 plus shipping. 6. You email the order to your Dropship Supplier, along with the customer’s name and address. (for Somore.net just email to somore@somore.net or sms to 019-2843850). 7. The Dropship Supplier sends the product directly to your customer from the warehouse, with YOUR business name, on the package. For Somore.net, to do so you need to key in your actual name and address when registered with Somore to make sure we can put your actual information for your customer.
  • 4. 8. The Supplier charges you the wholesale price of for example RM 40, plus shipping (you’ve already passed the shipping charge on to your customer, so the shipping costs you nothing). 9. Your customer gets a great name brand product from your store or auction shipped to their door, and they tell al their friends about you, and you make even more money. Now, you just made a RM 10.00 profit on one product. You never even touched the product and you didn’t have to pay for it upfront. Please REMEMBER that you can not expect to get too much margin on a product since Dropshipper actually already bear the cost of time consuming, transportation and also sometimes the pressure to face the traffic jam, long queue at post office, and etc. You can relax and enjoy valuable time with family. How you can be succeed through Somore.net (Dropshipping) ? REMEMBER although all the hard effort is beared by Dropshipper but as Home Base Internet Entrepreneur or popular term, SOHO you still have VERY IMPORTANT works to do. 1) Keep learning the Tips and Tricks of the internet marketing world. Internet provide DYNAMIC information that keep updating. Laziness will make you left behind. For FREE Internet Business Magazine you can click this link http://www.majalahim.com/kategori/majalah-im/ 2) Remember winning is about thinking one step ahead – you always need to make research using some online tools. Find product that can be sold and the right market for it. Frankly speaking, Somore.net is some of it, but you can find more out there.
  • 5. Please AVOID Common Mistake. “You have to sell a product you are Passionate about” This is a few links that will be useful to make market research: You Need to do Market Research First. Some of it is as follows: For ebay: 1) http://www.terapeak.com/ 2) http://pulse.ebay.com/_W0QQsacatZQ2d1 Also to analyse demographic (such as age range, gender,and etc for many high ranked websites click this link: eg for lelong.com.my http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/lelong.com.my After you know what is the demanded or hottest product, the price and percentage of sales and what kind of people in terms of gender, age, family and education background, you then can decide what product that will be suitable for your target customer. 3) In order to have your own store for FREE you can go to http://www.vendio.com/ . You can put all the products you get from Somore.net website and start to sell it there or direct it to your ebay auction. 4) Or if you want FREE E-Commerce website to sale your product just click here, http://nazfa81.freese.hop.clickbank.net 5) Maybe some of the readers familiar with blogging but here are some for those who still new with it. You can have your own blog for FREE just like a website to promote your product; 6.1) www.blogger.com 6.2) www.wordpress.com 6) After setting up product platform (blog, website, online store and etc) you need to have correct advertisement methods. You can use some paid program
  • 6. such Google Adwords, PPC (pay-per-click) program. To increase traffic to your store, blog, website and etc. Google provide many packages but you can begin it as low as USD30 or RM 100 permonth. TRAFFIC is also means CUSTOMER. More traffics so you can get more potential buyers of your products. To learn about google PPC program click this link, Google Adwords . Note: please make sure you are ready before going for the paid advertisement. 7) Other way to advertise for FREE is by using this program comment kahuna to post you comment to high traffic blog or forum that will in return bring traffic to your store. Click this link www.commentkahuna.com 8) Also the direct promotion or sales you can make is by selling it through ebay.com.my (Malaysia e-bay) or ebay.com (USA ebay) or ebay.co.uk (UK ebay) where the differences in currency give you more opportunity. Eg: if in Ringgit Malaysia the Product price is RM 25 but in USD it price is $ 6.75, it looks like more cheaper compare to sell in RM. Instead of that the US market is larger than Malaysia market. But how to go to oversea Market (USA, UK and etc)? This is the steps you can do: (use it as a checklist as well) 1) Open up an account with paypal (there is many other secure online transaction provider such as alert pay but I use paypal for example). Go to www.paypal.com to learn more. 2) If you have credit card you can link and verify it with paypal, actually many of my friends claim that they have paypal account but can’t withdraw the money. That is actually many of Malaysian do not know instead of credit card we also can use debit card for that. If you want to read my steps in applying the card you can read it from my blog
  • 7. www.alafafzan.blogspot.com . You can transfer your money from paypal to the Credit or Debit card. However bear in mind, Paypal charges USD5 for each withdrawal made. 3) Then open up account with e-bay (if you don’t have it yet). If you already have Malaysia E-bay just go to the international selling requirements. Click here; www.ebay.com.my. Below is example of screenshot for Malaysia Ebay User. See the read arrow. The rest of the process will be shown by Ebay. Ebay will ask for either to submit all valid documents like copy of Identification card, Utility bills and etc. Or verify using credit or debit card. In that case I use Public Bank Visa Electron Debit Card. To sign up online click https://www.pbebank.com/en/en_content/personal/cards/visa_elt.html Example of screenshot to sell to US ebay. Instead of ebay US you can also try to market your product at Ebay UK, click here http://www.ebay.co.uk/ to learn more. 4) After you verify and link the card to e-bay, you now can start selling your product. But WAIT you must remember. US ebay charges some fee for the listing, this is different with Malaysia where the listing is free. To learn more you can joint forum at http://www.wangcyber.com/forum/perniagaan-
  • 8. internet/12432-diari-usahawan-ebay-berhingus.html where there is some discussion regarding the tips and trick doing business abroad. 5) Learn and keep learn, you need patient and focus on what you are doing. Begin with 2 or 3 items then adding more when you get the rhythm. And REALLY when you keep learning this online marketing and business world you find out that you know less than what you’ve thought. 6) Maybe some of us can’t write in English very well (including me actually) Hence, this link will be helpful to them write advertisement or to inform oversea customer via email or message. A FREE Translation Services http://www.citcat.com/green_ov.jsp?lang=2 Extra: Good news for the paypal user here is extra link for you to get daily income (not to much but if you multiply it properly you get extra income). The link is http://www.neobux.com/?r=alafafzan Ok, I think thats all for the meantime, if you all need some assistant regarding dropshipping please don’t hesitate to email me at somore@somore.net or sms to 019-2843850, I am not a Sifu but I will try to give the best for readers and our valued customers.
