Drop Shipping Without A Web Site
You can have a drop shipping business and sell either from your home computer or offline without having to have a website. This is a good way for you to start a drop shipping business even if you do not have the capital necessary or the expertise necessary to set up a website.
The way you make money is very simple. All that you do is act as a drop shipping referral agent and send people to a website that pays you when someone purchases through that website.
Let us explain this by way of example.
First look at a website that will work with you and drop ship gifts for you. Just look at this for now. Go to Unique Handmade Gifts.
Note that they advertise for Partners. That is their affiliate program.
When you join their affiliate program you get a special special code that you can use to make money.
Here are some ways you can do it without having to even get close to a computer, no less a web site.
That code offers people a discount of 10% on any thing that they purchase through the Unique Handmade Gift online store.
You give it to a friend. When that friend purchases something and takes the offered discount, the online store flags the purchase as having been referred by you. And because it was your special code that was used, you get paid a commission of 10 percent of the net amount of the purchase.
You can approach this from many angles.
Give to everyone you know, see, or bump into, a simple business card that with your discount code. Here is an image of a very simple sample card.
You can make a card with only the discount information like you see here and give the cards out just like this.
If you find it appropriate, you can add the discount card to the back of your regular business card. Note that we have found that when there is a discount code on a business card, people tend to put that business card in a special place. It ends up helping your offline business as well.
Be creative. Use these images for ideas to make your own cards Of course, you can use them as they are.
Give people more than one so that they can give them to their friends and family.
Ask people with whom you do business to put them on their counters.
Post them on the notice boards at your local market.
Give them to the cashiers at toll booths when you pay for your parking or highway toll. Just hand it to them with the money.
If you are home party consultant you can give these business cards out at the home parties and are now long-lasting income as people to buy more gifts
Spread them every way you can.
Business cards are cheap and people keep them around. They may not use them today, but six months from now they might.
And then you can go one better. Send postcards.
People always read postcards! Well, almost always. Write them by hand.
