I am SO glad somebody asked this question. HERE is the answer. Use the services of a third party drop-ship company. This is the service I myself use for my own ECA store ( located here - https://www.tripleclicks.com/ECA/ECAMyStore.php?id=7994 ) and also the very same service most, if not all, the power sellers on E-bay are using. The method is simple. You get TRUE wholesale pricing on over 1 million ( YES, 1 million. NOT a typo ) great products for you to sell as your own. You operate your business in 5 easy steps.

1) Pick any products you want to sell. ( no limit )

2) Upload the product pictures and descriptions to the site you wish to sell them on.

3) Price the item at any either the suggested retail price or whatever price you wish to charge above your own wholesale cost. ( Your profit is the difference between your wholesale cost and your selling price.

4) When the item sells, collect your retail price from your buyer FIRST.

5) Once YOU have collected your money, order the product from the supplier at your wholesale cost and provide the name and shipping address of your customer.

That's it! The supplier Picks the product, professionally packages it, Labels it with YOU or YOUR company name shown as the shipper, ships it out and provides YOU with a tracking number to share with your buyer.

You don't need a business license and it doesn't matter what country you live in. Your sales territory is the entire United States and Canada ( OR you can opperate within the United Kingdom, but that is a separate option ) but you can still operate your business from anywhere in the world.

Information on how to get started and the contact info for this dropship company is here:

http://worldofproducts.weshiponline.com/Marketing/DD_index.asp

They have a number of different ways to operate this business, but I find the best match for TrippleClicks is the BASIC program. There is a ONE time setup and processing fee of about $50.00 but it is WELL worth it.

If you have any further questions about how to do this, feel free to personally e-mail me and I'll be happy to help you in any way I can.

You can search the internet for most popular and fast moving products.
There are products like E-books, Softwares, etc. available for free or for a very low cost. Other physical products like Electronics goods, Antiques, collectibles, Gift Items, etc. are also available for wholesale rates. You need to find the right dealers (local dealers would be a better option) to sell their items for a reasonable commission.

There are many sources from where we can get good products at reasonable prices. Products are of 2 main categories:
1. Digitally Downloadable Products: eBooks, Articles, Softwares, Audio/Video Products etc. We can easily search them on internet. Many are available free with Resell Right plus we can buy Memberships with Resell Rights at reasonable prices from many reputable online companies.
2. Physical Products required shipping: There is vast range of such products, e.g. Electronics, IT Products, Antiques, Decoration Products, Garments, Gift Items, Jewelry etc. To get boosting sales of such products, we should source them wisely avoiding high costs such as handling, shipping. We can easily find many attractive & fast moving products with special offers, online using search.

In my opinion, items available locally will get better sales with less costs. e.g.:
1. We all can get many products specially available in our area/city/country only. Study your area, find out such products, source and price them wisely & competitively to attract customers.
2. Search & keep an eye at local markets/shopping centers/wholesaler/weekend 1-2 day markets/garage sales etc. We can get many useful products at cheapest prices from such places. As many outlets offer clearing/closeout prices with high discounts for new items. Such products will cost us less. Listing them at our ECA regularly and then updating them with disounts, using NEWEST/FEATURED PRODUCTS/HOT DEALS/CLOSEOUTS tabs at our TConnect Page, gradually will get good customers internationally.

Amazon, Ebay, Yard Sales, and Craigs List are places for good merchandise deals but you must do your homework at Ebay and Amazon to make sure the shipping cost isn't over priced. Many sfi affilates win items cheaply at Pricebenders and sell them for a profit at their ECA/TripleClicks sites. Also do a google search for wholesale merchandise for new, rebuilt, restored, and returned items.

This is a great question. If you have any hobbies or crafts that you create throughout the year - you can sell these online - some people make jewelry, crafts, etc. and do quite well. Others are involved with companies like ClickBank and resell their items. Another way is to look at items online that you think would sell well and do not cost an arm and a leg to ship. On that company's website you might find an affiliate program to resell their products. Look around your home - is there a book or two that you don't plan to read again? Is someone in your family an Avon representative? The list is endless. Have fun!

This is a great question.
I encourage every member in my downline to open their own ECA store by offering them a free report on how to create original downloadable products using PLR products to create new products. I also promissed my PSA's to buy their first product (if it is priced below $10) As explained by a lot of other members looking for dropshipping companies or finding items at wholesale prices is also a good idea. If you want to find original and great looking products, you can find one of a kind original handcrafted products at Etsy.com. A lot of Etsy sellers offer wholesale prices if you ask for it. I have been selling on both Etsy and eBay but my sales doubled since I am selling true my own ECA store. I create original jewelry and I offer both wholesale items and dropshipping on handcrafted unique jewelry and on jewelry supplies.
If you have any further questions about how to do this, feel free to personally e-mail me and I'll be happy to help you.

I find many items at close out sales,yard sales and with online wholesalers. I think these are the easiest way to get started. Then after you start to make sales,you can research other suppliers.

There is a myriad of web sites that will allow you to tap into an endless list of items that can be dropped shipped to your customers or that you can purchase and warehouse yourself. However, one needs to thoroughly check these different warehouses out before depending on them to ship the merchandise to your customers. Remember, it is your company's reputation that is on the line.

Furthermore, you need to watch the trends of purchasing by the buying public and choose items that you know something about. If you don't know about them, you can do an enormous amount of research online these days by using search engines like Google and Bing. Just make sure you perform your due diligence before making any decisions as to who to use as a supplier. If you are unsure of the due diligence procedures you can find an endless supply of websites that can give you informative information for the due diligence process for different industries and products. Just remember, without good due diligence you will have to work harder to be successful. Always use other peoples mistakes and knowledge to grow your company.

Hello Marlene!
There are two different aspects to which you are referring in your one question...
a) SFI affiliates can find ECA which stands for e-Commerce Affiliate, meaning people that have a store and want to sell online using Triple Clicks; for an SFI affiliate, there are many advantages that result from the finding of ECAs that joined Triple Clicks; you can look at #5 of the compensation plan here...
https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan
b) the other aspect is referring to the possibility for SFI affiliates to sell their own stuff (i.e. things that you have home and that you are ready to sell because you are not using them anymore - as in a garage sale); indeed you can sell your own things through your own store at Triple Clicks; these items would be listed on your TConnect page. So, you do not have to look around to find these items as they are your own items from your own home or garage that you decide to sell and make some money out of them instead of simply discarding or giving them away. You will need to create a specific listing for any one of these items. Have a look here for more info...
https://www.tripleclicks.com/sellingFAQ.php
And, they both represent an additional interesting way of making money with SFI!
To your Success!
