Create Your Own Shopping Mall and Work from your home

By Craig Relph


There's no disputing that the Internet has enabled hundreds of thousands of people to launch their own business from home. And, with the economy in recession, more people than in the past are looking for methods to supplement their existing income, to recover from a job loss, in order to hedge against uncertain times. An Online work from home business provides a large number of advantages. You can make your own hours, to help you work while the kids are in school or after they've gone to bed at night. You are able to steer clear of the time wasted by the daily commute and don't have to pour money into your vehicle's gas tank going to and from work everyday. Best of all, it's not necessary to answer to a boss, since you are the boss!

Because the sum of money consumers spend on the web is at an all-time high, the most effective businesses you can launch is an online shopping mall. While this seems counterintuitive - after all, where will you store all of the inventory? - so many people are finding extraordinary success in selling online.

What's the secret? It's actually really quite simple. You need to simply look for a supplier who will provide you with access to products that you can sell online, and then who'll perform the shipping for you. Quite simply, it's not necessary to stock inventory, you don't have to handle packaging and shipping; you simply need to market the products. Ideally, the company you partner with really should have 200,000 or even more products from which you can choose. If you have access to that kind of stock, you can become an eBay power seller or a star Amazon trader in absolutely no time at all.



When you are searching for a company with which to partner, find one that has at least three different plans. One may be an auction plan, with a one-time setup charge and no fees each month. You should have access to low wholesale prices and all of the company's products, without any minimum order.

Another choice may well be a website plan where you get your own website pre-loaded with all the merchandise, where you can customize your website, and where no merchant account is required. A third option may well be a website and auction plan where you can have the best of both worlds, and where you get a free domain along with a free e mail account.

Beyond the plan options, you should choose a company with no fees each month, that provides free order fulfillment, which will dropship each and every product you sell directly to your customer. Quite simply, you ought to be able to have a turnkey shopping mall that you can administer from your home. All you need is a computer.

As for the types of items you sell, there are virtually no limitations. The very best partnering companies offer thousands of products in categories like apparel, computers, electronics, health and beauty, home and garden, jewelry, games and toys, and so forth. Typically, an internet shopping mall that offers a multitude of items is a lot more successful than one that provides a small selection.

Starting up a home based business can be incredibly fulfilling, as well as financially rewarding. The secret lies in partnering with the right company.
