This sounds too good to be true. Is this a scam? |
 |
Not at all. In fact, if you
read the page "how it works",
you will easily be able to realize that this is a genuine business plan
which requires effort and work on your part, unlike most business opportunities found
on the web claiming you'll only need to work a few hours per week. This
is not a scam. This is a real business opportunity which requires
work. Hard work pays off in any field.

What will my total start-up cost be? |
 |
In most states, you can form your company
as a sole proprietorship just by registering your business
name. Registering your business name can cost you $30 or
less.
Most genuine wholesale distributors require you to have a
sales tax license. You can obtain your sales tax license,
(sales tax license) for as little as $8. In some states
including California, Massachusetts and a few others, it's
free.
New Hampshire, Oregon, Alaska, Delaware and Montana do not
need sales tax licenses to buy and sell products. Business
name registration is sufficient.You can register your domain name www.you.com, for $10 per year or less,
with web hosting plans starting at $10 per month from companies such as
www.godaddy.com .
Other web host providers offer
professional services which can range anywhere from $10 to $40
per month with full featured shopping cart included.
You
can also purchase web hosting from
Gatorhosting.com for $6.95 per month with state of the art
shopping cartYou can obtain your own
merchant account and accept credit cards online for free with PayPal

for this business venture are minimal.

How long will it take me to get my business up and
running? |
 |
That depends on how much time and effort you put into
starting your business. Forming your company and obtaining
your sales tax license can be done in less than 2 weeks. In
that same time you can be building your Internet storefront.
- Building an online “super e-store” (selling all types of
products) can be accomplished in less than a month while building an
e-store focused on a niche market such as digital cameras, printers,
jewelry etc, can be completed within one week using tools such as
Microsoft FrontPage. Or you can also save time in design by
downloading a professional web site template from
TemplateMonster.com which offers many Internet storefront designs.

I don’t know anything about products. How do I learn? |
 |
Don’t be intimidated by selling any products. When you decide
what products you are going to sell, just start reading about them.
For example: You decide to open up an e-store that
sells digital cameras. All digital cameras work the same. So every
time you build a product specification page on your website just simply skim over
the information to get a better idea of the extra functions and
features of that camera.
You
can also make a quick reference comparison chart to keep handy. Buy
digital camera magazines and take them with you everywhere you go.
You’ll see how fast you’ll become a digital camera expert. Reading is
the key and is the same with any product lines.

Who will provide customer support? |
 |
You can handle customer support as much as you
would like. With computer products, who provides the best technical
support for Microsoft products? That’s right, Microsoft. For hi-tech
products, we’ll show you how to kindly send your customers directly to
the manufacturer technical support team for trouble shooting. Your
customers will thank you for it later. For products such as clothing,
jewelry, books, DVD's etc you can easily handle the customer and sales support questions.

Do I need to open up a
business bank account? |
 |
Yes and no. You can have the merchant account
provider deposit the funds directly into your own personal bank account.
However, there will be times when businesses may want to pay with a
company check. They will be expecting to write out the check to your
company name and not your personal name. So in this case it would be
best and more professional to have your own business bank account.

How do I build an Internet storefront? |
 |
Building an Internet storefront is easier than you think. You
only have to make the main design “one time”. Then use that template
over and over again through out your whole site to stay consistent.
Forget about html, psp, asp, xml etc. You don't have to know any kind of
html code or use any high-tech software. Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia
Dreamweaver or any low priced web building software will do just fine.
Once you have the software manual in your hand, simple open it up, skim
through it and follow the tutorials.
Once you build your first specification page, the rest of the pages will
be easy to duplicate within minutes because now you'll have a master
template.
In our eStorefront Guide section we show you how to make a clean yet simple web
site which will download quickly. That's the real key to all successful
e-stores on the internet today. Don’t be intimidated of building your
own site. We'll help you every step of the way.
And
again, you can have iTechWeb Designs or any other design firm build the site for you or
you can obtain
hosting with HostGator.com for $10 per month with includes a
professional shopping cart and you can download a professional website
template from
TemplateMonster.com. for $35 and now you will have your own
professional Internet Storefront.

Can I set my own
prices on the products? |
 |
You decide what price you want
to sell the products at. As a basic guideline, you can mark up the
products 10% to 30% of the price that you are purchasing the
product from the distributor.
With specialty products you could mark up the
price as much as 40% or more. In general, the higher the price of the
product, the bigger your profits will be.
“Do not” look at this business venture as just earning a 10% profit
margin on just one product. Instead look at it as earning 10% or more on
your total daily sales. For example: It is very easy to produce $5,000 in
high cost products such as computer
product sales or jewelry sales on a daily basis in your first few months.
>10% of $5,000. = $500. net profit per day.
>$500 x 5 business days per week = $2,500 per week net profit.
>$2,500 per week x 4 weeks = $10,000 per month net profit.
Your e-store will be open 24 hours, 7 days per week allowing you to take
more orders on Saturdays, Sundays and even while you sleep.

How do I pay for these products? |
 |
Many of our partner distributors provide many flexible payments
options:
IM Credit Departments:
Qualified resellers can sign up to receive payment
terms of prepay, COD and net terms.
Credit Card: Resellers may also place orders by using personal or
company credit cards (Discover Card, MasterCard and Visa). (This is the
most fastest and most convenient form of payment).
EFT: Many distributors especially computer product distributors
offer the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) program which withdraws funds
automatically from participating resellers' designated checking accounts
within 10 business days. By then your merchant account will already have
deposited your customers funds into your bank account. Using the EFT
program allows you to use the moneys from your sales instead of using
your own money.
Financial Services Company: Many distributors
are able to offer a variety of useful financing options for eligible
resellers. IFSC programs currently available include:
-Leasing
-Lending
-End-User Financing
-Credit Card Services
-HR Solutions
-Purchase Order Financing
-Dun
& Bradstreet Exclusive Offer

How do I get paid? |
 |
As explained in the “how
it works section” section of
this web site, since you will have your own merchant account, money from
the sales you made will be deposited directly into your bank account on
a daily basis. For example: You sell a product today to your
customer. Your customer pays you with their credit card. Your
merchant account will deposit those credit card funds into your bank account within
48 hours. Deduct what the product costs at wholesale and separate the
profits.

What is my income tax
liability? |
 |
The distributors do not withhold any income tax
for you. You are responsible for your own declarations of income to the
Internal Revenue Service. When it comes time to file your taxes just
head on over to H & R Block and they’ll handle the whole process for
you.
