If you are, like many Internet marketers, who get shy about marketing physical products, because they think it is too much hassle to deal with packaging and shipping, inventory, storage of stock and dealing with suppliers, please read on and find out how to get good profits marketing physical products.
When you start to know how profitable promoting physical products can be, you soon begin to look for ways to minimize the hassles. You will find that getting involved in promoting tangible goods for the first time, can be daunting in the beginning, but it does not have to be so all the time.
If you go to eBay for instance, you can find a ton of information there as to how to promote successfully using the eBay website. Their facilities and organization are second to none and the advice they give you, will make you realize that promoting physical products is something very profitable indeed.
Just consider this for a second: eBay is one of the largest targeted traffic sources in the Internet, where almost everyone goes there to do just this thing: "to buy". Their website is rated by alexa in the top 10 online. And the sellers in eBay give it the opportunity to make billions of Dollars in online revenue every month. Can you imagine yourself not being able to get a tiny percentage of that enormous pie? But many internet marketers are reputed to rake in six and seven figure monthly incomes on that website.
Yes, promoting physical products! The selling of tangible goods starts, just like other ways of affiliate marketing, by researching the market, finding in other words, what is in demand, what people like, what works well solving peoples' desires and problems. Then, when in possession of this powerful information, you begin to source the products that you are going to sell to the groups of people that you found in your research, wanting those physical goods.
The question of storage for example, is something that you don't necessarily have to do either if you don't want to. There are ways which allow you to sell almost anything from websites without you needing any kind of storage for the goods you sell. One such method is what is called drop shipping. This is great because you never have to buy and stock the physical product.
How does this work? Well, you just list the physical items you want to sell on eBay, and when the customers want to buy from you, they send you the money and you take your profit first and then you pass on the rest of the money to the drop ship company, as well as their names and addresses. The drop ship company then, ship the physical products directly to your customers.
With this method, you can establish yourself in many markets, without ever having the need to either buy things upfront, or to store them and with minimal effort. This system can also run on almost autopilot mode. But where can you source all the products that you want to sell? This is not difficult at all. All you have to do is open an account with a company like alibaba.com and you then can supply your customers with a huge variety of physical products, coming from a single source.
And remember that again, you don't have to deal with any of the problems relating to the physical products themselves or with customers' complains, inventories etc. The drop shipping company will take care of all those things, since in reality they are the suppliers of the physical items. Whether the customer realize this or not, is not important, but it frees you to just do the marketing and accumulate your profits.
Also there is another option of course, and that is you becoming and affiliate for those companies supplying physical goods. They take all responsibility for sending the goods, dealing with customer issues and that they are satisfied. You just collect your commissions for sending prospects to the company's website who buy their goods. There are times in the year when people go on a frenzy spending spree, especially during holiday periods, and it is then that you can benefit from that demand and spending frenzy, to make good commissions for yourself.
Take note that there are many other companies that can provide many other physical goods for your customers, with whom you can do drop shipping and wholesale business with. A simple Google search for wholesale or drop shipping online companies should give you a few major names. Or go for global sources in Google and you get amazing data from all over the world, giving you huge possibilities for you to make a lot of money, marketing physical products online.
