Even the hardest market can be defeated by an amateur, but it takes time and knowledge. I've been doing this for over a year now,using Doba and Prostores. Both ends are easily intergrated. It takes money to make money. You sell little things you make little money,you sell big things you make big money, but the fine line is that too expensive means little or no customers, too cheap means almost no money as long as your using a dropshipper. You have to do research,look for the dropshipper that offers more for your buck. FOR ALL THE NEWBIES OUT THERE, (excuse the caps but i want to make a point) YOU MUST MARKET TO GET CUSTOMERS (internet marketting is a whole new dimention to discover by a beginner) . A good marketting company will charge you monthly and if your store (not talking about ebay) is set up right, accepting credit cards (important) and various payment options, your chance of sucess is higher. Marketting can cost thousands and thousands, but there are companies that'll charge you below a $100.00. I advice you chose something above $100.00/month. Sell products that will return what you spend and more. Make sure you budget and plan well, find out all the information you need to know about your dropshipper and the store you want to create.What i have said here is to advice those who are wondering how to put it all together.I'm still working on mine. I learn everyday and have hope that there are bigger things coming my way. Hope i have helped someone out there.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">dakiddddd</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:11:41 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Outsourcing for small business</title><link>http://www.startupaddict.com/blog/small-business-toolkit/outsourcing-for-small-business/308#comment-21340581</link><description>We are a leading provider of &lt;a href="http://www.amicorp-bpo.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;payroll services&lt;/a&gt; and accounting outsourcing solutions for business.

Before, commonly outsourced business processes include accounting, human resource management and sales. Nowadays, debt collections outsourcing is also common practice especially among companies who are regularly collecting international debts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ultrayellowpages.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;bill shor&lt;/a&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ultrayellowpages</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2009 06:02:28 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Outsourcing for small business</title><link>http://www.startupaddict.com/blog/small-business-toolkit/outsourcing-for-small-business/308#comment-12990332</link><description>Outsourcing Service's Advantages:</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Shahnawaz_82</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2009 04:17:28 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Outsourcing for small business</title><link>http://www.startupaddict.com/blog/small-business-toolkit/outsourcing-for-small-business/308#comment-12989342</link><description>I recently came across your blog and have been reading along.

After putting up several 'tester' auctions, I found that it wasn't a very good eBay wholesale choice, because the companies who are selling to Doba are already putting their own stuff on eBay at lower prices!  I might try my own site with Doba as my distribution source, but would not recommend using it for an eBay sales source.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Vernon Hunter</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2009 16:41:34 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wamp server problem solved.</title><link>http://www.startupaddict.com/blog/business-musings/splattered-thoughts/wamp-server-problem-solved/179#comment-9530160</link><description>You're a lifesaver... spent the last week trying to figure out what my localhost problem was.

I'd just ladder out some CD's and take care of myself and those closest to me, maybe 100k annually to each, including myself.  I'd work as a trustee to my own family trust, trying to make the most interest from the lowest risk investments.  I can say that for him to make 2 billion from that 85 million, he will have to leverage himself quite a lot, and put at risk his blessing, his windfall, the security he could provide for his family and himself.  No, I would be content with the winnings and work to preserve the capital and protect the family trust.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Brandon</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2009 17:50:05 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 100 best web apps for entrepreneurs</title><link>http://www.startupaddict.com/blog/web-20-and-beyond/100-best-web-apps-for-entrepreneurs/289#comment-7988943</link><description>I am going to go with Wordpress - not the flashiest of new, new, new things in 2009 but the potential it gives anyone (not just tech startups) to engage with their clients as a fledling business is awesome.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Keep on closing ;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http:///www.iloveclosing.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;http:///www.iloveclosing.com&lt;/a&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">The Closer</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2009 17:43:26 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Automated Social Networking for Bloggers</title><link>http://www.startupaddict.com/blog/web-20-and-beyond/social-networking/automated-social-networking-for-bloggers/159#comment-7919556</link><description>This article is very informative, and I never looked at it from this perspective before.
