My Free Online Store has earned me a fortune! I will teach you how for NO CHARGE!
59About me and my store
I am a full time employee and the mother of three children,
ages six and under. As you can imagine, there is not enough
time in the day to split between three children, let alone
cutting eight hours out to work Monday through Friday.
So for the last three years, I have spent endless hours
searching through pages on the Internet to find the best ways
to make money from home. I have tried one of just about
every type out there including surveys, affiliate sites, and
network marketing, all natural product sales and online dollar
stores. I have had to pay something to earn anything from all
of them and the little bit that I earned was not worth the money
or the time that I put into it!
So recently I decided to devote the very little free time that I
do have, surfing the net for ways to make money that costed
me NOTHING! A friend of mine recommended that I sell some
of my children's name brand clothes on E-bay. I thought it
sounded like a reasonable idea, so I did it! I loved it! It was a
thrill! I liked talking to the people, making money from items
that I had paid nothing for and it was quick! However, the
drawbacks included taking the time out to list each item
individually and shipping each item individually. Then there
were the FEES! When I sat down and added up what I had
made and subtracted the fees charged by e-bay and the fees
charged by paypal, along with the shipping, I really was not
making enough to cover all the work I had to put into it. I needed
to find a way to supply the products to sell, that did not cost me
anything and a way to streamline shipping so that I didn't have
to spend so much time or money.
I did a general search online for free wholesale membership
and I found a few different suppliers offering free limited
memberships and drop shipping. Drop shipping is where
the wholesale club will ship the item you order right to your
customer for you.
I thought this sounded perfect! I signed up for them and became
what is called a "reseller". Now that I had found my product
source and fixed my shipping problem, I just needed to find a
way to list and sell my items without having to pay fees to other
companies. Again, I did a search for free online stores and
found many options. There are companies out there that will
sell you a website for a set price that already includes all the
items to sell. Then all you have to do is pay for it! The problem
with that is, how many other people have the same store online.
It is seriously competitive and it costs!
Then I found a website that supplies free online stores that you
can build on your own! They don't sell you a store already built.
They don't supply the products. They simply give you the
website layout already completed and allow you to upload
your own product information. It was the perfect solution!
Exactly what I was looking for! So now I have a store that has
taken a little bit more of my time in the starting, but I did not
have to pay one cent for any of it!
I spent approximately three to five hours for about four days
copy and pasting all of the product information from the free
wholesale sites that I joined and formatting everything. Now,
all of basic product information and categories are set up and
all I have to do is advertise my site! I list the products for a
reasonable price. I only up sell a couple of dollars from the
wholesale price. I make a couple dollars per order and I also
serve a purpose to others in providing products at a discount.
It is so exciting!
I am willing to share my resources with anyone who is interested!
For FREE! I am so proud to say that after three years of
searching and being ripped off from the work-at-home world,
that I have made it successfully on my own, working from
home!

Very nice Hub. The offer to help others is outstanding and generous. You've got to be a very sweet person!
Why is your site, if it is flourishing as you say, still looking so empty?
They look like SMC products, are they?

I used to be in SMC and that is exactly what these items are. And SMC is NOT free. You can expect to fork out about $500 to get started with them.
There are many other dropshippers that you can use free of charge. When I built my site, I had about a dozen suppliers and SMC was the only one that I had been charged for. Not to mention that these products are one of the highest saturated products online these days. Pretty much every personal gift site you find these days have these products. Not to mention their charges for orders under $30 end up costing you in the long run unless your customer orders at least $100 worth to be dropshipped because the small order charge is based on YOUR cost and not retail. This, I learned the hard way! Being a member of the SMC business forum for over a year, I just can't believe that anyone has made a fortune with this in a very short time online.
