How to Join the Increasing Number of Successful Kitchen Commuters... and in 30 days Start Planning for Your Financial Freedom

By Sambi Ojon

You know those mornings when you wake up and do not fancy the trip into work. When, if you could you would opt to stay at home with the kids but are mindful of wanting next month's paycheck you force yourself out of bed anyway.

On the way to work you are forced to make small talk with complete strangers, you inadvertently hear one sided conversations that you would rather be privy to. There are all sorts of people blatantly and constantly invading your private space all the way to work. Frankly it is an exasperating experience. If you can relate to any one of these situations then it is time you considered an alternative means of bringing in a paycheck. A common trend towards this end is for people to start looking to their home computer to be used as an online second income generator

If you do fancy striking out on your own it might be worthwhile checking out drop shipping first as a potential source of income. Reason being that it is a relatively simple structure to set up. Essentially it comes down to what type of product you decide to market as to whether it will be possible to receive that all important first online sale within a period of 30 days or not.

Other unavoidable costs would include a laptop with a broadband connection, a printer and creating some space on the kitchen table. With these two physical things you can be up and running, earning from your online business sooner than you think possible.

A drop shipping business is when the product manufacturer / wholesaler takes care of all the shipping for you. Rather than ordering stock in bulk, the stock remains with the distributor. Then, when you make a sale through your advertising efforts, you send an email to the distributor with your customers details and they pack up the item and send it straight to the customer with your company label on the box.

When drop shipping there a few things that are worthy of taking note of so you are properly informed,

Drop shipping: 1. You do not pay for your goods to be transported from the supplier's warehouse to your warehouse (your house in this case). 2 No costs in terms of money and time in terms of getting to work because all you have to do is walk to the kitchen table and you are at work. 3 All you concentrate on is the marketing side of things and processing customers' orders. The posting and packing side of things are taken care of for you.

due to the low start up costs the barrier to entry is really very soft. Obviously you may have to spend some money on some equipment after all, it is still a business. Bottom line is whatever your circumstances, just strive to make your first sale (this is more difficult than it sounds so be prepared for some initial hard work), after your first sale you then know it can be done and then simply scale your efforts tenfold. With this plan you will be buying drinks for your mates in no time.
