Consider This...

Shipping Your Product
Some wholesalers will "drop-ship" product (meaning: they will ship for you). However, if they do not drop-ship (or you are selling products you produce yourself) there are a number of options when it comes to shipping your product.
#1) The U.S. Postal Service #2) UPS #3) DHL
REMEMBER, you should at least double the total costs of your product to arrive at your retail price. Since shipping is part of your cost of doing business, be sure to know your shipping costs and include them when determining your product prices.

Coming Soon ...Alpha Mall Membership / Service Sites
Maybe Your business is not selling products, but services. Whether you are selling unique information, offering mentoring and coaching, or providing some other service, a monthly membership site may be a better option for you than a shopping cart of products for sale.
Not only is it fast to set up (with the right tools), but the start-up and running costs are minimal.
Target the right market: Find a market that is passionate about a subject, and then build your membership site around it.
Make it unique: Ideally potential subscribers shouldn’t be able to find the same information elsewhere for free online. Your job is to search online (and in some case offline) for content, and provide it in a convenient manner for your subscribers.
