What Startup Business is Best

The very best startup business you can do is promote your own products or service. With your own product or service, you can implement unique aspects of your business that will make you stand out from the crown. It is easier to be found with internet marketing. You can build a brand image around your business. With a brand that is recognized for quality and service, you control the market.

Local Partnerships

If you do not have your own product or service another option is to partner with someone who does. Often people who craft their own products or provide services never take the time to fully promote themselves. You can find these types of people in local markets or sometimes in the classifieds. Not all of them will want more business, they already have a strong presence by word of mouth. You should approach them with a business plan that shows how you could help them expand their business and find additional help to support an increase in sales you could provide. It is a win-win for both parties.

Local Sourcing

One of the best and most profitable businesses is reselling used products. These can be found at auctions and yard sales. Purchase an inventory of products that be cleaned up almost as good as new, take photos, and set up a website. Use local SEO to find buyers in your area or promote the products nationally. Presentation is the key. An old stool you pick up at an auction for $5 can easily retail for $50 with a little paint and the right website and presentation.

What is the easiest business to startup – Dropship Wholesalers

The easiest business to start up online which has great potential for profit is using online dropshipping services.

Dropship Wholesalers

Being the easiest does not make using drop shippers’ services like this the best. Do not start a new business with dropship wholesalers only. Wholesale dropshippers that have thousands of signups flood the market with the same products. The problem is this, competition. Yes, even with the competition you can still make 10% to 20% profit. BUT getting found first for that kind of product with SEO is nearly impossible.

There are many dropship suppliers on the internet now. Most of them are very professional and some even offer websites to get you started. They integrate your business with Amazon, eBay, and other platforms. For example one of the best I have seen around since 2002 is Doba. I even set up an entire website at one time to promote their products. Their service and products are beyond reproach.

PROBLEM WITH DROPSHIP PLATFORMS:

• The exact same product you find on Doba is being sold on eBay and Amazon.
• It is easy to sign up for a Doba account, why would buyers buy from you.
• The product Doba wholesaler offers you can be found in a similar design 1/2 the price.

Affiliate Partnerships

I would not recommend setting up a website that is flooded with affiliate links. These do not go over very well with Google. But once you have a strong online presence you might want to consider adding a few affiliate links to your website that have related products or services. There are several online sources for setting up affiliate accounts and you can also approach some companies directly. The good thing about using affiliate partnerships is all you need to do is send a referral in most cases. The company you have the affiliate account does the selling and then pays you a commission.

Business Startup Cost

If you are going to spend the time to set up a business, do it right. Nothing worthwhile is going to be free. I know there are many ways to set up an online business for free. But the problem with all the free options you will never be able to develop a self-identity/brand. There are thousands of other people doing the exact same thing from the free offers and at best only 1% of them ever make any decent amount of money.

You need to make a business plan. That plan needs to cover the initial startup and your plans for future expansion. You should also look at getting a grant for small busines startup.
