Hunry:
op you seem to be a good teacher but I noticed you don't practice what you teach. why?

First, there were always tough challenges in the way of doing most of the things I now share especially this dropshipping business of which were overcames a couple of months ago.

Secondly, the truth is that I love sharing and helping people. Another truth is that I now know a whole lot of things on making money online.
The last but not the least truth is that there is no way I can practically do everything that I know, but I can actually share them if I want.

That's why if you observe carefully, I usually said "How To Make" and not "How I Make" in my headlines to give room for honesty because I don't deceive or scam people.
And by the special grace of God, through my teachings, help and support, a lot of people have benefited in one way or the other. Some are actually making money online, and they are ever grateful

I'm actually active in the game bro. But I'm now very selective about the online business model I work and concentrate on based on my level of knowledge now.

Did you know about Kikimat, the social network for the next generation? That's a project I personally created. Kikimat, when fully developed to its full potential will be generate millions of Dollars/month in the new future.

I also have in place a solid plan to launch other great projects like job marketplace similar to Fiverr and a full-fledged e-commerce platform where you can open a store and sell your products on the platform like it is done on eBay and Amazon and Etsy in the future.

So you see, I have some really big dreams and the things I now share are very primary to me so I don't care given them away free. You will agree with me that most of the things I share freely are far better than what some people put in an e-book and sell for money

A teacher who teach doesn't need to do all that he teaches. But if you follow what he teaches, you will succeed.

First and best route to dropshipping.

1. Independent Store.

Like I said earlier, this is the best option for running an e-commerce store and dropshipping business.

With an independent Store, you can run and manage an international e-commerce store that is fully setup with payment gateway integration to accept all major credit cards, Bitcoin, and PayPal payment in your store and sell globally.

What you will need setup an independent store:

1. A domain name.
This is your store web address

2. A hosting account.
This is where your store is hosted on the web. That is, where you store all your products on the web like in the case of a physical store where you rent a space to keep your goods.

3. Worpress + Woocomerce.
You will need to install Wordpress on your hosting account, install and activate the Woocomerce Plugin. Then you will be able to setup your store with payment gateway integration to start selling whatever products you want. And you can sell to any country in the world.

If you are a web designer/developer, you will find that the above steps is not a rocket science. With just some little additional information, you will be good to go.

This is an introductory class, as such, the step by step process of how this whole thing works is beyond the scope of this free tutorial.

But you can see what I said above in action to confirm that it is actually possible to have your own international e-commerce store to sell/dropship globally and cash your earnings in your local bank account here in Nigeria.

Visit Kikimat Store in my signature to confirm.
If you need a PayPal business account, you can order it from the store and pay with your credit card or Bitcoin.

Next update is on the second method to run this business which is Amazon EBay route.
This is the easiest and cheapest option to get started fast. Stay tuned

In the meantime, ask your question if there's anything you don't understand

maaji:
can I do all these i.e registration and test using my Android phone.?

No. You need a laptop/PC to succeed with this.

Manutd19:
Which card gateway are you using?

There is no such thing as card gateway.
Make your question clear to get a clear answer

Manutd19:
Nice. The main problem has always been accepting payment on the dropshipping store.
Which card payment gateway are you using and how did you get approved?

It all depends on the route you take.
Like I explain in the post, you can accept all major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard etc.

How I get approved?
I'm not sure if I understand what you mean?

jloe:
Hi cosmic,can you use the same shop name for 2 different business on Etsy? one wold be jewelry and the other would be digital files
we are still waiting for your lectures bro

Thanks

You can sell different types of products in your shop. But it is always best to make your shop name brandable even if the name doesn't mean anything if you want to sell all kinds of stuffs in your shop.

Examples of a brandable names:

Kikimat
Nairaland

They are short and easy to remember. They don't mean anything in particular, so you can do anything with them. Understand?

I'm coming to this Etsy EPI course soon. Actually have a whole lots to do, and Kikimat is so demanding and a whole lots of people I. I'm attending to.

Meanwhile I'm planning to launch Amazon Kindle Publishing Course, which will be my main focus after Kikimat along with this EPI course.

I'm actually looking at how to balance things up so we can move forward faster.

3.1. Shopify Store - Easy, Fast to get started. But Expensive Option. No domain and hosting required

3.2. Bigcommenrce - Easy, Fast to get started. But like Shopify, this option is expensive as well. No domain and hosting required

I will explain each of these methods, and how to get started with each method in upcoming tutorials. The free tutorials will first appear on Kikimat. You don't want to miss it.


In the meantime, ask your questions. Let's know if you are following.

2. Amazon & EBay - Easy and Fast. No domain and hosting required. This option is cheaper to get started.

You don't need to pay any monthly fees for your store like in the case of Shopify and Bigcommerce.
You don't need to worry about payment gateways here.

When some people complain that they can't start dropshipping business because of payment gateway issues, I understand they don't know that they can dropship without having to worry about payment gateways with Amazon and eBay.

But of course, you must know how to use this route because Amazon and eBay doesn't allow Nigerians to sell on their platform.

3 Major Routes To Dropshipping

There are 3 major routes to starting this business.

I'm going to briefly mention them below, then I will explain in full details in our next lecture under dropshipping. Make sure you are following so you don't miss any of the lessons.

The Routes:

1. Independent Store - Best Option. Required a domain name and hosting + Woocomerce

Here you have your international e-commerce store fully setup with payment gateway integration to sell globally, accepting all major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, AmericanExpress, Discover etc.
You will also be able to accept Bitcoin payment in your store.

There is also an option with payment gateway that let you withdraw money from your sales to your local bank account.

With this independent route, you are in full control of your dropshipping business. In other words, you are the Boss and CEO. You decide exactly how your DS (dropshipping) is run and operated and you can actually scale it up if you want.

Hello to all my fans and friends out there, today we are going to discuss about one of the biggest and best online business models that is guaranteed to make you rich once you understand how it works and mastered it. This topic is vast, so we are going to take it step by step for a better understanding.


Let's get started...

When starting an online business, one of the key elements is having products to sell. In fact, without products and services, you don’t have a business at all.

So how do you get products… where do you find them… how do you know if they’ll sell… how do you get them to customers?

In the vast world of internet entrepreneurship, there are many answers to all of those questions. You could create your own products — but that can be a long and time-consuming process.

Or you could buy in bulk from a manufacturer and then ship out products to your customers as they buy. But that is an expensive solution, and you have to take the risk of investing that money in buying stock and not having sales.

There is a solution that allows you to overcome all those hassles. And it makes the whole startup process for your online venture that much easier. It’s called drop shipping. And it has taken the online business world by storm.

What Is Dropshipping?

Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn't keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a store sells a product, it purchases the item from a third party and has it shipped directly to the customer. As a result, the merchant never sees or handles the product.

What this mean is that you don't have to pre-purchase the items you will be selling, and you can offer many different products to your potential customers at no cost. All you will be listing in your store or website is the picture of those products which you are going to just copy and paste free.

There are 3 major routes to starting this business models which I'm going to reveal here as we proceed.

czarina:
Thanks alot.. Just finished an order now.. Rounded up 40 minutes earlier... Hoping for a good review tho.. The other was due to power outage... I hope this gets accepted and good review given... Thanks for the heads up... Really appreciate

You are welcome.
Power is the biggest challenge facing us in this country. Hopefully, it will be over and we will get interrupted supply someday.
I wish you all the best dear

czarina:
thanks alot... Having a bad day on iWriter... Accepted to do a job , completed it but the reservation timed out when I tried submitting . Any ideas on working within that time limit? Please help

Sorry about that. You are really putting in the required effort. Don't worry, you will make it up some other time.

Time wait for nobody. Unfortunately, the timer can't be extended. You will have to increase your speed to catch up with the timer.

Tip:
Reserve like 10minutes for yourself before submission for review of your work and proof reading.

For example, say you have 2hrs to submit a project. Adjust the timer (in your head) to 1:50minutes (10minutes - 2hrs = 1:50minute) and make sure you finish your work and stop at exactly 1:50minutes assuming you were submitting the job at 1:50minutes.
Then you will have 10minutes left to go through your work, check for mistakes and make correction before submitting.

This strategy require that you work a bit faster. But it will help you to avoid last minute submittion rush that normally lead to mistakes and errors which ultimately result in bad ratings.

Nothing is impossible as long as you want it long enough and hard enough

czarina:
Hi... Been following closely, opened an iwriters account and took up an article without checking the instructions (stiff competition out there ) and only checked later and found the requester asked to be contacted before taking the job... Tried sending him a message, no replies and time is running out... How do I cancel before it ruins my ratings ?Pls reply

The option to cancel the order is always available until the timer runs out.
So check very well and you will see it.
If you can't still find it, click on the project as if you want to start writing it and you will see the option to cancel it.

Let us know if this problem is resolved and always read job instructions before claiming it.

The competition is stiff?
That's because many people are jobless, and an opportunity like this can help people to start something and be making regular income every month.

In the iwriter e-book, I revealed how to beat the competition and succeed faster on iwriter.
The e-book is available on Kikimat and I'm given it away 100% free of charge.
If you are interested in making money on iwriter and you don't have the iwriter free e-book, then you are missing out on some valuable information that can help you succeed faster there.

henryobinna:
no,not yet. I paused

Okay bro.
In the meantime, keep building your followership base. There are other opportunities like this one which I will share on Kikimat and here on Nairaland

MyLady11:
I worked for the money, buy bitcoin for it to increase and someone came and reap it. God, where are you

Very unfortunate! Sorry bro. But you have to move on.

In the future, always do a thorough check on any individual, confirming that others are transacting with him/her with success stories be you ever send your money out to the person.
This statement suggest that you are the cause of your own problem right now.

You never carry out any research on the guy, you also didn't see any success stories of successful transactions by the guy anywhere. So why exactly did you transact with him? I mean what prompted you to do business with him?

Anyway, I'm hoping to bring this kind of situation where people are scammed of there hard earned money by creating a section on my social network for

"Trustworthy E-currencyexchangers"

to list their services so that people can just go there and do business with them with peace of mind without going through the stress searching for who is who.

This plan, when achieved, it will be very hard for beneficiaries to get scammed or fall into the hands of scammers.

You will want to join us through my signature because the exclusive service will be available only to members of my community.

The love of your life. Your soul mate. Your life partner. That special someone. Whether we admit it or not, many of us are seeking to find our perfect complement. We crave having someone by our side who will love us through our moments of imperfection, and share the memories of our lives with us. We’ve seen enough movies about it, so it must be possible, right?

Love is no fairy tale, so you can stop looking for a perfect "10" who fulfills all the qualifications on your wish list. It is possible, however, to find someone to stand by your side, brave the messiness of the world, and help you experience life to its fullest potential.

How do you set the foundation to attract this kind of love in your life? Here are 5 secrets to get you started:

Be authentic.

To find real love, you must first emphasize your true self. If you want someone to love you through your moments of imperfection, you must first be willing to do that for someone else. Be real with yourself, so you are ready for someone else's authenticity.
What really makes you happy? What do you really want out of life? It’s easy to get caught in a pattern of pleasing others, and doing what seems popular or "normal" at the time. If you shift your personality, passions, or purpose to appease another person, you are not being your true self. People are attracted to authenticity. Get to know yourself, love yourself, and learn to act and speak authentically.

Be your best self.

Though opposites can attract, you must first understand that "like attracts like." You set the caliber for the individual you want to spend your life with. You wouldn't look for a lethargic, gluttonous, stingy complainer with ketchup stains on their shirt, so identify ways to clean up your own act first.
Do you want to spend your days with a healthy person who takes care of their body? Then lace up those sneakers and get to the gym yourself! Do you want to surround yourself with a person who sees the best in people and situations? Then stop complaining! Do you want to find someone who strives to live each day with grace, joy, purpose. and integrity? You get the idea. . .

Be confident.

Be confident in yourself, your decisions, and your ability to attract love into your life. If you are being your authentic, best self, this confidence will radiate from you in a glow of self-worth. You will attract someone who recognizes, appreciates, and loves who you are.
Foster this confidence by knowing that you are whole and complete just by beingyou. Understand that a soul mate is nice to have, but not amust-have. You, alone, are enough.

Be open.

If your desire is to meet someone new, then you must be willing to connect and open up with the people around you. If someone next to you in the coffee line strikes up a conversation, be willing to engage. Even if that person is not to be the love of your life, practice openness anyway. Developing this energy of openness will help you facilitate iterations that may lead to lasting relationships.

Be happy.

Perhaps the most important secret of this list is to be happy. Everyone wants to be around happy people; happiness is magnetic. So focus your energy on thinking about and doing the things that make you happy.
