School resumed a few weeks ago and I have been thinking of how I am going to be getting extra cash.
It’s not going to be easy combining a lot of hairstyling jobs together with school work and then money I get from home won’t be enough because there are a lot of expenses in this school.
I think now would be the right time to go back to my e-commerce job. Seeing as this won’t take a lot of my time and all I need to do is just check my emails a few times a day, confirm the order and forward the mail to the right person.
It’s not going to be much of a hassle like hairstyling. Not that hairstyling is a problem just that e-commerce won’t take as much time as hairstyling would.
I got to know about e-commerce through someone’s status on WhatsApp. I have always been seeing it but I just didn’t pay much attention to it.
So he created a very tempting order in his status for the first 20 people to reply to that offer.
I messaged him and he made me an offer, set everything up for me including building a website and then boom I started making money.
Now, how e-commerce works is this. After creating a website, you look for a hot selling product online and create an ad around that product.
A video ad would be created. After that, a write up containing the details of whatever product you choose to sell including the price at which you want to sell that particular product would be attached to the video.
And then a link to your website would also be added.
Most times, what makes a potential customer buy your product is the kind of offer you create. The kind of offer that makes them feel like they’re cheating you.
And then often times it’s pay in delivery. So they’re at ease. Since the fear of been scammed has been removed.
For example ; buy one get one free or buy this and get this. Just make sure the offer you create doesn’t put you into debt.
This is just all the hard work. Once this is all settled the rest is stress free.
Once everything has been set up, you just need to rest and check your mails for orders.
I used Facebook and I pay for ads everyday. So once anyone is interested in my product, they click the link, it directs them to my website, they answer the questions there, submit and then I get a notification in my email.
I don’t need to have the product physically, I just have to know someone that does. I’m what people call a drop shipper.
Whatever order I get, I forward the details to the seller, he delivers the product collects the money and sends me my share.
That’s all. I don’t have to do much. Just check my mails and forward the details to the seller and get my money.
On some days you can get a lot of orders and as you know everyday isn’t Christmas, other days there might be small or none at all but most of all it’s a great passive income.
Because you can be doing other things while still doing business and making money.
I did it for a few months but had to stop due to some reasons but now that I don’t have a lot of time for my hairstyling job I think this is the perfect time to go back to drop shipping.
Ps: the parts I covered are personal information about the customer.
Yes e-commerce can be risky but what’s business without taking risks 💁🏾♀️💁🏾♀️
