Drop Shipping and Affiliate Marketing.

Many might laugh at me, but the first time I heard about affiliate marketing is on Tik Tok. There's always a couple of things that would come up on my 'for you' page that tried to teach me how to do it in sixty seconds but were of no interest to me at all. After reading about it and learning what these two concepts were, I have a better understanding of the idea. Dropshipping takes a little more work, but you don't have to deal directly with your customers; they buy the product, and the supplier packages and ships the product to your customer; other than returns, you probably wouldn't have to deal with the customer at all. Affiliate marketing gives you a link that takes customers to the other person's page, and you get a commission for sending people in that direction. These ideas are entirely new to me and excellent for various types of businesses. I don't think I could drop shipping work for my business concept, but if I got famous and people like my chocolate dipped treats, maybe affiliate marketing would work?

I have been working on the web business matrix this week and thought I had it down. Still, I need to change some of the ideas that I had listed on my brainstorming list as they yielded no results on the google ads information area and changed my results depending on where I wanted to focus my efforts. I watched my instructor's video with tips that would help to complete the project and came away thinking I needed to get some better business ideas down, so I started over. The practice can change things, and I enjoyed using the information given through google ads to find the best product for your web business. My results showed that I should choose the sugar scrubs idea, but I decided to keep going with the idea of the dried fruit that I like to dip in chocolate. The product is excellent, and I have tested it by selling it to friends and family. I am researching the ideas and products that will help me send my product through the mail to different parts of the country without melting the chocolate. I'm still waiting on one product that you can wrap the dipped fruit in, and it will keep it cool with an ice pack in there as well.

I look forward to learning the many different business ideas this class will share with me moving forward and developing a profitable web business online.
