How to Sell Online

Is Shipping Stopping You?


Listen Later

Way too many people think that running an e-commerce business or an online store or any type of online business that ships out a physical product is virtually impossible. Maybe that's you. You're thinking that starting an online business means you have to be right there, touching the product, packing and shipping it. Well, you actually don't have to ship them out yourself at all.

I've been shipping products out for over nine years, and for pretty much all that time, I haven't personally packed or shipped any products.

I know how to do it - shipping, that is. I just choose not to. I realized that the secret to selling more is hiring that part out so that I can concentrate on growing my business and marketing my products.

In this episode, you’ll be getting my tips on how to create the online store while you can live the lifestyle you choose and the place you want, the place you need or the place that you have to be. Stay tuned.
