For five good long years I have been jobless, thanks to my own poor judgement and impulsive decision making. I actually quit my job thinking i would make big money in business, not knowing what misfortune awaited me ahead. The last four years have been the money painful and tragic years of my life. Indeed i did have some reservations, part of me knew that the plan may not work, but everything in me was screaming "quit the job". I spent a few sleepless nights thinking on whether to quit or not. The idea of staying on the job seemed horrible, and the thought of being free, working from the comfort of my own home was exhilarating.
Infact it must have taken me one week of active thinking on the matter until, finally, one night I drafted my letter of resignation on my blackberry phone while in bed and kept it as a draft email. The reasons I did that is that I could not sleep, I felt compelled to write it, as if there was a strong force pushing me to do it. Once i finished writing the letter, I felt intense relief, as if something heavy had left me.
Indeed I had issues at work, I rarely got along with anyone. Which up-to this day I know wasn't my fault, and yes it could have been my fault in a sense that people struggled to get along with me or my character. I am by all means a lovely and beautiful soul. However without any explanation I found it hard to be part of a team.
I worked hard at work and I delivered good results, that everybody appreciated, but there was one facet of me that no one could pin point, that made it difficult to be an effective team player. That led to frustration, anger, and at some moments and drama.
Long story short, there was a huge push factor and also a pull factor involved. Incidentally I was receiving offers from private clients offering me projects that I could do working from the luxury of my own home, without a boss ,colleagues and all the drama.
Fast forward, I tendered my notice and left. Now one week at home, the offers are not materializing, infant they don't really look as promising as they were the time I was at work. All hope started fading. I should mention that I could not receive the offers while still at work because of conflict of interest. Days, weeks, and months passed by. Not even one offer materialized,
Years went by, I tried this and that to make ends meet, nothing worked. It was hard to put food on the table, I think can write a book about the four years.
Ok, fast forward, after endless suffering and searching on the internet on how to make money online, I stumbled on Forex trading, I was so exited to discover it. It was very promising and came across very lucrative. One thing about Forex trading is that even the gurus are not really sure how the markets will behave (but very lucrative). It takes a lot of experience to master the Forex market. In the first few day I made money, and I think I became very emotional, greedy and addicted. Yes Forex can be very addictive.
Fast forward, after several attempts on how to make money online, tons of articles read on the internet and watching you tube videos, life became better for me. Since the begging of this year, that is after four years of trying to get back to work and trying to make money on internet. I finally set an online shop drop shipping products from Aliexpress (china) directly to the customers all over the world. I did not have to have capital to invest as the customers pay me before hand and I use the money to buy the goods. The items are shipped directly to them and I then pocket my profit. All it took was setting up an online store on https://wwww.shopify.com
Setting up an online shop with shopify is easy. First download your 14 days free trial on the link above. You can terminate before 14 days if you want, or you will be billed $29 on a basic plan every month for shopify to manage and host your shop online. Then watch you tube videos on how to set up your shop, there are gazillion videos on that.
However finding the right proffitable products to dropship is very daunting, It can take you days or even weeks until you find the right niche and products you can sell and make good profit. My advise if possible is to invest on a system that will do that hard job for you, which ishttps:www.salehoo.com.
Salehoo.com is an online wholesale and dropshipping directory, I find items for you are at wholesalers which you can sell at big mark ups by comparing their selling price on ebay and amazon. Dropshiping is not suitable on ebay and amazon due to high competition. These two platforms work well for sellers with good capital to buy in bulk and keep inventory, as buying in bulk means cheap prices. An online shop is the way to go, as you set you own price which is not gauged by other sellers. You are the only seller in your shop and you can make good markups. As a beginner you may not make money with the 14 days trial on Shopify, dont cancel your membership if you dont sell in 14 days, Be patient and learn, you will spent the first few week learning all aspects of your shop, from finding a niche to search engine optimization, all this does not happen in one day. Good luck if you will try this idea.
