    You could get into dropshipping - but I wouldn't bother for those two categories because they are extremely saturated.

    Hi Punet,

    I'm not sure in which country you are based, but here in the UK selling new mobiles phones as part of your own business requires extra VAT checks and can be more hassle than it is worth. I suggest you sign up to something like tradedoubler and join affiliate programs from there. I'd recommend joining one that has a live feed or at least an xml feed so you don't have to spend hours and hours making deeplinks . . .

    then you can spend time optimizing your site for keywords/phrases. Good luck with your chosen catergories though. As markn26 says, it's a very competitive area.

    Being from a third world country, i can safely tell you it's not a good idea to get into this side of the marketing venture, if you are going for local and have your own agreement with customs when it comes to imports related to refurbished or rehashed computers or parts for that matter then you could probably setup a local portal in order to develop and market your products without much of a hassle =]

    well, you can do drop shipping but what are you target customers? The profits margin for drop shipping electronics isn't that great since the price drops significantly after a brand new product launch and also if you are selling branded products the selling are basically the same everywhere... so if I were you I will choose something like garment or clothes

    Garment clothing perfumes etc, these things take time to work out because in this case the quality is quite visible =] So you need to make sure that if you DO decide to go into the drop shipping foray you ought to know what and how to sell properly =]

    There are a lot of elements that needs to be considered... Your target customers, shipping, taxes, payments, warrenty etc...

    You may not be able to ship electronics internationally and or to some countries...

    If you are looking for international shipping, i'd suggest you to start with dropshipping... for domestic, its fairly simple by lauching a online store
