DropShip Code - Article Marketing

The DropShip Code has a nice section on how to market your ebusiness by writing articles and then submitting them to popular ezines. So far I've written about ten articles and have been submitting them to ezinearticles and other popular article sites.

The system has a nice section that covers the importance of article marketing. I'm not sure how much direct traffic I will get from them but I think the backlinks will help out with my pagerank and seo.

Overall my sales continue to climb and I continue to follow the system to the T. I have increased my marketing budget and refined my PPC campaigns to narrow down what is converting the best. The increase in budget has led to a direct increase in my bottom line, which should be around $10k this month.

I'm very please with my purchase and have decided to contact the author of the book. He was very curteous and helped me out with a few questions. The site is http://www.dropshipcode.com

Using DropShip Code - Amazon & Ebay Setup

I was able to get my entire store built on eBay today by utilizing their Turbo Lister software. The DropShip Code doesn't have a guide for using Turbo Lister but it was fairly straightforward if you know how to use MS Excel. I did a bulk update. The pictures took the longest but I had a helping hand so it went pretty quickly.

The Amazon store went up in about 2 hours as well. The DropShip Code has a decent guide on how to do this. You utilize excel to bulk upload all of your products.

On both of these sales channels I lowered my prices on my products to be more competitive. This was also fairly easy because I used excel formulas to discount about 10% or so. Overall, I added about 3000 of my products to both of these sales channels.

I am still very impressed with the DropShip Code and was surprised how easy it was to get these two stores setup. If Amazon and eBay produce well I will be hiring my first employee.

I continually recommend the Dropship code to my friends and family since it has had such a great impact on my life. The site is http://www.dropshipcode.com.

I will keep every one updated as I continue to use all of the methods from the book.

More Review of the DropShip Code

Today I started implementing my search engine optimization campaign as outlined in the DropShip Code.

It takes you through all the steps to post on blogs, articles sites and more. It includes a nice list of where you can write articles and get quality back links to your site. We will see how this works.

I have also decided to follow the steps in the books that help you create an eBay and Amazon store. I am interested to see if these sales channels will increase my sales and profit. I will have to discount my items somewhat to sell on these sites but that is not a problem.

The great thing about using amazon and ebay is that your costs are set. Whereas, in a PPC campaign your costs can vary dramatically.

I have had great success with the DropShip Code and will continue to update this blog on my progress with the system.
