How to Get Started in Import Export Business

So how can one get involved in import export business?

One: You can start an import export business using your own money

Most people think of getting involved buying product overseas with their own money, on their own account. This is the most logical and preferred way for most. Buy a product, pay for it, take title to the goods, import your purchases into the country you want to sell them in, sell them, and do it all over again.

Two: Import export agent - putting buyers and sellers together

If you are familiar with a particular country, especially if you have been there numerous times and may already know what is manufactured there and where to find suppliers of those products, you can offer your knowledge to others. If for example you have been to Thailand many times, may had lived there before, and know the Thai product, you can approach a retail store buyer in the United States, in the city where you live or elsewhere, and offer to be his buyer, especially if he carries products from Thailand. In this case the US-based retailer may hire you to place an order on a product he sells from Thailand. You will order the product in Thailand, put the shipment together, pay for the product not with your money but with his money, and ship the good to his store in the United States, with his store's name as the consignee on the shipping documents. For your services the US-base retailer-importer will pay you agreed upon commission. The amount of the commission is negotiable, not a fixed percentage. The amount may depend on the amount of your time you'll put into putting the shipment together, your overhead associated with the export side of the process, expenses you will incur at the country of origin, needing to travel back and forth to the manufacturer's factory or dealing with the export shipping company. The retailer will be the importer, he will pay not only for the goods but for the cost of preparation of the export documents, packing and actual international freight from country of origin, Thailand, to destination, wherever may be his store or warehouse. Your commission may be a percentage of the total invoice value or a negotiated amount between the two of you. Under this scenario you are using other people's money but your expertise. You can get started tomorrow. Obviously if you have never been to Thailand you may not want to offer your services as import export agent of Thai products.

There are two basic variants of this involvement. One described above where your commission is paid by the importer on whose behalf you have worked. Similarly, however, while you are in Thailand, a Thai manufacturer may offer you a sample of his product to introduce to prospective buyers in the United States. In this case you may return from your last trip to Thailand as Manufacturer's Representative - perhaps not with an exclusive contract to represent his products in the United States but with the understanding that should you find buyer for his product who may want to place an order, he, the Thai-based manufacturer will pay you an agreed upon commission on the shipment.

From these two examples it is clear that you can work with other people's money, not just your own, putting buyers and sellers together where commissions may be paid to you by either or both of the parties, the buyer as well as the seller and the method constitutes the easiest way to get started in import export business.

Three: Import Export Sourcing Agent

You can work as an independent import export sourcing contractor, an involvement in import export business that is very much in the same category as described above, but with more responsibilities in the entire import export process. Say for example a clothing store in the United States will hire you to find a manufacturer in Bali, Indonesia that could manufacture garments based on their product design specifications. Armed with drawings of product given to you by the retailer you'd source more than one prospective manufacturer in Bali to prepare samples of product to be eventually ordered by the retailer in quantity. Each manufacturer would prepare the sample as well as a quote sheet showing quantity discounts and delivery time. The retailer would select one of the suppliers you had sourced based on product quality, price and delivery time, and then ask you to award the contract to that supplier. You would then have to oversee production, quality control, preparation of documents and pay for the goods with the retailer's money, not you with yours, who would become the actual importer and consignee on the shipping documents. As above, you would get paid by the retailer-importer on commission basis, plus expenses as well as possibly be kept on a retainer to be available next time.

Four: Export Shipment Broker

Last is an example that is based once again on using other people's money to put buyers and sellers together. In this example a manufacturer in Thailand is offering a container load of a product, for example toys. The shipment is ready to be shipped, and must be bought as is, whatever the qualities of each item style inside. The shipment may be assorted, and it may contain some attractive products but also some less marginal ones, perhaps even seconds, or discontinued products. The manufacturer-exporter is looking for a buyer. You are an agent that knows who may be interested, who are the buyers for these type of products. It could be a store in Miami, Florida or in Berlin, Germany, or in any other country that you know buyers in for this type of product. You provide samples from the seller-exporter to the buyer-importer. If the buyer agrees to buy the container at the agreed upon price, you may handle the whole sale transaction on what could be a back-to-back letter of credit using your bank in Denver, or wherever you are located. The buyer in Berlin pays you by a L/C in the amount of $40,000 and once the funds clear your bank, your bank cuts an L/C in the amount of $30,000 to the seller's bank in Thailand and you pocket the difference less bank expenses. The container goes from Thailand to Berlin, Germany, not via the United States - you never take title to the goods. You only connect the seller with the buyer and broker the deal. Needless to say the export shipment can be brokered by countless number of other brokers who will come across the export offer by the manufacture-exporter located in Thailand.

7 Money Mistakes We Make Every Day

For all the financial advice we find in books, magazines, and online, we still make a lot of mistakes when it comes to money. Some of these mistakes might not cost us much, but others can cost us a small fortune. And even the small mistakes, multiplied over a lifetime, can add up to a princely sum.
In the hope that we can make better financial decisions, here is a list of some of the common money mistakes many of us make every day:
1. Buying expensive mutual funds: Do you know how much you pay for the mutual funds in your retirement account? If you don't know, you're not alone. Mutual fund companies don't send out monthly or quarterly bills. Instead, they quietly deduct their fees from the returns on your investments. These fees, quoted as an expense ratio (a 1 percent fee means you are paying 1 percent of your account balance in fees each year), add up to thousands of dollars over a lifetime of investing. To see just how much you are paying, use a free service such as Morningstar.com to track the actual expense of your mutual funds and ETFs. You can track your portfolio for free on Morningstar, including the total cost of your investments.

2. Neglecting credit scores: Credit scores have a major impact on our financial lives. An excellent credit score results in lower interest rates on mortgages, car loans, and credit cards. It also results in lower insurance premiums. But many do not know their credit score or how their financial decisions shape their score. The first step is to regularly review your credit report, which is available for free from annualcreditreport.com. You can get your report from each of the three major credit bureaus for free once a year. Checking each report for errors can not only improve your credit score, but also help guard against identity theft. While your report will not include your credit score, there are several options to obtain your credit score for free or at a low cost.
3. Equating monthly payments with affordability: Far too many of us decide whether we can afford something based on whether we can manage the monthly payment. This is particularly true for homes, cars, and furniture. But just because we can handle a payment does not mean we can truly afford something. Monthly payments also ignore the true cost of ownership. A car, for example, costs a lot more than the monthly payment when you consider insurance, gas, repairs and maintenance. Instead of focusing on the monthly payment, separate needs from wants and evaluate how you might better use the money. If you still have consumer debt, for example, consider paying the debt off before buying something that will commit you to future monthly payments for potentially years to come.
4. Overpaying on a mortgage: Reducing a mortgage by even 1 percent can result in substantial savings. Whether because of falling mortgage rates, which are at historic lows, or an improved credit score, many may be able to save thousands of dollars over the life of their home loan by refinancing. Yet for various reasons, many have not taken advantage of falling rates. Even if you have a low rate now, check current mortgage rates to see if you can do better. In some cases, a savings of just 1% or less can justify the cost of refinancing.
5. Missing good deals online: Thanks to the Internet, you can find deals, coupons and promo codes on just about anything. And many retailers offer additional discounts if you buy online. From cell phones to home improvement, the savings can be substantial, and shopping online is often far more convenient than driving around town and waiting in lines. The problem is that we often make purchases completely unaware that these deals exist. To find these deals, search online for coupons before you make significant purchases and bookmark coupon sites such as Retailmenot.com and Fatwallet.com, which regularly update the latest offers from popular retailers.
6. Overpaying taxes: A big tax refund can be a source of much needed cash each year. But a tax refund is the result of having too much tax withheld from your paycheck, which gives the government an interest free loan with your money. Instead of letting the government hold on to your money for up to a year, adjust your withholdings so you can pocket your money now. The goal should be to match your withholdings as close as possible to your tax liability.

7. Making minimum payments on credit cards: Even low interest credit cards charge a high interest rate. As a result, making the minimum payment on credit card debt will add a lot of interest to your total payments over the life of that debt. Making just the minimum payment also extends the time it takes to pay of the debt by many years. Rather than making just the minimum payment, commit to paying more than the minimum, even if by just a few dollars. Allocate some or all of your next raise to your credit card payments, and reexamine your budget in an effort to increase the payment as much as possible.

Marketing

Marketing is the process by which companies determine what products or services may be of interest to customers, and the strategy to use in sales, communications and business development.[1]  It is an integrated process through which companies create value for customers and build strong customer relationships in order to capture value from customers in return.[1]

Marketing is used to identify the customer, to keep the customer, and to satisfy the customer. With the customer as the focus of its activities, it can be concluded that marketing management is one of the major components of business management. The evolution of marketing was caused due to mature markets and overcapacities in the last 2-3 centuries.[citation needed] Companies then shifted the focus from production to the customer in order to stay profitable.[citation needed]

The term marketing concept holds that achieving organizational goals depends on knowing the needs and wants of target markets and delivering the desired satisfactions.[2] It proposes that in order to satisfy its organizational objectives, an organization should anticipate the needs and wants of consumers and satisfy these more effectively than competitors.[2]

Adsense Empire-Lesson 7

Lesson 7

In this final lesson I want to share with you some extra tips for getting the best results from your Adsense endeavors.

1) When you are running an Ad Sense campaign, it is important to make sure that you are testing all of the different possibilities to make sure that you are getting the highest click through rate. Try to test different layouts on different pages to see what works the best. To achieve proper result from your test it is important to use pages that receive similar amounts of traffic.

2) Although testing is necessity, there are certain areas for your ads that are thought to be more likely to encourage a higher CTR's than others. For instance, above the page footer, below the header or navigation bar or on the top left hand side of your page are thought to be very good. Typically the area in the middle above the main content is thought to be best.

3) Take the time to provide quality content and make regular updates to your site to help ensure you a steady flow of traffic to your website. This will help you receive more ad impressions and more clicks.

4) Keep in mind that visitors can enter your website through a number of different pages. So it is a good idea to incorporate Adsense on as many pages of your website as possible. This will increase your overall impressions and hopefully your earnings.

5) Be sure to test the shape, size and color of your ad blocks. You can control and customize every aspect of the ads so that they blend in with or stand out from the rest of the content on your website.

6) Test the positioning of your ad blocks to help insure maximum click through rates. Test different positions on different pages to see which layout achieves the highest CTR. This will help you discover which areas of your pages that your visitors are attracted to. Finding the proper position for your ad blocks will be a key factor in your overall earnings.

7) Using different ad formats will provide different results for different websites. For instance in most cases the wider ad formats like the large rectangles have been proven to yield a higher CTR and be more effective than the slimmer skyscrapers and banner formats. However, this may not be the case for your website - that is
why it is so important to test your results.

8) When you are trying to target specific keyword to attract a higher quality Google ad for your site make sure that the keyword is repeated enough in the page so that Adsense knows exactly what the page is about. Be careful though. You want to make sure that the content still makes sense and is useful. Remember Google takes many different aspects in to consideration while serving ads.

9) When Google has no ads to display on you site they will automatically show PSA's (public service ads). If you don't want the PSA's to show on your site you can choose to have the ad block filled in with a solid color, your own graphic or use the collapsing ad units code instead.

10) Don't panic if you don't see any ads displaying on your new pages. It can take a few hours before Google’s web crawlers find pages that have Adsense code on them. You might see some PSA's at first but these will soon get replaced with targeted Adsense ads that will earn revenue for you. If you continue to see PSA's after the first day or two you may want to make sure you didn't violate any of the Adsense program’s policies.

I sure hope you have enjoyed and learned a lot from these lessons. There is so much information available about Google Adsense and although I couldn't cover everything in this short report, I hope I have given you enough information to get you started in the right direction.

Adsense Empire-Lesson 6

Lesson 6

Do you remember in the beginning of this course when I said that Adsense wants you to be successful with their program? Well it's true! They have provided you with most of the tools you will need to make your Adsense business a success.

Tools like reports that you can use to track the performance of your ads. You will find all of the stats from your campaigns under the reports tab inside your Adsense account. There you will be able to learn things like the total number of clicks and impressions for all of your ad units\blocks. You will also be able to view your
effective CPM (cost per thousand impressions). Let me take a minute to clarify CTR's and CPM's for you.
The CTR (click through rate) for Adsense is the total number of clicks that you receive for your ad  units\blocks. It's broken down by individual ad units. The number of clicks is then divided by the total number impressions for that unit to return your CTR. The higher your CTR's the more revenue for you.

The CPM (cost per 1000 impressions) effective CPM is calculated by dividing your earnings by the total number of page impressions that you receive, and then multiplying the final figure by 1000. Be careful not to confuse your effective CPM with your earnings. Effective CPM is generally used for testing various channels to find out which ones are performing the best. If you need to know more about CTR's and CPM's login to your account and check out the help files.

The reports can be displayed several different ways. You can view them by the day, week, month or since your last pay check. You can also search for a specific date range. You can customize the reports for advanced performance and tracking by setting up different channels for more in depth results. For instance you can set up channels to test one page against another, one ad format verses another, keywords, or even whole websites to see which one performs the best. There are so many options available with channels that we can't go into them all, but I'm sure you get the idea!

You can also download your reports in CSV format (comma separated values format) for better record keeping. Plus get your reports emailed to you automatically so you don't have to login. Adsense usually  updates the stats every hour, so you can be pretty sure that you are getting up to date reports.
