Hajiaposh educates public on benefits of dropshipping

Madam Hajiaposh, real name Kausar Abdulai has outlined some popular and needed lessons for starters who are interested in joining the business trade of dropshipping or drop ship to enable them grow to the better stage in their business operation.

The business mogul who describes dropshipping as a type of fulfillment for retail orders says it has become the new trend for online business owners.

According to her, dropshipping is very convenient and it allows one person to save money, as no need to rent space to store products or pay full postal rates for shipping.

The New Publisher caught up with madam Kausar last Monday to share in her education to the public:

Publisher: What’s the risk with dropshipping ?

Kausar: You take almost no risk. Unlike other business models, dropshipping carries much less risk and costs less. Fear is the reason why many people avoid starting their own business.

Of course, everybody understands the benefits of being self-employed and independent. Still, it is not easy for all of us to jump at the opportunity when it arises. Launching a business often costs a lot of money. And even if you have the money, there’s no guarantee your enterprise will pay off but dropshipping is different. It requires much less investment to start, and this is one of the most important benefits of dropshipping.

First, you don’t need thousands of dollars to create and launch a dropshipping website. Second, there’s no need to manufacture goods you are going to sell. As a dropshipper, you are going to resell products made and distributed by other companies. And finally, you won’t need to buy products in large quantities and rent a warehouse to stock them, so you will face no inventory issues.

In dropshipping, you buy a particular item only after you get customer orders. After that, your suppliers ship the products directly to the customers. Therefore, you spend money on goods and shipping only after you get paid.

This is why dropshipping gets so popular. Nowadays, it is basically the only type of ecommerce business that can bring you solid profits even if you had really low upfront expenses. Plus, you can safely enjoy this business model and have no fear of any risk factors.

Certainly, you do need a certain budget to start a dropshipping business. But it’s nothing compared to what you need to launch a traditional online store. If you fail, you won’t lose a fortune. And if you succeed, you can make thousands of dollars or resell your store eventually.

Publisher: Do you need to turn dropshipping into a full-time job?

Kausar: You don’t have to spend all your free time on this type of business. Time and energy are additional factors that typically hold people back.

For a person that doesn’t have tons of free time, it’s not easy (and sometimes even impossible) to find any internal resources and put them into business research and setup.

Dropshipping, in turn, doesn’t require that you invest all your time and efforts in store management. You won’t have to quit your job or dedicate all your free time to this business. It works quite the opposite way.

With dozens of automated solutions, you can complete the majority of tasks automatically and save enough time for the things that require your personal attention and individual approach (most importantly, customer relations management). Most people who don’t want to quit their jobs or dedicate too much time to business really appreciate these dropshipping benefits.

Publisher: Can one turn dropshipping into a hobby and make income out of it:

Kausar: YES. One can do that. Among all the benefits of dropshipping, this one is the most romantic. Dropshipping is the business that helps you live your teenage dream. If you’ve always wanted to explore space, or become a rock star, or live in a well-known universe, nothing holds you back from starting a dropshipping store on related topics.

The same is true for your current hobbies that you love and enjoy. If you like sewing, or dedicate your evenings to drawing, or adore pets’ grooming and training, you can definitely create a store aimed at like-minded people with the same interests.

You work with something you’re really passionate about, so you are highly motivated to keep going even if something doesn’t work out at the beginning.

The niche is familiar, clear, and understandable for you. So it’s easy for you to pick the most appealing items for your store and follow the most recent and relevant market trends.

You know what your clients might want. You can professionally describe your items’ features to them, and offer a suitable alternative if necessary.

It’s easy for you to create a nice and supportive atmosphere in your store and in social networks you run for it. This way, the store visitors will know you are an expert in your business, so they will trust you much more.

Isn’t it awesome to run a business in the sphere you like, and use it to escape from everyday routine while making some lovely profits? There are other benefits of dropshipping as well.

Publisher: Can people still join or it’s too late for them?

Kausar: The dropshipping industry isn’t oversaturated yet, so there’s still room for everyone. Actually, the dropshipping business now stays at a really curious point of its life cycle.

On the one hand, it’s quite mature already. Successful entrepreneurs share their business stories, so you can take a look at some real-life examples and understand what you can expect from dropshipping and what its potential is.

On the other hand, this business field is not oversaturated yet. As for now, this model is mostly tried by people from well-developed countries with unlimited access to the internet. This is why it’s safe to say that dropshipping still has a huge potential for growth, especially in emerging countries. And this is why it’s so important to get involved in business NOW.

Technologies get more and more advanced every month, and people from every region on the globe will soon get the technical opportunity to start dropshipping. It’s wise to take your spot before the competition gets overwhelming, right?

Publisher: Can dropshipping teach the youth some useful skills

Kausar: In addition to other benefits of dropshipping, you will learn a lot of valuable skills. Even if you decide to quit this business sometime, you won’t be left empty-handed. Apart from all the money you’ve earned, you’ll have something even more valuable: knowledge and experience.

When you do dropshipping, you eventually get a bunch of priceless skills that can come in handy for your regular full-time job. These skills include social networks management, digital marketing in general, customer relations management, webstore performance analytics, and many others.

In the nowadays world where technologies and services are developing rapidly, these skills give you a substantial competitive advantage and prove you’re a knowledgeable specialist.

Besides, running a dropshipping store has much in common with running regular online stores. In other words, dropshipping can teach you skills required to launch a traditional ecommerce business if this is where you want to move to. And this leads us to another benefit of dropshipping.
