Feature Article:
Cut Out The Middle Man For Maximum
Profits
Copyright 2003 by Willie Crawford
We all know the secret to saving big money when
buying something in the
off-line world is buying
it wholesale. We know that the more hands an
item
passes through on the way to us, the more it's
going to cost.
Everybody involved in the process
has to mark the item up in order to cover
their
expenses and give themselves a little profit.
Any layers that can be trimmed in the process
of getting an item or
service to the consumer
lowers the final cost to the consumer. That's
why
I am a member of "Sam's Club." I can buy
many items I use every day at
near wholesale
prices. I am a member of many other buying
clubs for
the same reason.
I'm sure many of you look at the cost of goods
and services on-line and
wonder if you can 't
reduce the price by getting them wholesale too.
You
wonder if you can't cut out the middleman.
The answer to that question is
often yes, but
the path is filled with dangers.
What is keeping you - and me - from buying more
things wholesale
on-line? When I look at a services
such a domain registration or web
hosting, the
answer is either ignorance or fear. I'm
very
comfortable with my current web hosting arrangement
for example. I
get very dependable service and a
price I am happy with. Yet, like many
of you,
I often wonder if I shouldn't be using a cheaper
service.
Actually, I know that I can host domains on my
own dedicated server for as
little as $1 each per
month, and in some places for much less. I
know
this because I've been contacted by big
web hosting wholesalers.
However, this is not
an area I want to venture into at this time.
An
acceptable reason for me right now is that I don't
want to get involved
in the technical end of things.
I have a friend in the hosting business and
he
thinks it's a nightmare at times. All of the
customer service
calls for his bargain hosting
drives him crazy.

If you are observant, you soon notice that you
really could probably
become a supplier rather
than a consumer for just about any product
or
service that you regularly consume. There are
"barriers to entry" but
they are not that great.
YOU actually could open your own company
providing
many of the services you use every day in your
on-line
business. If that interests you, it's
just a matter of doing a little
research. You
also need a "little" capital to get started.
But what if you just want to feel more in control
of your web
business. What if you have that
nagging feeling that if you knew a
little more
about the way things worked, you could cut your
operating
expenses by 50 - 70%? Is that possible?
Yes, it is. You just need
to know where to look
to uncover the facts that your current
suppliers
certainly aren't going to encourage your to look
for. You
need to get over your fear of a little
technology too, since cutting out the
middlemen
does often require you to understand how things
work.
Why am I rambling on and on about how you can
take charge of your business
and cut out the
middleman? Partly because I've recently
started
doing more and more of this. I also wanted to
tell you about a
workshop my friend Fred is
conducting on this very topic. Fred has to
be
irritating a lot of people, because he teaches you
exactly how to
become your own web host, handle
your own domain registrations, and generally
take
responsibility for the things that your business
survival depends
upon.
Take a moment now and read some of the things Fred
shares with you!
You'll probably discover a whole
new world that you never gave much thought
to. Don't
miss out on this:
<a href="http://williecrawford.com/cgi-bin/tk.cgi?fred">
http://williecrawford.com/cgi-bin/tk.cgi?fred
</a>
It's virtually impossible for you not to benefit
from having read this
article and investigating Fred.
That's because from this day forward, you
will
always wonder if you could, and if you should be
getting a better
price when you buy products on-line.
Asking questions like this and then
taking the
appropriate action is one of the things that will
allow you
to break out of the "pack." At least
realize today, that the on-line
world really is no
different than the off-line world, and that there
are
ways to buy the goods and services you need
wholesale. Then your job
becomes to discover how.
I've shown you one answer :-)
