Worldwide Brands - My story.

I met Rob Cowie, President of Worldwide Brands, at eBay Live! in San Jose a few years ago. I moderated a product sourcing panel and met three really nice people. Rob, Lisa Suttora of WhatDoISell.com, and Jeremy Hanks of Doba. I have since been impressed at the integrity of all three of these people, and I recommend all three of these companies as great sources of information for product sourcing.

How I Used Worldwide Brands

After meeting Rob, and eventually WWB founder, Chris Malta as well, I got an account with Worldwide Brands. I have sold posters on eBay for years. I wanted to expand though, and I used Worldwide Brands to do it...

First, let me correct some misconceptions I have seen regarding their product. They are not a middleman type company providing a catalog of products. In that situation, sellers find themselves competing with other members selling from the exact same catalog. It's a terrible feeling.

Worldwide Brands helps people interested in sourcing product by approaching the right people, and qualifying them to work with small sellers. Many large companies will not work with small eBay or Amazon sellers, which makes it difficult to get product to sell. Worldwide Brands builds relationships with these companies, collects them into a directory, and makes that directory available to members. They charge a one-time payment for this access. When I've called any one of the companies in the directory, they have been willing to work with me. I've set up my own deal with them, my own prices, and then I deal with them on my own. No middle man.

...now back to my story. I wanted to find a poster company that would drop ship. I searched on the Worldwide Brands directory and found a few. The one I finally chose was Barewalls.com. We spoke on the phone, and came up with a deal of 40% commission for any products I sold. Some of these posters sold for $100 on eBay, so we're talking a decent profit for never touching the merchandise.

I sold hundreds of posters through Barewalls. I just don't have the time to do it any more. They are just one of the great companies in Worldwide Brands directory. The possibilities are endless.

What about Amazon sellers?

Worldwide Brands puts you in touch with thousands of suppliers offering millions of items. You can work with those suppliers to sell on Amazon as well. Just remember Amazon requires items to ship within two business days of the sale. If you can either stock the product, or find a drop shipper that will agree to those terms, you have an entirely different set of buyers that hasn't been sold to yet.

Is this a good time to start selling online? What about the economy?

The job market is shaky. The mortgage meltdown is causing thousands of people to lose their homes. Gas prices are insane and continue to creep up.

Turn on the news and you'll hear about it all day.

But hidden in all of the ' doom and gloom ' is something that few people are talking about. Even though we're in the middle of a recession, a lot of savvy eBiz owners have not only survived this economic downturn, they have thrived in it.

How did they do it?
