Do Your Online Brokerage Business With Zero Down

November 27th, 2007

Tip! Even with the large number of hitches that the online brokerage industry has been in focus for, there is still a large growth in the number of people that would rather trade online. This calls for a stronger conviction of imposing stricter policies on the online brokerage industry from SEC.

If you have little or no capital but you want to do big international business; if your small business is not doing so well; or your capital is low, why don’t you turn to the Internet? The Internet is the fastest and most efficient method for the newcomer and the struggling businessperson to become an international broker of goods and services.

To start, you may order directories of importers; but they are not absolutely necessary: importers can be found on the business portals too.

My favourite importer’s directories are Interdata’s International Directory of Importers, and of Agents, Distributors and Wholesalers. (Visit Interdata online: http://www.export-leads.com). Both feature firms worldwide with company information, contact person, telephone and fax numbers, email address, products handled, bank reference, and much more. With the purchase of a directory, you receive a year’s free subscription to an internet site giving you access to global export sales leads.

Since you will conduct your business on the Internet, an email address and Internet connection are a must. If you don’t yet have an email address, you can get one for free from popular sites such as hotmail (Visit Hotmail online: http://www.hotmail.com) and yahoo (Visit Yahoo online: http://www.yahoo.com). I prefer yahoo because one gets 1 GB of storage space. That is ideal for your business considering the amount of messages and attachments you will receive. As for an Internet connection, if you cannot afford it, libraries give you free access to theirs simply by possessing their cards. A telephone is also necessary and a fax number will be an advantage. If you can have a website, that will be a big plus.

Now to the nerve of your business: making contacts with importers, agents, distributors and wholesalers and getting suppliers on the business to business (B2B) portals. Your importer’s directories will allow you to contact prospects in your country or area. It is better to start with businesses nearby before broadening out. If your presentation is professional, you should receive positive answers. B2B portals like alibaba, indiamart, ec21 and bidmix will enable you contact suppliers worldwide. (Visit them online respectively at http://www.alibaba.com, http://www.indiamart.com, http://www.ec21.com, and http://www.bidmix.com). They are free to join and their marketing tools can help you promote your business online.

Tip! Buying boats could be confusing for those people who do not have ample information on the various boats sold in the market. Buying a boat, especially for first time buyers may pose difficulty in settling on which boat features and/or price are the best for purchase; thus, employing the aid of a broker makes all the intricacies of buying a boat a whole lot easier for the brokerage boats buyer.

Let’s use alibaba to explain the system. Open the homepage www.alibaba.com. Click on the link Join Free and supply your details. Submit and you become a member of what Forbes Magazine and Alexa.com respectively rank as “Best of the Web” and “N
