The Online Wholesale Drop Ship Leader


At age 55 I faced a devastating divorce and the possibility of losing my home. I knew I needed to bring in additional money to supplement my now-single income.

After three months... I became an eBay PowerSeller. You should see the looks I get from friends and family when I mention this to them!

I'm using the [Doba] warehouses ... and am delighted with the opportunity to offer a larger selection of items to customers.

I've been on two vacations this year and was able to manage all sales just using the local library computers. That's how easy this system works!!! One of the weeks that I was on vacation I sold over $600!

Doba is the new Wholesale Marketer

As you've probably noticed, last month Wholesale Marketer moved all of its services to Doba. This move comes as the result of many things, the biggest reason being our desire to simplify.

Previously, Wholesale Marketer and its mother company, Doba, appeared as separate entities. In order to simplify the lives of everybody involved, including those of our members, we decided to roll everything up into Doba.

For a few weeks as we work out the problems inherit to a large migrational project like this, it may seem as if things are anything but simple. But in time, we know that you'll come to agree that things really are better at Doba.

In addition to the name change, we have added, and will continue to add in the future, new services and features to make your life easier and better. Keep an eye out for those in the coming months.

We thank you for your continuing support as we continue to strive toward being the ultimate product-sourcing solution.


Alexa Toolbar: A Valuable Marketing Tool

All good marketing requires a great deal of market research. Alexa is an excellent tool to use when researching your competitors, looking at traffic trends, or just surfing the web.

With over 12 million users, the Alexa traffic rankings represent the largest and most global sample of internet usage available in the world. With the Alexa toolbar installed, you can instantly see any website's Alexa traffic ranking which is a representation of the amount of internet traffic (visitors) that site receives.

As Alexa puts it: The Alexa Toolbar is a free search and navigation companion that accompanies you as you surf, providing useful information about the sites you visit without interrupting your Web browsing. It also acts as a popup blocker, search engine, dictionary, and much more.

The free Alexa Toolbar has been the choice of smart surfers everywhere for over eight years. The Alexa Toolbar provides instant access to Web Search, Related Links, Site Stats, and Contact Info for all the sites you visit! Not only that, you're just a click away from more information like traffic trends and 3rd party site reviews.

Alexa also offers several tools for webmasters to monitor their own sites and drive even more traffic to their sites, and of course, "Traffic on the Internet means customers coming to your Web site and customers equal money. It's as simple as that." (Quoted from Mark Lewin, Chairman of Paxfire Inc)
