Before we start off with the tips, here’s one suggestion, make it a point to follow the double-entry system. The significant advantage of such a system is that, two entries offset and verify each other and any possibility of mistake or fraud is ruled out. Essentially, this system, which was developed by Luca Pacioli is considered to be the perfect system to maintain the books of accounts, due to the two self-verifying entries. Apart from that, it is also not that difficult to execute.

1. Proper Books, Every Day
This is the first and the most important step in the bookkeeping process. Punctually maintaining proper books of accounts is in fact the first step of bookkeeping. It is wise to pass journal entries as soon as the transaction takes place. Now, you can select two types of ‘basis’ for the entries, they can be either cash entries, that is the entry is recorded in the books of accounts as the transaction takes place. In accrual basis, the entry is made before the transaction. When you maintain books of accounts, you can pass entries in the journal and then transfer all the entries to the ledger book, before the closing of the day. To simplify matters, you can maintain 5 more books:
•Cash Book (for cash transactions)
•Creditor-Debtor Book (recording all transactions done on credit or debt basis)
•Purchase Book (entries for purchase)
•Sales Book (entries for sale)
•Bank Book (transactions affecting bank accounts)
These books can be updated regularly, by first filling the journal and then passing the entries in the ledgers and the aforementioned books. Regularity in bookkeeping leads to enlightening accounting and further more, profit.

2. Periodic Balance Sheet
It is wise to prepare a balance sheet at short and regular intervals. One side will contain all liabilities including the current liabilities such as creditors. The second side shall contain all assets as of date and their market value. While preparing such between-the-year balance sheets, make it a point to include all accrual and market values. Such a balance sheet can be prepared at every weekend, after a quarter or after a 6-month period. Fact is, preparation of such a balance sheet always helps you to keep a better track of your financial status and that of the business. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Why Drop Shipping is Good?
There are certain heavy advantages in drop shipping. Use them wisely and you will have yourself a pretty serious source of income:
•You don’t need to actually possess any items or an inventory with you. All items are provided by the wholesale outlet. This means you don’t need to store any extra items with you, probably having to sell them off at discounted prices later.
•You don’t need to do the shipping either. This will be explained later in detail.
•You get sale credit for the product sold, if the main distributor chooses to stay out of the credit loop. Good publicity always gets more customers.
Starting Up
Here’s a checklist for you when you start up on your drop shipping business:
•Find out a good product. Search online sites that provide specific products. Choose the ones that you think sell best.
•Find out the wholesale provider for that product. You need to take care of the reputation of the distributor at this point. You can check their annual sales online along with their distributor locations and consumer ratings.
•Check the shipping options that the distributor may provide.
•Make an optional test run on the product if you still doubt the distributor. Buy a package for yourself and check the product to see if there is anything wrong with it.
•Start on your website design once you’re sure of the distributor and the shipping procedures. Make the deal with the distributor and then start working on your retail website. Bear in mind that you need to establish a firm deal with the distributor before you spend time and money on the website.
•Establish yourself as a corporation. This will not only protect you from name-grabbers, but it will also provide you with some great incentives if you do it from good corporate site management service providers.
Steps To Your First Sale
I’ll now explain the favorable scenario using the steps above:
•You found product X to be selling pretty well; decent numbers and in a steady pattern.
•You then check out the major distributors for that product. As you narrow down your search, eliminating other possible middle-men from the picture, you figure out the distributor you want to start dealing with.
•You approach the dealer, explaining them that you can help them make more sales if they allow you to be their retailer. This step needs to be done properly, if you want your name and your company’s logo on the product package. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Dockyard Warehouses
These warehouses are located within the premises of shipping docks or in close proximity of coastal cities with ports. These warehouses specialize in storing and maintaining goods till they are loaded or unloaded from ships. Alternately, shipping companies have tie-ups with these warehouses to store goods brought in by them. Such warehouses store goods for a fixed period of time until they are picked up by rightful owners, after clearing off all warehousing dues. At times, dockyard warehouses are also termed as bonded warehouses.

Trans-loading Warehouses
These warehouses are located near rail-car tracking and container ports. They serve as a temporary location to deposit goods received through rail-cars or in containers. After a fixed number of days, these goods receive approval and are reloaded onto containers and rail-cars for carrying them to their ultimate destination town or city.

Cold Storages
These warehouses are used for storing goods that are usually perishable in nature. Some of their primary goods in stock may include food products like milk products, poultry and fish, horticultural products, fruits and vegetables, canned products etc. These warehouses are strategically located either in the center of the city or close to airports or dockyards, from where these goods are transferred to new locations. These warehouses do business because of their excellent refrigeration facilities and state-of-the-art technology to track goods as per their expiry dates. Due to perishable nature of these goods, there is a high level of inventory movement in cold storages.

Distribution Warehouses
Distribution warehouses or public warehouses receive large quantities of goods from different manufacturers. The same are maintained in the warehouse till the manufacturer or middleman informs the warehouse manager regarding transferring of these goods to new buyers. It is the warehouse’s responsibility to handover the shipment to the new buyer, or load the goods for transportation to their intended destination. In such type of warehouses, the goods are just tentatively paced in warehouses and transferred to the buyers without any change in their material form or packaging. [Read the rest of this entry...]
