Drop servicing: the new business that can pay off
There are various ways to make money online. There is the classic business: dropshipping. There is also domaining, web marketing, etc. However, the majority of these forms of business are now saturated. Therefore, it is difficult to make money with them. However, there is a new form of business that is quite promising: drop servicing.
What is drop servicing?
The drop servicing draws its concept from dropshipping. To better understand this system, let's first see what dropshipping is. It is to sell a product without stock and without management of logistics either. In this form of e-commerce, the seller only sells the products. He enters in partnership with a supplier. The latter takes care of the supply, the storage as well as the delivery to the final customer.
The drop servicing adopts the same concept. The difference is that instead of selling products, services will be sold. The system works as follows. You will look for a supplier (a freelancer for example) who offers services. Then, you will look for a customer who will buy this service (a company for example). When an order is validated, you order the service from the supplier. He will then provide the service to the final customer.

Services for sale
In drop servicing, all services can be sold. However, there are some services that sell better than others. Among the ideas of services you can adopt, there is writing (product sheet, blog post, etc.). There is also virtual mail marketing. Search engine optimization, backlinks creation or site design can also be sold. The same goes for the creation of sales tunnels, graphic tasks, video content creation, social network management, advertising campaigns or even accounting.
Advantages and disadvantages of drop servicing
As for dropshipping, drop servicing is a very lucrative business. Of course, you have to know how to do it. Apart from that, this business allows you to target customers and suppliers all over the world. The drawback with this form of business is that you need to understand the services you are offering. Without this, you will not be able to find customers. Understanding the services will also help you in case your customers ask you questions.
After that, it should be noted that selling a service is quite different from selling a product. A product is physical. Its characteristics and qualities do not change. A service, on the other hand, depends on the service provider who provides it. Besides the characteristics and quality, there is also the delivery time. Sometimes, there are delays due to unforeseen events, health problems, overload of orders or other on the side of the provider. To avoid these inconveniences, the ideal is to work with suppliers (providers) who have a good reputation.
How to carry out a drop servicing?
If you want to get into drop servicing, there are a few steps you need to take. First of all, there is the choice of service and the market research. Then you need to find a jobbing or microservice site. When everything is good, you can start marketing the services.
Service selection and market research
It is best to choose services that can be sold completely online. You also need services that can be provided online. Secondly, it should be a service that you are familiar with.

You will be able to know the price, the competitors, the suppliers, etc.
Find a jobbing or microservice site
In dropshipping, a dropshipper acts as an intermediary between a supplier and a customer. In drop servicing, the system is the same. However, you need to find your suppliers, your customers and a solution to link the two and earn an income via this form of business. The best way to access all this is through a jobbing or microservice website. It is a platform where providers offer their services and where customers look for providers.
So you can find your suppliers (service providers) and your customers. Then, you can propose your jobbing services and make your sales. Among the platforms you can visit, there are for example Upwork, Fiver, Needhelp, etc. Note that there are free jobbing sites and others that are not. Some platforms charge a commission, others limit the ads to about ten publications, others require a subscription. To better choose your jobbing website, compare first the offers. Since you are going to propose several services, to earn your living with this form of business, you will have to study the cost that your support will generate: the chosen jobbing site.
