How To Test For Profitability of Your Coffee Related Online Business
Take for example you borrow £200,000 with a 10% current inflation interest rate to help you kick start your generic
flavored coffee brand.
Your expected pay back period is five years and your target market are the huge number of computer geniuses who
works at all the Tech companies nearby.
Lets break it down:
10% of £200,000 = £20,000. If your projected cash flow after tax is £40,000 every year up to year five then you can
go ahead with the project because in exactly five year you would have paid off the borrowed fund.
But with these statistics, i would say to look for something else or some other source of funding because it will take
you up to five years to start seeing any profit of your own.
Again lets say you are lucky enough to have an Uncle who decided to invest £200,000 for a 51% share of the
business. That leaves you with 49% and yes with enough money to set up and running but are you ready to
relinquish full ownership of your bright idea?
The option above is well applicable to both online and offline coffee related businesses and will require huge
investment. Plus accessing such amount of start up capital is not usually easy for everyone.
On the other hand, if you have the capital and want to validate your startup ideas for viability, you can read up my top
9 ways to do so here.
Now lets explore much less expensive and less moving parts options below.
How To Sell Coffee Directly Online
The secret to succeeding with this option is to buy low and sell high. With this strategy, you want to be an innovator.
Meaning someone who sees something in a different way and make it work better.
This method may involve direct handling of the actual coffee, packaging it and selling it online.
The most less hassle and possibly most profitable approach to this method will be to start :-
3/8

4. Coffee bag designing
Coffee packaging
Packaging coffee for different target market
Sourcing for generic good quality coffee
Going directly to popular coffee brand companies and striking a cheaper deal.
You will need to find a great coffee bean directly from the farmers or manufacturers at a relatively good price, then
turn it around and sell online. Or alternatively look for farmers market online and start digging.
If you are very good with technology you can develop an app that will allow folks to order good coffee near them and
have it delivered straight to their door without breaking a sweat. Your premium will be the cost of convenience which
by the way is the added value. Your ability to make money with this option depends on how well you can negotiate
with the retailers or coffee shop owners.
Alternatively, you can find a way to deliver your online coffee better in a much more cost effective way. Or better still
find something different your competitors are not doing or not doing well and focus on doing it better.
Another best approach to this method is to find great and popular in demand coffee companies and negotiate a very
good price but again this is often difficult as it is always hard to beat the already established price with their retailers.
And when you are able to get a good price, the next task will be to brain storm on how to sell it online and make
profit. Considering the volume of competition out there.
How To Start Selling Coffee or Coffee Related Products From Your Own Website
Starting an online coffee business from your website will require that you have a product to actually sell on it. But
before we dive into that these are a must have before you get started:-
You will need a product(s) e.g what coffee bean? what flavor are you going for? are you going for brewing or
coffee roasting? where do you source your coffee from and who are your suppliers?
Next you will need a website and a very unique domain name and always go for the dot com domain as it
proofs to have a wider reach in the world wide web.
You will need to understand your target market, who they are what they like and how they behave in the
market. You can use tools like Jaxxy.com to help you out especially with who your competition are and what
best keyword to use. Or you can upgrade to Jaxxy unlimited access and unleash the full potential of the tool.
You will need a shopping cart on your website to process payment. There are tons of free varieties out there
but i will be careful to go for more secure ones even if you have to pay a little monthly premium. PayPal has a
free check out button you can get started with.
Then you are going to put your creative mind to work because to succeed in this business, you will need to
constantly out think your competitors.
The last but not the least is to take action.
Where To Start Selling Coffee Directly Online
There are a couple of trusted platforms you can go to to start selling your coffee directly online without you having to
build a website or host it yourself. These platforms have everything set up and done for your. All you have to do is
choose a niche domain name and you are good to go. Among them is Shopify which i think is the best place to get
started as i have come across a couple of folk who are actually doing well by using their platform to sell items online.
4/8

5. You can find a full and insightful Shopify review here and read all you need to know about it before you jump start. In
fact it is a must read before you buy a report.
They have this 14 Days Free Trial thing going on which will be a good way to start testing the water with your online
coffee ideas.
Other platforms you can check out are:-
BigCommerce
Amazon FBA
Amazon pretty much made it easy for any one to set up and running as you will not be worrying about storage. This
approach will be best for selling coffee beans directly from manufacturer via fulfillment. The fees vary from type of
accounts and you can scale down your cost by maximizing effort on whats performing better for you.
Selling Coffee via an MLM
This is a totally different way of selling coffee. It is basically a direct selling method which means you have to selling
coffee in person. Now MLM stands for Multi-Level Marketing and the companies involved usually anchor their
businesses around recruitment.
You also have the choice of selling coffee online with MLM but mostly is a direct marketing thing which again may
not suit everybody. Good example of MLM companies for coffee business are Javita and Organo.
Nevertheless, there are costs associated to joining this companies and if you are thinking of going this route, below
are the cost break down;
Javita
There are 3 types of starter kits to choose from when joining Javita;
The Starter Pack which costs $99
The Business Pack which costs $499
And finally the Business Elite Pack which costs $999
Organo
5/8

6. They also have 3 types of starter pack kits which are;
Bronze Pack $199
Silver Pack $499
Gold Pack $1245
They key motivation here is the compensation plan they claimed will make you rich
but first you must have to buy into the starter packs.
This again will cost you a little if not more money before you start to see any returns
on your investment. Some of the MLM companies expect you to keep paying
monthly subscriptions to maintain your membership. Others may not.
As for the compensation plans, I am yet see or find anyone who has actually
received one so far.
Selling Coffee Via Affiliate Marketing
This is by far the best approach to turning your love for coffee into an online
business. Affiliate marketing makes the best sense because you are acting as a go between from those seeking to
find best coffee and those who makes or manufactures coffee.
You don’t have to purchase tons of products and you do not have to worry about any storage facility or packaging to
product delivery. Your job is very simple; direct people looking to buy coffee to the best coffee makers you have
reviewed.
You are not directly selling the product to anyone, you are simply directing them. One thing with this approach is that
you can start making money fast as an affiliate because you will be promoting brands that are already popular out
there.
Having a website with this method is very essential as this will be a platform where you will be reviewing and
promoting top branded coffee products. Here is a list of top coffee affiliate programs you can join to test your
marketing skills;
Starbucks
Amazon Associates
Cafe Britt
Three Avocados Coffee
Tea and Coffee Coffee
Coffee.org.Affiliate Program
And many more
Alternatively you can build a website that talks about coffee machines for example or any coffee related products
you know will help people get the best out of there favorite coffee blends.
Why Affiliate Marketing is Best for Your Online Coffee Business
There are so many reasons why affiliate marketing is the best way to start your online coffee business.
First, you do not need huge capital to get started and you do not have to worry about space, location or a physical
6/8

7. shop to get started.
Even if you happen to gain access to a loan it will likely be a mortgage which will cost you a bunch of monthly
payments plus you will need to put down 25% deposit on face value of property. If you are lucky to get an interest
only loan, you will still have to pay the full value of the property as soon as the interest only term expires.
And also you will need a good exit strategy in place which will ensure that your bank gets their money back.
Secondly, you do not need to deal in any physical product or face storage worries as you will be reviewing and
referring folk to the best coffee company you have reviewed on your website.
Thirdly, you do not necessarily have to buy or test every coffee brand product out their before reviewing, although i
will recommend you do so for a better knowledge and understanding of the product.
At least to some degree. This way you can better connect with your readers and gain more reputation on what you
do.
Fourthly, affiliate marketing has become so popular that some organisations are even building a whole institution on
the subject of teaching people how to become a supper affiliate marketer.
You can pretty much put together the very tools you will need to get started if you know how to. The most challenging
part of beginning an affiliate marketing online is understanding how everything works together to produce the
required result.
You will be faced with questions like; How do you build a website? What domain name to choose? What hosting
service is best and secured? How do you promote your content? Where do you get your link? What traffic method to
use and how to get traffics? And most importantly how do you make your first sale?
You can reduce the amount of time it will take to achieve the above by getting advice and direction from an expert.
Such expert experience can be filtered into a guide on how to do it right and start seeing results sooner.
