how to sell online without having a brand?

Hello, I am planning to sell products on facebook and other social platforms through dropshipping. But I don't have any brand in mind and I don't intend to create it anytime soon, as I believe that I first need to have the money to create a more dedicated digital structure, and not just sell for the sake of selling.
Please give me tips on how I can do this kind of business without having a brand.


thanks...

    How can people recognise you if you don't have a brand?

    Your name alone is already your brand.

    What is exactly wrong with selling to sell?

    I see it this way... you are going to have a Facebook page - and presumably a Facebook store. you are going to have social accounts... more than likely a website. Your BRAND is the name of all of these. As a "Marketer" it would be preferred that ALL of these have the same name IE same social names and URL name to match - THAT is Brand

    You can use a tool such as this: ( https://www.namecheckr.com/ ) to find a name for your URL that has available matching social accounts.

    Forget what you think BRAND is... and just follow the absolute basics. you are not going to be WISH or Alibaba or Walmart tomorrow... but the simple step of ensuring your name is the same across all platforms is one heck of a start.

    Hope that Helps!

    Just start selling you dont need a brand name to get started. You want to start Dropshipping but alot of those products already have brand power built around them. You as a merchant should not have to worry about credibility and brand power that much. Offer a money back guarantee to lower the barrier of entry for the sale, and focus on selling top products that people are likely to buy. Dont let something like brand name stop you from getting started or launching your business.

    It's not mandatory to have a brand before you start selling something, but I can say it's highly recommendable as you'll get better chance to get more conversions as people buy more often from sources that are reliable and that sound familiar to them. Brand building isn't something that comes overnight, I agree on that, but you could maybe start selling products in dropshipping way on the site, and start working on creating a brand name at the same time. So, in the beginning, as dropshipper, you can sell products even if you don't have some prior online visibility, but for the following months, try to pay attention to this aspect.

        You just sell.


        Really.


        If you use the same header, the same name, the same something... that becomes your brand.



        My brand here is DABK.



        The first post I did, nobody knew who I was. Now, since I've posted many times, some people do. Those who come across my posts for the first time, can check me out.


        But the first post I ever made, nobody new nothing about me. It still got views and, if memory serves, responses.


        The same happens in selling.


        If you use the same image/ text/background in your sale pieces, landing pages, ads, etc., after a while, they become your brand.


        If you put thought into it from the beginning, you have a better chance at making your brand known, but if you just want to start selling, you can just put up an offer on a blank page that says: Widget x $14.37. Click here to buy.


        Or call xxx-xxx-xxxx to buy.


        And, if your offer is good and you put it in front of the right people, somebody will buy.


        I know, for I have bought from sites where there was a sales letter on a white background with a buy now button.


        Found out, after I bought, it was somebody big in the make-money-online at the time.
