So what are white label business opportunities exactly?
In order to define what are white label businesses, we would need to look a bit deeper into the white labelling concept as a whole.
I am sure you have heard of many different types of website business opportunities for sale, but white label business opportunities may not be one of them – as it is not as popular as some of the other types of online businesses for sale models that you may be used to.
So this article is all about explaining a bit more about what exactly a whitelabel business is and how it works.
What is white labeling & what is a white label online business?
Just like the drop shipping business model, white labeling is just a different type of online business model that can allow you to take someone else’s existing product or business solution, put your name/brand on it, and sell their services to your customers under your own existing brand.
White labeling can be a much quicker route to successfully making money online than traditional methods (and usually has a much higher success rate) as it allows you to take someone else’s’ already established business and run with it.
When you opt for a white label business solution, the original owners of the product /service that you are white labeling will have already made those mistake that you probably would have made had you started from scratch – and so by the time that you purchase the business model will be much more refined.
A specific example of white labeling…
Imagine that you ran a website design /development company and an existing client gets in touch with you to say that they would also like help with their websites SEO as well (those who need a website will usually also require some SEO). You would probably then just refer them to a specialist separate SEO company that you ‘know’ and essentially send their possible extended business else where.
The much smarter thing to do would be to have pre-anticipated this possible extended business avenue, and have already made plans for this.
You should have already gotten in touch with a company that offers 2 things:
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization) services to their customers. It’s also great if they mainly specialize in this.
- White label business packages for their SEO services.
You will then be able to form a relationship with them whereby they will allow you to sell their SEO services to your clients. You will probably be able to re-brand their SEO service to that of your existing company.
So when your customer request SEO as part of an add-on solution to their website design package, you are able to say: ‘yes we do that also’ and then offer the 3rd parties SEO solutions under your brand, so your customer stays with you and is never sent elsewhere – which is always a good thing.
You will of course always add your profit margin on top of what the white label SEO agency charges you – making it a win-win situation.
