3DBin for Home Business (Make 360 car view for home business)

I wanted to tell you about my first business idea with which I started my entrepreneurial life. Because I did not have money, experience or business connections I tried to start with a simple and easy to realize kind of business. This only demand for this business was that it was not common to everybody.

It happened to be the time when a friend of mine wanted to buy a new car. He was not fixed on any brand or type of car and just wanted to have a look at what the market could offer to him.

He always complained about the bad descriptions and the poor quality of pictures in the advertisements. As a matter of fact he is no car expert and because of that he did not even know how certain cars should look like or in which categories they would fit.

My business idea was to look at the car advertisements in newspapers, Internet forums and on Internet sites and called the people advertising their cars. I offered them the following service for $20:

1. Make a perfect 3D picture of the car that provides a 360 degree view on the car from every angle. This would help the potential buyer to see real condition of the car and to notice every detail.

2. To publicize the advertisement on every regional website that offer car sales with the 3D picture and thus increase the chance to really sell the car.

On my first day I had 20 customers and earned $400! It is also possible to even earn more money if you go to a car market and search your customers there, but even without that I figure that $400 are not bad for the first day working on a business simple as this. After some time I had beside occasional also regular customers, mostly car dealers. Especially for them this idea was really profitable, because they just bought a car, paid 20 bucks and one day later their new car was already on every website for Internet car sales with a 3D Photo. My advantage was that I had a permanent income and I could expand my business. Right now I do not even take pictures myself, I already hired two photographers. One of is always taking photos on car markets and the other one drives to customers who hire us.

Do you know another way to make money that easy? I do not!

I only had an idea and a camera. Newspapers do not cost that much and to look at Internet sites is for free. My 3D Photos where created by an Internet site (www.3dbin.com). One picture costs me $1 for one month which is also not a huge amount of money.

As you see there are very small start-up costs for this kind of business. The most important thing is to believe in yourself and set yourself clear goals and you can built up a business just like mine.

Buying a vehicle is a major purchase for every individual. It is a stressful experience where the consumer attempts to gather as much information as possible about a product before deciding to acquire it. Purchasing a used car is no exception to this rule and frequently causes significantly more stress on the customer due to the unknowns of the car.

Why not ease their minds and reduce the number of unknowns? Why not let your distant customer get excited about being in your cars, with our 360 view photos? We aren’t living in a two-dimensional world, stop presenting your products as such!

About 360 degree product view

Many people choose to make their purchases online because it's easy and less time consuming. Recent studies showed that around 20% of Internet users shop online once per week and this number is growing strong. This is good news for manufacturers and retailers but it also has a downside: companies are investing more money in online store development therefore the competition is increasing.

The hard part of converting online shoppers into buyers is to get them past the point where they need to see a product in person. No matter how large monitors grow, viewing a product from a stationary perspective is a boring exercise. The consumer invariable thinks how can I see the other functions? What does it look like from the side, the back? How can I get a closer look? How can sellers solve this problem? One of the decisions is using 360 degree product view. 360 degree product photography is interactive, it improves the whole shopping experience because of their better feature communication and gains trust bonus points for your shop and products. It also increases the likelihood to make a purchase due to the fact that you present more information than "the other virtual shop". Well crafted 360 degree rotating product images are user friendly and include simple controls allowing companies to use them in multimedia presentations, trade shows and interactive product catalogues and also increase their brand awareness.

Now, you might say "If is not heavily used in e-commerce shops it might be hard to implement, not suitable for my products or very expensive". But it's not. New on-line web software solution for sellers www.3Dbin.com makes using of 360 degree product presentation fast and easy, just like inserting a flash animation, YouTube video or an image to website. It can be used for most of the products sold online like shoes, clothes, jewelry, gifts, consumer electronics, computer hardware, toys, house wares, sports equipment, health, watches and beauty products, etc. And the best part is that it's free.

More and more companies are leveraging 360 degree or 3D product animations on their web sites and in some cases throughout their distribution networks. Some of your competitors are using 360 degree product movies but they are investing hundreds of thousands of dollars working with overpriced agencies and expensive photo studios. 3DBin.com provides low-cost product presentations.

It’s going to be as common as the "home button". In 3-4 years all major product manufacturers will have 360 degree or 3D product presentation. Even today’s web site is losing business with the absence of 360 degree, spinning or 3D product perspectives. With Ad-Words and web sites costing so much these days, why not add the missing ingredient that will improve conversion ratios and make your web site and company more successful.
