Profit Changes Between Affiliate Products and in-House Products
What are the real differences in money and effort and maintenance between the two different business models?
Capitalism 2 can make you understand the difference between selling your own products and having other people products on your store and making a lower profit.
This game was the best simulator of it’s time.
So the simulation is closer to reality than you can imagine.
The goal of the game is to dominate the world by making the most money and having the entire share of the products.
Financial goals are the most important ones.
In the game you can see the easiest way that requires the less work and also the least maintenance is to sell the government and other companies’ products on your own store.
This is what I used to do when I was a beginner in that game.
When you are selling other people’s products you are under their control.
They can change the price.
They can stop the supply.
They can change the technology.
They can join some embargo treaty.
They can do anything to you.
You are a puppet.
When you sell your product you will have a hell of a time in work and demanded maintenance.
But the revenue and the profits will be the highest!
Selling the competitor’s products means you will have a limited income opportunity because of the costs with the acquisition of the product.
Because of the distance of the product.
It has transport costs.
But most of all because of the control!
You cannot control a thing.
And in life.
And in business.
Control is everything!
In that game you cannot control the supply.
You can only sell what they allow you to sell.
A loser’s business.
Like you can hear on Pocahontas’ Disney film
“My boy, the right way is not always the easiest one”
Making your own product in the game means you will have to make a mine to mine all the raw materials.
Means you will have to make a factory for them.
Means you will have to build centers to research better ways to manufacture them.
Means you will have to know all the right combination of raw materials to manufacture the products and this takes a lot of time to learn.
Much less to master.
It also means you will have to spend on advertisements.
And finally you will have to construct a super market for them to sell to the general public.
But this hardest way is the best way.
It’s the most profitable way.
It’s the way where you have total control.
And it’s the most rewarding way to build a company.
How about letting others sell your own product?
It’s like building a company to sell it to another one or someone else.
You let your little baby on other’s hands.
This is a game everyone should play.
