Earning Money From Home Through A Dropship Business

By Galvin Peteroulld


If you want to have a business or earn money from home without spending a considerable amount of money upfront, then drop shipping may be something you'd find worthwhile. In this setup you fundamentally function as the middle person between a wholesaler and the consumers and you earn a profit from the difference of the wholesale and retail price. This is not the same as the traditional retail model in that you will just collect the payment from the buyer and send the order to a wholesaler who then delivers the purchased products directly to the consumer.

You will still do the marketing of the product, but you do not need to purchase the goods in bulk, meaning you don't really need to raise a lot of money for capital and you also avoid expenses associated with storage. With inventory and shipping handled by the wholesale dropship company, you can concentrate on selling. Operating a drop ship business has risen in popularity as Internet access has become cheap and readily available as online auction and ecommerce websites have become very common.

These days, you can already find and sign up with dropship wholesalers from China as easily as you can with those based in the US and Europe. The items that these China dropship companies sell range from electronic products, car accessories, and RTWs. While this method of trading can generate substantial income, the span of time it will take to become successful varies. Your success in this endeavor depends on a number of factors but the most crucial of these are the quality and value of the products being offered, and how effective your marketing and promotion activities are. Creating a personal website or a seller account on auction sites can help you sell your merchandise to more people.

Finding the right dropship wholesaler is also a factor that is important to your success in this business. Although there are a lot of honest dropshippers, there are also a lot of individuals and companies which are aiming to deceive vendors who are inexperienced or just plain nave. Case in point, some folks may try to sell you a list of wholesale dropshippers which are not reputable to begin with. Before doing business with any dropship company, you should try to learn as much about them first.

Verify the prices for which these wholesalers are selling their items. To do this, use a search engine to find the resale price of an item you wish to sell and then compare it to the price set by the drop-shipping company. The drop shipper's price should be lower than the resale price. You should also test a drop shipper's shipping time. You should also study the agreement beforehand.
