How To Drop Ship

How to drop ship is a big question and the answer is not for the faint hearted. If you plan of dropshipping a  product that is already saturated in the market place you may as well give up now. Look for a niche and when you think you have found one then research ebay. That is if you plan on selling on there. After checking ebay search google for the niche you plan to drop ship. Doesn't matter  what it is your dropshipping research the market place. Research the drop shipper your going to use doesn't matter if they are in the U.K. or China. Test them out first, are they reliable? do they put their leaflets in your packages to promote themselves and not you? How are they in responding to phone calls or emails? These are questions you should be asking.

How much profit can you make on the item you hope to sell? Don't forget if your selling on ebay you will have to take in to account, 1) listing fee, 2) Final value Fee, 3) Paypal fees. Is it worth your hard work after all this?
If you plan to sell from your own website you will be able to disregard the ebay fees. Also remember to try and get a few reliable drop shippers in case one of them runs out of the product you plan to sell. Don't forget you won't be the only customer on their books. This is how some successful business's have started and then combined drop shipping with wholesale suppliers. You want to be earning a living, if your not don't give up the day job. It could take 3 hard years before you start to see a return.
