Understanding Drop Shipping
Drop shipping is a method where by you set up an online shop selling goods.
When a customer buys the goods from you they pay retail. You then go to your drop shipper’s site (the supplier) and order from them and pay
wholesale. When making the order on your drop shipper’s site you are normally asked for two addresses, the billing address and the shipping
address. The billing address is yours and the shipping address is the customer who bought from your web site.
A company will sometimes charge a fee to drop ship because they normally sell in bulk, and the fact that they have to break down
a container to get out one item, costs money in time and packaging, so you will need to expect this from some drop shippers.
The main reason a company will drop ship is because it’s free advertising. Another words, if you’re selling their products on
your web site, you have to be attracting the customers through your own methods, and this means the drop shipper is moving product (the main
purpose of a business) with little effort.
Why use Drop Shippers?
There are several reasons to look into dropshipping. If you already have a business selling certain items, you can add to your
web sites inventory, making your range larger. You may have a web site that is based around a theme such as cooking recipes, and by utilizing a
couple of drop shippers, sell cooking items as a supplement income for the web site.
Or you can simply start a complete business from scratch on a subject dear to your heart without the headache of a normal
physical business.
This site in general
The purpose of this site is to show you how to start with a few ideas in your head and turn them into a small home
based business. I am going to show you how to create your own little niche business, which concentrates on a small section of the online
market as a whole. Read the course through first and then re-read it and put the tasks I set into action.
The idea is not to have you compete with huge companies like Wallmart, simply because it makes no sense to. The idea is to find a
range of products or services that will supply to big enough demand, but not too big that you are faced with huge competition. Once you have
found a little piece of the market you can focus on, the next step is to make you even more unique, thereby giving you the edge on the
competitors already there.
There are links to take you to other web sites that will further help you achieve your desired result (these can be seen in
blue).
Remember two things – First, competition is good, it has always been good for business, you just want to make sure you’re not
competing with a multi million dollar company. Second, don’t expect to make a million dollars overnight. It’s just not going to happen. The idea
is to get you earning a nice part time income in your early stages, and then once you’re doing this you can then take your knowledge and expand
into other areas of the Internet world.
Plenty of people make six figure incomes from the Internet but it took them all time and constant learning. This is why you must
focus on subjects you enjoy!
