Start a Dropshipping Business

What is Dropshipping?

Dropshipping is an order fulfillment method in which products are sold to end consumers and sourced directly from suppliers. The lucrative model allows anyone to start or expand an eBay, Amazon or e-commerce business without investing a single cent on stock. Never before has it been so easy for anyone to instantly start selling products for profit without having to invest huge amounts of upfront cash. With dropshipping, you focus on driving sales while everything else (including postage and packaging) is done for you. It’s the ultimate business model, particularly for newbies to the world of e-commerce.

How Does the Dropship Model Work?

The way dropshipping works is simple. Find a supplier using a directory like SourceLow and list their products for sale on eBay, Amazon or your own website for a marked up price. When a sale comes in, purchase the item directly from the supplier for the lower price. The supplier will then ship the product directly to your customer and you keep the profit in-between. It’s a win/win for all parties involved.

The Benefits of Dropshipping

Dropshipping has an endless list of benefits. Unlike the traditional method of running an e-commerce business you won’t have to purchase stock upfront. Furthermore, the supplier handles the order fulfillment side of the business which gives you more time to focus on driving sales, dealing with customers and building your business.
