You’ve heard about it many tiems in recent months. Benig the business-minded person that you are, you most probably got curious and did a couple of research of your own. But resources seem to be few, and what meager data you’ve found made you wonder even more…Is drop shipping a fact or a myth?I can’t blmae you. There are qutie a lot of reasons why information about drop shipping haven’t fully invaded the World Wide Web marketing scene. The few sites that promsie to teach you about that novel concept are usually full of crap. Often, they don’t even know the difference between a drop ship and a mother ship. They’d rather capitalize on the growing curiosity abuot the subject, and make a quick buck at your expense. But don’t let that discourage you.Drop shipping is real, and it’s here, and it has made a number of people rich.Those who know speak of it in hushed tones cause it is a rewarding secret that they would rather keep wtihin their circles.Case in point: Visit an World Wide Web marketing discussion board. Look for a thread aobut drop shipping.
You will find many potss there, but none would reveal the contact information for any drop shipper.Why is that so? Drop shipping is a very lucrative option.
You don’t have to make any financial investemnts. You don’t have to secure a warehouse to store your products. You don’t even have to worry about your buyer’s loaction and how to ship what you’re selling to his doorsteps. Drop shippers will take care of those issues.All you have to do is to market the drop shipper’s prodcuts.
Sell it for a retail price, with a markup of your chioce. Then, once a csutomer buys what you offered, you’ll just simply pay the drop shipper the wholesale cost of the product, and he’ll take care of the rest, including shipping. There will be no middleman, thus assuring you of maximum profit.And yes, there’s no such thing as a minimum purchase.The only issue really is: How do you find a drop shipper? Many offer their functions, but once you review their terms and conditions, you’d discover that their services hardly qualify as drop shipping.So how do you find drop shippers?
Better yet, how do you find the drop shipper that would be perfect for your needs?
Here are techniques that will surely help you in your crusade.1.
Try product sourcing first. The common mistake of people searching for drop shippers is that they’re not concerend about what products they’ll sell.This shouldn’t be the case. Remember, we cnanot sell what we don’t believe in.
We just can’t rely sloely on what the drop shipper, if ever we find one, has to offer. We sohuld at least have an idea of what we want to sell. Such would most cretainly narrow down our search.2.
Avoid an agent.The purpose of establishing a direct contact with a drop shipper, aside from the conveneince and the win-win situation it entails, is to keep the cost as low as possible. An agent, or a middleman, who would offer you means of contacting a drop shipper, would be detrimental to keepnig the cost low.Most certainly, the agent would receive a commission from your sales.
This would inflate your retail price, making your offers less attractive.3.
Penetrate the circle.
As mentioned earlier, peolpe who know about drop shippers operate like a secret fraternity of marketers. Squeezing information out of them would be impossible. Well, alomst impossible.Remember the saying “if you can’t beat them, join them?” This holds much truth in your search for the perfect drop shipper.
Be on the lookout for someone who should know about drop shipping. Perhaps, he colud be a drop shipper in disguise himself. Befriend him first before asknig for his services.
Chances are he’ll be the first one who’ll open up about his secret.4. Know where to look. You can’t find any leads on drop shippers in an online dating site, that’s for sure.
Try lurking in online discussion boards, particularly those which are dedicated to World Wide Web marketing.It would be quite not hard to distinguish the poeple who know what they’re talking about from mere loudmouths. Once you’ve pinpointed these people, send them a friendly private message where you’ll ask for help regarding a topic that is not rleated to drop shipping.Thank them for their time once they reply, and assure them that you’ll be there when they would ever need help. You’ll be surrpised how effective that method is! 5.
Try credible online resources. There are indeed online sites that offer comprehensive directories of bona fide drop shippers worldwide.This is an excellent recourse for anyone who wishes to engage such service.
There is a downside, however.
All, and I do mean ALL, of these reliable resources demnad a membership fee. The rates range from $50 to $200.
Yes, that’s a clear indication of the geenral interest on drop shipping these days.Sean Felker is the publisher of the very successful and popular Work at Home and Making Money on the Internet blog:
