If you've been considering starting an ecommerce business on ebay or perhaps your own store, you've probably wondered where you can find products to sell. The newest trend in online business is drop shipping. Drop shipping is where you sell products without ever actually stocking them yourself. The products ship directly from a wholesale company or manufacturer to your customer.
If you've searched for drop shippers on Google, you've surely found a multitude of companies offering drop shipping services for a monthly fee. The truth is, real wholesalers do not advertise on search engines. The sites you see in the search engines are middle men who are cutting deeply into your profits.
It's tempting buy in to the easy solution that builds your website, ships your products, and basically does all the work for you. However, I think we both know that it isn't the right way to go. If everyone is selling the same products as you with the same margins, how are you going to succeed? To make any real amount of money you need to deal with real wholesalers and real drop shipping companies.
Once your endless search for wholesalers and drop shippers gets exhausted, you'll inevitably end up using a wholesale directory. Wholesale directories are the safest way to go about finding products to dropship. In your search for suppliers on the internet, you'll inevitably be ripped off my scam artists, middle men, and other shady characters. I have personally gone through it all, and it's not worth the mess. Trust me.
Go for a trusted source like Salehoo. Salehoo is a wholesale and dropship directory with an active community of sellers. Sellers can give ratings and reviews on the companies in the directory, so you know who to trust. There are 8,000 companies, and these are real wholesale companies that can give you the profit margins you need to succeed. You also get support from professionals and a members forum where you get valuable information from other sellers.
