Yes, drosphipping is a godsend for people who don't have the capital or experience to carry an inventory. However, it's not fool-proof. Dropshipping often has a slimmer profit margin than purchasing wholesale, so it's important not to enter a saturated market where the profit margins are already extremely small (electronics, for instance). Also, most big brand-names do not dropship (Apple, Prada, etc.), so don't expect to be able to dropship any product you please. Your best bet is to enter a niche market. By selling a very specialized product you can compete with mega-retailers who don't have an extensive selection of niche products. Finally, don't be fooled by so-called dropshippers who offer thousands of different products for some kind of fee. Those companies are scams - they are middlemen who do not offer their products at wholesale prices, so you won't actually be able to make a profit (plus the fact that every Tom Dick and Harry who signed up with them is selling the same products as you). You need to buy direct from a manufacturer or distributor. To find real, legitimate dropshippers try www.wholesalematch.com. Unlike most databases, they actually offer a 100% money-back guarantee on finding you a profitable dropshipper or wholesaler for your product.

Drop shipping definitely works and is one of the best methods for starting an online business. I agree that the only to start is when you have a reliable drop ship supplier.

Just a Lonely Voice

Take note: make sure to investigate your supplier before choosing them as your drop ship company. There are too many scams and too many companies who are just out to make a quick buck and then disappear. Angry customer reviews are your #1 sign to stay away from a company!

"Buyer Beware" also means you (the dropshipper).
