Drop Ship Secrets

How to Create an Easy
Low Cost Online Store

The following is a summary of how drop shipping works:

1.) You open an internet store with a shopping cart and the ability to accept credit cards.

I recommend Yahoo! Stores because of the high traffice that Yahoo! brings and because the price is reasonable.

2.) You find a distributor who is willing to drop ship the products you want to sell. The best place on the Internet for this is www.DropShipSource.com. Their Drop Ship Source Directory is recognized as the best source for legitimate wholesale drop shippers on the Internet.(Be careful of scams posing as drop shippers! A real drop shipper will not require an order up front.)

3.) You establish an account as a retailer with the distributor you choose.

4.) You receive images and descriptions of the products you want to sell from the distributor, and post them on your Internet Store.

5.) A customer surfs into your Internet Store and buys (for example) a product that you have priced at $50.00. They purchase the item with their credit card. Your store charges their card $50.00 plus your shipping fee.

6.) You turn around and email the order to your distributor, along with the customer’s name and address.

7.) The distributor sends the product directly to your customer, with your store’s name on the package.

8.) The distributor charges you the wholesale price of, say, $25.00, plus shipping.

9.) Your customer gets the product from your store shipped to their door and you make $25.00 profit on one item. You didn’t have to buy a whole bunch of the product and keep it in your warehouse (or basement) hoping you would sell it. You didn’t have to pay to have it shipped to you, and then pay to ship it to your customer. All you did was send an email to your distributor.
