| My Dropshipping Success - That Anyone Could Replicate
Of course, the year is 2005 and you see it everywhere and you
know you do it yourself… -How in the heck can you quit your 9-5
job and stay at home by making money on the Internet??
Friends, I am a student right now and I have been searching to
the answer to that question for at least four years. I’ve been
there, done that, and frankly I had almost given up until I
discovered a way to start a legitimate online business by
selling products that I never see.
It’s called Dropshipping, and it’s now what I do part-time from
my home, in between studying for my law classes. Basically, I
sell products that I don’t have and never see, package, or
stock. The manufacturers I deal with charge me a “reseller”
price and then ship out the products for me to the customers
that I sell them to. Wow huh??
How’d I do it? Well, honestly it took lots and lots of research
and I discovered that in order to purchase products from online
manufacturers, you have to be a legitimate, legal business in
your state of residence. That’s the only way a reliable,
dropship manufacturer will deal with you at all, you have to be
legal and have a business name. Okay, now you’re scared right??
A legal business..arrrghhh!!!!
I thought the same thing when I learned the truth. Don’t be,
because I am the laziest person on the planet and it took me one
day to get both a business name and a Sales Tax Id number from
my state, it was very, very easy. There was a website in my
state for the Office of Revenue that explained what I needed to
do in order to register a business.
Next, okay, you have a business name and you want to call as
many dropshippers as possible right?? WRONG!! One you get your
business legal, you have to do some research and think of a
product that will sell on the Internet. For example, you notice
how you see electronics EVERYWHERE on the Internet, you can buy
a stereo anywhere, and plus that’s something that‘s available at
any local, pickup retail store. Folks, that won’t sell very well
on the Internet, further, it would be tough to beat out
competitor prices. In order to find the right product, that
product should be something that people can’t regularly find at
every retail store or Internet Site. Plus, it should be a
product that you know something about at least to market it
effectively.
What did I do?? I subscribed to a Dropshippers Directory online
that gave me access to a diverse list of manufacturers that
dropship. It had a complete list of product lines as well that
gave me the ability to brainstorm some different product ideas
that I knew were available. Further, it had the contact
information for each Dropshipper listed, pretty nice eh?? I did
that and some market analysis using a research tool software
that provided me with a comparative market demand/supply
analysis of what’s out there and what people are buying. I have
the links for both the Dropshippers Directory and the Market
Research tool on my website if you care to visit. Please do for
further information.
