What is drop-shipping, you ask? Well, it's like having free products to sell online. You advertise the products on your website. When the customer places an order, you advise the wholesaler or manufacturer, who then ships the product directly to the customer.
Isn't that amazing? Now, I know affiliate marketing programs are popular. In affiliate marketing, you recommend certain products to a select list of clients; email auto responder programs make this easy so you save time and money. That email includes an "affiliate link" when your customer clicks on the link, they are whisked away to a website that sells that particular product. If the customer buys it, you get a commission.
But a lot can go wrong. The customer may not make it to that site. Also, you have no control over what that site looks like, or changes made to that site or how your customer will navigate around on that site. The biggest problem is the fact that you are not collecting the money to ensure you get paid!
Drop-shipping, on the other hand, saves you money, while letting you retain complete control over your own website. You have no shipping costs, no inventory to store or count. It's as close as you can get to having free products to sell online! Just think of what you could sell using drop-shipping:
* Home based gift business drop shipping
* Gemstones wholesale
* Scrap booking supplies
* Fabric, upholstery, and trim
* Cast-iron banks drop-shipping
* Home security products home business drop shippers
The list goes on and on!
Although drop shipping sounds like the best thing since sliced bread, finding a wholesaler or a manufacturer to drop ship can be a challenge. Not all wholesalers want to mess with drop shipping and many on the internet who pose as wholesalers are not wholesalers at all...they are cleverly disguised "buying clubs" or "internet malls" designed to separate you from your money. They are drop ship sales scam artists and not dealers with wholesale products to sell.
So, Chris Malta to the rescue. He has compiled a list of drop shippers that his company has personally checked out. He has the staff and know-how to carefully screen every new Drop Shipper they find, and they add new Drop Shipper information to One Source Directory on a daily basis.
Not only do you get access to reputable companies, you can also sell over three million brand-name products on your website. Think of the possibilities - millions of amazing specialty items and products that can help you make amazing profits with your online business.
No shipping, no storage, and no warehouse - now that's smart! Check it out and see for yourself.
