You Can Work From Home With Wholesale Drop Shipping
You don’t have to have thousands of dollars. You don’t have to sell your first-born child. You don’t even have to go to the bank. You can fulfill your dreams of working at home and owning your own online retail business by using wholesale drop shipping.
What is it? Wholesale drop shipping is a way to provide products to your potential customers without having to buy them first. Yes, that’s right. You don’t have to invest in hordes of purchased products, clean out your garage or rent a place to store them, and wonder how you’re going to pay for all the packaging, shipping, and handling fees up front.
When you sign on with a wholesale drop shipper, you can instantly access thousands or millions of products that they already have access to. Your customers place an order through your Web store and you pass it on to your drop ship company.
They process the order by sending it to the manufacturer or wholesaler that supplies the product for them. Then that manufacturer or wholesaler packages and ships the product to your customer.
It sounds like a lot of steps, doesn’t it? The reality is that your drop shipper has the process down. It all goes smoothly — and quickly. The best part for you is that your customer already pays for the product and shipping. You won’t have to fork out the money for it all to get done.
What will come out of your pocket is the cost of putting up a Web site with a domain name and a server (where your site is stored). With places like GoDaddy, Microsoft Office Live, and Yahoo! Domains, this can be easily done for less than $20 a year!
You’ll also likely need to pay for membership rights with the wholesale drop shipper that best suits your product needs. This could cost anywhere from $20 a month to several hundred depending on the drop ship company you use. But, some of these companies offer Web site set up along with their access.
Any way you look at it, using a wholesale drop shipper will cost thousands less than funding the whole shebang yourself. And you’ll enjoy the profits because all you’ll have to worry about is marketing your store!
