The DropShip Business Explained
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Dropshipping is one of the most simple ways to have your own internet business. That’s because you don’t need to buy any products or old a warehouse of stock. Quite to the contrary, the main thing you do is advertise. You let the dropshipping company do what they do best – deliver the goods to your customers, directly from their warehouse to your customer. You don’t handle the products at all.
That in simple outline is how the dropship business works.

THE THREE PLAYERS IN THE DROPSHIP PROCESS
There are 3 participants in any dropshipping business.
1) You. You are the seller, or call it reseller if you wish. You are the person who is advertising, receiving the funds from the customer and notifying the dropshipping company after each sale you make.
2) The dropshipper. This company might also be called the distributor. Their role is to keep a sufficient stock of products in their warehouse so that when customers buy something, they can promptly package it up and deliver it to the customer’s door on your behalf.
They can include your additional promotional messages in with the product if you wish. The dropship firm can despatch your products without any mention of their company at all. From your customer’s point of view, it appears that YOU sent them the goods. Your name, your address, your website link – that’s what is on the accompanying paperwork.
3) The manufacturers. The products you are selling will usually be produced by a third party, the manufacturer. Or alternatively, an importer will bring them in from an offshore manufacturer – so technically this is a fourth player in the process, but let’s not get complicated. The main point here is that the dropshipper (#2 above) is not the manufacturer – he gets the products you’re selling from another company. He provides the distribution service… or, as we call it, the drop shipping service.
WHERE YOUR DROPSHIP PROFIT COMES FROM
Your profit is the difference between your costs and what you receive from your customer. Your costs include the cost of, say, an eBay auction or a classified ad or your own website. Those are your advertising costs. Then you need to add the amount the dropship company charges you for the delivered product. The maths here is quite simple to calculate, which is part of the charm of the dropship business.
HOW TO START YOUR DROPSHIP BUSINESS
After you select the product or products that you want to sell, you need to find a reliable supplier (dropshipper) and open an account there. Then run your ads.
After each sale (and you’ve now got the money from your customer), it’s important to promptly notify the dropshipper so he gets the product to the customer as soon as possible.
It’s smart after that to keep in touch with your customer, firstly letting him or her know that the product is on its way – and then later to offer other related products which they may wish to buy. (Just dont overdo that or they wont want to hear from you again.)
