The DROP SHIP DIRECTORY
Use the
Drop Ship
"One Source Directory" to help yourself build an online business
using drop ship wholesale companies to do the shipping. Far too many
people make the mistake of trying to sell only products that they like
on their web sites. Others make the mistake of trying to sell only the
coolest and flashiest things they can find.
The whole point of starting an ecommerce web site is to
make money ! That's something you must not lose sight of (no pun
intended!).
One
approach is called DROP SHIPPING. This is where a wholesale distributor
will ship a single item directly to your customer from their warehouse,
AFTER your customer pays you for it. It's the perfect way to start
an
Internet business on a smaller budget. So why does everyone who uses this Directory try to sell
electronics ??
 Ok, most of you did the same thing. Most likely you
plastered the walls of that place with things that you thought were
cool. Stereo equipment, DVD players, Computer components, etc. The
shinier the better. Some of the items cost thousands of dollars.
Perhaps you thought that in the back of your mind, you
knew that you weren't going to sell much of it, but it LOOKED really
cool. Show your friends and say, "Check it out…that's MY
store!" Whenever any of them asked you how much money you were
making the subject probably changed quickly.
The truth is that nobody was buying much of anything.
That should have told you something very important right there.
Drop Ship
One Source DirectoryElectronics are a fine product to sell on the Internet
The problem is not the product; it's the COMPETITION.
Most of the people we've seen start an Internet store
want to know what the hottest sellers are on the 'Net, so they can sell
those products too. They're missing the point, as you did. If you only
sell the hottest sellers, you dilute your available customer base,
because EVERYONE ELSE is trying to sell the hottest sellers, too! You
also run into those bricks-and-mortar popular-item superstores that have
millions of dollars to purchase tons of inventory at rock bottom prices.
People buy all kinds of products. They don't have to be
cool or shiny. They just have to be things that people will want or
need.
Here's an important ingredient for success on the 'Net:
Sell those products that people use, but don't stumble over every time
they open a web browser.
When you build an Internet store, do a little RESEARCH
FIRST. For example if you build your stores on Yahoo Shopping (http://store.yahoo.com),
do your research in Yahoo Shopping. So when you consider a new product
line, start a search.
Drop Ship
One Source DirectoryIf you were considering selling DVD players, for
example, you could do a search on the term "DVD Player" in
Yahoo Shopping. As of the date of this article, such a search turns up
7,813 DVD Players available from 496 stores. Not much chance for success
here.
Do you wish to become store number 497, add 20 or 30
products to the nearly 8,000 that are already available, and hope you
sell something?
Drop Ship
One Source DirectoryUse the
Drop Ship
One Source Directory exclusively as a source of
product suppliers who drop ship. Search the Directory and look around at
some of the available product types. Find niches that no one else is
selling. Items that have limited competition. Become a specialist in
that niche. Open multiple stores with different niche products. People
will buy many things on the net. Find items that will sell well during
seasonal periods. Gardening products in the spring, winter items in the
fall. Research the
Drop Ship
One Source Directory
carefully, and build your
business one product at a time.

MARKET RESEARCH TOOL:
I am amazed that ($97) could
buy (the ability to do) thousands of dollars worth of market research. I
wrote an email telling you guys how much I enjoyed Chris Malta's writing
in an article I read about Drop Shipping. At the time I didn't even know
what drop shipping was. I signed up to receive your news letter just
because I liked Chris's style. My company wasn't selling on the web at
the time and I didn't see a need to start.
Since then however, we have
been developing a product that uses the web to reach architects and
businesses that use our product. When I read this issue of the
newsletter, I knew immediately that the Wizard could help us convince
the bank and investors that we have a viable product. Then when I saw
the price, I didn't even bother with the free trial. I went out to my
truck to get my wallet and I bought the program on the spot. I played
with it for the next several hours.
All I can say is WOW! I will
tell everyone I do business with about your company and how I stumbled
on to such an amazing tool.
Thank you,
Kelly Luckett
