Drop shipping is a great way to start selling products online without having to spend a ton of money to carry inventory. The idea works like this, you sell other people's stuff online and once the sale is completed you notify the merchant and they will fulfill the order.

I still use drop shipping to this day because of the lack of risk. Think of it this way, if I were to purchase a large number of items for a new website I'm out all of that money. Since I choose to start out by drop shipping I have no investment so if the product doesn't sell well I'm not out anything.

Finding Drop Shipping Companies

The process of selecting a new product to offer and finding a vendor that offers drop shipping is actually very simple. Worldwide Brands has put together a directory of vendors that offer drop shipping, all you need to do is type in a product an it'll display vendors that offer products that you're looking for.

The biggest obstacle that you'll run into right now is the $299 fee for use of the directory. I realize that this is pretty steep but if you can get a site online you should be able to make it up quickly. With that said, a free source of drop ship information can be found at www.WholesaleCentral.com.

The only obstacle that you'll run into is that they will accept just about anyone who requests to signup with them. This can be a problem if you sell a product and then find out that the merchant is some sort of scammer. Worldwide Brands actually has a group of people that go through a verification process so you'll know that they vendor is legit.

Fees Associated With Drop Shipping

When you select a drop shipping vendor be sure to find out if they charge a drop ship fee. This fee is generally added to cover expenses related to shipping materials, handling or just the convenience of not having to purchase inventory.
