Dropshipping - a super no risk way to work at home
Traditionally, if you wanted to sell products, you'd have to find a supplier, buy stock, pay for it and pay for it to be delivered to you. Then find somewhere to store it!
Not very convenient if you have no money and/or no storage space!
And what if you choose things nobody wants to buy? You're stuck with your products, no income, facing having to sell them at a loss - and if you thought you'd shift them quickly you might even be crawling over 20 boxes to get to your bed each night!
So, what's the answer?
Dropshipping
So, what is dropshipping? Dropshipping is fabulous. You work out what products you want to sell, then advertise the products where you like at whatever price you like - and find a supplier that will deliver them directly to your customer!
That's a good idea, except the supplier would need to be set up to do that or there could be all manner of problems.
That's where dropshippers come in. That is precisely what they do: they supply products direct to your customers without you ever having to see the product.
And the best bit? You can buy single items - no minimum order is required.
Thus saving you all the worry of paying up front, probably buying FAR too much to get the bigger wholesale discounts, storing the goods, making sure you bought something that would sell!
Also, you make savings by not having to insure the goods and not having to transport them to the post office to post them off, nor the time to wrap them! Sounds great to me; the easier you can make any job the more you can focus on doing the important bit - making sales.
This is a super way to start your own business working from home, but still having all the control of it being your business.
You just need to advertise the goods at the price you choose, take payment, contact the dropshipper and pay for the goods at wholesale prices, they will then deliver direct.
You can find dropshippers by finding and contacting lots of suppliers of goods, or, you can simply get an instant directory of dropshippers. You could be in business and taking your first orders by this time tomorrow!
The first one of those don't only have dropshipping directories. They also have eight new UK directories:
- UK Wholesalers - UK Wholesale Products - UK Special Offers - UK Wholesale Brands - UK Dropshippers - UK Dropship Products - UK Auctions - UK Carboot Sales - UK Fairs - UK Markets
- UK Property Auctions
Something for everybody there!
Good luck with your new business working from home - with YOU in the driving seat and not somebody else! Enjoy being your own boss with no stock and no risk.
