Why Use Drop-Shipping?

One of the coolest concepts I ever stumbled upon on the internet was that of drop shipping. Drop shipping is where you put up a website, drive customers to it, take the orders and then have the wholesaler or manufacturer send the product DIRECTLY to the customer from their warehouse.

Think about that. No inventory and no shipping. You just take the order and someone else ships the product. Drop shipping has a few advantages over affiliate sites. Affiliate sites are where you recommend a product and then send your customer to that website via an affiliate link so that you get the credit and hopefully a commission.

But a lot can go wrong. The customer may not make it to that site. Also, you have no control over what that site looks like, or changes made to that site or how your customer will navigate around on that site. The biggest problem is the fact that you are not collecting the money to ensure you get paid!

With drop shipping, you get the best of both worlds. No inventory, no shipping and complete control of the money. It’s like having FREE PRODUCTS TO SELL ONLINE. Think of all the businesses you can do with drop shipping:

* Home based gift business drop shipping

* Gemstones wholesale

* Candle wholesale drop ship supplier

* Fabric and trims

* Cast iron banks

* Home security products home business drop shippers

And this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Although drop shipping sounds like the best thing since sliced bread, finding a wholesaler or a manufacturer to drop ship can be a challenge. Not all wholesalers want to mess with drop shipping and many on the internet who pose as wholesalers are not wholesalers at all…they are cleverly disguised “buying clubs” or “internet malls” designed to separate you from your money. They are drop ship sales scam artists and not dealers with wholesale products to sell.

So, Chris Malta to the rescue. He has compiled a list of drop shippers that his company has personally checked out. He has the staff and know-how to carefully screen every new Drop Shipper they find, and they add new Drop Shipper information to One Source Directory on a daily basis.

And…the Drop Ship Source Directory has over 3,000,000 name brand and specialty products, updated in real time via the Internet. How long would it take you to find that many wholesalers?

If you want to just dip your toe into an internet business, drop shipping is the way to go. Reduce the risk and increase your profits!
