Drop Shippers

Drop shippers have teamed up with websites like EBay to allow you to put up listings using their products, and then when they sell, the drop shipper will ship the products. So you are basically the middleman between the drop shipper and your customer. 

There is a lot of controversy about whether or not you can make money online by using drop shippers. But this is the perfect way to get started as you do not have to have an inventory of products which you may not be able to sell.

Why Use A Drop shipper

Drop shippers allow you to get started with making money online without any costs to you. You don't pay the drop shipper until you place an order. Be careful though as there are drop shippers who will charge a low monthly fee for their services. 

You don't need a warehouse or any kind of storage to store any products. You simply advertise the products on EBay, your website or on your blog. Then when someone places an order from you, you simply place the order with your drop shipper. You just have to make sure you enter your costumer's mailing address and the drop shipper will ship the product directly to your costumer. 

If you do not use a drop shipper you will be required to order large quantities of inventory that you might not be able to sell.

Can You Make Money With Drop Shipping

To be honest with you, you will make a lot more if you have your own warehouse, so that you can buy your products in large shipments. But most people do not have this type of storage or the money to order in large quantities, which is why drop shippers are a convenient way to get started.

The money that you make with drop shipping will be in small amounts as some of the profits that you make will be split between you and the drop shipper.

But be careful who you choose as your drop shipper as some of them are not wholesalers but really are the middleman and the prices you will pay are not wholesale. Dealing with these middleman could very likely end up costing you more than what you make. If you do not get your products at wholesale products you will not make money. 

So always be sure to thoroughly check out each company before you do any business with them.
