How to Find Products to Sell Online

Posted on Jan 27, 2009 09:21:51 AM

When it comes to selling online one of the biggest challenges people face is finding products to sell. You basically have 3 main options when it comes to finding products to sell online. You can either buy wholesale, use a drop shipper or you can sell a product that you created yourself. In this article I will discuss drop shipping with you.

Drop shipping allows you to sell quality, name brand products without having to worry about order fulfillment.

Drop shipping is when the retailer (you) does not keep goods in stock, but instead passes the customer’s order and shipment details to the wholesaler (the drop shipper), who then dispatches the goods to the customer directly. The retailer (you) makes their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price.

Most all drop shippers charge a drop ship fee. This fee is normally no more then $2.00. The drop shipper warehouses the products for you, ships the products for you and deals with returns for you among other things. All of that work costs them money so they charge a small drop ship fee to help cover those expenses.

Here is a list of reputable drop shippers to help you get started. I took the time to check with the Better Business Bureau to make sure all these companies have a good record. You may do your own research by going to www.bbb.com.
