Now everyone wants to find a way to make a little extra from home, and the easiest way to do so is by drop shipping as it does not require a lot of up front money!
First recap on the drop shipping. You DO NOT have to purchase the large quantity of inventory, so you don’t have to have investment capital! No need for storage space, and you don’t have a headache of shipping and handling! The real wholesale supplier will send a product for you, from their warehouse, directly to your customer. SO really great, and before you even submit your order to the drop shipper, you will collect the money from your customer. Great isn’t it?
Now, this business module is really great and attracts a lot of people to selling online, but it also attracts a low of fake wholesale suppliers.
Here is what you should watch out for and how to spot them:
- First warning is if they offer all of the products at one place, with nice pictures and product information just ready for you to sell!
- They will drop ship all the products for you from that one location
- The idea is going to be so attractive, because with one drop ship company you get it all
- They will charge you a monthly or yearly processing fee (no refund)
- You will build sites, you wait for profits to start pouring in, and in the end, you will earn nothing, and you just wasted a bunch of your time!
If you do get few orders in, you should count your self lucky.
But the worst is, you will lose a lot of time and money looking for an easy profits. Along the way you had to buy domain, or couple of them, you had to buy hosting, and you had to pay for their membership. Ouch! This is at least $500 right there.
The reality is, if this happens to you, you just got scammed by one of the most popular scams online.
But if you really want to make profits, you have to find the true wholesale suppliers! That is the only way.
The problem for many people is finding the real wholesale suppliers. WHY? Because they don’t advertise online! Yet again, WHY? Because if they did, they would get thousands of calls from every scammer and every possible person who want s to sell online.
The suppliers are not crazy. They do know that online sales are increasing every year. They also know that they have to connect with those online retailers, but they are being careful about it. They want the legit businesses to contact them. And you can only get in touch with them if you do have a legit business.
That is the only way you will be in direct contact with the actual Wholesale Supplier or factory source. The real wholesale suppliers and manufacturers are going to advertise their business through wholesale directories such as the Worldwide Brands Directory
