Does anyone know about drop shipping? and how to start my own business?

I recently spoke to a Man (in passing at starbucks) and he said he was making money by selling wholesale items on his personal website and using a drop ship company. but when I look online everyone is trying to be the middle man and take advantage. Anyone out there know a real whole sale drop ship company that I can trust?

I already answered one of your other questions… it's hard to find anything online from companies who aren't taking a cut. In order to avoid the "middleman" as you put it… you would have to go direct to a person who produces the products you want to dropship. This will take time and energy… and you won't get much veriety. You can make money if you look for products that have a market but not a million people selling it. So even if you go with a company like the one below… don't try to dropship ipods like everyone else. Find a nitch market. Beyond that… you need to get with importers who will sell you something in bulk for a lower price. Most importers will not dropship.

  1. First of all, what products are you looking to sell before thinking about accumulating information about dropshippers.

    You can search for companies which dropships wholesale items on tradekey.com / alibaba.com / sulekhab2b.com.
