In this blog post we're going to cover everything about how to start your own dropshipping business, from finding suppliers who are willing to sell their products wholesale, to setting up a Shopify store that showcases those products in the most user-friendly way possible. We'll even go over some of the best ways that new e-commerce entrepreneurs can start earning money online without spending any money at all. Let's take a look...


Know Where To Start

Before you can figure out how to get your products into the hands of consumers, you need to first figure out where to get them. Now, this may seem like a trivial thing to say, but it can actually save you a lot of time, frustration, and money in the long run. First, you’ll need to decide what type of products you’re going to sell. There are no rules when it comes to deciding what type of products you want to start selling, but there are some things you should keep in mind as you decide. The first thing you should keep in mind when you’re determining what type of products you want to sell is the type of people who would buy those products. There are a few different factors to consider here.


Dropshipping 101

Now, there’s a lot to learn, so let’s quickly break everything down into a step-by-step process. The first thing you’ll need to do is find suppliers who are willing to sell their products wholesale. Now, to find these suppliers, you’ll need to get a little more hands on. All right, you’ll need to go to Alibaba, and search for suppliers who sell to dropshippers. You can search by category, or by search term to find the suppliers who sell to dropshippers. Once you’ve found these suppliers, you need to go through their listings, one by one, and contact the dropshippers who are selling the products.


What You Need To Start Dropshipping

The next thing you need to figure out is how to get your products into the hands of consumers. If you’re only planning to sell a single type of product, you could potentially have a store that’s just full of that one product. But if you’re planning to sell items from a variety of different suppliers, you’re going to need a dropshipping store that’s able to showcase as many products as possible. With that in mind, we’re going to break down the different pieces of your e-commerce store and go over what you need to have.
