Selling physical product is how I make most of my income on the internet. Once you have done your market research and keyword research the next step is sourcing products to sell in your e-commerce store.

I can remember trying to find a trustworthy source for a list of available drop shippers. Sure you can Google it, but you never know who is a rip-off and who is really reliable. If you build the store front and put all of that time, money and energy into it, you want to make sure the drop shipper will be able to deliver when you make that first sale. Cha-ching!

Otherwise you are out of luck and it is back to square one. That can be frustrating. Maybe you are just wanting to test a particular market and don't want to load up your garage or spare bedroom with physical inventory that you are not sure that will sell or not. If you are at this particular cross roads in your business, you can't afford to take risks. That is why most entrepreneurs wanting to sell physical product online start by drop shipping.

Here are some advantages of drop shipping.
1. low risk and small investment
2. test the market before you invest in inventory
3. spend your time on improving your search engine positioning instead of shipping orders yourself
4. have the lifestyle of working from home and being your own boss
5. operate multiple stores selling a variety of products
6. capitalize on hot trends in the marketplace quickly by having a source to find new innovative products
7. utilize selling on E-Bay, Amazon and more

You need to find qualified wholesale suppliers to cash in on the above advantages. Don't go through a middleman, you will pay more for your products, have a low profit margin and not be able to compete on a level playing field.

If you are interested in buying closeout, overstocked or discontinued merchandise to sell on Ebay, then liquidation wholesalers are the kind of businesses you want to be affiliated with.

There are many methods I have used to source products for my multiple online business and I will be writing more about these in upcoming news.
