5 Dropshipping Reseller Success Stories [2023]
Start A Dropshipping Reseller

Drop shipping is a retail fulfilment method in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer, another retailer, or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer.

Drop shipping doesn't require much investment and it has a low risk because it doesn't require upfront costs. Besides, dropshipping can be a profitable business model for merchants since they do not pay for shipping or cost of product manufacturing.

To start the business follow these steps:

  • Choose a niche
  • Perform competition research
  • Find a reputable manufacturer/supplier
  • Build an online store
  • Market your store
  • Analyze and improve your offering

If you do not want to create a dropshipping business from scratch, you can find a dropshipping business for sale on exchange marketplace.

Hello, my name is Kamil Sattar. I am an entrepreneur who’s developed many six-figure drop shipping businesses. I’ve also created systems to maximize opportunities in different markets and I’ve started companies in many industries.
