Straight to the Source: A Guide To Dropshipping

Imagine that you were going to start you own online business this afternoon. Let’s say it’s an umbrella website. Where would you purchase the umbrellas from? How would you package them? How would you ship them? What would you do to get people to your website in the first place? How would you even set up the website? How do you handle returns? What about filing your taxes at the end of the year? All these questions and more will be answered in subsequent chapters. This book is designed to teach you how to sell products online. Products for online resale are generally purchased wholesale or from a dropshipper. Both these systems will be examined, as will most other aspects of setting up an online business. From choosing a product to selling on eBay to marketing your website, this book will walk you through the process step by step.
