Dropship Home Business

In a Nutshell

When running a dropship home business, you contact a dropshipper and receive their catalog of products. You then promote these products, online setting your prices with a good profit margin.

The Longer Version

The wholesale dropship market provides some great home business opportunities. It allows any entrepreneur to start a small home business focusing on marketing certain products.


You run your own online store based on your dropshipper's catalog. Once an order is generated, you collect payment from the client, keep the profit to yourself and then send the dropshipper their share along with the client's name and address. The dropshipper takes it from there, delivering the goods directly to your client.


Similarly to affiliate programs, you are not required to buy any inventory or commit to any initial purchase of products. However, unlike most affiliation programs, when you run your own dropship home business  – 
  1. You are the one dealing with the client and in charge of collecting payment.
  2. You set your own prices, allowing you to decide on your desired profit margin according to your niche market.

What Do You Need?

Your initial investment would be in your own website. Look around and you can find turnkey dropship businesses for under $100 on eBay and webmasters forums.

So... How Much will I Make?

Once you get your site traffic going, you can make sales just like any ecommerce site and keep your profit. Depending on products sold and profit margin, you could make up to several thousands of dollars a month.
