A lot of times what attracts people to the concept of dropshipping is the get rich quick and easy. Especially for people new to the dropshipping those ads can be very appealing. At least I know it caught my attention at first. In a sense these types of ads are a good thing for the dropshipping industry as it brings more about more dropshippers. But in another sense it can be very damaging to the dropshipping industry and just give dropshipping a bad name to say the least.

Dropshipping in reality, is not a Get Rich Quick quick scheme for the most part. Because of this reason, some people call dropshipping a scam because many companies out there will give the idea that it is easy money, where in fact it is just like any other business which requires work and determination along with patiences for growth. Hopefully my opinion here will broaden the view of both the people that think dropshipping is an get rich quick scheme and the people that think its all just all a big scam. Because for the most part it is neither. There are dropshipping companies that are scams just like there are with most internet businesses. There are also instants where you can get find dropshipping is a get rich scheme. It does happen but just not very likely. In instants that it does happen, comes when you find an untapped source. When it comes to the internet, if you are able to find something that people will want, and are the only one selling it. You can easily make a lot of money unlike if you were selling at a physical retail store. The truth of the matter is that lots of people that shop on the internet do so because one it’s easy and secondly they are looking for things they can’t find in their neighborhood. For example the company Cafepress that allows you to sell personalized items. There are people that make quite a bit of money with them even though their prices are extremely high. Their base price for their sellers are already more expensive then what you would normally pay as an end user consumer but why are some people still able to make money? Because their personalized items, therefore if they want it, it might be just the only place they can get it. Hopefully I have been able to erase some of the myths and fables of dropshipping for some people.

One thing about selling on the internet as oppose to having a business on corner of a street is that when selling on the internet, you have the potential to sell to many more people. There are things that are better when it comes to selling products at one physical location. One being it usually takes more effort for your consumers to buy from your competitors if they are already at your store or shop; but having the whole world as your potential customer is not one of them. So while you are selling on the internet, try to sell to as many people as you can and are able to. This sounds like a given doesn’t it?

The reason why I made this post is because I have been seeing a lot of individuals, especially people living in the UK that will say things like. “I want to find a dropshipper from the UK ” or “I’m only interested in selling to the UK” Honestly, who cares where dropshippers are based, as long as you can make a profit. That’s the point isn’t it? I mean if you want to sell to the UK, fair enough. But there are lots of other dropshippers out there that are not based in the UK but will shipped to the UK or world-wide so to speak. Some dropshippers will even allow you to pick the currency you want to use on your site, so I don’t see the point of closing your eyes to the potential dropshippers you have available to work with or to the available people you could sell to world wide. I’m sure there may be some slight benefit from using a dropshipper from your home country. Maybe it’s easier to communicate to them for you. The point is by having your options open, the benefits you get from this will most likely always outweigh the Cons.

Sorry for those that may think this is a pointless post, but the fact of the matter is that there are people out there that will only work with dropshippers from they live and only sell to the region where they live. This defeats one of the advantages for having an internet business. You may or may not have seen this, but I’ve personally seen it multiple of times and it’s almost as it just ingrained in their behavior without any logical reasoning.

So all I have to say is if your selling on the internet. Open your mind, consider the possibilities of selling world-wide if you have that option. And leave your options open for dropshipping companies wherever they are based. The unexpected place, just maybe the most profitable as no one expected it and you’ll be the first to find this untapped source.

Optimizing your site to get better organic search results. This is one of the most important marketing stragtery to an longterm successful dropshipping site yet I find it’s one of the most neglected form of advertising many beginners put effort into. In my experience I have noticed that there are lots dropshippers out there that think. “Hey, I’ll just find some cool products, put them out research on some nice keywords and use Google Adword pay per click program.” A person that thinks like this is most likely dreaming. In most cases PPC program will not be able to generate the sales needed for your business. When you are paying like 30 cents per click, there’s only so much traffic you can afford. And most of the time due to inexpierence I see dropshippers just throwing away money with Google Adwords. How do you determine if your Adwords program are worth the money, I will go into that some other day but today lets talk about SEO basics.
