Introduction on how to sell online without inventory
Believe it or not, selling online without inventory is so cost-effective because you are not buying stock in or carrying it. All you are doing is promoting products on your website that others want to buy. The merchant or manufacturer organize the packing and delivery. So, if you think this is of interest to you then read on.
Here you will learn a simple method of making money online…
The great thing is you can sell without carrying inventory or having to worry about shipping either. So, because you aren’t carrying stock, it also requires little capital to get started. Isn’t that great? The process is called ‘drop-shipping‘.
Drop Shipping means it’s done by someone else so you don’t have to…
The way drop-shipping works is…
A: you place digital ads and display them on your website…
B: a visitor to your website clicks the ad which takes them to the merchants’ site…
C: the visitor then purchases from the merchant who does the rest of the work for you – taking the order and payment, then arranging shipping and delivery, and also paying you a commission.

You are earning a commission from the merchant…
When you register with a merchant to promote, advertise and sell their product on your website, you are identified by your very own unique identification code. This code is tracked via the merchants’ link from your website when a sale is made.

Drop shipping has always intrigued me, but I have never had the time to look further into it.
Would you reckon this is a better route to go than affiliate marketing, or is it basically the same thing?
Anything where you don’t need to keep and ship out stock is a great idea to me.
Hi Michel
Thanks for stopping by. To answer your question, this article describes a form of affiliate marketing where there is a merchant and a promoter or an affiliate who is rewarded by the merchant for the affiliates marketing efforts. Phew, thats was almost a mouthful… So it’s a ‘no hassel’ if I can say that, way to get started as well as a cost effective way, as you are not holding unsold stock that you’ve paid for. You can also get started fairly quickly depending on how much effort you put into it,…and you have the right support to get your website up and running like the people at Wealthy Affiliate. I wish you every success in the future!

This way of making money is actually pretty simplistic, yet also very difficult from what it seems.
I mean, on one hand, you really don’t have any control over your inventory, only on your prices – which is a huge limit.
There’s also the fact that most products that you can dropship are fairly mundane, something which makes the competition vast.
On the other hand, it’s very easy to get started and doesn’t require much direct involvement.
Truth be told, I’m not sure what to do.
Cheers, Vlad!
Hi Vlad. Thanks so much for your comments. There is certainly enough of a product range to capture ones interest or niche and that’s the place to start I think especially if you are new to this type of marketing. So go with that in the first instance if you want to give it a crack. Your right, it’s easy to get started but be sure to get the right support from those who know what they are doing, it’ll save you a lot of time.
Kind regards
Rina
Hi, Rina. Thanks for this wonderful post. I have been hearing the term dropshipping for some time now and was really wondering what the heck it was. More importantly, I had heard that you can make some decent money this way so I figured I would learn more about it and see if it was something I could see myself doing.
After looking over the explanation that you give here, I think that this might be something I could do. I just need to decide on a specific niche and start building a website it looks like. Do you know anywhere I could go to build a website cheap and easy?
