What is Drop Shipping?
The definition of Drop Shipping is; move (goods) from the manufacturer directly to the retailer without going through the usual distribution channels. This can be difficult to understand if you don’t know what a manufacturer is or understand distribution channels.
In simpler terms, Drop-shipping is when a person, or company, sells goods on their website that they do not keep in stock. When an order is received, they send those orders to another company to ship the goods directly to the buyer. Because they are middlemen, they may charge more money. I know what you’re thinking, is this legal? Yes, in fact there are many dropshippers/retailers that you shop with everyday. Target and Walmart would fall under the reseller category and sites like Forever 21, Temu, Shein; some of the products are drop shipped if not provided by the company its self.

This is not a get rich quick scheme, but if you’re into building multiple streams of income this one is definitely one to have in your arsenal. If you have a good following on social media, and have places that you can promote this can be a great return on your investment. The beauty of this is, you don’t have to pay for product up front, or pay for storage. Once the customer places their order, you then in turn pay the manufacturer to ship the item directly to the customer. Now, normally with the drop shipped products they’re on a market place app within shopify; such as Modalyst. Platforms like Modalyst allow you to integrate products into your website, you hook your payment information to it and it's a couple of clicks to process your order. They will either send a blank box with the product, or you have some private label companies that will put your business information on the product for you. (They do charge extra within the product price for this service)
Now you don’t need a lot to start this, really just a cell phone can do. If you do have a laptop that will help in the building process of your website. Again, there is no guarantee that this will solve all of your financial problems overnight; but this will definitely help you in the long run if its successful.
