Easy to Find Distributors
One of the most common stumbling blocks people face when looking to get into drop shipping sites, is finding suppliers that are willing to drop ship for them. However from my experience this is not hard at all, and I think it’s more of a mental block that people have. Sure you do have to get on the phone and make some calls to companies and explain what you want to do, but trust me, it’s not hard to do!!
Let me encourage you, by telling you about a real scenario that happened to me this very week. I’m not going to give away my niche, however one drop shipping site I’m working on now will be selling major brands in the niche. So the first thing I did was Google for a few of these major brands, so I can find their sites and phone numbers.
Next, I called them up and asked to speak with someone that had information about their distributors. The receptionist put me through to someone, I explained to that person that I wanted to sell their products in a new store I’m building, and could they provide me a list of their distributors. They were more than happy to, and so I had my list. Next step, I called all of these distributors and asked if they would drop ship for me. Some said no, but one said yes, and they also stocked all the brands I needed, so that’s all I needed!
The other option you can use is Alibaba. This is great service for finding suppliers all over the world. Not all of these suppliers will dropship, but again some will. So in closing I think drop shipping is yet another great way to make money online, and hoepfully this post helped you understand a little more about how to make money drop shipping!
Side Note: Experiment
On a side note, I’m doing a small experiment with this post, and seeing where I rank for the search term “make money drop shipping” without doing any link building myself, just relying on Google +1 and the other social links below. If you liked this content, then I would appreciate a Google +1 from you. This way we can all track the ranking of this page in Google and see if it makes much difference. As of now the page is indexed, and is in position 30 in Google USA, so it will be interesting for us all to see if these social votes move the page up. I’ll update this post in a week or so and let you know what happened.
Experiment Update: 29th Nov 2011
OK I said I would update you all on this little experiment above, so here’s what happened.
When I first published this post, it got indexed virtually immediately, which all my posts do, and it came in at position 30 in Google USA for “Make Money Drop Shipping”. That phrase is not super high traffic, but when you blog you want to aim for keywords that you can rank for that get to the top with little backlinking. Not all my posts are done like this as I mostly just want to put out content that I know you all will want to read, but anyway, moving on…
…after a few days when the social votes started to come in, the post moved from position 30 to position 18, where it stayed for another day. Then more socail votes come in and the post jumped up to position 4 in Google. It stayed at position 4 for a few days, and just now when I checked it has bumped up to position 2 in Google, however this may different depending on where you are in the world, for me right now it shows position 2.
I do have a considerable amount of social votes on this post now, over 140 Google +1’s and over 440 Tweets plus 32 Facebook likes!! Not bad going considering the post has only been up a week.
Conclusion: Although this was not the most scientific of experiments, and just something that popped into my mind after I wrote the post, from the movements in Google, it did show some pretty clear trending upwards as I gained more and more social votes, until it got almost to the top. So I think it does show positive signs of these social votes being a clear ranking signal to Google, which makes sense too, because alot of social votes show that people like your content, and hence it must be good quality.
I may do another one of these experiments soon and see what the results show us all.
Thanks
Matt

Great post Matt. I’ve often thought about drop shipping, particularly when I’m actually searching for something to buy for myself and see so many drop shippers on eBay.
I’m wondering if the new course will include how to get into drop shipping using ebay.
Hi Matt,
I’ve been doing some research about this kind of online business and I learn quite few things that is really helpful.
One of the problem in the Dropshipping business is the courier. It’s hard to find cheap couriers. If you know some of them, please share it to us.
This post it’s 3rd position – first page results in G. for your keyword, and 7th for same keyword but “dropshipping” without space:) You the man^^
Hi Matt,
I tried drop shipping about six years ago but I didn´t have too much success at it.
I was drop shipping dvds by selling them on ebay, but by the time I paid the ebay commission and the paypal commission I was hardly left with anything myself.
Because of this experience I never gave drop shipping any more thought.
I realise now though that dvds was just too broad a niche.
From six years ago I am now much more aware of how internet marketing works so I could well try this again at some time.
Many thanks for reawakening this subject for me.

@Nigel,
My story is very similar. My wife and I looked into dropshipping in 2009 using EBay also. The fees were so big that we pretty much abandonded the idea but being a little older and wiser now, it may be the time to reconsider it.
Thanks Matt,
You always keep it interesting!

Hi Matt,
I find every time something new whenever I visit this blog. Always great updates lead to create nice recap. Drop shipping is really a good idea especially when Google loves e-commerce website. One hard point is to get distributor, otherwise great idea.
I am waiting the result of your experiment which u are doing with this post. Thanks
Very interesting post, Matt, and love your goal.
Thanks very much.
Great info Matt- signing up for an Alibaba membership now!
Hi I have always been a fan of the dropshipping idea, biggest problem I found is deciding what to sell that gets a reasonable enough profit, also if you have thousands of products to choose from it can be hard to think how to organise the items, i.e in an estore or individual products, as in a cart you have to work out how postage works with more than 1 item if shipper only sells items individually. I’d be interested to read further blogs on this subject if you do them. Zara x
Thank you Very Much Matt You’re always show a great idea
The problem with oversea suppliers is that you cannot afford the pay the shipping cost for a single item from a foreign country – lose money. You need to find a supplier that ships from the USA – or to whatever country you want to sell to.
Thanks for the information on this. I think I’d have to agree with the drop shipping being more of a mental thing than anything else. For a newbie like me, until you get a grasp of what you’re doing at that moment as far as your website goes, other ideas, such as drop shipping, remain on the back burner until I get a handle on what it’s about. Articles such as this help explain what to expect or at least nudge you in the proper direction.
I make my living on eCommerce. I do 100% drop shipping. Absolutely love it. There are so many un-touched markets that you can get ranked in just a few weeks and have and have extra $500-$1000 a month coming in. I really enjoy it, but it is far more work if you have a product that has alot of returns.
You’re at #2 in Google right now as of 7:55am (pst) Monday morning, 11-28-11. Have you checked out World Wide Brands?
The only real problem I’ve seen in drop shipping is that the margin for profit was too small. In a few instances I could almost buy the product cheaper retail or usually what happens is that the markup put it well over the price of the competition. Same exact product and service, just more expensive. But that was a few years ago so maybe things have improved.
Hi Matt,
I have been using Alibaba for a while and a great resource for those
who want to get into physical products or drop shipping.
You buy wholesale at factory prices and sell this to your site or ebay or amazon.
Great post.
Matt,
This post came right in tiem. I am in contact with a dropshipperr right now, but was not sure about going this way or not.
Your post made me decide to get a little deeper in the subject of dropshipping.
thanks for the great info….as always

I agree with the notion that Google appreciates the ecommerce store model over the thin affiliate WP sites that seem to be overpopulating the serp space.
Hi Matt!
A course came out on dropshipping a year or two ago; it was very pricy, but many felt it was worth the content.
I’ve always heard, like one of your posters said, that after fees, dropshipping isn’t always profitable, or at least not enough worth continuing it.
Let us know about the new course when you’ve tried it.
Will buy your SEO course soon. Everything you put out is gold.
By the way, you are number two in Google for your target keyword. Very impressive! Another reason to buy your course!
Have a good day.
Hi Matt, I gave you a +1 as I’m interested to see if it helps, please let us know the results of the experiment.
With drop shipping do you physically have to pay your suppliers or can this happen automatically through Pay Pal.
Great Mat!!! Like always…
Matt, This is amazing info. Thank you. I went on the Alibaba site and went to the link for the buyers leads under the sell tab. Must be some opportunity there. Will definitely want your new course on this.
Wow, you read my mind. I was just thinking about looking into drop shipping and was wondering where to start. Matt, maybe you should get into the mind reading business!
I just Google+ this article and then I went to Google to check the ranking of this article…it showed up as #2 in Google and I couldn’t find it anywhere on Bing..
Your next article on this subject should be real interesting!
Matt
I actually have had a drop ship site for almost 3 years, and it just continues to do better and better. After doing a few hundred dollars per month my first couple of years with my online store, I’ve now had 4 straight months of $1000 – $1500 in commissions. …SWEET… as I get 20% – 30% commissions on most of the products I sell. That compares to 4% – 10% in “regular” affiliate marketing.
I also now enjoy mostly pg 1 and pg 2 rankings in Google for competitive search terms in my niche (of course it still takes effort with backlinking and good content to do that – but Google always EVENTUALLY gives my site love!)
I was actually fortunate enough to stumble across a drop ship supplier who not only provides me with a stocked website (I simply provide pages of content featuring the products that I do keyword research on and find to be popular), but this company also does ALL of my customer service for me! In nearly 3 years of business I’ve only had to deal with two customers who found my personal contact info – the rest go directly to my supplier for complaints, returns, etc.
It’s the only legit one like that that I’ve found – and believe me I’ve looked! (I wish I could spill the beans about who and what niche, but I’d be cutting my own throat! LOL).
But even with having the hassles of having to do my own customer service and building my own ecomm web store from scratch, I’m sure I’ll eventually open another ecomm dropship store. It’s just so much easier to rank and make higher commissions!

One thing about drop shipping is that there are a BUNCH of scams out there looking to take your money. Be careful and research any and all organizations before giving them any money. Search whether there have been scam claims or complaints about each (although realize that there are always going to be a couple of disgruntled people who are just trying to cause problems – so consider the number of complaints you find and the severity).
World Wide Brands gets an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau (last I checked), so they seem as legit as any. Blueprint Black Edition (and all earlier editions of it) offers a great course on dropshipping. (I’ve gone through the course but have not built a site yet using it).

This is what I’ve been working for the last two years. I learn so much from your courses about Seo for my site. Look forward to see more posts like this
Hi Matt,
I run across potential drop shippers quite a bit. One in the last couple of weeks I have been thinking about……but I really don’t want to collect the money. I really am spoiled by affiliate marketing! 🙂 I don’t want to deal with my own shopping cart, etc.
However, that being said, I recognize the potential of this business model.
Is there an easy way to handle the money side? Collect the money and track the sales and automatically send this to the company for dropshipping?
Thanks for taking the lead on this,
April

Hi April
This model does take more responsibility, but remember you can get repeat customers with your own store with most affiliate sites never get. There are advantages of both.

Great Info Matt. You always bring home the bacon! LOL
On the same note, I looked into this type of business model a while back and another site that I came up with is Doba dot com. You can google them. They have a free 7 day trial if you want to take a look at their catalog and see whether or not they work for you.
Thanks!
Thank you Matt for sharing another great idea with us. I’ll surely try it out.
I just keep wondering how you can just rank so easily in the search engines. Its simply amazing!
A long way to go….
Hi Matt
Good article. I have been building bigger ecommerce type sites since most of my small affiliate sites got wiped out from Panda.
It’s true that Google seems to treat these sites more kindly and I like the fact that you rank for many longtail keywords instead of having to fight for just one.
Also if you look at top results for many product keywords you can see they are often dominated by e commerce sites. Hint, hint.
Right now I build my sites around Amazon and other affiliate programs. I have considered drop shipping because you make more on each sale.
What has stopped me is having to deal with returns. It is my understanding that except for defective items which the shipper handles you are stuck with refunding and keeping them. Refunding is not that big of a deal but what do you with all those returned products? Personally I dont have space to store and reship them. Do you know if there are drop shippers that handle this as well?

Hey Matt,
Great post. I like the idea of drop shipping and adding a portfolio of real goods that I can promote and make decent commissions with. I have heard many people say the commissions are so much larger than you could possibly get with an Amazon or similar physical goods affiliate program. I’d like to hear the results of the +1 experiment too.

Hey, Matt,
Thanks for the info and encouragement to get into drop-shipping. I tried it for a couple years but my main problem, I believe, was that I had the company I was working with create my website. Of course it was then identical to a number of other sites out there that they had also created. Knowing what I know now, I don’t think Google liked that and I never ranked well and only made a few dollars. I also had to go with their hosting, which cost me more than I was making, so I eventually dropped the whole thing. Now I would like to try again, building my own site and in a niche I’m more familiar with. I joined IM Masters and am excited to learn from them all about creating ecommerce sites, but am also interested in the course you said you were working on in that area. Thanks again for all your help!

I’m currently working hard on my first site after enjoying your Rapid Formula program, however this is more excellent information I plan to put into action in the near future. In the past I tried drop shipping from a China based distributor, and selling on Ebay. I had some sales, and was dropped from Ebay. Obviously I didn’t know what I was doing, and that why I was so happy to find your Affiliate Marketing site. Now I can learn the correct way. Thanks!

Hi Matt,
One company that I purchased their drop ship directory from is World Wide Brands. In the catalogs the founder Chris Malta has fully researched the distributors and manufacturers so that the seller can actually make a profit from these products. Many drop ship directories the products are already marked up very high and the seller can not make a profit from these products. I am not an affiliate of World Wide Brands but hope this info is helpful to your subscribers.

I would stress you need to use caution when dealing with vendors that are listed on Alibaba. Most are foreign suppliers, I live in the US for clarification. A lot of them deal in knock-offs, cheap versions of the real products themselves. Ask a lot of questions. See if they will send a sample of the product or products you are interested in.
I do have much experience with Alibaba. Overall my experience has been good. Some not so good. Be certain before you act

Hi Matt I enjoyed the post, I experemented last year with drop shippimg and it was quite successful, I was using a major brand (Dr Who Stuff) fro charecter online, they were very helpful and I had good success by simply doing seo for major cities here in the UK, Maps doesn’t list for what I was selling so it was quite easy to get the pges onto page one, usually position 1, so I know it works, but here’s the thing to note, my highest traffic periods was when major retailers ran out of the products, so it was always a rush to find what was sort in the shops and check to see if indeed they were still in stock at the supplier, if they were bingo, if not then I would have to alter the site to show out of stock (I replaced it with a pre order button) as I knew when they would be back in stock, anyway to cut a long story shorter Lol It proved too much like hard work – digital downloads never go out of stock, so I now concentrate on those, although it’s getting tougher out there.
The other thing to do is make sure you have google ads on the site, because other people were advertising on adwords, and when something big went out of stock – up went the adwords revenues. – free training people! this worked well and even though I do not drop ship anymore from this site it still does well on ad revenue.
Anyway thanks for all of your hepl over the years Matt, you have taught me a lot so I hope this little gem goes some way to paying you back.
All the best

Nice summary on the Dropshipping biz Matt. I enjoy your SEO videos and have learned some great on affiliate marketing as well as some great backlink building tips to boot.
I didn’t see you mention my favorite dropshipping locator site (worldwidebrands.com) which for US dropshippers is a goldmine, they offer a list of all companies that will do business with you dropshipping and offer all of the contact info too. I signed up with them about 3 years ago and have been doing great since using only dropshipping. Never touched a single product, LOL. I started out on ebay and then after the fee hikes and changes transitioned over to ecrater and started my own free e-commerce store there selling [url=http://spygearfactory.ecrater.com]eBooks, DVD Players, TV Parts, and Various Electronics[/url] Check out our store to see a great example of a free site that ranks well across the board. If anyone needs any tips getting started I would be happy to assist in any way. Thanks again MATT for the awesome info….
I take a part in experiment with pleasure. Nice blog and helpful information as usual.

Your post is at #4. Yes “drop shipping” can be a lucrative ebiz. Although it has some similarities to affiliate marketing it does require a bit more thought and careful planning. Having a reliable supplier and a product that has both a hungry market and a reasonable profit margin would be major factors to consider as well as delivery time since most customers don’t want to be waiting too long for the goods after they’ve parted with their money. Look forward to your future revelations of your secret niche.

Matt,
Another interesting topic. My biggest question is raising one’s level of exposure to liability when accepting the responsibility for handling the money – both from the customer and to the vendor?
It seems that online security would play an even bigger role once you start selling and buying for others through the internet.
Then I guess you would also need to keep a reserve account in-place for quickly handling the refund costs of returned merchandise plus those return shipping charges as well? On bigger ticket items like washers, dryers, etc. that could be substantial!
On the surface it looks like the rewards of this business model would need to highly out-weigh the lower risks of affiliate marketing in order to justify the extra hassle.
But I’m certainly looking forward to more information.
Thanks for the new idea!

LOL, I started doing this one month ago. Spot on Matt as always.
Matt,
I’ve had a drop ship business for almost 10 years and have made a pretty consistent $1000/month from it. I deal directly with the manufacturer or their exclusive US distributor and they’re more than happy to ship for me.
On the topic of Google, you’re absolutely right! Google likes ecommerce stores and will rank properly SEO prepared pages very highly. Several of my pages rank in the top three, sometimes one for each of the brands I sell. So that means # 1, 2 AND 3 are mine in some cases. (Of course longevity counts, too)
The only drawback to a dropshipping business is the ongoing work that goes into it. I have to be here to handle customer service and answer questions a few hours a day and it helps a lot if a person knows something about what they’re selling. So it’s not a true passive income like affiliate marketing but it’s more rewarding in the long run – it’s a real business you build.
How to find suppliers? Last I knew, there was a business that sold a directory of suppliers who will drop ship and that might be worth looking into.
Keep up the great work Matt. I just got my wife to subscribe to your mail list and get the free video training. I’ve also recommended you on Linkedin a few times.
Owen
In this post you talked about searching out the distributor yourself. Would it be better to use a service like doba that does the legwork for you and charges a small fee each month but has a wide variety of products?
I hope to try out drop shipping one day – for now though, I feel it is best to stick with affiliate marketing, so that I can learn a few basics (a whole lot of stuff, actually) before I tackle this.
So I guess what I am thinking about is, first doing affiliate marketing, then possibly drop shipping, then maybe actually buying wholesale and doing shipping (hate the idea, but that might be where the profit is).
Hello matt, your experiment seems to be working because you’re now rank number one for the term “make money drop shipping”. that one hell of a job with out any backlinking.
Thanks for the info Matt. I must admit I do like ecommerce and tried dropshipping a few years ago selling on ebay and was quite successful. The only ‘pain’ I found was with faulty products that needed to be returned – however the company I was working with was very good but at the time I found it too much hassle but have been thinking about it quite a bit lately and doing some research.
Do you know much about Amazon’s FBA and would it work for someone in Australia or would shipping products to them be just too expensive. Would be really interested to know if you’ve done any research into this.
Thanks again for all the great info.
Kind regards
Annette
Hey Matt!
I used this model several years ago when I was running ebay stores.
The only problem I had was with inventory issues. I solved that, in part anyway, by keeping an inventory of the most popular items on hand. This gave me a HUGE advatage during peak sales periods.
Amazing stuff as always Matt, this is something that I would like to learn more about as well, would like to see a webinar on drop shipping, and seo exerpts adacemy is incredible by the way!
Interesting. I always just assumed dropshipping was very hard to be succesful at but your post is making me think twice. Thanks for the post.
