I'm looking for someone that can provide me with a range of stocked products on a dropshipping type basis, although i'd set a script up via my email, which would forward any questions straight onto to your store.

I'd need an answer and i'd copy and paste and reply to the customer - i only need this as i'm at College so dont have time to be answering to customers all day.

Anyone thats interested let me know
 
well you need to think if this is the sort of business for you.

You have to put a certain amount of effort in yourself. Plenty of dropshippers operate on a part time basis and process emails, orders in the evenings

Dropshippers are unlikely to accept mail forwarding of questions, if they did they may as well just deal directly with your customer themselves!

As stated many people set up online businesses and run them part time or in the evenings around a full time job or college, I did that myself with mine when I started out - though I never dropshipped, but I have with another business.

As you'll no doubt read from many other dropshipping posts this week dropshipping can still be hard work and for less margin generally than holding your own stock, you need to have a niche to concentrate on if you want to succeed with it.

If you have no time to spend on it then perhaps the affiliate route might be a better way, until a time when you can focus on which products you want to sell.

sorry Kwackers but for you to think you can set up a store and it will run it self whilst you reap the rewards is just not going to happen

the truth is you will only get out of the business what you put in, and you need to put in more than you think

my business is set up to be part time and straight forward and easy to run as i work full time, but it still takes up alot of my spare time and hard work for a smallish return


if you want to run a business around college go self employed and do something like window cleaning as its not far of job finish work, and you can fit it around your studies

Everything takes work and that includes dropshipping. And if you really serious about, the first step is to decide what you want to sell.

but even with an affiliate business you still have to invest time, effort and cash.

Affiliate sites still need SEO, adwords and all that stuff to be sucessful

Simply putting a site of affiliate links up will get you nowhere, nothing is easy in this life and even less so trading on t'internet

probably not from an order fulfillment perspective but you still need to be on top of links, products etc

horses for courses really, returns obv better with the more effort you put into the site

I've ran my own business where i had to order the stock in, that just isn't going to work, and like you say lots of time for small return, i'd rather go and work for somebody else.

It's not the time, but the commitment to time, college works comes first and i can't be delaying orders etc because i have an assignment to do.

I've played with affiliates before, and did ok, so i think i'll just go down that route.

Thanks
