Doing a case study on dropshippers - anyone interested?

[JodieVeeqo]

I work for Veeqo, an inventory management software based in Swansea. We're writing a guide to dropshipping for our blog and are looking for people who run (or have run in the past) businesses using dropshipping to provide some quotes.

If anyone is interested in answering the following questions, please comment or DM me. You'll get a backlink to your website, of course,

What made you choose dropshipping?
How did you decide what to sell?
How and why did you choose the sales channel you're selling on?
How did you search for suppliers?
How do you market your dropshipping business?
What would you say are the benefits of dropshipping?
Any drawbacks/obstacles you've had to overcome?
What are the keys to becoming a successful dropshipper?

Please also include a short bio and link to your site.

Thanks!

Hi, I came on this site to ask for advice on drop shipping (thread(Drop shipping software)). I have tried importing from China and selling on eBay, it works, double your money every time...
Problem, I have to dedicate my time to the business, I have to go to the post office every day etc.
Had I continued I could have made money, with much effort a living.
Its not a get rich scheme, be it quick or slow. If sales increase so does the work load... I can only do so much in one day.

The new plan is drop shipping, the reason being that all I need to do is set up suppliers and attract customers. If I can find suitable soft ware, if and when the site his the front page, the money rolls in and I am on the next flight to the beach.

To get on the front page I need ... Well ... ( don't get me wrong I am not going to do this or any other crime) Suppose I set fire to st Paul's and hold my web address aloft on a large banner... Barbados oo...

Some sort of stunt or controversy could be arranged.

I have an idea for a web site that is unlikely to make money, but will get millions of hits, I want to run the nonprofit site and let the drop shipping run its self, advertising the drop shipping produce on the non profit site.

The nonprofit site will cost money to set up, so I plan to start with drop shipping and some sort of stunt.
