I don't believe we have discussed this before. Has anyone ever considered starting a drop-shipping business online? And if so, what kind of products were you looking into?
 
What exactly is drop-shipping business?
It's where you create an online store without having to deal with any actual physical products and shipping.

You create a brand, a site, sell online, etc. but someone else takes care of the 'order fulfillment' - warehousing, shipping, etc.
 
Essentially what Ashlynn mentioned @Demon_skeith. You only have to worry about selling products on whatever platform you use. You don't store or hold any of the actual products
 
I wanted to get into the dropshipping but it seems like the overall structure is not good for me. And I may have to invest into something that could end up loss. So I need to have enough funds to invest into it. I am holding onto this part for now.
 
I started a dropshipping business a couple of years ago. It did not cost me anything to create a dropshipping store but I had to spend $200 on marketing. I only sold 2 products. It was a big loss and I had to shut it down.
What were you selling?
 
I think it is a brilliant business. I was hoping to startup this kind of business in the future.
