What is Dropshipping?

Dropshipping is a business model in which the seller does not have products in stock. Instead, when a customer places an order, the seller sends it directly to the supplier, who handles the shipment to the end customer.

How to Start a Dropshipping Business?

Step 1: Choose the Product

First of all, we need decide what product we are going to sell. If you don't have a preference for the product we're going to promote, we recommend choosing something that has a good markup and is light enough that shipping won't cost you a lot.

The best dropshipping products are in high demand and little competition in the market. Some dropshippers, for example, sell popular items like colored LED lights. Dropshippers can also sell industrial products like heat lamps or car parts. It usually takes some market research and some trial and error to discover a great dropshipping niche.

Step 2: Choose the Provider

Once we have chosen the product, we will need find a supplier that is willing to dropship to our customers. This is where it comes into play AliExpress.com.

AliExpress is a China-based e-commerce platform that provides retailers around the world with access to quality products at very competitive prices. Best of all, many of the providers offer dropshipping, so we don't have to worry about storing and shipping the products to our customers.

To find AliExpress suppliers that offer the dropshipping service, we simply have to follow these steps:

• Sign in or register on AliExpress.com
• Find the product we want to sell
• Select “Drop Shipping” in the supplier search filter
• Contact the supplier to confirm that they offer the Dropshipping service

Step 3: Create online store

Once we have found a supplier, the next thing will be create an online store to promote and sell our products. If you don't have web development experience, you can use an eCommerce platform like Shopify, which allows you to create and host an online store with little effort.

Also WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce platform that can be used to create an online store. It is a plugin of WordPress, so you will need to have a website with WordPress installed before you can use it.

Step 4: Promote the products

Once we have our store up and running, it's time to start promoting our products. The best way to do this is by using affiliate marketing as you will only pay affiliates when sales are generated.

Another popular method of promoting products online is content marketing, which involves creating and sharing relevant content (such as blog posts, videos, and images) about the product we have for sale. In addition, Facebook Ads may be used to drive traffic to our online store.

After that, you will start to acquire customers and when an order is placed you must contact your supplier to send their product directly to the customer.
