Post subject: Drop shipping explanations
Hi everyone
If I was use drop shipping as one of the methods of monetizing my website does one have to be by their computer all the time - or available all the time.
I have a rough idea but could someone please explain to me EXACTLY how drop shipping works.
Dropshipping basically means you advertise a product for sale on your site. Let say it cost $10 from the dropshipper, you then add an extra $5 so you will advertise the product on your site as $15.
When a customer orders the product you keep $5 and pay the dropshipper company $10. You will also need to forward the customer's details to them so that they can send the product to the customer.
So you've sold the product without actually handling it.
About automating the process I think it's better to ask the dropshipper company you are with.
Hope this helps. _________________ Daniel D Dwase
