• Drop Shipping

Using the coffee company as an example, you might want to add a couple of new coffee blends to your online offerings. You don’t want to tie up all your cash in inventory, especially because you’re not sure how well the new blends will sell.

Your coffee supplier agrees to create the blends and keep a small amount on hand at its facility. When a customer places an order for one of the new blends on your e-commerce site, your supplier ships bags of coffee directly to your customer.

This is the basic drop-shipping fulfilment model: no fulfilment centre, just you, your customers, and your supplier.

A good website you can start with drop shipping is Shopify. Not everyone will succeed but everyone has the chance to succeed. So how can you become the 1% who succeed? Hard Work and Perseverance. you have to keep working on it, creating a successful dropshipping business will take time.
