Drop Shipping: Why One Simple Change Can Help You Build The Lifestyle Of Your Dreams

Some people turn to the Internet to make money because they've heard its keyboards are paved with gold

. Many are pulled in by get rich quick schemes and still others are attracted by the perception of the Internet entrepreneur's lifestyle.

Lounging by the pool, living the jet set life or simply bumming around the world without having to worry about income, all these seem very attractive. Even to those who have a more down to earth view of what their life could be (and more modest requirements) the seduction of the Internet lifestyle is powerful.

It may not be in what you gain, but in what you lose. The cubicle, the boss, the nine to five, the daily commute, the tie, even socks and shoes can be cast off when you embrace the net and plug in to the new. And if ties and socks were never your thing, how about an opportunity to spread your wings and build your business while staying at home with the kids.

And none of this means you are shirking, becoming a burden to society or throwing off the work ethic. Smart phones and laptops keep us in touch wherever we are. With the right organization you can control your global empire from the beach, but can you build the empire there?

From the very beginning of the Internet, most of the items sold were web related. Tutorials on how to use it, information on how to profit from it, software to manipulate it; all web related items for sale on the web.

Few of these items had physical presence. Many could be downloaded instantly, others were created on demand. Amazon showed that physical products could be sold, but selling physical products on the web would mean throwing away the dream.

You might escape the cubicle and the boss, but you'd be forever tied to a warehouse and the grind of shipping products.

Drop shipping has changed all that. Using a drop ship supplier an Internet business owner can concentrate on finding customers and leave the rest of the business, actually supplying the customer, to a third party.

Drop ship suppliers act like wholesalers, only they don't require you to buy in bulk. In fact, they don't require you to buy at all until the customer buys from you. Most drop shippers provide files giving the details of their products (including pictures).

You choose which of those products to sell on your website making sure that when a customer places an order with you the order is transmitted direct to the drop ship supplier, who then takes the item from his warehouse, charges you for it, packs and ships it direct to your customer.

Establishing a business based on this model means that you can concentrate on the essentials, spend money on building a website which will convert visitors into customers, and most importantly on attracting those visitors in the first place.

There is no need to spend money on inventory you don't know you can sell, and the risk involved in the whole venture is, as a result greatly reduced. What's more, the drop shipping model is a great way to build a business which can grow as sales increase.

Building an online store of any kind is hard work, but it can be very enjoyable as well as very lucrative. Using a drop ship supplier means you have no ties to a physical warehouse; you can run your business from a laptop and live where you want.

One simple change to your business model can give you the lifestyle other people only dream of.
