SEO Tip For Dropshippers

When selecting a domain for your dropship store, choose one with your main product name in it.  If you are selling ‘patio furniture’, then try to include this in your domain.  But don’t make your domain too long and clunky, keep it as short and sweet as possible.  For example ‘mypatiofurniture.com’ or ‘patioheaven.com’ make nice domain names but ‘low-cost-patio-furniture-online.com’ does not, yuck!  Remember also the importance of branding and try and come up with a domain that is easy to remember.  The search engines love keywords in the domain and it could make the difference in your SEO campaign!

What Product Should You Dropship?

I’m going to tell you one simple tip about choosing a product to dropship that may make the difference for you.  Sell high end niche products with a profit margin that leaves you plenty of room to advertise!  This way you can start selling immediately with PPC Advertising.  In other words you don’t want to sell something for $9.95 when it may cost you that or more to get a customer.  You want a product you can sell for $295.00 that brings in a profit of $95.00.  Now you have room to advertise and if you spend $25 to get that new customer, so what, you’ve still made $70.00!  The key to finding success dropshipping online is in selling higher end niche merchandise.  I keep mentioning snowboards on this blog as they are a perfect example of the type of product you want to drop ship.  There is a big enough profit margin that will both leave you room to advertise and make a nice profit.  Don’t waste your time on the perfect store that sells every little thing you can think of, go high end niche and cash in.  Afterall, you’re dropshipping and there is no need to carry any inventory, so go for the gold!

Finding Drop Ship Suppliers

Finding true drop ship suppliers can be a difficult task.  To start many of the directories both on and off the web are filled with outdated lists and spam and are a complete waste of money and time.  Many other dropship companies claim to be true drop ship wholesale suppliers and even offer automated stores where you can start selling their products instantly.  But when you do some further investigation into their pricing you often find you are paying retail and above and this makes it very difficult to make money in the drop ship business.
