How Can I Find a Drop Shipper for (PARTICULAR) Items?

When going thru different forums, very often I can see people ask:

Where can I find a drop shipper for toy items? Where can I find a drop shipper for lingerie, Where can I find a drop shipper for DVD? Where and I find......

I think these people are putting their focus in a wrong place. Why in the first place you have determine what you should sell before you have started your drop shipper search? This is a common mistake that most people tend to sell something they WANT or LIKE themselves.

It's TOTALLY wrong. If you like something, go buy it. You don't have to work on it. You may not have the advantage to sell it.

Take the branded digital products in our previous discussion as an example. You can never beat the big retail store while they can get good price in wholesale based on their scale. It's just a waste of time to try selling these items as an individual.

You should first look for a list of drop shippers and a list of items offered (by whatever means). Then do a research in the market (probably eBay) and see what price most people are selling at. Calculate and see what profit margin you can make. Start selling if you find it's possible to develop a profitable business.

That's it. This is the way you should do. Even if you don't like the items you sell, what a big deal? You won't necessarily touch the items yourself. You should sell what your customers like, not what you want.
