10 Online Businesses: Ecommerce

Ecommerce can be a profitable business model for those with the right resources and software tools.

Traditional ecommerce requires a lot of moving parts.

For example, you need to have an online store, partnership with manufacturers, ability to purchase items in bulk, a warehouse to store your inventory, not to mention staff to handle the orders, delivery and customer support.

While it can definitely be a worthwhile business due to the potential high margins of your product sales, it may be necessary to build a large team just to run it, and it would still be a lot of work to manage.

The good news is that there is a grand solution to this dilemma, and it is called dropshipping.

Dropshipping is a partnership between you and a supplier, where you are responsible only for the online store and taking orders, while the dropshipper handles all the inventory and shipping on your behalf.

For example, you build an online store and promote the products, and when the orders come in, you forward all the necessary details over to the dropshipper so they can package up the goods and send them to the customers.

If you prefer to sell printed items, such as t-shirts, mugs, bags, and other apparel or accessories, you can also work with print-on-demand suppliers who can print and deliver the products for you.

In both instances, you never need to see or touch the products.

Normally, this may still take a bit of work to set up, as the creation of the stores, finding suppliers to partner with, and integrating all the necessary tools can all be technical and a bit overwhelming.
