What is Amazon Dropshipping?

1. Low Startup Costs: You don’t need to invest in inventory upfront.
2. No Inventory Management: The supplier handles storage and shipping.
3. Scalability: You can easily add more products to your store.
4. Flexibility: You can run your business from anywhere with an internet connection.

1. Lower Profit Margins: Since you’re not buying in bulk, your profit per item may be lower.
2. Supplier Dependency: Delays or errors by the supplier can affect your reputation.
3. Competition: Dropshipping is a popular model, so competition can be high.

• You must be the seller of record (your business name must appear on packing slips, invoices, and external packaging).
• You are responsible for accepting and processing returns.
• You cannot use another retailer (e.g., Walmart, eBay) to fulfill orders.

• Focus on a specific product category (e.g., fitness gear, home decor, pet supplies).
• Research trending products using tools like Jungle Scout, Helium 10, or AMZScout.
• Look for products with high demand but low competition.

• Use platforms like AliExpress, Spocket, or SaleHoo to find suppliers.
• Ensure the supplier offers fast shipping and quality products.
• Order samples to check product quality and shipping times.

• Sign up for an Amazon Professional Seller Account (costs $39.99/month).
• Provide necessary documentation (ID, tax information, bank account details).

• Use high-quality images and compelling product descriptions.
• Optimize your listings with relevant keywords to improve visibility.
