With dropshipping, you sell products without holding inventory. Partner with reliable dropshipping suppliers, list their products on your website or marketplace, and when a customer buys, the supplier ships directly to them. Unlike with POD, you can’t customize the products you sell.

Best for: Aspiring entrepreneurs who want a low-risk eCommerce business.

Difficulty: Moderate. The business model is easy to set up, but success requires time to research profitable products, optimize your store, and effectively market your offerings.

How to start: Use Shopify or BigCommerce to create a dropshipping store or join popular online marketplaces like eBay and Etsy. Partner with reliable suppliers via Oberlo, AliExpress, or BigBuy. List your products and focus on marketing.
