in Project HOPE3 years ago

We all agree on the point that we want to have our own business, right? and you might have heard Dropshipping. You read that it requires a few hundred maybe to start with, so you might have said “nope, I will search for something else”. What if I tell you that it doesn’t require money to start with, and you can literally start with no money on your side!

First let me tell you what’s Dropshipping and how it works.

Dropshipping is an online making money method in which you have to ship products directly from the source(Can be a factory, online store…etc.) to the customer. In other words, you are the mediator in this process.

An example about dropshipping. You buy a product on one of the websites that I will mention below for like 15$ and then sell it to the customer from your platform for 25$, so you earned 10$ just by contracting with customers.

Now you might have asked yourself ”How does Dropshipping excaly work?”

2-You(the mediator) asks to buy the same product from another website/shop, but here you shall research to get that product with the least amount of money and highest quality.
3-The website that you bought that product from ships the product to your customer directly.
