1. Plan Your Work: Like every major money making business you need to put some thought into what you want to get out of being a drop shipper. You need to determine how hard you want to work which reflects the level of success that you will get to. This is a very easy business to set up and run and you can generate income on auto pilot once you have set this up correctly. Some of the things your going to need to do upfront in no particular order are…

* Find a domain name

* Get hosting for your website

* Build a website (if your not going to use eBay or amazon or you can do all three)

* Get a PayPal account

* Sign up with eBay

* Sign up with Amazon

* Open a business account

If you are a seasoned e-commerce veteran, you undoubtedly have heard of drop shipping.

You just collect the customer’s money – buy the product from your supplier, and they ship it to your customer with your name on the packing slip.

All you have to do to go into business is a web site, a way to take credit cards (PayPal is a good place to start), and a product to sell!
