Method #1:

Oberlo: Oberlo allows you to easily import dropshipped products directly into your Shopify store and ship them directly to your customers – in only a few clicks.

Method #2:

Wholesale Directories and/or doing your own research to contact and work with suppliers.

In Module 5 and 6 you will learn more about each method and discover which one is right for you and your business goals.

[MUSIC PLAYING] Now it's time to find a supplier. I'm going to go through two separate methods of finding a supplier in great detail. The first will be using Oberlo. This is a very low-barrier entry method of finding a drop shipping supplier that will also allow you to start a store and start selling immediately. The second method will be more work intensive. We will go out into the wilds using Google and wholesale directories and contacting potential suppliers to work with.
This method will require more work, but it will be for particular store owners that are looking to sell a specific kind of product or are looking for more control and customization of the product they want to sell. I will also go through the advantages and disadvantages of each method and detail later, in case you're not sure which is right for you. I personally suggest most people start with and use Oberlo, but whichever you go with will ultimately achieve the same thing.
You focus on the marketing and customer service while the supplier handles all the inventory and shipping. So let's get started. I'll see you in the next module. [MUSIC PLAYING]
