Finding wholesale vendors

There are two parts required in order for you to run a dropshipping store from home. The first part is setting up your store on Shopify. If you're familiar with this platform, then there isn't much to say here. We'll go over the steps later on in this article, where I explain how to install the basic theme and go through some of the most popular plug-ins that you can use with a dropshipping store.

If you're looking for wholesale vendors that specialize in selling your product, then you can head over to wholesaler directories like Alibaba and like any other marketer would do. In order to put yourself in a good position to communicate with these vendors, the first thing you need is their business owner's email address which is directly linked from their profile page. I recommend that you copy the email address before clicking on "Send Message" so that if the vendor doesn't respond, it's easier for you to email them a follow up message.

Another way to get in contact with wholesale vendors is by following the vendors that you'd like to sell from on social media. I usually head over to the vendor's Facebook page and comment on their post. If you're already following them, it's easy to comment on their post and ask them if they would be interested in selling your product.

Vendors are always looking for new sales opportunities, so don't be afraid to send a direct message or an email if you feel like you have a good conversation or connection with the vendor. After finding wholesale vendors, it's time for you to start communicating with them. Depending on the type of product that you're selling, there are different ways in which this could go.
