Well put.

When you build a business you do just that. You start from the ground up from finding suppliers to getting your product into the marketplace.

This is not aimed at anyone in particular, but you simply can not say 'I want to sell this' can anyone tell me where to get them and make a profit. You have to to do it yourself. If you keep hitting a brick wall then maybe you are not cut out for this business?

At the end of the day, I and many other member could say 'sell these and you will make £1000 a week'. Then again if we do that, we may as well advertise them for you as well and send you the profit.

It's frustrating starting out. I have done it many times with new direction or new products. But you just dig deep and quietly get on with it.

The problem I personally have is I have 20 things on the go and another 100,000 in my head waiting to be implemented! Not a day go bs without me seeking out a new product, idea, opportunity or anything else business related.

People look to dropshipping as they do not have the capital and think it is easy money. They also look straight to ipods, consoles, phones etc. Did you know you can make the same profit on an item that costs £5 than you can on an electrical item that costs you £250?

You should really be looking at getting some cash together and buying in bulk. You do not need much, a few hundred quid can get you started.

Like the previous poster said there is no 'magic wand'. You have to have that special something inside you to spot an opportunity and be able to exploit it.

Rant over

P.S: Greedyboy, I certainly know who I am, although I don't really know what you want to discuss over the phone.
Mother, is that you?
