Well, I know alot about internet marketing, web development and designing but Im really new to the whole dropshipping thing.

I need to know what I have to do to open a shop for skateboarding shoes/clothing.

Welcome to the forums gurilla.

First thing you will have to do is find a supplier obviously - are you looking to dropship for a specific reason?

[Gurilla]

Yea kinda, i dont have that much to invest so as i get orders ill pay the dropshipper for them.

And the rest i can handle myself such as web design..development..marketing etc

Have you done any form of business planning as yet?

[Gurilla]

Not really

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

Do a google search on business planning, you will probably find it hard to get started without a decent business plan.

When developing your websites do you follow a plan or make it up as you go along? If the latter (and I don't mean to offend) I hope you aren't doing it professionally.

If you haven't done any form of planning, you need to do some before you go any further.
