Written by Luca Harsh | February 17, 2022

What is Dropshipping?

Dropshipping is a growing business model in the ecommerce world. Dropshippers source items from manufacturers and sell them on their own online store. When customers order an item, the manufacturer is the one who ships it to them. Shopify offers a free dropshipping workshop for beginners. 

How to Find the Best Dropshipping Products to Sell

Research

Finding winning products for your dropshipping business has a strategy to it. Here are some tips for getting started:

  • Look for products that you can’t easily find selling elsewhere.
  • Find a product that solves a problem (e.g., a smart water bottle that tracks water intake).
  • Make sure your products don’t have advertising restrictions. 

Figure Out Your Profit Margin

Aim for a 20-40% profit margin. It may be tempting to maximize your profits with high markups on low cost items, but if you go too far, customers will find a lower price elsewhere. 

Research the Competition

When you’re choosing products to sell, see how many people are selling the same product on Amazon and eBay. If there are more than 15, consider a different product. You could also simply Google search the product and see how many people are selling it and what prices they’re selling it at. 

Select Products for Trials

To make sure you’re selling quality products, check out each product yourself before you start selling it. You wouldn’t want to start selling an item just to find out that it doesn’t work. Many suppliers offer samples to sellers so you don’t have to spend your own money for this step. 

Product Research Tools

The products in this list won’t stay relevant forever. Here are some helpful tools to find trending products for your dropshipping store: 

  • Amazon Bestsellers- see high demand items on Amazon to get ideas.
  • eBay Watch Count- see trending products on eBay to get ideas.
  • SaleHoo Market Research Lab- uses data from Amazon and eBay to help dropshippers find the best products
  • AliExpress- a service from Alibaba for dropshipping, focused on suppliers located in Asia
  • Oberlo- a dropshipping business management site.
  • Google Trends- see a graph of how popular any search term is on Google over time. 
  • Thieve- a curated resource for popular dropshipping products. 
  • AliShark- an Alibaba product for market research

Hot Dropshipping Niches

Most dropshippers have a niche. This makes it easier to manage inventory and promote your business to potential customers. Here are a few popular types of products that are popular to dropship:  

  • Health and Beauty
  • Clothing and Accessories
  • Kitchen and Grocery
  • Home 
  • Electronic and Phone Accessories
  • Car Accessories
  • Infant Care
  • Pet Care

Small items that are harder to find locally are typically successful in any niche. 

How to Find the Best Dropshipping Suppliers

Salehoo’s dropshipping suppliers directory is a good place to start looking for legitimate suppliers. You can also search “[product]+ dropshipper” in Google to find suppliers of your product. Keep these things in mind when you look for suppliers that won’t scam you: 

  • Experience- stick with suppliers that have been around for at least two years.
  • Customer service- a supplier with easily accessible customer service will make life easier when you have questions. 
  • Pre-order fees- a huge startup cost is often a red flag. 
  • Shipping times- fast shipping keeps you and your customers happy. 
  • High quality products- don’t sell anything you’re not proud to sell. 
  • Return policy- returns are an inevitable part of running an ecommerce business. Don’t go with a seller that has unreasonable fees or unnecessarily complicated processes.

Things to Consider 

Pricing

Marketing potential

Before you get started with a product, think of a plan to market it. That could include social media, on-page SEO, content marketing, joining online communities, partnering with influencers, et cetera. Don’t commit to a product you can’t market. 

Turnover

Frequently changing the products you dropship leads to a lot of work updating your website. The easiest products to manage are ones that don’t update with new models regularly. 

Bad Fits for Dropshipping

Before you start a dropshipping business, you also need to know what types of products aren’t good fits for the business model. 

  • Dangerous items (sharp, flammable, combustible, et cetera)
  • Fragile items
  • Items with copyrighted imagery
  • Heavy items

Basically, you want to avoid as many problems for your customers as possible.
