I’m a young entrepreneur creating my own online business. Where could I find trust worthy distributors/drop shippers to work with? Any advice on managing an online store would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Hi Ali,
I recently started an online business. We found our suppliers through Worldwide Brands. It’s a $300 service that gives you access to thousands of drop ship suppliers. Not sure how many do clothing but you can check out how many for free. You have to pay to get the specific company names. Although you don’t have to use the service, you certainly could find companies on your own for free, my partner and I tried that first and it took forever. I also noticed suppliers took us more seriously and were willing to spend some time with us when we said we found them on worldwide brands. Before that they acted like we were wasting their time. If you like, here’s a link to some free e-books on how to set up an online business. (Yes – It is an affiliate link.)

I hope that helps. It is a good place to start. I know it helped us.

Maybe you should learn more about running a business first. How are you going to compete with Gap, Old Navy, Walmart, Sears, etc? How much money do you have for advertising?
