How To Promote Your Drop Ship Store

If you have studied the entire drop ship wholesale course on this website, it's time to start working on your store. Really, don't delay it, because your competitors are not.

Wait, I know there is one question that is troubling you right now. There is that fear that stops you from taking action... What will happen if you invest money and effort in your drop ship wholesale business and at the end you get no customers? Such question makes sense because this is what actually happens to some of the entrepreneurs. Do you want to be one of them? I bet no. Read on to learn how to solve this important problem.

Of course the answer is promotion

That's too obvious, I know you are not surprised. If you don't promote your e-store, no one will even know about it. Even if you sell the best proucts at incredible prices, no one will buy if they don't come to your site. Don't listen to "build it and they will come" manthra. It does not work. Maybe it worked in 1998, but not now. Now there are billions of websites competing for user's attention and money.

But I don't want to scare you too much. I have a good news, even a very good one. Starting a drop ship web store is not as easy as starting an afiliate website or blog, therefore less people are doing it. Starting a drop ship store that offers large range of quality products at good prices is almost impossible without following the strategies shared in this site. Therefore very few of the not-so-many people who build drop ship business can offer quality products at good prices. So your real competitors are very few as well! Once you get some traffic to your site you can rely on word of mouth to create the snowball effect. But wait, there is a lot more. Read on.

Paid ways to drive traffic to your store

There are two main ways to promote your drop ship wholesale business. The first requires investing money. It's big advantage is that paid promotion can be very efficient. In fact it's almost sure that paid advertising will bring you traffic and sales. The disadvantage is it costs a lot. Sometimes you could spend more money on advertising than the profits you make as a result of it.

Here are the main and most efficient ways for paid promotion of your web store:

PPC. With enough experimenting you will find the right keywords and prices and will make profits.

Banner advertising on blogs and sites. Less predictable but usually cheaper.

Paid blog posts and reviews. Extremely efficient if you find the right bloggers.

Hiring a PR company. Efficient but can cost really a lot. Ouch!

So what, that's all? Not of course. Stay tuned, I'll publish big, meaty, and efficient "how to" guide for every of the methods above. Same is valid about the free promotion methods mentioned below!

Free ways to attract customers

If you don't have the cash for paid advertising you can bring traffic to your drop ship store for free. Of course that requires some work and patience, but if you do it well you can enjoy rivers of customers for long time.

What are the ways to bring in free traffic? Let's see:

SEO. That's the broadest and most important path. Don't expect search engines to index a standard shopping cart however. There are special tactics for e-commerce stores that I am going to share soon!

Blog(s). You can drive traffic to your store by writing an interesting blog or blogs.

Freebies. Free scripts, templates, pictures etc. are still a good way to bring traffic.

Articles and guest posts on blogs. Just like having your blog, these methods can bring you traffic. And they help for SEO too!

Affiliates. A very powerful way to bring traffic. You let others do the work for you. To be able to do that with a drop ship store however, you need to have good profit margins. Of course, expect to learn more about that on this site soon!
