eCommerce store on WordPress * What are the options for driving revs*

[chrisbiz4444]

What are the options for building a WordPress website with product that generates revs on its own. Drop ship?

How automated can eCommerce be?

I was going to flip the site on flippa but I doubt I will get good money for this site unless it produces income. Am I wrong?

I never have to touch product with our ecommerce store. All our suppliers drop ship directly to customers

Let me know if you have any questions. There's also other options for shipping automation which others will have more experience with

eConmerce can be very automated with employees/fulfillment company or drop shipping.

If you wanted to flip an eCommerce site, it should probably be a drop shipping one with good organic traffic & some kind of revenue, of course. Those tend to do well but I wouldn't flip a site "deceiving" people of fake revenue or whatever.

Not saying you would do any of that.

Take a look here: http://ecommerce.shopify.com/guides/dropshipping

Some things about dropshipping:

-You lose control in many ways. At any second your supplier could F*ck up and leave your customers unsatisfied. At any second the item could go out of stock. This can be mostly prevented by only using trusted suppliers. Do thorough research and look at bbb for each supplier. Make sure they have no problems with shipping

-Make sure you do extensive research on each product you stock. I made a big mistake by stocking alot of bad products, and had to pay alot for refunds. I just recently took out all the bad products. We only sell products that are rated above 3.5/5 stars. If we can't find any reviews for the product, we won't sell it.

-The pros are you can make your business almost 100% passive (You just send out an email when your item sells), you lower costs, and can open for business very quickly

What is the best e-commerce platform would you recommend to use?

I'm a slow laner (for now) and for living I manage online marketing for some of the biggest independent pet brands in the UK. Quite a few of our stores run on WooCommerce.

Is there a site (like alibaba) for finding companies, who offer dropshipping?
