Where to source for inventory

There are a variety of ways to source products to sell, including:

1. Wholesale suppliers: Wholesale suppliers offer products in bulk at discounted prices. You can find wholesale suppliers through online directories such as Alibaba1 or Global Sources2.

2. Dropshipping: Dropshipping allows you to sell products without keeping them in stock. When a customer orders a product, it is shipped directly from the supplier to the customer. You can find dropshipping suppliers through directories such as Oberlo3 or through the product pages on sites like AliExpress4.

3. Manufacturers: You can also source products directly from manufacturers. This can be a more time-consuming process, but it can also result in higher profit margins. Sites like Thomasnet5 can help you find manufacturers.

4. Local suppliers: You may be able to find products to sell from local suppliers, such as farmers markets or craft fairs.

Additionally, you can source products through online marketplaces such as Amazon or eBay, either by purchasing products from other sellers or by using their fulfillment services to sell your own products6.

It's important to carefully research potential suppliers to ensure they are reputable and reliable. Reading reviews and asking for samples or references can also help you make informed decisions about your product sourcing strategy.
