    when dropshipping how is it possible to make any money

    the problem is i might only make 0.30p from each sale then it has to go through google who will take a slice, then when i withdraw cash they will take another slice

    it will actually leave me down in money

    i cant increase the prices cause they will be to pricey and other sites are cheaper

    Dropshipping has huge competition. The best way to make some cash is to use free marketing to your advantage (or dropship a unique product). Provide del.icio.us / social bookmarking buttons on each page, submit some free press releases, do some link exchanges, post on some forums, etc. Write up some articles and submit them as well. Integrate with froogle and pricegrabber. You should then be able to slightly raise your markup to make a small profit.

    Chances that you make a good profit out of droppshipping these days are very low because there are so many people that sell the same things and the profit margins are soo low. Best way is to find an offline store/manufacturer and convince them to become droppshippers for your. This way you are the only one to sell their product.
