Hello, I just started a dropship business.at www.gbncommerce.com
I have over 1 million products available to sell. I would like to limit the amount of the products for sale.
I wonder if anyone could advise me concerning the products that sell best online?

    No one can really give you that kind of information. You will learn through research, trial and error which products will sell.

    You definitely have a lot going on on your site. A catchier domain name and modern design would help.

    Looks like you have a lot of items, many of which are in an already very competitive market. I suggest looking for niches that offer a margin for both your company and the person using the drop shipping services. I think that it would be quite hard to make money from drop shipping lower-end electronics. Concentrating advertising on high cost items or those with a very specific user e.g. certain musical instruments, professional DJ equipment etc might make it easier to make repeat sales.

    Dropshit sites are a great way to try making money online but, in my opinion, they work well mainly in 2 cases:

    1. You have at least a 30% profit margin
    2. You use dropship articles combined with your existing inventory, to fill your store with more items.

    I'm not saying that there are no other ways to be successful with dropship sites but in my experience is quite difficult if you don't meet at least one of the above 2 criterias.

    My 2 cents anyway,

    Good luck!

    Sell relatively expensive products, develop relationships directly with manufacturers, avoid third party distributors, aggregators and wholesalers since they tag on their margins leaving you with 5-10% profit margins. If you sell $1000 products, than 10% margin is ok,

    Go to Amazon and sort the products using the Best Sellers filter. That should give you a good idea of which products are most popular.
