          Step 1.
          ---------------
          I can help with this. First, you need to get a sales tax certificate of authorization from your state, this allows you to work directly with wholesalers. Then you set up an account with a wholesale distributor like dbl distributing as an example, here is a List of drop ship wholesalers. Wholesalers will tell you exactly what sales tax certificate of authorization they need you to have, just call them.

          Step 2.
          ---------------
          Search for a great domain name with instantdomainsearch.com, which will let you register it at godaddy.com.
          Then set up a webhost account at for instance bluehost.com, and install a shopping cart, it is usually a one click install from the control panel at the webhost, one good choice seems to be Prestashop, which is open source and powerful.

          Step 3.
          ---------------
          Then you get the product data files from the wholesaler in a .csv file, and import it into your shopping cart. The columns of the .csv file from the wholesaler won't be in the same format as those required by your shopping cart import, so you need to change the column names, also the quantities and prices in the wholesaler's product data file can often change, and they will issue a daily product data update data file also in .csv, for both of these issues, including automating the price and quantity update process, and also automating product feed distribution to sales channels like amazon.com, or other shopping comparison sites, you can use software that simplifies dropshipping.

          Further, the wholesaler will provide the product images, and the dropship software just mentioned will help you download them.

          Step 4.
          ----------------
          After that, you do SEM or search engine marketing, and promote your website.

          Then as the sales start coming in, give great customer service, and gather repeat customers, also keep a record of the email addresses of your customers so that you can email them with special offers.

          Step 5.
          ----------------
          The main thing is to keep your overhead costs low. Free open source shopping carts, and low cost software to keep it updated.
