Hello All

I am new to internet marketing, i did The 30 Day Challenge by Ed Dale twice. i have two blogs about chocolate and would like to start selling chocolate by famous manufacturers.

Does anyone know the best way to go about this. Should i write to ask for distributors and dropshipping and if there are reliable ones to do business with it.
I have seen lots of sites in this niche.

Many thanks in advance to all

    Dropshipping is one option, so is going right to the manufacturer.

    The real biggest issue is going to be getting the traffic to your site though.

    No, I think the biggest issue will be finding a reliable dropshipper... Maybe it's a lot easier now than it used to be. Who knows. Interested in that too!

    Have you thought about being an affiliate for a chocolate company?

    Here's one: 3 Sisters Chocolate, Bakery-Corporate Gifts, Chocolates, Cupcakes

    There are others if you do a search but I don't know how famous they are.

    Why not write to the ones you are interested in. That is the only way you are going to find out. Some may never have thought about dropshipping or even know what it is and you may have to explain it to them.

    Got to love chocolate, yummm...but aside from that, doing a search in Google for "chocolate+affiliate program" will bring you in some focused results and then you can assess each program on its merits and go from there. Alternatively you can write to manufacturers themselves, especially if you are thinking of going into the boutique side of things, but make sure your site looks really professionally done, and all set up before you approach them so they can see how serious you are about their market.

    Best of luck

    Being new, you might consider incorporating something that has a built in affiliate program like Xocai...

    Blogging is great for traffic, depending on how well your site is optimized and the keywords you are targeting...
