Benefits Disadvantages Is dropshipping for you?

The basics of selling products online
There are some basic truths of products that apply to dropshipping products, 
and you have to be aware of these if you want to succeed. Specifically, there are 
certain ways to make money with products, and you have to be using at least one 
(preferably more) of these strategies:
Gain rights to exclusive distribution or pricing.
Since you can’t manufacture your 
own dropshipping products, the next best thing is to acquire exclusive access 
to product distribution or pricing. If you’re the only retailer offering a product 
(or a special low price for that product), it’ll be easy to generate sales because 
you’ll have a monopoly on that product or price point. This isn’t always easy to 
accomplish, but it can be very lucrative if you can manage it.
Sell at lower prices than your competitors.
This is the approach most 
dropshippers take: undercut competition by dropshipping products at rock-bottom 
prices. But this is a business model that will eventually fail. At some point, you won’t 
be able to sell at such low prices without taking a loss. And just think about having 
to compete with other retailers, especially giants like Amazon. It’s just not practical, 
and I don’t recommend doing this.
Add value.
I’ve already stressed this, but it bears repeating. Many dropshippers 
don’t even think to add value, which makes this one of the best strategies to use. 
You might add value with buyers’ guides, professional quality product images, or 
how-to videos. Whatever you do, it’s important that you can offer some sort of value 
in addition to dropshipping products that your customers want.
