1. Use ShopMySuperstore.com (Coming Soon)

ShopMySuperstore.com is a mirror reflection of DropShipSuperstore.com that you can give to your customers so they can shop our entire catalog. There is no contact information or pricing on the website so you can be sure that your customers will stay your customers and that you can select your own pricing. It's a great way to get orders fast and present a huge selection of products to your customers. 

2. Price Yourself Competitively

It's important to run a profitable business but it's also important to provide good value to your customers. At the DropShipSuperstore.com, we do not tell you how you should operate your business but we do have suggestions that can be used as guidelines in developing a strong drop shipping business. We use 3 principles in our business; Best Products, Best Price and Best Service. Keep these in mind when building your business and you will finding that your customers will become long-term customers!

3. Use Your Own Product Names

This is actually more important than you may know. If you use the same product names on your website, you will not rank higher than the Drop Ship Superstore's Google ranking. If someone searches that product name, they will find our websites with every other one that also does, below ours. By having your own distinct names, you can develop your own SEO and own the product name so that when someone Googles it, it will come to your website. It's important to note that very few people do this but some do so we suggest coming up with your own names for the products.

4. Develop Your Own SKU"S

Your own SKU's follows the same principles as using your own names for your products. Developing your drop ship business has a lot to do with developing your own business entity. Even if you change one letter or number, you will create a distinct SKU that when searched, will not bring up dozens of other listings of the same product. It's important to think beyond copy pasting product information to develop your own distinct products. 

If you are using ShopMySuperstore.com, developing your own SKU's is not an option, however, it is a tool that allows you to present the largest number of products to your customers and you may find that your customers become repeat customers as they continue to browse our vast catalog at their leisure. Developing a successful drop shipping business often requires multiple sales mechanisms to create more than one sources or revenue.

5. Write Your Own Product Descriptions

Most SEO, whether it's Google, Amazon, Etsy, Ebay or any other website, uses its own algorithm for their customers to find products. Creating an original description will make your product listing an original one of a kind item that will stand out and have the potential for higher sales. Also, Google frowns upon copy and pasting non original content and actually has their own word for it; scraping. Yes, it can take some time but all profitable businesses take time to develop and the better and unique your product listings are, the higher the chance you your listings will impact a search algorithm and in turn, increase your sales.

You may also use AI software like Chat GPT or any other similar AI software to help you write original descriptions. This can save time and give great ideas. It's also not a bad idea to use point form lists to help organize your product selling points.

• Your friends and family can also be a source of networking so impress them and discover any potential business or marketing ideas they may have.
