A Review of eCom Elites by Franklin Hatchett
One of the most popular ways to make money online these days is by starting your own dropshipping store. The drop shipping model is quite unique in the sense that you do not need to stock products on your online store. Instead, you would post images of products that are available to sell and once someone places an order you would simply by the product from the manufacturer. Shipping details are provided to the manufacturer that they would use to ship the product directly to your customer.
