Amazon. It is the largest online retailer in the USA, UK and much of Europe. A household name. But what you might not know is that when you purchase something from Amazon, there is a very good chance that you are buying from a third-party seller using a service called Amazon FBA. FBA stands for fulfillment by Amazon. What it means is that Amazon looks after all of the seller’s stock. When a customer places an order, it bypasses the seller altogether and goes straight to the FBA warehouse. Amazon then picks out the order and delivers it to the customer.

Blogging first started as a way to have an online personal web log, in which a person would journal about their day. From "web log" came the term "blog." Like most new innovations on the Internet, many entrepreneurs saw marketing potential in having a blog, and blogging took off from there. Not only can a blog be used for marketing, but also, a blog can be a home business in and of itself. 

When you run an online store that only offers dropshipped products, you don’t have to worry about inventory, and you don’t have to worry about product fulfillment. All you have to do is sell the product, take orders and make a decent profit. Easy right? Unfortunately, it’s not that simple and with anything that sounds too good to be true, there are always gotchas. In theory, dropshipping sounds like a great idea because it’s inherently scalable without you having to do a lot of work up front. But when you dig a bit further, there are complications that you need to be aware of.
