More and more affiliates who are feeling the pinch from the major search engines stance against affiliate websites are moving over to the latest marketing system to hit the UK known as Dropshipping. It may not seem a better way to go for the experienced affiliate, but any system which brings in extra cash will not go un-noticed.

So what is dropshipping?
Dropshipping is where a wholesale distributor will ship their products anywhere for you. You do not have to carry any inventory, stock or make any deliveries. You can usually take the images and descriptions off the distributor's website and use them on your own website or online auction and sell them. Once someone makes a purchase for the item, generally you email your distributor the address the item needs to be shipped and they will ship the item right away for you.

It sounds easy and it is! The major place you will find the people who have ventured into Dropshipping is on eBay.
