   I`m Elle and just starting my own online business. So everything is somewhat new to me. The forums that I have been reading here are alot of help. Thank you all!!. Any help anyone can give me about trying to get a dropshipper for my business would be so much appreciated. I have looked all over the web and have been to many sites. My business that I am looking to get started is Sports safety. It will have alot of the protective gear that you need to play sports. Does anyone have any help that they can give me about dropshipping or anything else. Looking for much needed help.
Elle.

Have you investigated  World Wide Brands for your product line?  They prequalify drop shippers and wholesalers.  Here`s the thread on SuN about them: http://www.startupnation.com/forums/14062/1/www.startupnation.com/forums/8400/1/1

Thank you for your help and comments. Every little bit helps. It so hard just starting out. I have looked through there website and was not sure of them either. I cannot tell you of the hours that I have spent looking for a dropshipper. Has anyone else used World Wide Bands as far as their dropshipper? Were you satisfied? Are their dropshippers out there that specialize in sport good supplies? Well if there is, I can`t find them.

My brother has a sports collectible business done entirely through drop shippig. My online art company, EquinArt Creations (www.equinartcreations) drop ships about 60% of all artwork. It is possible to find a source.  Try many web searches and use different search terms.  Also look through places like Ebay - the other drop ship companies are selling there and you can see where the market is crowded and where there`s opportunity..

Keep searching and I would say Thomasnet and Alibaba.com can help you find suppliers.. I have written many articles and have done case studies on Dropshipping. Check out my blog: http://www.rutablogs.info/supplier , Dropshipping and building an ecommerce store is no longer a night mare. I bet you.. Write back to me for any help
