Dropshipping is a trending and hot business for about a decade now. It is the most profitable, worry free and low risk business.
How dropshipping works?

If you have web designing skills you can design your own store or else you can hire someone to do the job for you. - You list the products for your store.
- A client orders the product (from your store).
- You order the product from supplier at cheap price (saving good margin).
- Supplier ships the product directly to your client.
Dropshipping saves you from hassle of inventory management, sending out packages etc. Also you can earn good profit margins (50% of the original price).
But there are some demerits of dropshipping as well:
