Great post and thanks for sharing.

How did you get started in this? I mean - why trolling motors? And, how did you find drop-ship suppliers for such a seemingly expensive/low volume-product?

Good luck!



Thanks! I picked the niche purely based on where I thought I could make money. When I started it, I had been running another drop shipping site for a few years already and wanted to try my hand in different market.

Finding drop shippers is actually a lot easier than you might think. You can't find them for every niche and market, but if you're willing to spend some time digging through Google you can usually find legitimate wholesale drop shippers without too much work. I did a video on it (see below) that might be helpful:
