If you are looking for trusted
wholesale catalogs
or wholesale suppliers FOR ANY PRODUCT you're in the right place!
You can find a huge variety of wholesale goods here, from dvd's to electronics and clothing (and much, much more) including BIG BRAND NAMES like Gucci, Sony, Apple, Nike, Prada, Panasonic.
I've had good and bad experiences with wholesale distributors. I've learned which ones I want to do business with and which to avoid like the proverbial plague!
A very popular and (in my opinion) reliable wholesale catalogue is this online one (free video tour and link below). I like the fact it doesn't have high minimum orders like so many others do. Their range is HUGE.
Some companies (including the ones I have recommended above also give you dropshippers. In case you haven't heard of these, they are like a wholesale supplier but instead of you buying goods from them and the selling them on to your client, they send them direct to your client.
So, the advantage of this is, it helps your cash flow as you aren't paying for goods till you have sold them. Also, you don't have to worry about storage.
The downside is there are some very untrustworthy dropship companies out there. Make sure you do plenty of research before you start using a wholesale catalogue /wholesale supplier/dropshipper so you don't get messed around/let down! After all, if they mess you around, you have to mess your customer around, and that won't help your business!
You may already have a business where you are selling products successfully. But if you are looking for new/better options or if you are just getting started here are the best ways:
Don't worry if you have never tried to build a website before, I'm going to show you how I do it.
The advantage of this route is that although it takes a while to build it, all the sales you then make are YOURS. You aren't paying a fee to someone else. Also, when your site rises up the search engines you'll get loads (hundreds and thousands daily) of free visitors to your site. So, you'll save a fortune on advertising costs.
The downside is that this route takes time and effort. You need to weigh up what's important to you and what your goals are: make money fast and easily or create a long term income with maximum profit.
The advantage of this route is that your sales can be pretty instant. Once you have listed some items you want to sell, you are up and running. Within a week you could have some income. The downside is you have to pay eBay a percentage of what you make. You can find out in detail about how to sell on ebay on this site in the eBay section:

How to get lots of customers seeing & buying your products
If you want to get lots of people to your website, I have written a whole section about this:
How to get traffic
Once you site is well established you'll get free traffic, if you build it the way I recommend. In the short-term though you'll need to use one or more of the methods I tell you about in the Traffic section, just mentioned.
To get lots of people seeing your ebay listings I highly recommend you read how the Powersellers on eBay do this:
