    They're not easy to come across, that's for sure. I would stick with dropshipping instead of affiliate marketing. The growth rate is fairly high if you can gather a decent amount of visitors. The best place to start would be an exclusive dropship directory, nothing that's offered free of charge will be worth while as the saturation rate of those products will be high.

    Just make sure they're a REAL dropshipper. Otherwise you'll just end up selling over-priced goods that are sold to you buy someone that is buying the products from a wholesaler themselves.

    There are hundreds (if not thousands) of Websites doing this. They buy big quantities and sell to you at a discounted rate via their drop-ship program. You might make 'some' money, but nothing like what you can make joining a REAL drop-ship program (one that either manufactures or imports their own goods). These types will usually ask you for a Reseller Sales Tax ID # so they're only for people that are serious and have a real business. For the others (webmasters that are just marketing goods for profit), places like DOBA might work, but you'll always make more money going direct.

    Someone recommended World Wide Brands... I second that. They're THE only real dropship directory around. Everyone else has other things on their agenda.
