…Coming back to earth now…
Seriously,
his resource of companies is current and very informative.
It’s cross referenced by product type, distributor
name and contains important stuff like Drop Ship Fees, who to
contact at each Drop Ship company to get started, and in some
cases, samples of products that the Drop Shipper offers as
well as links to each one of the Drop Shippers sites.
One other
very important note, he has contacted all of the Drop Shippers
that are on his list so they are practically waiting for your
phone call.
I have
contacted about 25% of the Drop Shippers on in his database
and am satisfied that all of the contact information is recent
and relevant. In addition, I use 6 of the Drop Shippers from his database,
and have had nary a problem with any of them.
I have to
say that having the database provide critical information like
the Drop Ship fee really went a long way in helping me
determine how I was going to position shipping on some of my
sites. The Drop
Shipper site links really help as well.
If you’re looking for a particular item (and you
should because your in a niche market, right?) you can search
the database a few different ways, and you can usually end up
with the exact product that you want.
I purchased
access to the database on a Monday and by the following
Saturday, there were new Drop Shipper listings. Very Cool.
On his site,
he also offers a Free E-Book that is a very comprehensive
overview of Drop Shipping and there is a link to a real audio
interview that expands a quite a bit on the info
from the e-book. Also a free-bee.
One of the
characteristics about Chris Malta is that he is a down to
earth, no-nonsense guy who just feels and behaves in an honest
manner. And frankly, the information he offers is powerful at
a very cheap price point. He charges around $70 for access to the database. Break this
down into dollars per hour.
Let’s say that you’re worth $20 an hour at your day
job. That means
that you would need to spend about 3 and a half hours on the
web doing research to find Drop Ship wholesalers before his
database access would become more valuable than your time.
Take it from me. In
3 and half-hours, you MIGHT find 1 Drop Shippers that are the
same quality that Chris Malta has in his database.
His database has over 500 Drop Shippers offering
500,000 products in it.
Don’t waste your time and try to do this yourself.
Use the database instead.
Chris
also has quite a few useful links to state agencies where you
can register your business and get your Tax ID number. This is a free service that he provides and can save you tons
of time. If you
have ever tried wading through a .org website looking for any
specific information, you’ll understand what I mean.

P.S. I
chatted with Chris this week. He tells me that he's gong to
double the size of the directory this year. Yeah Baby!
