Have you ever wondered how successful all those supplements are that you see advertised on the TV and internet every day? They are flying off the drop shippers' shelves. Consumers want a magic pill to fix their problems, and with the ever-evolving health craze, they want that pill to be natural and healthy. Their concerns range from weight loss to pain relief to joint care to longevity, but they want it fixed and they want it now.

So, how do you get in on this multi-billion dollar industry? It is remarkably simple and can be achieved with low start up costs. Whether your store front is on Main Street or virtual, these five steps will get you moving quickly in the right direction.

1. Spend some time browsing your local health food stores.  Ask the proprietors which products are their best sellers.

2. Choose one product and write down the manufacturer and ingredients and any contact information.

3. Contact the manufacturer by phone or email.

4. Ask for private label rights.

5. Work with the manufacturer on label design and drop shipping procedures or using a fulfillment company.

It is just that simple. Now you can sell to local stores or other online retailers. If you want to act as a wholesaler yourself, you can sell your private label goods at a mark up of three or four times your purchase price. When you are ready, you can easily expand your sales by adding similar products to your line. Talk to your supplier about which of their other similar products they would be willing to private label for you. Just be sure to stay in the same general area of health, whether it is sports nutrition, weight loss or skin care. It is best to be an expert in a certain area. Your savoir faire and desire to help their cause will translate into more sales for you.

Millions of consumers are waiting for a cure for their symptoms. Be the answer to their prayers. Someone else has already found the remedy; you just need to market it with your own label. Follow the five steps and get it out there to the ailing masses.
