Video Game Providers and Wholesale Dropshippers – Starting a Video Game Business
Many video game websites that started with only a small amount of capital ($200-$500) have gone on to become big online. But there are many more online video game businesses that were started with the aim of simply making a living selling video game products online. Owning your own business doing what you enjoy most is just about anyone’s dream, but is it really possible to do something you really enjoy and get paid a decent sum for it? Especially enough to make a living? When you consider the popularity of gaming systems on the market, consoles like PS3, XBox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP, the answer is pretty clear. However, the challenge comes in two areas. Find suppliers and find marketing methods that are profitable.
One of the biggest challenges for startups these days is finding high-quality video game providers. Many video game wholesalers also have online “retail” sites where they sell their products. The problem with this is the fact that you are now competing with the same source that provides you with the game products. So how does an entrepreneur overcome this challenge?
The answer to the above question is simple, however finding the details of the answer is more of a challenge. The answer is simply to have a good list of video game dealers and wholesalers that you can really trust. Suppliers who make all of their income by being… well, wholesalers. Even if you have a large list of reputable providers, then you have your next problem: finding a way to sell your games online at a volume where you can make a good amount of money. How can you find help on this topic in such a competitive market? It is possible, but only if you know where to look.
Very often, you will see lists of wholesale and dropshipper suppliers for sale online supposedly loaded with the best sources. The problem with these lists is that most of the time you end up getting lists with a very outdated date and the list creator usually has little to no real experience with list providers. Lots of people have made lists and started posting them on the internet, but there seems to be no solid business plan except one or two.
One of the best places to meet quality distributors for your business is at the rare industry conventions like E3 or CES in Las Vegas.
