2. Set up joint ventures with other businesses to sell your product to new customers. They can introduce it to their customers for a set price.

Five Places Where You Can Find New Products To Sell
Joint Venture Deals
Contact other business owners and ask them if you can sell their products or services. The products or services should be related to your target audience.
You could set up a deal to just market them and receive a percentage of the profits.
Affiliate Programs
Join another businesses affiliate program. You just sign-up at their web site and they give you a link that tracks all your sales. Every time someone orders or clicks through your link you receive a commission.
Wholesalers
You can buy products at a large discount through a wholesaler. Just order the products from your wholesaler of choice. When you receive the products mark-up the price to the amount you want to sell them for.
Reprint/Duplication Rights
Some businesses o.ffer you the right to b.uy licenses to reprint or duplicate their products. You pay for the license and then you can reproduce the product and keep all the profits. The license stipulations may vary from business to business.
Drop Shippers
You can sign-up to a drop shipper program from another business or wholesaler. When someone orders the product, you keep a percentage of the sale and send the rest of the order to the drop shipper. The drop shipper will then ship the product to your customer.
Drop Shipping Tip:
The absolute best resource when it comes to finding a dropshipper that offers the products you are looking for is World Wide Brands' Drop Ship Source Directory - I personally subscribe to the Drop Ship Source and the Light Bulk Directories and have purchased and use the market research wizard. An invaluable tool I use to identify products with high demand low supply opportunities. If you are looking to start an online retail ecommerce business, this will simply be the best money you will spend. It is a bargain and is a lifetime subscription—no renewal fees each year! I hate subscription renewals. Check it out at: World Wide Brands Drop Ship Source Directory
