1, manufacturer
Novice sellers can contact manufacturers directly, discuss and establish long-term cooperation carefully, and get first-hand goods from manufacturers, so sellers can earn more profits. Note: Because general manufacturers directly compare large customers, if your demand is small, it may not be touched.
2. Wholesale market
Novice sellers can go to the local wholesale market to find some cheap goods. The price in the wholesale market is relatively low. For online stores, it is very simple to achieve small profits but quick turnover, so the profit from purchasing goods from the wholesale market is also considerable, which is relatively conducive to the accumulation of credibility. Note: There are many commodities in the wholesale market. Be sure to choose carefully and complete the "shop around".
3. Website wholesale
Because of the development of science and technology, many buyers have to go all the way to the wholesale city. Now many sellers will purchase through online wholesale channels, which is simple, convenient and efficient. Note: Because online shopping is virtual, you should be extra cautious when buying goods on the website.
4. The merchant's surplus goods
Some large wholesalers' warehouses will have a certain inventory backlog. Novice sellers will find some well-known brands, fill the backlog in their warehouses at low prices, and then sell them at a price lower than the unified price of brands. I believe they can make more profits. Note: Comparatively speaking, it is difficult to find the surplus goods from several sources. Although many manufacturers have a backlog, it is still very difficult to find them, and in the process of selection, sellers should pay attention to selecting some products with medium quality to reduce the difficulty of sales.
In fact, for every novice seller who wants to open an online shop, the supply of goods is the most important issue. It seems that there is not much difference between opening an online shop and opening a physical store to find the source of goods. You can choose the source according to your own specific situation.

As a Taobao merchant, before deciding to open a shop, we must solve the problem of supply. Many merchants blindly open stores, and as a result, they can't find the source of goods, which leads to helplessness after opening stores. So it's really important to open a shop to find the source of goods.
