- Hi guys, Neil Waterhouse.
This week's video is about how to find drop-ship suppliers
using a VPN.
This is especially useful
if you're looking for overseas drop-ship suppliers,
and/or you have overseas virtual assistants working for you
in other countries, like say the Philippines.
Please let me know in the comments below
if you are already dropshipping in other countries.
Last week's video was about how to set up physical addresses
in other countries for dropshipping.
If you missed that video,
I'll put a link on the screen and below.
Now, for those who don't know what a VPN is,
VPN is simply an acronym for Virtual Private Network.
Now, VPNs can be used for many things,
including keeping your wifi data secure
while you're logged onto a public wifi network,
like say, you're at an airport or a coffee shop.
But this week's video is about how to use a VPN
to find drop-ship suppliers in other countries,
or allow your overseas virtual assistants
to find drop-ship suppliers in your country
or any other country.
So let's launch straight into it.
Now let's say you want to find a drop-ship wholesale supplier
for say Nerf guns.
If you're located in say, Australia,
and you Google say, wholesale Nerf guns,
Google will know that you are located in Australia,
and therefore it will do its best
to show you as many wholesale Nerf gun websites
in Australia as it can,
and will give them priority
as opposed to showing other countries,
the priority will always be
the country that you're located in.
Now, Google does this because Google and any other website
can see your IP address
and the IP address of your internet service provider.
And it doesn't matter what kind of device you're using
to surf the net.
You know, whether it be a computer, a phone, a tablet,
it doesn't matter.
If the device is connected to the internet,
Google any other website see the IP address
of your computer, your device,
and your internet service provider,
and it can also see what's known in the industry
as the geo location of your internet service provider.
So let's say you want to find a wholesale Nerf gun supplier
in say the USA,
but you're located in say, Australia,
let me show you.
If I Google the keyword wholesale without using a VPN,
as you can see,
Google shows me a lot of search results from Australia,
well from Australia wholesales.
However, if I enable a VPN and select USA,
then do the same Google searches in the keyword wholesale,
as you can see,
the majority of the search results are from the USA,
i.e. .com and not .com.au.
Now, like I mentioned at the beginning,
this is especially useful
if you have virtual assistants working for you,
who are the located in say the Philippines,
and you want them to do your product research
in your country, i.e. Australia,
or in any other country, you know,
besides the Philippines.
So now the next question that normally comes up is,
you know, what is the best VPN to use,
as there are literally hundreds,
if not thousands to choose from?
Now over the years,
we've chopped and changed many times.
And even the last six months, we've changed VPNs twice.
So rather than needing to reshoot this video
every time we change VPNs,
I'll put a link below to the one my team is currently using,
and update the link whenever we change.
I hope this video helped you with
how to find drop-ship suppliers in other countries
using a VPN.
If you need any help scaling your drop-ship business,
make sure you check out the step-by-step videos below,
including case studies from people brand new to dropshipping
who have built five, six, and seven digit
drop-ship businesses from scratch.
