If you've ever wanted to start selling physical products but it was too expensive to get started, then drop shipping might be for you. Drop shipping is a business model that allows you to sell products without buying inventory, storing it, or having to deal with shipping to customers. Instead, manufacturers, wholesalers, and even retailers create/buy the product, store it, and ship it to your customers. All you need to do is the marketing and selling of their products.

In traditional retail business models, you take the risk and expense of buying inventory, managing storage, and shipping to your customers. This is a more expensive model to start and it involves more risk if you can't sell your product inventory. You also pay for storage costs (store space, storage) and deal with the hassle of shipping.

Now, why would manufacturers and wholesalers be willing to take on the risk? 

The biggest reason is the marketing cost. Getting product exposure can be hard. They would rather focus on creating products and managing logistics while partnering with drop shippers to sell their products.

There are many manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers that provide drop shipping services and are looking for drop shippers to sell their products. You can find drop shipping products for almost any product category. You can find furniture, car parts, gardening equipment, watches, phone accessories, etc. The list can go on. If you can think of a product niche, there are most likely companies that will drop ship those products for you.
