There are a lot of people that I have seen that are actually selling products in wholesale price and are into the business. I think it's just like doing every other business just that you will need to stock a lot of a particular goods.

Starting an online wholesale store could be a really great idea as there are already so many retail store. that sell different products. When you start a new wholesale store, people would buy from you at lower price and you can compete with retail stores in a much better way.

If you want to start up a wholesale business online, I think it would be important to deal on just one kind of item and not have too many. It would help make your customers brand you with just one type of goods.
 
The first thing should be to create an e-comerce website, I think. The e-commerce website is where the interested customers will purchase or order whatever they want. An e-comerce website usually have a payment system integrated to them.
 
Getting a store online has become a whole lot easier right now due to the fact that there are lots of e commerce sites you can register on to get a store for yourself. You do not have to go through the stress of creating a site and trying to get traffic to the sites.
 
You can register with e-commerce sites that allow you to have a store with them. Or you can create your own website to act as a store. But having an offline store is the best too. You will need a place to store the wholesale products and you can sell offline too.
 
I think it will be better to start with retail first, get some experience and know how being a wholesaler works before going headlong into it. It's not all about having a large number of goods, you need clients especially if there is much competition.
 
First you need a theme and idea of what you want to do. Then you need to find a storefront, either online, in person or a mix of both. You have to work out advertising, pricing, and more.

Once you have an idea of what you want to sell, and a plan for it, then it's time to give it a try and see where things go. I wish you luck! :)

You need to create a multi vendor marketplace. You can either start from scratch or use a content management system like Drupal to create the marketplace. By the way drupal is ideal for creating multi vendor marketplaces.
 
There is need to choose a favorable online marketplace that is very popular so that it will generate enough traffic to your wholesale retail store you created . You can decide to choose the popular ones like the eBay, Etsy etc.

Well, there are many online marketplaces where you can sell your products. The fact remains that you can also start your own online store as well. However, you may need to market it and promote it.

You'll need a business strategy, a network of suppliers, and an online store to launch an online wholesale business. In order to find possible suppliers who can provide you with competitive pricing, you need first conduct research on the products you wish to sell. A company plan that details your objectives, spending plan, and marketing plan is also advisable. Once you have these things set up, you can start marketing to clients by building your online store on an e-commerce platform like Shopify. In order to increase traffic to your store, you need also make sure that your website is optimized for social media and search engines.
