First and foremost, know your dropshipper, the company's habits and procedures, their shipping times, their return policies, and everything else that could affect your sales. Next, and this is sometimes less obvious than it needs to be: make sure you charge enough to cover the commission markdown, shipping, and any other eventualities. The rest really depends on how much of a profit margin your product will give you.
If your dropshipper offers related items, you could consider bundling them for added value (and a healthy hike in profit)--for example, if your supplier offers both video cameras and the SD chips for it, bundle them together. Many dropshippers offer higher discount to people doing business in volume. Use that to your advantage.
Regardless, as an ECA, the overt focus has to be bringing in people to buy on TripleClicks as opposed to eBay, Amazon, or any other place they can buy exactly the same devices. For that reason, you may want to choose a niche that's a bit less obvious, like home decor or power tools... but regardless, you also need to offer a better bargain than other dropshippers--your customers have access, after all, to the keyword search tool. Keep these things in mind, and you'll do much better with your dropshipping practices.
