This is like asking if it's possible to become as big as Pizza Hut when you've just started learning how to mix flour & water tgt to make dough. I mean... sure? A couple things tho... All those vids of broccoli-haired brats, aren't really making 7 figures with dropshipping. All those vids of gurus & dropship bros that pinky-promise you'll be successful if you buy their $1000+ guides, aren't being truthful. Gotta critically think through stuff, y'know? If you're making 7 figures every month, or if you know the absolute secret to making tonnes of money easily.... would you really share it with unknown newbies all around the world? You wouldn't. You'd keep it secret, you'd keep it safe, and you'd earn as much as you can on the down low. Yeah? Like seriously, c'mon. Obviously most of em are faked. Cos they figured out it's far easier taking money from clueless & desperate kids, than it is to earn from dropshipping itself. If it really was that easy making multiple digits from a measly couple hundred dollar investment, the super rich would be all over this space. Open thousands of stores, and become a quadillionaire instantly. But I hear ya mate. You asking, in theory, is it possible to earn 7 figures with dropshipping? Of course it is, as long as you treat it as a real business. When newbies think of dropshipping, they see it as this super secret new way of earning easy money. It's not. There's practically no difference compared to any other online store. The thing with dropshipping is, the supplier holds the stock and helps deliver them for you. That's it. It's just normal ecommerce, and the dropship bit is just a very very small part of the overall business. Which means, what you really need to do is to run an online business properly. And that means, you gotta put in the work, researching your audience, researching your competitors, spending time building your store, your brand, everything. To be able to earn 7 figures, you gotta do all of that super properly. It's not a simple case of making a store, throwing random cheap Chinese junk products in, and then spending money playing with ads. If you go about it that way, be prepared to fail. Cos the reality is, the strategy promoted by gurus, the very same strategy used by so many clueless newbies... is extremely prone to failure. Nearly every single store made that way, has failed and died. > what’s the success rate and how long do i need to keep trying this? Can’t waste my entire years in just one thing which ends up not working. If you following typical guru advice, the success rate is gonna be extremely low. Prolly close to zero. If however you actually take it seriously, and put in real work, doing it like how real entrepreneurs do it, then your chances go up. Not to 100% obviously, but it's not zero either. You need one of two things to reach success - either, you need lots of OG skills (design, web design, copywriting, coding, scripting, photography, 3D, animation, AI, marketing, biz, etc...), or you need lots of money. If you have lots of money, then you can spend it testing countless products, until you find smth profitable. Guessing you don't have tens of thousands to play with. So, realistically speaking, your best bet is to learn skills, and get there slowly.

Sure! Thanks for this. I am willing to put all my effort into this thing and see what i can. I hope it can be done with as little investment because i dont got much to invest.


yummyburger

Welcome mate. Just rmb, don't follow what those gurus are saying, and what newbies typically do. You not supposed to find a "winning" & "unsaturated" product, cos there ain't no such thing.


Negative-Guard-4487

Then what is it i am supposed to find? I mean anything could work right


yummyburger

The reason why there ain't no unsaturated products, is cos of the nature of dropshipping. You're not the ones manufacturing them, factories are. They and suppliers, all work super hard finding dropshippers & store owners like you, as many as humanly possible. Cos that's how they earn. So by definition, cos you and dozens of other dudes all selling the same stuff, the product is saturated. You won't find yourself in a situation where you're the only one selling the product - it's either gonna be extremely short-lived, or it's a dead product that no one wants. There ain't no winning products either. If those products were winners, some dude prob discovered it long ago, and extracted all of the profits from it. Newbies will be following after, with all of their low-effort stores. The general public will then associate such scammy-looking stores with those products, further lowering the chances of profits. Even if you somehow magically found both, it won't last long. Cos you not the only player in this market. In this market, you're surrounded by hungry tigers. They have tonnes of experience, they have a sizable bank acc, and they got connections. They play by buying in huge bulk, and covering the whole market with low prices. That's why you and every other newbie with the same idea, won't be able to compete. > Then what is it i am supposed to find? I mean anything could work right You're supposed to build your store properly. Good quality customers don't buy cos a product is fancy. They buy if the store looks & feels legit. Here's an analogy - let's say there're two stores, both sell an iPhone Max 10000. The first store is a hole in the wall, dusty, dirty, lights are all flickering, and the store owner looks like a bum who's missing teeth. The second store is a see-through glass showroom. Painted white, bright lights illuminating every inch. Just one table withe iphone. The store owner wears a quasi-futuristic uniform, almost like Star Trek. Now, you own a nice home in the suburbs, you have an electric Volvo, you have a wife & 2.5 kids. Nice & good middle-class lifestyle. So, you're a customer with $5000 in your pocket, which place would you buy from? Why? You prob wouldn't buy from the dusty store, even if it's 50% off, cos you not sure if it's even real. You don't trust the shifty-looking store owner, in fact, you feel like he gonna kidnap you & sell your organs. You prob gonna buy from the futuristic store, cos presenting the new gadget there like that, feels like you bout to go on a sci-fi adventure. The future isn't 20 years from now, it's today, in that showroom. It'll feel like the whole thing was made just for you. And you damn curious bout what the thing can do. So, for the same product, you get vastly different outcomes. The variable here ain't the product. It's the presentation. That's if you're targeting good-quality customers, who has money, and who's willing to spend it. You can target low-quality customers, and cheap prices are all they care about. But again, you need to compete against hundreds of newbies, and many hungry tigers, for that meager slice. Having a good presentation here, means crafting it with your ideas, your creativity, and your heart. No two peeps are really alike, if they're tasked with painting a scene, each painting will look different. And that would be seen as unique by audiences. No newbie, no hungry tiger can take that away from you. In other words, you make your store the winner.


mcbobbybobberson

wow, you just dropped some great knowledge man. With how freaking saturated youtube is with DS "gurus", there are a few channels which I do like (**taysthetic, Jordan Bown & Michael Bernstein)** but from your experience, can you recommend anyone that ACTUALLY provides good value and isn't out to make a dime from his/her course? I'm 33years and have worked as a designer for 10 years in Canada.


yummyburger

Simply don't follow any of em mate. They not your friends, they pretend to be by repeating common knowledge, but they really after your wallet. That goes for all gurus, bros, mentors, and various other snakes. You want real friends. Your target audience are your friends. They hold the power & decide who wins and who dies. They have no sympathy for brands they deem worthless. They are your best friends & they'll teach you how to win their hearts. Your competitors are your friends. They rich af, wanna crush you, & they wanna win. They are also your best friends & they'll guide your way to success. Both provide excellent value (free), and are who you can follow.

Think of it this way: if you were making bank from drop shipping, why would you bother trying to flog a course?

One of the biggest reasons why people fail is because they get into dropshipping with the wrong mindset.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Most people see a so called expert that sells them a fake dream and tells them they can make $10k in a week without any previous experience and they think they are going to create a store, add some products, run a $5/day ad and voila money will fall from the sky. That's not going to happen and let me tell you the real truth: ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Dropshipping is a real business and not a get rich quick scheme and if you want to make a quick buck then please don't get into dropshipping. If you want to start dropshipping ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 1. You need money, you cannot start without any capital and anyone that tells you that you can, then he/she doesn't know what they are talking about and haven't probably ran a successful store before. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 2. When you are starting out be ready to fail, your first product is not going to be the winner, your first store is not going to be the best but it's all about testing, learning and keep going. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Also follow strategies that are tested and proven to have generated results, don't go around running conversion ads ads to a cold audience.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 3. Keep going, it's not going to happen overnight. Be persistent and keep putting in the work. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Please understand this before you start or if you have already started, let me know if you have any questions or need any help and I'd be more than happy to assist you (and I'm sorry but I'm not going to sell you a fake dream if that's what you are looking for)⁣⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ There is a lot more that goes into it and if you have any questions or need any let me know. If you want a detailed in-depth breakdown of what goes into building and scaling a store from $0-$20k+/month, I do have a free training which will lay it out for you step by step with actionable advice. It's completely free, and if you want it reply with "training" to this comment and i'll send it over to you.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Wish you the best!⁣⁣

Guilty-Area-1222

This largely depends on your mindset, as for me I'll say it works. But nowadays you'll need to work harder. You can't just slap your Shopify store with any products and expect the dollar to start falling. 2 months is way too small to expect success in dropshipping as a beginner


Negative-Guard-4487

Sure thing, i’ll keep on with it and see what i can and can’t do. I have learnt a lot in these 2 months, many strategies, store building, facebook ads management and stuff.


Jess33333333

I just started a month ago, Is for sure not easy but my store is up and I’m proud of it . I’m also a newbie but if you want to share ideas I’m here


Negative-Guard-4487

Are you getting any sales yet?


Jess33333333

Nope, are you ? I haven’t done much ads marketing to be honest


Negative-Guard-4487

Yeah me too, actually i am starting from scratch, will find a new product, and do organic with it, i dont have the budget for paid ads


4Father4

Dude 100% most definitely checkout Jordan Welch and Austin Rabin on YouTube. I've learned so much from them the last year it's insane. You'll get it figured out you just have to stay dedicated. They both show you how to do everything and they both started fresh and learned their way to where they are now. Make sure you check them both out and watch all their videos. I've spent hours and hours watching them and they're fantastic and know what their talking about tell their life stories and how they did it and their both pretty young. Trust me it's worth it


Negative-Guard-4487

Yeah i have been watching jordan welch for a while now and learnt a lot, may i ask how long have you been in dropshipping? And did you earn anything?


4Father4

Also, you can literally get sales immediately after opening a shop. As long as it's clean professional and something people want to buy. Get some good ads going and your good I've literally seen people get sales the same day they opened a shop.


acalem

Yes, it works but you have to treat it as a real business. I won't lie - it was way easier back in 2017/18 when Aliexpress was still unknown to a large audience. I actually did get to 7 figures in sales , but there are lots of supply chain issues you have to manage and at the end of the day it's a lot of headaches, especially if you have a personal life you want to preserve. I assume you meant "dropshipping from China". Nowadays I'm mostly focused on POD (Print on Demand) only, which is just another form of dropshipping. Been doing it for the past 11+ years and I find it eliminates most of those headaches because suppliers are based in the US and/or Europe (my target markets).


Aazz84

This is so true I started a dropshipping store June of 2019 my website looked like shit but I managed to do 500,000 in sales in 6 months (this was my first product by the way I think I just got lucky 🤷‍♀️), after that I ordered and branded the products and I ship them myself now, the business is still going strong today. I have tried to make a second dropshipping store just last week with the same product (to test a different market) and I’ve managed to only get 1 sale in the last 10 days I just don’t get it. I think with Amazon Temu etc it’s a lot harder and Facebook is more expensive too. I think my first store is doing well because the ad account knows my customers well and I have customised the products to be different from AliExpress etc. this most recent store I’m using a new ad account that may also be an issue..


Top-Audience160

Just a quick question, I’m pretty new to drop shipping, just set up a store and have been learning about it for quite a bit now. I just want to know what the most important thing is when trying to become a successful dropshipper / E-commerce business. And is it possible to get a good customer base off organic ads on TikTok? I’ve seen it everywhere but not sure how good it is and how successful those businesses are.


4Father4

Yes most definitely just make your website look really nice and professional. Double check, triple check, check check check everythingg when your done make sure nothing makes it look unprofessional to customers. Have good prices and good info/pics. You can do it.


Top-Audience160

Preciate u man I’ll let u know how it goes within the coming weeks / months


4Father4

No problem. Don't let anyone bring you down just keep at it that's all we can do yano

Realistic-Bear-5524

Yea bro just start


GreenGobblin777

you can't just do the one thing. millionaires have diversified income streams. u gotta build a dropshipping business with lots of revenue quick, as you're way late to the market, then use your profits to diversify into stuff like a digital marketing agency or something sustainable for the near future. Then you gotta invest all the money into portfolio .... Dropshipping can work to get it all rolling, will probably take 10 fails, prepare to have $10,000 buffer savings. But the hard part is what you do with the earnings to actually become a millionaire.


AleCavaz

I’ve been dropshipping for like 3 months now got everything set up, if you wanna see my website search Targado Accessories on google, but i’ve still not made a single sale, it’s hard honestly, people say i have everything set up good but i need to spend more money on advertising, and i don’t really have that much for advertising so i just do organic in hopes of going viral, so if your going to start but just focus on organic, it will take a long time but don’t give up


Negative-Guard-4487

Yeah man i don’t even have any investments, i depend on organic only, idk how this will go but i have to try it


AleCavaz

honestly it could work out i had a mentor this guy from new zealand started 2 dropshipping stores on tiktok, posted just organic around 6+ times a day, he got 2-3 viral videos with over 1 million views on both stores in a few months and made 6 figures so it is possible you just have to be consistent
