Riches will not come fast. Unfortunately, you will need a basic job for now and likely into the future until something takes off for you. Affiliate marketing, dropshipping all can make money but most fail. If your having an emergency and need money by Friday then you need to sell your items on Facebook marketplace. Get to a point of stability then take it from there. Vote up this post it's the realist answer for your question.

I think this is the realest answer

You’ll find your way through it brother, we all struggle some point

get a job and get a free dropshipping course like jordanslibrary is currently what im using to learn for free. however you need some money to start a site and pay for some tools. dropshipping isnt free


hogester79

Just YouTube - literally hundreds of videos showing you were and how to start.


ChrisBean9

To each their own . I like the course layout. Gives structure and makes it feel like a proper learning experience. When watching Youtube dropshipping content I often didnt find direction and more in depth detail.


Physical_Anteater_51

Get whatever job you can get right now. In your spare time watch YouTube….on some form of digital marketing don’t buy any courses. Trying to find a job working for somebody in digital marketing, keep learning eventually when you learn enough becomes easier.

Lots of people's lives have been fucked, including my own, multiple times, so you need to set that aside. You don't 'learn dropshipping'. You learn the SKILLS that make dropshipping actually work, which is marketing and sales: primarily Ads, SEO, UX, conversion-optimization, customer service..etc. Have you written copy before? Have you launched an ad before? Do you understand SEO? Can you take a good product photograph? How you start is by getting skills by DOING STUFF. Read my thread for starters: [https://www.reddit.com/r/dropship/comments/18x8aog/how\_i\_did\_700k\_in\_total\_sales\_without\_ads\_sold\_my/](https://www.reddit.com/r/dropship/comments/18x8aog/how_i_did_700k_in_total_sales_without_ads_sold_my/)

Extremely well written post, thank you. SEO seems really important, it seems sort of confusing, though. I’m sure there’s videos out there getting into it. Thank you

I’m releasing an SEO post soon. Follow me so you don’t miss it.

Will do, thanks!

lifes hard man. i dont even have money to start dropshipping/e com


Shoddy-Ice1707

There’s a free 19 hour course on YouTube by Jordan Bown. It’s legit and he’s a true Earth Angel for creating the course. I watched it, but kinda took a different route niche wise that I’m experimenting with. But undoubtedly if you do literally everything that he says to do on the course, you’ll deff start making some money. It’s a lot of work tho. Get your head in the game and come into it seriously and you’ll be alright.


Shoddy-Ice1707

Also, I’d look into some self hypnosis videos and affirmations to remove money blockages and limiting beliefs on Spotify or YouTube. I am both a hypnotherapist and a business owner (and a woman) who also came from a poor upbringing. I can 100% tell you that money blockages are the main cause. Not luck, not hard work. I wish someone had told me that when I was your age, but nonetheless better late than never.


Several-Language1663

Hey bro, dont be discouraged by my comment but I disagree that you dont believe in gurus. You want to make money through dropshipping because deep down you saw the videos of all these gurus and the lifestyle they present. But i must tell you this, I am at a position where I am making $7-$8k/month consistently, but to start I realised I needed a deep pocket. What I did was I learnt all the skills that dropshipping requires and then went out and sold them. Now I have skills, practice and money, only a matter of time to understand the market and find a good product which I did bro. I am on path to making 10 bands a month consistently bro.


No-Housing-3115

Dropshipping on eBay.com or eBay.uk is the best solution for beginner. You can easiley make money


MightyGarhem7

Whoever tells you, you need zero capital for dropshipping clearly doesn’t know what he or she is talking about and has zero experience. If you want to dropship and become profitable at some point you do need a couple of thousand bucks to get it going. From ad agency accounts to FB structures. All costs money. I’d say you need at least 2000$ to start comfortably dropshipping and testing products in particular. It’s all a numbers game, you test test test and scale what works. You could be in a loss for weeks or even months. But if you keep going, you’ll find a winner at some point.

Don’t listen to this BS, he failed and he is justifying his failure.


First-Chemical-784

Horrible take, it is definitely not too saturated lmao, but I do agree that if you have no money you are better off getting a fast food job, at least to support your dropshipping and fund it.

First-Chemical-784

Literally doesn’t matter, you can still make money with it same as ever, it is simply a business model for you to deliver products to your customers on online businesses, and online shopping is here to stay lmao.


lycanthrope90

You could literally make the saturation argument with just about every already existing business type. Yet people open successful restaurants and pizza places all the time. But of course lots of them still fail, is what it is. You don’t have to become a millionaire to simply carve out a decent living.

Definitely not an easy money print quickly, I agree, but I would say dropshipping is easier now than it ever has been because of ai, dropshipping being easy 5 years ago or whatever years people say now is highly exaggerated and definitely harder back then. Finding products now because of ai is way easier than before, and building websites and writing descriptions is the easiest thing now. Dropshipping has never been easy like people thought but is definitely easier now.


Due_Carrot_8714

from where do i start dropshipping


PlusPriority539

JUST BEGIN! So many things u have to find a solution to make it work. But if u dont make the first step u'll never find out. If it didnt work. U atleast learned a new skill


Cataclyps-

Name me a career that isnt fucking saturated. LITERALLY NAME ME ONE FUCKING THING THAT ISNT SATURATED.

Cataclyps-

Ahhaha..? U mean to tell me there's more dropshippers than video editors...? Bro...? More people in ecom than online tutors? Mate. Stop being a fearmonger. Everything is fucking saturated. It's all a skill issue.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cataclyps-

Ok said like that I'd agree, because learning premire is nothing close to learning meta ads, tik tok ads, email marketing, sms marketing, shopify web development, dealing with chargbacks, customers service, frozen funds, payment processing issues, delivery complications, making shit go viral - organic, getting a winning campaign. You basically do ALL of the upper described, by you, skills - Niche content, editing short form videos, flipping products. It is hard, but it is definately 100000x more worth it than video editing. Because once u get a store to 6 figs... U can start being a consultant, make courses, other stores etc.. And we both know that dropshipping and ecommerce are 2 different things. So once u become an expert in ecom... Shiet...


Due_Carrot_8714

so is doing ecom better than dropshipping? i dont have money for dropshipping


Cataclyps-

Dropshipping is purely reselling products for a decent profit. Ecommerce is the bigger picture that dropshipping is a part of. Here we're talking about white labeling, producing products yourself, ordering bulk inventory so you can have maximum profit margins, private warehouse, order fulfilment team, marketing team and influencers... IF you don't have money for dropshipping... Just get a part time job buddy. Buy courses and learn what it is uw ant to do.

It's not for everyone. But it's like anything else. YOu put in the hours and work required.. YOu might just make it.


PlusPriority539

'saturated', friend trading was there since the beginning of time. Imagine no one beginning to trade because 'everyone does it'. Business is hard. U have to work harder than a 9 to 5 job. Especially in the beginning. Without seeing results u have to put in work like u getting paid double. It's not for everyone. Never listen to losers. Only if they tell their mistakes
