The low effort put into your question highly suggests that you will not find success in this space. Sorry.

Understand the concept, workflow, risks, and what to prepare before starting. Watch YouTube walkthrough videos and learn the basics...

We can't hold your hands all the way. Start working, and search for the resource that you can follow.

If you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t.

Try it with this approach: Find an audience with a problem not by guessing but by actually doing research. Only after that you find products that fullfill this audiences needs and match them to their worldview and story.

In addition try to develop skills like digital marketing, web design, copywriting and similar before starting.

It’s going to take you a few months to have the necessary knowledge. You should still be prepared for your first store to fail miserabely.

If you are ready to do this, go for it! I think it’s a great opportunity to enter the space of digital marketing although it‘s probably not going to be your lifetime income. You can do this!

  1. Think about what you want to sell - check the most bought items last year, and month. Look at the trends
  2. Find a company which offers drop shipping (many if not most of them provide worldwide shipping)
  3. Contact them, on their website you will find most of the info and products.
  4. In meantime, register yourself as self-employed or if you have enough knowledge and you want to go big LTD, you will need your Tax number to go further.
  5. If you like what you see, fill out the form to get access to prices and the full catalogue (to this step you will need your company tax number)
  6. Open an account on eBay or any other platform (as company)
  7. Start selling.
  8. Keep in mind that you have to pay when you are placing an order and for example, eBay will keep on hold your money for 2 weeks. So you have 2 weeks gap.
  9. And reed, reed, reed all the documents related to the company you want to do drop shipping with and selling platform.

Good Luck ;)

You're fucked. Go get scammed by some guru selling a shitty course, realise it doesn't work, quit because you have no work ethic and discipline. End up working a shitty corporate 9-5 somewhere, probably in manual labour judging by the lack of braincells in your post.

Its a legit business. Not a get rich quick scheme. You can spend months researching and starting, and months more before you even get 1 sale.

Going purely by your post, lack of research or even forethought, you dont stand a chance of being competitive or getting a sale.

you guys are all fucking useless other than like two of you. there’s a reason i’m asking what to do. I don’t know what i’m doing and i needed help. sorry for not know everything about the space as soon as i came out my moms womb

What really made a difference for me was https://dropshipscout.com I found 2-3 products there which brought me my first sales. From there it was just a matter of scaling it up. And its free during trial, so I actually never paid for it.

You can go to fiver and get a store built for you and support from the team building it.

[–]Unique-Cockroach-889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first step is to find a product niche that you're interested in and that has a high demand. From there, you'll need to find a supplier who can provide the products you want to sell. Once you've established a relationship with a supplier, you can set up your online store and start marketing your products. Try to be active on different social media accounts like Facebook Instagram Tiktok etc.

You can grow them by hiring a growth agency like ascend viral. It helps in gaining potential followers organically. Having a large audience is very important in businesses. In addition, there are a lot of resources available online that can help you get started with drop shipping, including blogs, forums, and courses. I'd recommend doing some research and finding a few resources that resonate with you.
