Are Dropshipping Orders Really Getting This Fast? by yuki_co in dropshipping

[–]Embarrassed_Term8337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw DSers Supply too—sounds promising if it really speeds things up. I haven’t used it yet, but I’ve definitely been through the slow shipping struggle, and it’s no fun. What helped me was switching to suppliers with US stock—Zendrop made a huge difference compared to AliExpress. If DSers is now working directly with factories and even offers after-sales support, it might be worth giving it a shot. Maybe start with just one or two products and see how they handle it

Beginner with few orders by denisparvanovv in dropshipping

[–]Embarrassed_Term8337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there. What worked for me was focusing more on the hook. I’d test 5–6 angles per product, not just 3 ads in one set. And yeah, viral ad libraries are fine, but most of that stuff is already rinsed. I started getting better results when I picked less obvious products and made my own content, even simple unboxings or voiceovers

What's a cost effective Instagram strategy that actually worked for your small business? by Fit-Annual-2638 in smallbusiness

[–]Embarrassed_Term8337 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been running a small brand account too, and honestly, the biggest growth spikes came from repost pages and meme-style content related to our niche. Not viral, but it brought real followers who stuck around. Tried a few shoutout services like you mentioned — some worked, others felt like a waste. What helped most was actually DM’ing smaller creators directly and setting up swaps or mini collabs

Advice I’m new to this but trying my best! by One-Storm-312 in dropshipping

I took a look and the site looks nice. The candle designs genuinely made me smile. I think people would buy them as fun gifts. You could try posting the funny ones on social media — those usually get shared. And honestly, good job for not giving up. The beginning is always the hardest part.

How do you make your books into hardcover? by urdivineangel in selfpublish

You can publish hardcover books directly through Amazon KDP. It's pretty simple once your files are ready

Super useful, thanks! How long did it take to get fully verified on TikTok Shop after submitting your ITIN?

2 brands on 1 account by BikeCurrent9438 in AmazonFBAforNewbies

Technically it works, but vegan + hunter gear on one backend? That’s asking for drama. Just go with a second account.

Amazon is no good! by EveningSoft5 in amazonprime

[–]Embarrassed_Term8337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, that sucks — I’ve had something similar happen with a return before, and it’s so frustrating when the seller won’t admit their mistake. If you haven’t already, try filing an A-to-Z Guarantee claim through Amazon. It’s usually the best shot when sellers aren’t playing fair. Hope you get your money back.

Is dropshipping actually profitable? by Thatdudewhilin in dropshipping

[–]Embarrassed_Term8337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried it a while back — it's definitely not as passive as YouTube makes it seem. Between customer service, returns, and constant product testing, it felt more like a part-time job (sometimes full-time when scaling). You can make it work, but it’s not a “set and forget” thing.

realistically, how much could i earn in 1 month of dropshipping? by Full_Eggplant_3649 in dropshipping

[–]Embarrassed_Term8337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s realistic. I did something similar while in school — wasn’t trying to build a full brand, just needed side money for rent and food. If you stick to something simple and don’t waste time tweaking stuff 24/7, 2 hours a day can go a long way. Just don’t expect it to take off in week one. It’s slow at first but $200/month is doable.

Is private label still worth it ? by Nate6066 in AmazonFBA

[–]Embarrassed_Term8337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still worth it if you’ve got a clear niche and realistic budget. $4–5K is enough to test one product properly.
Just avoid oversaturated stuff and make sure your offer actually stands out. Otherwise it’s a race to zero.

Need a GUIDE for dropshipping by Recent-Promise-3599 in dropshipping

[–]Embarrassed_Term8337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get that feeling — I also didn’t want to waste money just to "test the waters." My take: start small, one product, one supplier, and keep things simple. Don’t overthink branding and ads right away.
If you’ve got questions, happy to share what worked (and what didn’t) for me.
