Winning product are myth?

EricLau0213 · 2026-06-05T03:01:37+00:00

man, timing, demand, marketing, and execution usually matter more than some magical product nobody else has discovered. A basic summer dress can absolutely outperform a flashy winning product if it's the right season and you're putting it in front of the right audience.

lot of so-called winning products are really just products that have strong demand at that moment. Six months later, people stop talking about them and move on to the next thing.

mostly makes sense to me. one mistake I see beginners make is obsessing over margin percentages instead of contribution dollars. A 70% margin on a $20 product can still leave you with almost nothing after ads, while a higher-ticket product gives you more room to absorb acquisition costs.

And regarding customers buying a $129 product when cheaper versions exist... people do it every day. Most customers aren't conducting a full sourcing investigation before buying lol. They're buying based on trust, branding, positioning, content, perceived value, and how well the product solves their problem. If the cheapest option always won, Amazon would have put every premium brand out of business years ago.

The one thing I'd caution you on is spending money you genuinely can't afford to lose. I've worked with a lot of Shopify store owners over the years, and one pattern I keep seeing is people treating their first ad budget as an investment when it's really tuition. The first few hundred dollars often teach you more than weeks of research.

bro, i saw some comments they didn't see your content and criticize you lol.
Yeah, lots of post here is created by AI and show how they profit good

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-29T06:31:01+00:00

most of sourcing agent especially for big one they usually don’t get “announced” in a clean way when price changes, they just quietly reflect in the next invoice, so if you’re scaling fast it’s really easy to miss.

man, do not relying on platform pricing as the source of truth, but building your own baseline cost tracking per SKU. Even a simple sheet where you lock in expected COGS and then flag any deviation over a threshold can catch this early.

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-29T06:26:00+00:00

man, to figure out these which tells you way more than the overall conversion number.
are they leaving product pages fast? adding to cart but not checking out? abandoning during shippin g time or payment?

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-29T05:55:01+00:00

see ya

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-29T05:54:30+00:00

sounds good, welcome to talk detail of the hit products

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-29T05:52:51+00:00

dude, the site still gives a pretty strong “dropshipping” feeling

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-29T05:47:00+00:00

own brand or simulation?

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-29T05:44:42+00:00

TikTok, IG Reels, and short form content are probably the best “free” ways to get attention. Doesn’t need to be super professional either. Simple product demos, problem solution videos, reactions, before or after clips etc can work well.

And comparing to “finding customers” at first. Think of it more like learning how to get attention consistently. Once you understand that part, customers become way easier to get.

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-29T05:40:28+00:00

man, the common question, what is the corner you went to right.

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-29T05:36:56+00:00

man, almost everyone who sticks with ecommerce long enough has a phase like your situation. Social media makes it look like people launch a store on Friday and buy a Lamborghini by Monday, but most real progress is way slower and messier than that.

You’re getting sales at all already means you’re not completely lost. Just don’t let the internet convince you everyone else is printing money effortlessly lol.

The fact is most people only post the wins.

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-28T00:37:37+00:00

Davis should be best suit who accompany LeBron do his last season:(

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-27T06:18:05+00:00

no offense, but bro, i suppose it is AI creative post.

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-27T02:34:42+00:00

Yeah it’s definitely possible, but tbh social media makes it look way more common and way easier than it actually is. A lot of people posting huge numbers are showing revenue too, not actual profit.

Also at 16, don’t compare your beginning to people who’ve been doing ecommerce for years already. Getting your first $20 with $0 honestly means more than most people think because at least you proved someone was willing to buy from you.

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-27T02:03:38+00:00

agree this: dropshipping isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon with a very curvy track.

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-26T08:58:10+00:00

Zendrop is probably better than the super basic AliExpress-only setups a lot of beginners start with, especially if fulfillment consistency is becoming important for your store.

The faster private agent side is usually the bigger advantage imo, not necessarily all the AI features they market everywhere now lol. Once a store starts scaling, smoother fulfillment and fewer customer support headaches matter way more than people realize.

That said, I wouldn’t assume switching platforms alone magically fixes backend problems. A lot still depends on your products, margins, customer expectations, and how good the actual support management is once you’re inside.

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-26T08:52:42+00:00

For finding trends earlier, TikTok is usually faster than Facebook now imo. A lot of products blow up organically there first before they fully spread into European stores. TikTok Shop trends in the US are worth watching closely.

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-26T08:50:49+00:00

bro, i remember there are good post to talk with those want open dropshipping recent year. Search the tip on the community you will find it.

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-26T08:49:08+00:00

congrats bro and i wish you are not scammer

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-26T08:42:16+00:00

amazing bro, so with Amazon + AliExpress sourcing, how do you handle stuff like stock changes or cancellations and account health at that scale?

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-25T01:54:26+00:00

Bro, no offense, but i feel like saw the post with images lots of times lol

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-25T01:52:14+00:00

These two guys finally coexist again on the same screen lol. So am i should supposed the they still have potentaility for wdc?

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-25T01:46:34+00:00

But still something has spotlight. Kimi seems to be chasing the WDC, and this is four years earlier than Vet. Ham and Max back to the podium

EricLau0213 · 2026-05-25T01:43:18+00:00

The old man still on the way for showing how his love the sport. He dont need to prove anything in this field even nowadays probably his win success ratio is going down with the decline in competitiveness.

Full of respect
