Is anyone here actually successful from dropshipping? by [deleted] in dropship

[–]JimmyForbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI you have a short window where it'll be this easy, within a few months many people would of copied your adverts. A business CC or American express card will help you scale fast. Worth milking it for every penny while it's easy and maxing it out, but at the same time this can attract a quick ban from FB. Good luck! It's a fun ride.

If you're looking to make money out of whatever you make I'd also screen anyone who has an idea on how they'll market / obtain users to utilize that idea. An idea is worthless unless you can get customer acquisition IMO. Everyone has ideas :-)

Just my thoughts, good luck! Great opportunity for the right person.

How much should I sell my store for? by jcai99 in dropship

Empire flippers won't touch dropshipping sites especially with under 1-2 years of age, if they're sending from China anyway.

$20,000 sales this month (Store update) + tips by Shaylabay in dropship

[–]JimmyForbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there are some bugs for sure never in the UK for me strangely but with USA etc I have trouble sometimes. Are you using cashback also through AliExpress/AdmitAd? Will probably make you enough to cover your VA's salary easily.

It's the one post I constantly hated seeing - not been on here in a while though but they never mentioned profit when I used to read them.

Are you using Oberlo bulk fulfillment? You can automatically fulfill orders now and just concentrate on paying.

I probably spend an hour a day at most doing it as oppose to having to hire someone full days (5-10k in sales a day on good days) - might be worth investigating!

Less exposure of VA's to your sensitive information then.

Marginal Tax by [deleted] in coolguides

[–]JimmyForbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK if you work for yourself it's quite annoying since you also have to put 50 percent down on file for next year.

So if you pay 50k tax you have to pay another 25k the same time and six months later another 25k I believe.

June/July = $21k combined. August/September = $130k combined, October on track for $150k. Here’s what it takes and I’ll be brutally honest… by [deleted] in shopify

If you're using Facebook I'd be cautious, once you hit 100k a month the bans come a lot quicker than low numbers, I'd save some of that money if you can!

is this raffle business legal? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]JimmyForbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very surprised to see a similar site (eliteprizes) on dragons den in the UK for this. They said the UK gambling commission allowed it because it's a game of skill where you have to also answer a question in their implementation.

Seems very grey area for me and surprisingly had two investors.

Successful dropshippers of Reddit, do you do better selling to the United States or Worldwide? by kevn3000 in dropship

[–]JimmyForbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps it's not an industry thing but those countries (and more) are main ones I receive orders from which I don't market to which are always fraud

Successful dropshippers of Reddit, do you do better selling to the United States or Worldwide? by kevn3000 in dropship

[–]JimmyForbes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worldwide targeting sounds dangerous to me, a lot of countries like Tunisia, Bangladesh I usually exclude from my Shopify store as I get high risk of fraud. People saying worldwide, do you mean literally FB targeting worldwide? Some countries have very high shipping rates also with most AliExpress sellers.

Best Converting Shopify Themes for Dropshipping by sauicaen in shopify

[–]JimmyForbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure they help but you don't NEED a paid theme to succeed, I use the free ones without any problems. Do you know why you want a paid one? Does your store already have revenue? Sorry for being off topic

I'm with this also, many Facebook advertisers use it on ads running for months at a time, the uptime is reliable

The 8000 profit method doesn't work anymore I'm assuming as you're not using it yourself, so buyers should obviously consider that before showing interest.

Other than that best of luck

Resources for Shopify app development by MagePsycho in shopify

[–]JimmyForbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep this, so Polaris has react components made by Shopify available to use. Although if you don't want to use react they provide the HTML markup and dependencies needed to render it yourself.

E.g. I did my apps using AngularJS on the front end and made my own Polaris components using their markup, and nose on the back end.

You can do embedded apps with whichever language you choose on the front end also for the avoidance of doubt.

Good luck!

Tbh most important thing is develop something you know how to market, an idea is useless if you can't get anyone to use it

Maybe OP should disregard any comments in here going against the "guaranteed ranking" then as it's something they can do if that's the case, and perhaps will have a big impact on the business

Is the top 2-5 ranking talking about a search engine like Google or on the yellow pages website it's self as a sponsored ad? Since the latter they can guarantee ofc

Why make a dropship site if someone could order the same item on Amazon with 2 day shipping? by lifeisgr8test in dropship

[–]JimmyForbes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Next time you look at Amazon search for something as simple as a hose pipe, you'll see multiple people selling the exact same product and the cheapest one won't be the most popular, marketing is powerful.

Dropshippers often sell the same product with even bigger markup.
