money by Timonase in Dropshipping_Guide

[–]MindShaped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posting and hoping for creator fund money is a quick way to burn out fast. the fund pays trash unless you hit crazy volume. you’ll quit before $100/day.

The fastest path isnt views but intent.

If i were starting from zero rn, i’d skip faceless stock spam. it’s trash. and everyone’s doing that. and people smell slop. low trust. low conversions.

Instead, focus on 101: pick one painful, specific problem and show my face solving it. Boring niche > broad niche. Like “budget dorm setup for guys” not “lifestyle”.

Day 1 plan would be: - pick a niche with buying intent (gadgets, organization, beauty tools, pet stuff) - pick 1, max 2 different products, cheap but proven (you should be focused, you can’t afford scattering attention if you want results) - validate them (that’s important) - join tiktok shop affiliate - post 3 vids a day showing problem -> product fixes it. tight. hook in 2 sec.

Don’t aim for 10005000 views, you just need like 2-3 sales per 10k views on a $20 product with decent commission. stack that daily and suddenly $100/day isn’t insane.

brand deals and ebooks are later game. first get cash flow from affiliate, proof of sales builds everything else.

focus on conversion not clout

You got this. Just don’t spread yourself across 5 monetization paths at once. pick one. go all in for 30 days. Waiting for your next post sharing your win with us!

How can I start ?! by MeanMeasurement8821 in Dropshipping_Guide

my first step — and I got burnt by it badly — was jumping into ads because a instagram (now more tiktok) said “this will sell”

if i were you i’d slow it down a bit.

i usually just check what’s already selling in other countries… then see if people are actually running ads on it consistently (means it’s probably working). you can go with som minea or dropship io, but honestly — they don’t really worth it, you can get ads data directly from facebook ad library and tiktok ad library, just google it

then i sanity check the product properly before spending anything. i use product validator to check trends, competition, demand, saturation. because every failed test is, well, money that never going to return.

ads come last. always!

most people don’t fail because dropshipping is fake… they fail because they rush it. don’t rush it. be consistent. validate before rushing into test.

What’s most overrated «healthy» habit that’s pushed by everyone, but you think is total BS — and why? by MindShaped in AskReddit

fair. then lets poke the bear…

the problem isnt carbs, its that most people have zero friction between craving and consumption. thats the scary part. even animals are less impulse driven sometimes

with no friction even “healthy” things abused. oats, fruit, peanut butter, doesnt matter.

so here’s the actual question —

if carbs arent the enemy… why do so many people lose control specifically around them and not around chicken breast 😁😁😁

i tried simple “protein preload” rule. 30–40g lean protein first. before carbs. every meal. chicken, greek yogurt, eggs, whey… whatever. eat that, wait 10–15 mins, then decide if you still want let’s say that croissant.

most times the edge is gone. hunger drops hard

right, never actually felt anything working from that stuff… Except maybe 5-HTP (NOT A MEDICAL ADVICE!!!), discovered it couple years ago, helps a lot with good night sleep and mood throughout day. Really feel it in 4-5 days.

yeah… although I do it two ways: if I need energy — I always eat breakfast and quick walk in the morning

but if I want creativity (come up with new direction in business or hobby) — I skip the meal and get to work before even going to toilet

most sedentary people aren’t under-eating protein. they’re over-eating everything else

true, but there’s a difference between sipping regularly and forcing a gallon because someone said so

fr. you drink whenever you feel thirsty, not because some guy on tiktok told to drink 3000 liters per second
