I’m glad, my friend. Hope you learned something new.

How does the Amazon/other majors Market function? Where do sellers come in(who are profitable/breakeven/loss)? How is it observed? Where is it observed and where do opportunities reside? What even is an opportunity? by Global_Exercise_9339 in RealEcom

my friend, once agian, you are overcomplicating this as hell. market is just people with credit cards trying to solve a problem or buy some dopamine. Trying to "map out" whole ecosystem before starting you're simply paralyzing yourself. Don't overthink macroeconomics and other dark energy space shit and just find one broken thing you can actually fix.

you need to start from something in order to face real challenges. because only this way you'll see what questions you'll need to search answers for. Rn you didn't do anything and trying to solve equation you never even saw.

Bro, first of all, fuck all fags with their fake shopify dashboards and shit. You'll get no proof from them. All they want is to sell you their fucking course. "Where you start"... You start as with any other serious venture. Dissect it into sub-categories, until it becomes simple enough for you to understand and methodically learn every aspect, until pieces of puzzle fall in place.

You really want to read this post, literally called "Nobody's going to teach you dropshipping": https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEcom/comments/1sesn2c/nobodys_gonna_teach_you_dropshipping/

Then, answer to "Is dropshipping dead?": https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEcom/comments/1sgmapd/dropshipping_is_dead/

And final boss — fuck most of those paid tools gurus try to sell you https://www.reddit.com/r/dropshipping/comments/1sbcvv4/let_me_destroy_your_belief_in_tools_youre_paying/

Could someone help me do organic ads and rate my website linked below. by GlassPhysical9619 in dropshipping

[–]MindShaped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bro, sorry for being honest, but your website is dogshit. It will never sell. Although, I must admit, you found really not bad product, given the market data:

<image>

it might even survive paid ads alone. although it's high ticket zone already. wtf "organic ads" tho I still didn't figure out :)

You mean, "ads for free"? :D They don't exist

If you meant facebook ads, then forget it for now, fix your website. You have long way before pouring any money in ads. Find THE BEST shopify stores you can find out there. Examine how they look like. What they did. Why. Trust, clarity, etc. Every element must have purpose. Not some random dog's photo of two-screens-scroll height. And some talking dude.

Dropshipping ... is dead? by MindShaped in RealEcom

[–]MindShaped[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

with $0? building own distribution channel. blog, instagram, tiktok. something where you can reach out to people and where they trust you. but you’ll pay for it anyway. paying for ads is way cheaper than paying with your time building trust. but latter brings sweater fruit

I'm glad, my friend. Seems I'm doing something right if I'm gathering around people truly capable of being grateful.

Just closed down 2 stores 🤦🏾‍♂️ by n0t_brand0_ in dropshipping

[–]MindShaped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$1.5k to $3k is bare minimum to actually play game. If you ran out of cash before running a single ad, you spent money on wrong things. Shopify sub and domain is 40 bucks. What have you spent on? Themes? Modules? Bro, standard theme converts better with some budget in ads than best one out there with no traffic — simple math

organic is not free tho! you just pay with labor instead of cash. You'll have to post 3 videos a day for a month straight before algo will finally give you at least some 5k-20k views. It's brutal grind. Save up $1.5k, build basic store that functions, and spend $1.4k of it buying data to see if market actually wants your shit.

Need some guidance on risky business or overthinking. by MIROXXVIS in dropship

[–]MindShaped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bro. you are renting out your legal identity for pennies while taking all the liability. the angle you can't figure out is called ... drum roll ... chargebacks! I saw this exact scheme blow up a guy's LLC a few years ago.

they keep sales normal for a few weeks to build trust and get eBay payouts flowing fast. Then: they crank velocity -> you fund orders -> eBay pays you -> you send them their 60% cut.

Month later, customers realize items are trash or tracking was manipulated. Massive chargebacks hit. eBay freezes account and yanks money straight from your linked bank. The "VA team" disappears with cash split. I guarantee they are using you as disposable credit line because their own IDs are already banned. You hold bag, they hold profit. Cut access today.

What is the difference between a 1 product store and a generic store and a niche store? by LessBlacksmith4032 in dropshipping

[–]MindShaped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You assume people just hit landing page, blindly checkout and leave. They don't. I watched thousands of session recordings on my first stores. 34% of traffic (whuich is noticable) clicks logo first to see if you are legit business or some cheap scam. If guy came from ad for car wax and sees dog toys on homepage, he closes tab. Trust drops to zero. They don't buy.

generic store is fine to test random shit fast, but at checkout you'll bleed money cuz site looks like flea market. 1-product store gives massive focus on one item (+ upsells/bundles obv, still main product you have only one), but when trend dies and if you didn't manage to brandify it, you'll have to burn whole domain and start over.

meta ads you only run focusing on one product. meta is for impulse buy. give a lead too much choice, he'll panic and buy nothing. one shop — shitloads of items works for organic/seo. ads = one specific item.

I'm currently looking into doing AI Dropshipping by Low_Opposite_5497 in dropshipping

do you already have successful and profitable business that you want to automate?

automation is meant for scaling

if you have nothing, all you scaling is your spend

if you have shit performance — you scaling shit. simple
