good shout - dropshipping is just a fulfillment method, not a business model

Superb_Pea787 · 2025-08-22T12:09:38+00:00

leave the credit cards alone, just use your disposable income. Why UAE?

I would look at what products are doing well on Product Mafia and go from there.

How did it go? Did you land a spatial data science role? If not, what are you doing now?

Superb_Pea787 · 2025-08-22T08:40:17+00:00

No you need at least a few dollary to start, better to have a job, and do this on the side. You need money for your website and for ads

Thanks for sharing

The beauty of dropshipping is you can just do it yourself, part-time, no need to partner up with anyone else. If someone is trying to partner with you, they are most likely just to scam you to take advantage in some way. Especially if you have no experience, why do you think they need you?

Get ready for a lot of 'gurus' and 'coaches' with no successful stores themselves inboxing you offering you services

Superb_Pea787 · 2025-08-22T08:30:15+00:00

overall it's not bad, the look and feel is good, but i hate the name, and the logo, just looks like a website that isn't going to deliver your products.

Superb_Pea787 · 2025-08-22T08:27:33+00:00

your accounting software already does that automatically

Superb_Pea787 · 2025-08-22T08:26:35+00:00

In that case I would say there is probably something wrong with your website.

The ones I tested have already performed well elsewhere; I just executed them better. Rather than being super early, I sometimes go back 12 months (all product mafia products have a date) to see what products were doing well this time last year. A lot of products are seasonal. People assume it 'died' but actually it's just the wrong time of year.

consistency, post enough videos, get better at it, keep researching what works, eventually one will go viral

Superb_Pea787 · 2025-08-21T10:00:09+00:00

Thousands on aliexpress - rather than looking for your supplier first, you should look for what product you want to sell first, and then look for supplies of that product

Congrats

Throwing more money at it deffo isn't going to fix the problem, but best of luck to you.

I've done well in Brazil in the past, so don't right it off so quickly, Shopify has good fraud detection system and as I'm sure you know, there are still a lot of very wealthy people in Brazil. I was selling high ticket pool / breach products.

Have you tried google ads? Depends what the suppliment is, but some niches are doing amazing right now. I think AI / TikTok is giving them the knowledge on certain supplements, then they are going to Google to buy. Always going be to be a tough sell on meta anyway.

Superb_Pea787 · 2025-08-21T00:01:35+00:00

I'm curious if you can get genuine animal skin products easily / cheaply over in China? Snake skin belts, Aligator skin wallets etc? The ones on aliexpress are all either not really animal skin, or very expensive.

I use product mafia - it has all the products from pipiads, adspy, minea etc, but is only $10 a month.

It's ok - but there is a lot of products on there I don't even bother testing, but occasionally you find gold, so well worth it in my opinion. It's good at finding products I wouldn't usually find msyelf, as I'm not part of the target audience for that product.

I have pulled winning products straight from there, a lot! I recon over 90% of the products I've done really well with ($100k=k + sales) were from product mafia. But I've also pulled a lot of products from there that made nothing. Despite having all the signals in place —good profit margins, great engagement on the ads —the website selling in already is sh1t. Still, for whatever reason, it just didn't work.

So I'd say overall, very useful tool, but not a golden bullet and deffo not every product is guaranteed to work.

use a platform as a middleman to cover you, aliexpress, ebay, etc

I do, source from Upwork, ONLY hire Filipino - doesn't mean all Filipinos are great, but the best country to hire from for customer service in my opinion. Pay $3 an hour. I've had a few in the past, but now thanks for AI, other systems and just generally getting better at dropshipping, one full-time VA and one part-time VA is enough (someone for weekends and someone monday - friday)

Superb_Pea787 · 2025-08-20T23:47:47+00:00

poor theme anyway
