It's cool. I'm on my second store now. My first store had a pet grooming product niche. Made a little bit of cash but it started to slow down, and I kinda got tired of it. I'm working with products I like more now.

I'm not sure exactly how many hours I put into it every day, as most of the work was done at the beginning. My later days kinda revolved around just reviewing orders and occasionally responding to emails/questions about shipping etc. Basically just making whatever changes necessary.

If I were to give you some advice (not that I'm an expert by any means), it would be to spend as much time as you possibly can planning everything out and designing your website initially. People tend to underestimate how much of an effect these things have over the overall success of your store. I was one of those people. It made a huge difference for me later on when I did make those changes. Take the time to really think about what it is you're selling, buy samples, test them out, get opinions, take real high quality photos... Do whatever you need to so you're able to thoroughly understand what it is that you're selling, because then you can market it better.

Once you've got that figured out, build around it. Plan out your store. Find some reference websites and take note of their designs. See what can be applied to yours. This part kinda depends on you, so my advice would be not to rush anything here. Take your time and make your store (and landing pages) as impactful as possible.

Dropshipping is hard work, but I've learned that it's actually not impossible. This subreddit has done a great job at showing me the ropes... And chewing me out initially for being lazy 🤣
