Okay so heres the deal. I decided to start dropshipping and instead of going for a "winning product" i decided to focus on a niche. I started in late february and it took me about 1 month to start promoting ads on meta. The current issue im having is being stuck at 2-3 sales a day. I feel like the budget i have for the ads is very low and i guess that is the reason im not getting more sales. Since my budget is low but i see good ad metrics i do get some days when i get 5 sales a day. I had a successful 10 order day once and it felt okay. Im currently at the point at which i don't know if this is a "winner" or not. To be honest after doing all the proper calculation on my COGS + fees + ads + subscriptions + random bullshit AI slop apps that i decided to try for no reason + fivver for site optimization +fivver logo = im down around 700 euros(thats not including the taxes since i dont have to worry about it currently). Im dropshipping from EU. I want to know if i should keep going and if so what should i do what should i improve? Overall heres the overview = Generated 4400 euros in revenue at an almost 4% conversion rate which is about 150 orders till now + testing ads and leaving an ad campaign that i though was successful on for a month to get more info on what to do - 3500 euros in spent for all tested campaigns. Tested around 12 different campaigns at a budget of 30-70 euros a day. Also what i was mostly happy about all of this was 3 sales that i recieved organically from google search which was great. Im also posting photos on facebook page, instagram page, pinterest page, twitter - about once a week. Any information on what to do would be great. Thanks!

So far I’ve got the store set up with Storebuild AI, connected everything with Zendrop for fulfillment, started working on product research and I’m putting together the ads now

I planned out my budget already and I’m splitting most of it into testing products and creatives first before trying to scale anything, probably gonna start with a few TikTok ads and see what sticks before going heavier

Is there anything at all that I might be missing in case I’ve gotten tunnel vision or anything I should be focusing on, I’ve got the store set up, I’m working on ads and product research, fulfillment and store are set up. I feel like I’m missing something but I dunno if it’s just doubt creeping in or if I’m really having tunnel vision and having a moment of self awareness.

I just started dropshipping and I’ve mostly got the supplier and fulfillment side set up already with Zendrop, so now I’m trying to learn the ads side properly.

Right now I don’t really understand what the best way to approach ads is as a beginner. Should I be focusing on UGC, testing different creatives, posting organically, running paid ads immediately, or something else?

Also trying to understand how people test products properly in the beginning and how much testing you’re realistically supposed to do before deciding if a product is worth continuing with.

Hello all! I'm interested in starting a drop shipping business but I have learned that there are a variety of things I need before launching an online store. Do I have to acquire a seller's permit and a business license, and register an LLC? I just want to make sure I'm following state laws. Thanks!

I’m helping my wife start a dropship business. Niche: silk lingerie, bed sheets, luxury boudoir products. Plan on using CJdropshipping for fulfillment to start and test.

I have a custom domain with woo commerce setup, business PayPal account for payment, etc.

From your experience should I start out by using the custom domain or should I setup a Shopify account. Is it possible to do both?

I’m looking for an AI store builder because I’m starting my store for dropshipping soon and I don’t know how to build a store myself, and learning all of that right now is kinda a process I don’t really wanna go through

If you’ve used one before which one did you use and how was your experience with it, and would you recommend it for someone who’s just getting started?

I have been loosely researching aircraft seat covers this season as I am trying to get a picture of how prices generally fluctuate for aviation-related equipment and it is surprising to see how varying the discounts are. Some suppliers appear to be marketing seasonal deals, whereas others maintain a regular pricing structure as whether the material and certification is A.B. (Air Bus) approved or not. I have been conducting some general research by looking at various prices online including searching on Alibaba just to get an estimate of bulk pricing against individual retail clients. What I find interesting is that no matter what discounts there are, certain categories will not change in price like fire retardant and leather covers being more expensive, and generic synthetic covers when selling as certain items or end of shelf. Secondly, from a marketing point of view, timing seems to be very strategic; some take about lower prices at end of quarter sales or during changeover sales from old to new covers. Am still trying to get my head round whether there is some kind of seasonal pattern, or whether different suppliers will fluctuate a lot. If people come from an aviation parts, or procurement background, do you wait to buy at certain times of the year, or purchase seat covers 'cold', and negotiate when buying?

Started my dropshipping store ~3 weeks ago and did around ₹65k in revenue so far.

Getting decent order volume, so I don’t think product or ads are the issue.

Big problem: RTOs (India, mostly COD orders). It’s killing margins.

I’ve tried:

- Prepaid discounts

- Calling some customers to confirm orders

Still, most people choose COD and a good chunk ends up returning.

For those selling in India:

- How are you actually reducing RTOs?

- What’s worked for pushing prepaid orders?

- Are confirmation calls even worth it at scale?

Would appreciate any real, practical advice.
