I’m new to dropshipping (based in the US) and trying to understand how people approach it on Shopify.
Do customers usually care where the product is sourced from, or is it more about branding, shipping speed, and overall store experience? Also curious what’s actually worth investing in first, and why is that important?
Would really appreciate advice from people already doing it.

I recently got into drop shipping and have created my website and am trying to promote through tick tock but I'm not sure wether im doing it right I'm getting about 200 views per video and about 25 visits to my website a day but haven't been able to make a sale. Do I just need more traffic or is my website just bad. If anyone can help pls let me know.

Lately I’ve been building a simple deep work tracker for myself.
The idea is:
every time you complete focused work it gets added to a visual consistency grid so over time you can actually SEE how consistent you’ve been.
Trying to keep it minimal:
No social feed
No complicated productivity systems
No feature overload
Just curious if other people here would actually use something like this or if it’s just me trying to solve my own problem.
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!
Hello looking for direct suppliers that can manufacture mothercare focusing post-partum products.
I dont have much budget so i cant afford to launch ads in usa yet. My plan was to try and sell in my own country just to earn some little money to then move to bigger countries with different approache. I tested the old dropshipping product POSTURE CORRECTOR. I launched it with only one video ad and couple photo ads. Got my first two sales in first day and 0 in second day. Then i ran into payment issues and had to stop. Then i switched to usa with differwnt products etc etc. And nothing worked. Rn i plan to return to my small country with the same posture corrector, but my inly worry is that, irs been like 3-4 months from the last tike i tried it. And now i cant decide should i go back or save some money for the next 2-3 month and launch something in usa. Here the ad stats for that corrector. My hope is that if i come up with more video ads that there is some potential to earn some money even though this product is old
I’m in need of image ads for my dropshipping store

Or should I just keep on learning off YouTube and putting it into practice myself?
Hi,
I'm looking for a reliable supplier that meets my requirements for wholesale from China etc Apple iPhones
- 100% genuine Apple parts
- Original boxes
- Battery health above 75%
- Genuine devices
- Any iPhone model from 2024 onwards
I can do 20-80 units per month for the right product and price
Made this in 4 hours.
Just need someone to help me buy because my orders keep getting cancelled. Mostly cosmetics from nars, and summer fridays. Let me know your rates.
We don't do retainers. We don't do monthly PDF reports. We get paid when you grow, that's it.
Two months ago, a founder slid into our inbox. She was doing $8,000 a month selling wellness products on Shopify. Solid product. Genuine customer love. A handful of great reviews.
But the backend? A disaster.
Here's what we walked into:
She'd hired an agency before us. They billed her $2,500/month for six months and handed her dashboards she didn't understand. Revenue didn't move.
Month 1 : Stop the bleeding, build the base
Week 1: Audit everything. Ad account, Shopify analytics, email platform, site speed, checkout flow. We don't touch anything until we understand everything.
Week 2: Burned the ad account to the ground. Clean architecture. Fresh campaigns. The old structure was unsalvageable.
Week 3: Built a dedicated landing page for the hero product. No header navigation. No links out. One offer. One button. Done.
Week 4: Launched 8 new creatives. Four different hooks, two angles each. Threw them into the auction and let the data vote.
Simultaneously, built a 3-email abandoned cart sequence (45 mins / 20 hours / 72 hours). Built a 4-email post-purchase sequence to turn first-time buyers into second-time buyers.
Month 1 revenue : $11,200. Up $3,200. Quiet start. The machine was just warming up.
Month 2 : Double down on what's working, kill everything else
By Day 10 of Month 2, two creatives were eating the others alive.
We pulled the six losers the same day. No sentimentality.
Budget from the dead campaigns went directly to the two winners.
Landing page conversion rate had moved from 1.1% to 3.4%, same ad spend, same traffic volume, just better destination.
The abandoned cart sequence was pulling back 21% of carts that previously vanished forever.
Launched retargeting for site visitors who hadn't purchased. First 14 days: 4.8x ROAS.
Then we added a cross-sell sequence to the post-purchase flow — buyers of the hero product started receiving a tailored sequence for the complementary product 5 days after their first order.
Month 2 revenue : $27,000.
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Revenue | $8,000 | $27,000 |
| ROAS | 1.1x | 3.1x |
| Landing Page CVR | 1.1% | 3.4% |
| Abandoned Cart Recovery | 0% | 21% |
| Repeat Purchase Rate | ~0% | 26% of prior buyers |
| Retargeting ROAS | None | 4.8x |
1. Killing creative fatigue first. A 5.2 frequency means your best potential customers are annoyed by you. Fresh creative was the single fastest win. Results showed up within 72 hours of launch.
The landing page. Sending paid traffic to a homepage is a tax you're paying on every single click. A purpose-built page with one job converted at 3x the rate. That alone nearly tripled the value of existing ad spend.
Abandoned cart sequences. She was losing 21% of nearly-done buyers every single day. This sequence took four days to build. The math on leaving it unbuilt is brutal.
Retargeting warm audiences. People who visited and left already know who you are. They just needed a reason to come back. Not running retargeting is handing revenue to your competitors.
Post-purchase sequences. The first sale is an introduction, not a conclusion. The brands scaling past seven figures treat the order confirmation as the beginning of the conversation, not the end.
None of this is a secret. None of it requires a massive budget or a 10-person agency.
It requires someone who actually has skin in the game.
We kept 10% of the growth above her baseline. She kept the other 90%, and now runs a brand doing 3.4x what it was two months ago.
Got questions about the landing page structure, email copy angles, ad creative frameworks, or retargeting setup? Drop them below.
I probably posted this before tbh but, i’m a college student who hates it, and wants to escape this life and drop out and become a full time businessman… and ive failed in business numerous times but each time taught me a lesson… i got into dropshipping recently but just cant find that winning product… every video i watch on it is pretty unhelpful. I have really good web design skills, a pretty strong marketing brain and ive got a bit of a budget to run on tests but i dont wanna burn my budget on wasteful products. Can anyone help me with how to find a winning product? not generic like just do google trends like acc help?
Nothing better than seeing everything green, up and to the right 📈📈
Been putting in a lot of work on the backend to see these numbers improve
Will have a much bigger effect than anything we can do on the front end atm
We run a UK TikTok Shop cross-border account and are scaling fast. Looking to connect directly with womenswear suppliers in China who can handle serious volume.
Here is what we need:
We are not looking for AliExpress retail — we want to go direct to the supplier or factory and build a proper ongoing supply relationship. Margins need to work for both sides.
If you are a supplier, sourcing agent, or know someone who fits this, drop a comment or DM. Happy to move fast.
I’m honestly frustrated writing this, but people need to hear it.
I paid over $2,800 for a mentoring program expecting real guidance, proven strategies, and actual value. What I got instead feels like recycled beginner-level information you can find for free on YouTube.
The calls are basically the same every time. There’s no real depth, no tailored advice—just being told to “test new products” over and over again. No clear strategy, no breakdown of what’s working or not, just vague advice that ends up costing me thousands more to figure things out on my own.
So not only did I waste $2,800 on the program, I’ve also lost more money following advice that had no real structure behind it.
And to top it off, the professionalism has been questionable from the start. On day one, he showed up late to our meeting because he had been out partying. That pretty much set the tone for everything that followed.
At this price point, this is completely unacceptable.
I’m not posting this to be petty—I’m posting it because if someone had shared a post like this earlier, I probably wouldn’t have spent the money.
If you’re considering programs like this, be very careful. Ask for real proof of value, real structure, and real results—because in my case, this wasn’t it.
Would genuinely like to hear if others had similar experiences or if I’m the only one.
I own a truck repair shop in Pennsylvania and have been in business for over 15 years with all repeat customers. I do well over 6 figures sales on just truck parts (oil, filters, brakes, light bulbs, wiper blades etc) annually without even trying, all walk ins to my shop. I want to slowly retire from that and kind of phase into online sales within the next 10 years to travel with my family and be able to just work from my computer. The only problem is I have no idea how to set up a website, or know anything about online sales. I’m totally new to any of this and technology. I have money to pay the right person/company to set this all up for me but I really need good recommendations as I’ve always been in business for myself and never had to rely on anybody else
I have never seen anything like this, simply a good product on a 4 day old store!
Keep trying and you will hit, follow the trends. Keep ads simple and don’t over complicate things. It took me 30 mins to build this store, no AI just a simple layout!
