Hello,

Guys!! Can someone tell me that how can I get my first sale 😩!!!

So I've been trying to dropship for quite some days now but i am not able to get any reliable suppliers . I'm trying to get suppliers and I've spoken to many of those but whenever i get an order they just stop replying to my messages and calls or reply like we are not taking dropshipping orders now. I've reached out to a few suppliers in Gujarat but i thought someone might be able to help out here.

Guy's I'm thinking of starting a small online business but i have literally no idea about the shipping and delivery stuffs...so please tell me about some reliable and affordable platform for doing it. So please help me with it😭

As i am an beginner for the product research, what I do is, I have an Instagram account that show me products that are viral on foreign market like in USA, UK, Canada, etc. Some products from there and then check the availability in India is this product is available or not, what I mean to say is, is this product easily available or not? Then if it is available. I don’t sell it, and if it is not easily available, then I check the Indian Amazon for the availability. If it is passed from there, I check Facebook ad Library. Are there any competitor than if the product is filter out from all the step then I sell it
So what I want you to tell is this process right?
How can I know that this product is viral on foreign market like USA, Canada, UK, and Europe and maybe in Middle East?
What is the best product research method
How can I spot the winning product?
Is there any other resources for free in product research?
Is anything I miss in the product research?
Note, I don’t have any money for paid product research tools. So only suggest me free methods

I’ve been dropshipping for a while and I’m looking to connect with other people who are actively scaling and doing meaningful volume.
Thinking of putting together a small, private Discord -no courses, just a close-knit group to share product ideas, creatives, scaling strategies, suppliers, ad insights, and what’s actually working.
The goal is to keep it small, useful, and build a circle where everyone contributes and grows together.
If you’re doing solid monthly revenue/ad spend and interested, comment or DM me.

I’ve been using Shipdaak for the last few months mainly because their pricing was better than other aggregators.

But today my operations team informed me that more than 200 COD parcels delivered during April and May are still unpaid. The pending amount is around ₹2.55 lakh.

We’ve been following up continuously and the only response we keep getting is that they’re facing a “banking issue.”

What makes this even more concerning is that they’ve now disabled Instagram comments instead of publicly addressing seller complaints.

For small and growing brands, COD remittance delays of this scale can seriously affect cash flow and operations.

At this point, I’d strongly advise sellers to be cautious.

Hi everyone, I’m considering starting an online saree business using a dropshipping model, mainly targeting customers in India and potentially overseas.

I’d like to hear from people who have experience with saree e-commerce or dropshipping:

- Is selling sarees through dropshipping actually profitable?

- What kind of profit margins can realistically be expected?

- Are there any major challenges with suppliers, quality, returns, or shipping?

- Is there good demand for sarees online, especially among international customers?

- Would you recommend dropshipping or holding inventory for this type of business?

Any advice, personal experiences, or things I should consider before starting would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m trying to understand how Meta Ads work and how the algorithm finds the right audience for an advertisement.

How long does it typically take for Meta’s algorithm to learn and start reaching the target customers who are most likely to engage or make a purchase?

For someone starting with a new ad account and a limited budget, what should I realistically expect during the first few days or weeks?

I’d appreciate any advice or real-world experience with Meta Ads, especially regarding the learning phase, audience targeting, and how long it takes to get consistent results.

I’m looking to connect with people in India who are selling products through Shopify and trying to build something profitable. Would love to connect, share insights, talk about what’s working and what isn’t, and help each other out along the way. If you’re doing something similar, feel free to reach out!

Im looking for some best trending useful gadgets with reasonable wholesale price. Can assure 30 orders per daily for a winning product. If you or you may know any good suppliers please let me know

I’m looking for a reliable supplier/manufacturer in India who can support dropshipping and direct-to-customer fulfillment.

I’m mainly looking for suppliers who can handle regular daily orders, fast dispatch, COD, good pricing, and neutral/custom packaging. Open to different product categories.

If you’re a supplier or currently working with Indian dropshippers, please DM me with your product catalogue, pricing, MOQ, shipping process, and fulfillment terms.

Looking for a long-term partnership, not a one-time purchase.

I’m running a dropshipping business in India. I’ve removed the COD option because of several issues and currently offering prepaid orders only now I’m looking for ways to increase prepaid orders, especially methods that have actually worked for other dropshippers.

Currently I am offering these offers on my store:

•10% OFF on every order

• Bundles offers

What strategies would you recommend to increase prepaid orders?

I have been in the ecom space since 2+ years and have a skincare & a toy’s eccomerce D2C store and would love to connect with people in the same space and share ideas

If anyone is open drop me a DM :)

Hey everyone,

I've been running a Shopify dropshipping store solo for a while now — handling Meta Ads (campaign structuring, creative testing, scaling with ABO), Shopify backend, COD fulfillment via Shipeaso, tracking setup (Pixel + CAPI), and GST compliance. I've got the unit economics figured out and a working playbook for creative testing and ad account management.

What I'm missing is bandwidth — doing ads, fulfillment, content, and customer support solo is starting to cap how fast I can scale. I'm looking for a partner (not a freelancer/VA) who wants real skin in the game — someone to split ownership with and build this into something bigger.

What I bring:

• Live Meta Ads accounts with real spend/data history
• Shopify store + supplier/fulfillment pipeline already set up
• GST filing and basic compliance handled
• Testing frameworks for ad angles/creatives that actually convert

What I'm looking for in a partner:

• Content/creative skills (video editing, UGC, product photography) OR
• Supplier sourcing / logistics chops OR
• Capital to help scale ad spend
• Someone based in India, ideally who can commit real hours, not a side-hustle-for-fun mindset

Open to discussing equity split based on what you bring. Not looking for a "let's see how it goes" situation — I want someone who's serious about building a real ecommerce brand, not just testing the waters.

DM me if this sounds interesting — happy to share more specifics (numbers, niche, what's working) once we're talking.
