Anyone do Shopify drop shipping as a side business?
Seems like passive-ish income once you find the right product, supplier, and design a good website. Anyone have any experience? Is the money worthwhile?
If a guru advertises a business opportunity you are the the customer, if you see ads being pushed for an idea like drop shipping assume the market is saturated and don’t expect to make money but learn some skills from the work you do. Dropshippings been around since around the time of when wish was founded its super saturated
I made $40 after spending $80 in a month on FB advertising lol. It’s a nice hobby though. I think if I gave my webstore some more love and actually use analytics to re-target audiences, I’d probably make ROI on ad spend faster.
Yea that's my concern as well. It seems hard to make money after ad spend. Theoretically better to be on the advertiser side (i.e. working at G/F lol).
You can definitely game it though. I use Shopify and have it connected to FB, Insta, Pinterest, eBay, Amazon, and Alibaba. I’m still doing market research using FB pixel so I don’t mind dropping a few coins to figure out what works for my niche. I’m pretty sure I could break even fast once I get that data. Plus, I’m having fun and learning a lot. Worth it!
Not at all worth it. If you have a good product , just sell on amazon to see if those products are market fit. Having a good website is not enough for a business. You need to spend on ads to promote. Manage returns and customer service. Unless you are going to put someone to follow up , it’s not a side hustle
