Hey everyone!
I'm Zinc. If you want a quick back story on who I am, check out my introduction thread!
I run multiple (5 currently) online stores with Shopify. Many think that the dropshipping model is dead, but myself along with tons of others are easily achieving over 7 figures in revenue yearly. Note: I don't strictly dropship. I use it as a proof of concept and later acquire US inventory/fulfillment.
I love helping others achieve success because I know what it's like to be left in the dust.
If anyone has ANY questions for me, please drop them below. I'd be glad to help.
What's your store/product? I go through tons of precautionary measures to make sure dropshippers don't see my ads. I do not and will not share my stores nor my products until after they've died off.
How do you advertise? I focus on Facebook Ads, but I'm constantly receiving DMs from huge influencers (millions of followers huge) wanting to work with me. I don't chase influencers, but when they show up, I run them and they do insanely well.
What about shipping times? Dropshipping is a PROOF OF CONCEPT in my eyes. I test my products/stores with Chinese AliExpress suppliers. Once proven, I start private labeling and setup fulfillment in the US. Sure, people complained early on; so what? It's unethical to some, but they DO receive their product and I do state on my site that it can take up to 30 days to arrive. All in all, I almost NEVER receive chargebacks due to shipping times.
What's your NET PROFIT? I average roughly 36% net profit on my main store. It was lower before I had my US fulfillment setup.

FAQ:
How much money do I need to start dropshipping? Don't listen to most BSers out there. They're all trying to sell you these pre-built stores that "guarantee sales", but in reality, you'll need at LEAST $1.5k to start. Facebook Ads can cost THOUSANDS of dollars spent on testing before you find a way to profit. That's EXTREMELY common now, and it's usually the case.What's your store/product?
