[METHOD] Dropshipping made as easy as it can be

Thanks I guess the methods you use could be done by other people. Like I ask my sis and mum to buy the products then never send them and get them to write reviews. Plus to add all my stock in there basket.
I'm looking at selling on Etsy so thanks alot I will try this out

You gotta be very careful with how you mark your products being made. Etsy asks you if "you", "a member of my shop" or "somebody else" makes the product. If you post a POD shirt and say "you" make it, you'll get banned. Try my suggestion - open a store and add 10-15 tee's that are obviously POD via Printful. This got me through the "verification" process, might work for you too
Would selling 10 or so handmade products get me through the verification as well? would assume so...

My partner has been looking to do esty for her hand made shoes , she is in Thailand, I spend 3-5 months a yr out there , the rest in the uk.
She has asked me to help out , as I have never done esty I'm wondering ....
1. Do hand made goods sell ?
2. Do I stock in the uk for her and drop uk to eu. USA. UK or is it best thailand dropping usually 7-10 days.
3. As I dont know esty , I'm thinking to use fiverr to have a store set up , is that advisable ?
4. She makes the shoes for $3-5 , I suggested selling them at $9.99-14.99 post added. We have seen simular ones on esty for $19.99 but feel she will get more sales doing them cheaper then anyone else.
Great post , thx for any advice to my questions.

Possibly, yep. I just took the POD approach, however I was thinking that buying something in a local handmade shop could also work. Moreso I think it's about the time passed and maybe your first 5 sales or so.

Hey! Thanks for taking an interest
1. Handmade good DEFINATELY sell, pretty much the main focus of Etsy.2.Ship from Thailand, higher profit margins for all.
3. Nah, don't. Honestly very simple. It'll take you a couple days to understand everything, but it's INCREDIBLY simple, there literally isnt that much you even can do.
4. go for the 12-15$ range, and maybe do 3-5 for shipping. Just make sure it says under 20
Sure. You can DM me on here and I'd love to tell you more

Printful is a Print on Demand service and they have integration with Etsy. You need to create designs, add them to printful and they'll make mockups for you. Use them to create listings on Etsy. Research a bit about them. Since they have integration with Etsy, as in you can log into your printful account via etsy and somehow link the two together, just adding legitimacy.

Doesn't my matter. My store says its in England, I ship all items from China but my billing address is my real country - Latvia. They don't seem to care about this too much lol

Thx for the reply! Just wanna make sure that understood right. I should upload my designs (some unique graphic) to printful, but in etsy should add "complete product", for example a t-shirt with my designs (that i previously added at printfull)?

Yessir, exactly. Create the shirts first in Printful, and save them as templates. If you connect Printful with Etsy, you can import shirts from Printful to Etsy. Then wait, maybe advertise. I think I got 1 or 2 sales before I started placing stuff from Etsy. Message me directly on BHW and I can tell you more. Tit for tat

Hi GRQ Thomas, thanks for sharing this. I'd like to send you a PM but I don't have the ability to do so yet. I own an agency and always curious to try new things like this. I was wondering if you could PM me a link to your store, I am kinda curious to see more of what's involved. How long does it take for a beginner to get everything set up and earning their first $? Thank you again

As for now, do NOT use Printful. Their Delivery time sucks due to Covid19

Yep, AliExpress seems to be recovering pretty well though, which is perfect
