Great job, buddy. There's a lot of great pointers and advice in your post that I can relate to and went through myself. Hopefully people who read your post will absorb some of the gems contained within it.

Which plaform u go find those influence?

should be social chat or what? I forget

next means your IG must put the product of course to let the influence tag you right?

 

[dennisyu]

But paypal dont release funds until buyer confirms, so how did you pay your supplier if you started with 0? He shipped without payment?

Paypal might hold funds on occassion, but that is uncommon and that is not what their buisness model is based on. Funds are usually always available.

I just followed lots of meme pages on instagram and messages those with good engagement rates (sometime they won’t reply but keep at it)

Yes, you also ask them to put the link to the product in their bio

Thanks for sharing dude,

Right now if you can find a legitimate US supplier for a product on Aliexpress, it’s a great time to start. Ad costs are lower than ever, so you’ll get a lot more out of your budget.

Additionally, if you start down the lower ticket route you’ll be able to buy in bulk a lot earlier in the process - that will cut out 90% of your customer and payment processor problems before you scale hard

This is the kind of stuff that needs to be bookmarked. Thanks for putting this together. I recently started my drop ship journey - lots of things to learn here. Cheers

Thanks for the feedback, I put it together kind of hastily , but I’m glad it made sense to you in the end.

I actually wrote on my wall:

“Someone may be bigger , stronger , faster or smarter than you. But there’s no excuse to not be the hardest worker”

And i may have a poster of an i8 on their aswell...

Best of luck to you!

[hippo123]

That is correct.

I only target US

What kind of keywords do you target? Are they > 2 words?

For example if the product is a "LED Halloween Mask", how would you target?

 

[elodavid]

Great read. You've done a great job. And I think you're going to reach 7 figures as you learn more and scale this. I focus on Ebay for now but these are great ideas. I always thought Google ads were too expensive.

Really valuable information!


Do you have any tips to find US suppliers? Most of them respond with "Yes" or something random to anything you ask.

Or they add US shipping option but they are still sending it from China
