$100K Dropshipping Story (Long Read)

[Crazycam727]

Wow! Very comprehensive story here, this should inspire those who are skeptic or on the fence about Dropshipping.

It certainly is possible . It’s just that most people quit. I think the business model actually has more hurdles than others. I’ve been banned by G more than 20 times in the past month , so there are always major hurdles but it is worth it

what products do you look for to sell? problem solving or just any product that has a nice big margin on google shopping?

No problem

Great Life Story Mate, could you expand a bit more detail on the 'Marketing Strategy'(google&facebook), especially as you seem to have switched from ads on main traffic to specific influencers on instagram. And what are the profits (net) you experienced using the two methods for your specific product niches? Thanks

we need more people talking about hurdles, potholes and roadblocks and alternative strategies, there is on the whole too much 'candy-floss' chat in the IM world, as everyone is blagging to blog, very few have the gonads or the actual experience to relay reality and lay the map out, with ALL the minefields.

Thanks. There is a lot of information in your posts.

Great post, I also followed Charlie’s course and did exactly what he said. Did you ever ran into policy violations with google? I’m stuck now as my account got suspended for misrepresentation and untrustworthy promotions tried getting answers from google but they won’t provide further information.

Looks like Google is really cracking down on Dropshippers using Google Shopping in the last few weeks. I heard from a lot of perople that their accounts got banned for "misrepresentation and/or untrustworthy promotions". I got an account banned myself because their stupid automated algorythms keep detecting that the product pictures show drug or weapon related stuff when it actually just are some mundane household items like a mop...

Google does not particularly like the shopify + aliexpress dropshipping, if they suspect you are doing that / a variation they will ban you for one of the following reasons: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6150127

Their misrepresentation clause "promotions that represent you or your products in a way that is not accurate, realistic, and truthful" is pretty wide ranging, meaning they can ban you just because they want to.

congrats on your success . But you've actually made $50k-$60k since around 50% 40% +9%) of that earning will go towards tax , national insurance and you also have to pay your accountant £500-600.

I have an LLC in wyoming to minimise that

Your insta video is showing 100k sales? So 100k isn't your profit then? Still have to buy the product and spend on ads?

So this is more about making a turnover of 100k than creating a 100k unless I'm missing half the story.

 

[idbn667]

how you source dropshippers suppliers in alibaba can you explain this please

Never said the $100k was profit.

Yes I do custom POD. But I do not use shopify, as I explained in an earlier post using api plugins means you pay through the nose for product for the convenience. Profit wise it is better to sort suppliers direct yourself.

@GringoMonkey is it ok to PM you about POD? I'm a bit lost with how to start with FB ads with POD. with a one-product store doing DS is was easier. But people talk about doing a PPE campaign with POD to start with. The problem is I have different products and it's for the pet niche but it is customization
