Dropshipping - still worth it in 2021?

[theshark99]

Is it worth it to start a dropshipping store?

 

[jemzozole]

Creating your own product will be way more profitable.

 

[Yrior]

Yes

 

[TheVigilante]

It will always work dude one always wants to work as a middleman

 

[jalo39]

I think yes, you need to try lots of products before you find the right one.

 

[wecreative]

Start with your own products will be more beneficial and profitable.

 

[AquaticGamer]

If you market it right yes.

 

[Telondian]

There are a whole ton of sites...

 

[Starblazer]

It's more competitive now but you can be successful if you find the right product. There are many guides to choose the right product based on trends, geo, demographics etc.

 

[macdonjo3]

Very difficult. Anyone who said yes probably hasn't done it.

 

[GenesisOne]

Yes it does. I make sales everyday.

 

[polecat]

Yes but a lot harder than in the past normally.

Dropshipping is the business model. Don't think of drop shipping simply as ordering something from Ali and selling it for a higher price. There are so many local manufacturers (who got really decent products) who are willing to drop ship for you. It's always worth it. Just do your research.

Can you suggest some local manufacturers?

Or, who's trying to sell you courses.

These days you will have to find a product with huge margins if you rely on fb ads for traffic. It's getting quite expensive unless I'm doing something wrong.

i tried dropshipping from china to us in 2019 before the pandemic and got some sales before fb banned my account for selling sexual things (i believe it was just a bottle opener lol)
right now it is doable but more complicated. the biggest problem for me is the fb. they don't like we make money, they just want make their own money.

Haven’t done dropshipping in a while. But probably the first thing I would look into is actually some local suppliers on Etsy who got low sales due to bad marketing and etc. Contact them with an offer. And see if they are willing to work with you.

At least that’s the approach I would take in 2021. Haven’t tested it though, so don’t rely on my words lol

Thanks, will try that.
