what do you mean with specialize? Choosing a nice product none is aware?

Specialize in the niche that your product is, either knowing the model of potential buyers, having a good landing page (if you are going to sell from your website), knowing what types of ads can work for your buyer model potential, etc. It is not something from one day to the next, but if the construction process is good, I assure you that you will get good sales.

don't you have competition? Google doesn't rank random shops easly

Yes, there is competition, but designing is much easier now thanks to AI. You got my point, right?

While dropshipping isn't necessarily dead, it has become increasingly challenging to succeed in this space. The market has become saturated with dropshipping stores, leading to intense competition and lower profit margins.

Dropshipping is as dead as you want it to be. Just like anything else really.

That’s like saying restaurants are dead, there’s a bunch of them however you just have to be better.
It’s not dead it’s attention based focus on attention you can’t sell without attention

Drop-shipping is not dead. It's a whole business model that existed even before the Internet era.

However, as with every other business model - you have to adapt to the new waves of marketing/innovation. If you think that drop-shipping is the easiest way to make money, then unfortunately, you won't be able to make it. Drop-shipping is as serious a business model as any other out there. It requires a lot of work, research, adaptation, etc.

Aside from that, if you have decided to go this route - I wish you all the best on your journey.

is dropshipping dead? i want to start a new dropshipping store selling distressed ski masks because its trendy rn, but alot of people are telling me that dropshipping is dead and that i should do something else. what should i do

I don't understand why anyone would say dropshipping is dead, its thesame as any other ecommerce business, the only difference is that its just way to source for product, and get them delivered without you actually doing the job yourself. If dropshipping is dead, then all ecommerce businesses are all dead.

No, dropshipping is not dead in 2023. It remains a viable business model for entrepreneurs worldwide. With the right strategies and platforms like DoFeeds, which offers custom drop-shipper/supplier integration services, you can still succeed in the dropshipping industry. Embrace the latest trends, focus on customer satisfaction, and leverage efficient supply chains to thrive in this competitive market.

Oh, look. What a coincidence.

dropshipping is not dead and is not going to die anytime soon, what changes is just the way it is executed. and it is still a very difficult market and requires a lot of concentration and effort to succeed.

haha exactly. Those who think negatively i guess their objective is to hope lesser people will not try dropshipping anymore.

Don't think it is dead. Just need to find the right product and advertising. use tiktok.

 

[duane2001]

Dropshipping is never dead. As long as people keep buy online , thats mean dropship still alive

 

[KNTCP2]

Dropshipping has paid the bills for the last 3 years - my other businesses are pure profit.

[Andrew Leen]

dropship,POD,aff never die
it's just more difficult with ad traffic sources, more expensive so people need to optimize more

 

[Nyprox]

It is not, but it is way harder to start a successful business.

 

[Alisa1998]

Drop shipping is booming actually.

 

[MrStepan]

No, the business model of dropshipping will never be dead. Are more people doing it? Yes, but as before, most of them are just looking for a quick buck and give up fast.
