Is Dropshipping still a good thing?

Know someone who does it
Because so many people are talking about it on social media, its gotten pretty competitive.
but if you have a very specific niche and you know a lot about that niche, its not as bad appr
 
The main problem with DS is the long shipping time
 
might be good if you know what you are doing, if you have some good money to test, if you have patience to see how 1k goes away because all ads you were trash and so on
if you don't have patience to learn it or money to waste trying to learn it , then I won't pick ds

thank you man.
 
Dropshipping is both full of opportunities and competition. If you've got a unique niche, patience, and some cash to invest in learning and making mistakes, it could be a good source of income.
 
Hi, maybe you can recommend some good platforms for finding B2B Retailers for dropshipping? I will be grateful for everyone's help.
 
it's a good way to introduce yourself to ecom, what type of ds are you going to do, paid or organic?
 
Depends on how you do it. It's saturated like every other field, but that doesn't mean you can't make a profit there. However, as I said, you need to do it the right way.

Sell the right products, have the most perfect website, optimize your ads, bring the customer support to the next level, build your brand presence like no other.
 
No, it's an ultra bad Chinese factory level experience that pays $1 a day type of stuff.
Sample alternatives that can be started with nothing but relationships:

Drop-servicing / bending the fabrics of drop-shipping

You can do drop-servicing, but that still wouldn't be anything good as it would require to deal with customers - non-automated business - similar to a job.

Then you can think of twisting it, twisting, twisting it... get like 100 products, order them, and dispatch them from your local place. And that'd require a mercenary to pack all of it. I don't know a thing about it. :p

You can start a local store and tell people to come to your house once you get all those goods from Chinese at a nice discount.
Maybe fool them with replicas. Just don't forget to change your location and be in random spots each time. ;)
You'll burn in hell on earth for that, but, money is so good. :D

See, that's why money is not a good goal. It makes you trick yourself and people, and then the whole reality, then you're like those "nike dudes' who sell piece of fabric worth $5 for $190.

All in all, I think dropshipping for the most part would require heavy automation by informatics, AWS, GCloud and at one point it would be like API connections between providers of stuff and ads systems / organic traffic collection.

If you automate analytics, research of good products and you have criteria beforehand for that, you'd be killing it with proper content distribution strategy on social media. Although I'd add some manual reviews for the stuff found automatically.

One idea is to teach people how to build vehicles and find parts to complete full vehicles. I came up with a backpack-size car for adults. A hard vision, but with practice, you'll be able to visualize houses built off sand and put that into real world. Train non-linear thinking.

I believe you can sell .apk files with it as well and do P2P exchanges on devices of people.

It would remove dependency on GPlay and iOS stores.

As I've heard so many feedback on it through social media or any platform. dropshipping is still progressive business with low investment and competitive high profit. Personally I don't have experience of it but I'm going to try it quick real soon.
 
Yeah it still works, but not me go to business model. Profit margin is too thin.
 
what platforms are the best to start with a small capital? please recommend thank you
 
Although it is still suitable for early-stage entrepreneurs, the competition is too fierce.
