Hey blackhat family
Is Shopify still the best side hustle to start in 2026

It's not a dead niche but there is more potential with replica

Dropshipping still works but not as demanding as it is some years back.

 

[Erick Myers]

Yes, Dropshipping still working but you need to select best quality product.

It's more profitable to create a course about dropshitting and start selling for people who still believe on it in the traditional way, like in 2017

Shopify isn’t dead, but it’s not easy money anymore. It only works in 2026 if you bring traffic, branding, or a real angle...not copy-paste stores

 

[dajkatal]

It’s not how it used to be. You need to build a real brand, a real “business”. You can’t just find a trending product anymore and try to ride it. There’s thousands of others waiting for the same opportunity

 

[lucas999]

Yep still work 100% all you need to found High and exlusive quality products

 

[Mathewss]

Shopify can still be a strong side hustle in 2026 if you focus on niche products, excellent customer experience, and smart marketing.

As long as you prioritize high product quality, dropshipping is still a highly effective strategy.

Yeah, Shopify can still work in 2026, but it’s not the easy win it used to be. It makes sense if you’re willing to treat it like a real business and put time into products, branding, and marketing. For some people it’s a good side hustle, for others there may be better options depending on skills and effort.

It is possible, but now it has become significantly more challenging, with intense competition where one must contend with established players who have been in the market for many years and who will simply outbid you.

If you can find a single unique product with a good marketing twist then it's still viable.
Also, if you're gonna rely on Chinese suppliers be ready for them to eventually skip you and start selling the product themselves it's inevitable.

The good old Ali Express catalogue copy pasting with media buying won't work.

position yourself like a brand and not look scammy. follow some brands that you like and see what they are doing differently.
