Depends how well your business goes but for you at the moment I wouldn't worry too much because if I am honest with you, I don't think you will score big with the concept you have now which is ok as it's all part of the learning process.
.this is what is it to have a real business. One day you realize scalability has a cost and not everything scales. The mentality that was sold for a while "Grats you made 1$, replicate it 10 times to get 10$" doesn't exist. So is the passive income. There is never passive income, you always end up working for it. Yes you made money when you slept selling stuff, the next day you have to pack, ship, answer question/complais, improve, handle marketing etc.Depends how well your business goes but for you at the moment I wouldn't worry too much because if I am honest with you, I don't think you will score big with the concept you have now which is ok as it's all part of the learning process.
I am also testing shopify at the moment and it's a shitload more work then i expected for my purpose, I also want to offer multiple payment gateways like bitcoin and worldwide creditcard and you can all register them without problems but they all limited, even my bitcoin payment is limited until i send them my ID and a VAT number
This is also the reason I believe many many dropshipping businesses are failing within a few months, people that sell software like oberlo, shopify etc make it looks like it's easy but once you want to get serious with it a LOT more comes to play, a LOT of registering, coding, marketing etc that combined with already sloppy design and no eye for creativity makes people fail hard.
People that promote dropshipping tell it's easy but if you actually want to make a living out of it it's hard work! Even more than a steady job!
I c ouldn't have said it better myself! And if you dropshipping it doesn't become easier unless you have a item that no1 has, cumming 10 times in 60 seconds stimulator or something crazy
I partially disagree with you.
(yes i said it!)

If you just start out (most of us start almost broke), already spend money on software, domain and ads and you had zero ROI, then split testing 10 more ads is shitty advice! If you got a bigger budget then yeah, good advice but most of us start broke because most people that have money live their lives and most of them have never heard of a forum like BHW or IM because they actually got a life, wife, kids, a job
It will surprise you, as it did me recently that most people have basic computer/internet knowledge. Checking their taxes, email and bank account and that's it for most people
If you got a small budget or no budget, there is no such thing, and let me repeat that, no such thing as a quick method.
And some people gonna hate me for it, but 9 out of 10 guides, tutorials, e-docs, below, let's say a $100,- that has a title like "$100,- a day" or even "50,- a day" is all bullshit!
I know because I bought a couple orf 2 down the way.
Yes! You can make $50,- to a $100,-+ a day,
"Wait what? Didn't you just say it was bullshit?"
Yes! Those titles are bullshit! There is no quick way but if you invest time and energy you can get somewhere!
Just because you don't got a lot of money to invest doesn't mean you can't reach your goal, it will just take longer!
Ok, keep in mind, I am pretty much straight forward usually but I don't mean it in a bad way
As i already said, the url, there are actually people and I am one of them, if I see "yourname.myshopify.com" I don't even bother to look what you got, for me, with a domain url like that looks unprofessional.
Which brings me to "yourname" it's pretty long already and adding the shopify extension, it's too long man! Imagine I thought your shop was great and a friend ask me, where did you get that? I would need to tell him, "Yeah, from yourverylongname.myshopify.com" just doesn't roll well on the tongue.
Also, you say your niche is GOT and yet I see stuff from batman, harry potter, grand theft auto, star wars lol, most of it are necklaces and keychains so either shift your niche to that or stick with GOT.
Your homepage meta states: Free game of thrones products.. but when I check your items some have prices on them and others say $0,00,- this is a typical noob mistake and seen many do it and having the same problems as you. It's unclear for customers what is going on and they will most likely assume that the website is broken or under construction/testing phase. Also these green sale images are on top of the "xx% off" tags so you can't read what they say.
The "about us" and "shipping info" could use some more words and in better English as it's full or grammar mistakes (mine on the forum also but on forum I never check if it's correct) there is no contact page whatsoever, you should add a Faq page and there is not a single icon linking to any social media page you own.
Last week there was a guy here that made exactly the same mistake as you, offering "free" stuff but like your website, you have to pay for shipment, people don't like that shit. He also had barely any info on his webpage, no social media linking, few items and spend almost $100,- in fb ads and zero conversions.
Now as I sorta ripped you a new one I will give you some tips which you should carry out before spending one more dollar on advertising.
Tip 1: I don't know if you already bought a domain but if you didn't go get one at godaddy.com for a dollar and link your shopify to that domain so you won't see the amateur "myshopify.com" anymore (which means, also remove the "powered by shopify in your footer") and if you already own a domain, great, same advice.
Tip 2: Choose what you want, you gonna stick with necklaces and key chains from different brands or you sticking with GOT? Choose one and add a SHITLOAD more items, dropshipping is already over saturated, you can't compete with the big boys with just 30 items.
Tip 3: Add more information to your website, so a Faq, more info in the "about' & "shipping order"section, also make a disclaimer which you will certainly need with dropshipping.
Tip 4: This is 2017 bro, social media is key to success, you need a FB, IG, Twitter, Pinterest and all that kind of crap to keep up with your competition, also link em to your website and vice versa man, the more back links your site got, the better.
Tip 5: Get mass planner, join groups in your niche, if the group has non stop spam of people promoting their GOT stuff, leave. Otherwise, stick around, don't promote your stuff yet, just like some things, small comments and then you can come with some kind of promotion.
Tip 6: Just cut this whole "free items, paid shipping" bullshit, it won't work! People will get upset as they only read the word free and then get pissed off they have to pay for shipping. You should do it the other way around, price your items and say something like, free shipping worldwide.
That's it for now, it's kinda late here so getting tired. You don't have to follow my advice of course and go with silly advice like "Split test 10 different ads" but that will give you no ROI if you haven't at least followed my tips.
Peace.
It's not about having money for split advertising, have you been paying any attention at all?
Maybe you didn't see the site in his first state
there is no point of generating product if your webshop that is selling the products you advertise for is not finished. Also his fb page has 0 traffic, you can make a 100 split ads but when I click your link and I see you page has 0 traffic, most of the time I'm gone.Yes and In this case it has nothing to do if he split his ads or not
