DropShipping problemo! :(

Yes aliexpress is making millions, because people buy from there straight. I understand the current fundamentals, but the fundamentals are changing and that can by seen in my country.
They buy the staff directly from the cheapest vendors, not the highest. Regular dropshippers, shopify and similar they don't going to last. Those last of course, if they have product what can't by found in the aliexpress or ebay.

Ebay method was i bought from other place for cheaper and that i just sent forward to the buyer. Simple dropshipping method, but i don't see future in this. That's the point

You do realize that aliexpress sellers charge also 100% or more profit than the actual cost of items?

Aliexpress sellers in most part aren't even actual suppliers, they just buy from the suppliers who sell the items in thousands of quantities just so they can resell them to you for double the price.

There is nothing wrong charging 100% profit for the products. You clearly have never done any marketing so its impossible to maintain something decent that you can call as "online business" when your planned profits are just 0.5 to 5 %

The 5 % wont even cover your marketing cost

And if you plan to have a local site for your local country and prices then you can forget this idea. Since the prices are already too low then nobody from your country buys products from where you could generate affiliate fees - most of this offers come from first world and the vendors have actually calculated the affiliate price into the product cost.

There is no reasonable way to start selling cheap products like that, perhaps only if you contact the vendors one by one and so forth to setup agreements and paperwork which will be a logistical nightmare and take ages and takes money.

So you can forget the idea or just start normal dropshipping to western countries like everyone else is doing.

yea, this is I miss out , inside Aliexpress the store standard u search one item will have many stores selling the same stuffs but in different price
You remind me , yup they also take from supplier their own factory sources and resell there , just like Amazon, unless you prefer Amazon own products are their own products again
their parts also from china supplier etc.

Now a days most stuffs we using are from China. even big USA companies like Apple u see their parts inside also from China.
I remember see one youtube video, this dude go senzhen if I got the name right whereby there is the biggest electronic parts state .
he go scout the parts one by one and make an iphone himself in fact.
Some tasks need some machine to do it , he also go to the store there seek the china folks service

May Lord Kek have mercy on you! What the fork are you doing? This is not how dropshipping works.
 
Dang. Darn it.

Well, you may pay for a VA to help you circumvent your sorrows.

Cheers.
 
If you do an affiliate site you arn't limited to any particular country but you could target a specific country. The advantage is you don't have to worry about shipping and shipping times. If you do drop shipping world wide the shipping times for different countries are very different as are shipping fees. Drop shipping though can give you much more money per sale, at least compared to the very small commission amazon offers (the big commissions are in smaller affiliate programs which are more targeted at specific markets).
 
You thought you were an affiliate... You need to price your stuff higher, the margin between when you sell it for and what you buy it for is your profit.

yeah i know what is dropshipping. i have sold in Ebay 3000€ of staff and i got good money from that.
The problem is just that, i thought that there is some commission thing, where i just insert products and i would get the commission that way.

I think every person who are doing dropshipping would have to understand that what people are doing, it's not going to stay long. People are figuring out, that people are scamming them.
Like i said, in my country. EVERYBODY knows already, that webstores are scamming them. this topic has been talked in local news for many years and people are buying the staff in local stores or straight from the Aliexpress or Ebay.

as a result, this sales method will not work, especially in my country and this same thing is coming to each country too.

What you have is a dropshipping store. Not an affiliate store.
If you are not interested to buy products yourself then you can hire a web developer to transform your dropshipping store to affiliate store

This dropshipping thing don't work in my country, because people will buy the staff straight from the Ali, Ebay or Wish already. So it's almost impossible to get buyers this way.

You see this in different perspective, dropshipping game is to show the product to the right audience meaning: everybody on social media don't want to buy anything right ? They just surfing around to see whatsup with people they follow. Kevin is a street basketballer he plays with his fellow friends everyday, he follows NBA,watches the games, loves Lebron. He sees an advertisment on facebook or whatnot that this X brand promotes some kind of Knee sleeve support that helps you jump 2 inches higher than you actually can.He clicks it views the website looking legit, reads description, pays for the product and waits for it.He won't bother to look around where is the cheapest price because he didn't even look to buy something in the first place.It's you that will market the passion/problem solving product in such a way to an audience that will sell the product.

What you are looking for is to make an affiliate web. For that in woocommerce you can use the free version of Content Egg plugin. You also have to register to Admitad to get affiliate $ from Aliexpress . You can also add other things in your webpage like selling digital items from other affiliate programs such as courses or softwares etc (they pay much more!). I recommend you also register in facebook affiliate groups and check youtube and never ever ever buy any course they sell ( they pretend to help you and ibsted they sell to you hahahah) everything is the web for free if you take your time to search a little.
