[HELP] Lost $200 With 0 Sales In Dropshipping

Dear... Sorry to hear that, but seems you jumped in this without any basic plan or projecting your steps. At first, you should have some basic knowledge then run the Business or project.

In general, $200 is not a much investment but could be effective if you have the right niche research, product research, some basic SEO, landing page customization/optimization, and the whole web page (if it's a general store). Dropshiping it's not so simple these days, sometimes you could have a bit of luck, but sometimes you could throw a lot of money into testing.

FB Pixel is also a very important part, where you should "feed" with traffic data and reuse that. The basic SEO should be done and optimized before starting any ads or promotions.

I could suggest using IG, Pinterest for some free traffic. But again if someone intent to buy from you it should have a positive impression at first glance. That included the points above (branding, design, website and pages optimization, mobile-friendly,).


In the end, I highly recommend watching some tutorials and free courses (do not go straight for paid ones). Maybe you will need a few some for the Dropshipping process and another one for FB ads or Social Media promotions.

I'm not sure what any of us could help you.

In my opinion Influencer Marketing is kind of the same like Native Advertising because some sources can work really well and some can be absolutely terrible. The money that you need possibly invest can be huge because there's no guarantee that we find a good source after X amount of tests. With experience in that area we might spot the golden nuggets earlier but again that needs experience and testing. I myself didn't touched on those yet, but I am using Google Ads for example. Influencer marketing and pretty much every other advertising method works great when we have an ecommerce brand, because we don't need so high ROAS upfront. So with long-term game there's a lot more room for advertising budget to play with. Just my 2cents.

You should be getting more with paid ads.
My ADVISE, Take 10 days to study all you can on YouTube, Newsletters of gurus in Drop shipping and doing research yourself.
$200 is not much, but you should get way more traffic than you indicate above

ecom requires a LOT of capital (like a lot of paid traffic methods actually)
if you're on a low budget, start with affiliate marketing, make money, save that money, then invest into ecom.
