how do i begin dropshipping

Sounds like something id be interested in!

You can start droppshipping through shopify. It allows you to easily import products through an app called OBERLO from aliexpress. The best thing about droppshipping is that you do not need to purchase the products ahead of time. Aliexexpress has tons of products that they sell for wholesale prices so you would be able to boost the price up and charge whatever you would like.

Just bear in mind with Shopify you have costs before you start, think of your profit margins.
Worth looking into WooCommerce also

Technology (Shopify, Oberlo, Aliexpress) can be setup pretty easily. Focus on real stuff -

1. Find a niche/product.
2. Research on audience you would buy this product.
3. Validate it by testing the product at low marketing cost. (Any marketing channel is okay, I use fb ads)
4. Scale it once point 3rd is validated.
