How much my dropshipping store worth?
- Thread starter npaloski
- Start date
When I asked this question, my store was making 1000$ per month.
Now I did some calculation and in 2024 I made $80.000 in sales. Profit is $4000 per month.
This year is slower because whole Trump situation with China, but it still generating good profit.
I decided is better to keep the store instead of buying for the long run. I will keep it a least for another year.

Best month so far. Previously I had few months bellow $11k, but now I managed to hit $14k. There is still 4 days left for this month, so hopefully I will break $15k barrier.
-----------------------------------------------------
So far, this year was little slower compared to last year, but this month shifted everything. I hope I can finish this year with more sales compared to last year, which will mean the store is still growing and full potential is not fulfilled yet.
It's fair to mention that US dollar actually worth less now compared to last year. Also I got hit with Trump tarifs, so I lost few percentage on profit margins too. So at the end, I think earning will be the same like last year if I stay in 6%-7% of sales increase. If I manage to increase that to at least 10% more, earnings will be even better compared to last year.
Very excited what feature will bring. Not selling the store was a right call so far.

if the stores grow organic why sell it instead of using the profit ? You can grow it big from what i see and is apreciating in value so that is definitely good ROI

That's cool, would u give me some information about getting wholesaler from china to add in Shopify store ?
I tested various suppliers from Alibaba. So far, I worked with three. I ditched the first one after a year because he was very slow. The other two were much more reliable and I working with them for over a 2 years.
When I opened this topic my store didn't make nowhere near as now. I will keep it for sure and may sold when I feel I can't grow anymore.

Should be valued over 50k USD..
However, at this pace, you'd earn it in around a year. Just keep it and keep growing it
If you're making now 4,000$ in profit on avg, and you don't have many costs associated with it (no employees, no warehouse costs, material, nothing..) - I think this has a value of $150,000 - $200,000. Still..
The biggest problem I see with this store is that your only source of sales is SEO. Not diversified enough. You should look into running some FB / Google PPC ads. Get youtube videos runnning / Tik tok running.
You know.. with how Google operates nowadays and how AI is interfering with search, It's a BIG risk to keep hoping that Google search will keep bringing you sales. Anyways, this is great and I hope you can keep growing it even more.
My advice -> diversify if you want to increase its value.

My advice -> diversify if you want to increase its value.Diversity is good suggestion. I already running YouTube videos (mostly shorts). I avoid TikTok because is very GEO based (at least that was in the past, I don't know if now is changed). I'm not USA based, so TikTok will not bring anything on the table.If you're making now 4,000$ in profit on avg, and you don't have many costs associated with it (no employees, no warehouse costs, material, nothing..) - I think this has a value of $150,000 - $200,000.

About FB, Insta or Google ads... I don't like them, they are very saturated. And they will eat good chunk of my profit margin, and I may even lose money. I don't even use them, because as a free marketing method they are basically useless.
So far, organic growth is paying off. Maybe is slow, but If I google my shop, I can find few Reddit post promoting some of my products, and also some forum posts. I'm happy with that.
Another record-breaking month, beating the previous month, which was also record-breaking.
Sales usually increase during this period of the year, but not by much. Last year and the year before, I was doing on average 9-10k, and this year I did 15k for two straight months, and I am expecting in December to hit the same numbers.
This means two things: the shop and inflation are still growing. I plan to increase the prices by 5 or 10 percent after the new year. I still have the original prices since 2021, and I think it's time to increase them. Trump taxes, better hosting.... ate a few percentages from the profit.
EDIT: Forgot to add, this month I see some sales came from Chat GPT, and I have a big increase of direct sales, which tells me that customers started to recommend the products to their friends and family.
I need this
This month, the store celebrates its 4-year anniversary. I checked the numbers, and it has generated $250,000 in sales so far. I never expected to reach this level when I first started, and the store continues to grow every year.
