I QUIT

Well if you keep doing the exact same thing and it's not working. Why not slightly change things instead of doing the exact same thing.

Like if you were trying to get your girlfriend pregnant, but you kept sticking it in her arse, it ain't going to work. But you are very close to making it work just by switching holes. Just that little bit out.

Yes, the dropshipping is getting harder and harder, but it's not necessary to stop. If you do like Mr. and Mrs. everyone who mounts a shop, it will be complicated!

But it is necessary to go beyond, it is necessary to renew your offer by proposing something special. It's up to you to think according to your niche but do not give up!

The way you market. I dont believe facebook ads is the best way. I think there are better way I cant know that because I dont do dropshipping, but if I had to i would try influencers make them promote it / do video reviews of your product ,way cheaper than the freaking facebook ads

or build a site make it rank and promote it as a "review" for your own products that you sell

idk just not a huge fan of facebook ads... Ithink we missed the train on facebook ads generally

Yeah, it seems fb ads are becoming so super annoying , no one wants to click on them :). Unless you can attract them with really good thumbnail/video and your copy is not shajt
 
Personaly, from buyer side, first I check on website store it's delivery time and when I see dropshipping, I think "fck u" and looking for shop that deliver next day.
Even it's more expensive.

Dropshipping model is the trap appeared suddenly in e-commerce and surprised users with 30 days or more delivery time. After hundreds of thousands catched people, many websites warned buyers about this model.
Sure, you can still have clients but people check delivery time so often now, they need it fast and with guarantee in local country, not in China. Also Amazon harmed it a lot.

Also don't listen people who are trying you to stop quit. To not give up. Yes, there are many markets where you cannot give up like affiliate websites, mobile, saas systems, upwork, programming but in my opinion dropshipping is burned thx to youtube gurus and services like shopify.
 
If it doesn’t make any sense to you anymore, this is a wise decision before you drown into deeper frustration. Good Luck and stay healthy.

What should i do next?
Any advice from where to earn my bread and butter?
 
quitting is sometimes the smartest thing you can do.. I hate when people say "never give up..keep trying etc.." There is a line and when it is crossed either radically change or simply get out.

Saturation is THE biggest killer of any business....That's why billions are spent on I.P and brand building...You can be pretty poor in a cornered market and make a lot $$$'s or you can be the very best in a saturated market where you will struggle due to competition.

I am doing dropshipping from last 1 year.
I have listened to almost every GURU out there and have taken paid course of Ecom Elites.
I have two stores , one general and one niche based.
I am getting sales almost daily, but still i am not profitable.
The dropship market is oversaturated now and lot of big players are trying to compete and they can afford to breakeven at frontend.

Never give up dude!! Especially not when you are making sales, you just need to work out what you are missing and what can be improved.

Also, "big players are trying to compete and they can afford to break-even at front-end." Never believe this. Big players only do this for a short time if/when they are trying to squeeze out the competition but its very rare. Generally speaking nobody wants to be in something unless its profitable. If you think like that then you are basically giving up on finding the actual solution - and there will be one.

I'm not in to drop-shipping so I don't know the answer, but it looks like you've got lots of advice in this thread already so please keep trying and you will get there :-)
 
The first thing I would do (as in every other business) is to cut cost. You say you spend most of your money on FB ads. Why don't you stop advertising on FB and wait whether there isn't any residual traffic?
Did you build any organic traffic stream? If not, now would be the time to do that. This only costs your time.
Did you work on loyalty? Ever contacted the people again who already bought through you? Email marketing is very low cost.
Any other area of high cost? Shopify + tons of plugins monthly? Switch to self-hosting and wp-means (Festinger is your friend)

Again, a normal business lesson:
If you barely break even, first get rid of the cost. Then think about new sources of income. If that works, then you can invest again.

"Gurus" knew how to do it when it was easy and there was barely any competition. So now they make less, so they have to make money by teaching others how it's done. I might quit too.

Never fails to amaze me. Some nuggets of wisdom right there.
 
I dont know why you complain dude .... atleast you made some money with Dropshipping..... and have active sales

Myself, I tried dropshipping few times with FB ADS + BING + Google Ads and didnt get any sale....... dont know why....maybe is pure bad luck and God doesnt want me to have succes with Dropship lol ....

Since when I found out about dropshipping, before trying It I succeed in selling everything and I still do ....gettin clients for casinos , sex sites , digital products, services , accounts for SM sites and even clickbank (that was a hard one to do but I did it ) , but never had one sale with dropship....

What I learned from all this ??? Concentrate on sales activity ... if you can sale " Shit " try to focus only on selling shit until you make it profitable..... then start selling "piss" lol :))) . Then automate it and do it again for another stuff.... Always make sure to have 2-3 money sources atleast.....because if you quit one..... you are gone....depression and bad thoughts comes in..... happend to me .... and is hard to come back to what you can do

agree, I prefer amazon over any website.
 
Never quit up, seeing competition. always try to work hard, if there is competition means there is profit. So just work it out.
 
Quit already then.

Easiest industry to generate a six figure income that I have come across if you do your due diligence.

Don't bother doing that though, just quit.

Then post it on FB and IG... Twitter too if you have a following.
 
dropshipping is in the meantime a heavy weight marketplace if you don't invest time and do it right, competition, scam and the fast progress of other competitors is killing it - don't quit mate, i would keep on doing until it grows
