It's not even close to start dropshipping as you are forgetting a lot of things you will be dealing with.

Read my thread for some basic tips.

Starting with a $100 is possible however you would have to be lucky or willing to invest a lot of time in the beginning. I would suggest for the long run setup a wordpress website, load up some popular products (use a plugin like AliDropship or something to make it easier to import products from Aliexpress), offer free shipping and also setup an Instagram, facebook and twitter.

Then setup these social media accounts to match your business (tip for DP use a attractive female face, works everytime) you will get a lot more attention (trust me).

Convert your Instagram into a business page (to see analytics and etc)
I usually use Instagram as my main social media/traffic driver, so I am going more depth into Instagram but Twitter, FB, Pinterest are all great too!
Get SOCTOP(best thing I ever got for free) which will promote your Instagram 24/7 and also add some automation for you. Start posting on Instagram at least 3 to 4 times a day for the first few weeks , use plenty of relevant hashtags. Now browse these hashtags for people who would buy your things (self judge) tip, usually they don't have a large following, look active on Instagram and etc. Converse with them and see if they are interested in your items for discounted pricing. You should get a few sales this way and then INVEST into paid advertising and etc.
Also another great way to get sales is just try offline promotions too!, show your friends, neighbours and etc, theres surely at least one potential sale at least.

Also try partner with influencers for commission based rewards for them. So you don't have to spend money out of your pocket.
 
100$ its not enough, I am for 3 months and spent 300$ with 0 sales.(fb ads, shopify fee, others)

so yeah, take me as an example of NOT "100$ and you can rull the world" mentality
 
Yes you can actually START with only $100 BUT you'll have to invest more TIME since you don't have the capital.

Money simply allows you to operate with more speed.

Now... if you can muster up an additional hundred bucks you can easily get started dropshipping with a supplier like Bangalla
for example...

They're a reputable supplier & they occupy a popular niche (Organic & Natural foods)

By the way, don't let the word Popular deter you. Thats actually what you want.

You never want to try to sell products that nobody wants or where theres no EXISTING demand.

Another thing about Bangalla (no affiliation) is that they'll even give you a Webstore with your Membership. Personally I ALWAYS recommend
avoiding cookie cutter or turnkey websites BUT in your case it'll work just fine for now and you can always build out a new custom
eStore once you start to earn some regular profits.

I'd suggest several effective FREE methods to promote your new eStore.

Including but definitely not limited to::

- SEO (takes time but you can learn it if you apply yourself).

- Social Media (Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram & Twitter)

-Blogging (using Bangalla as an example) .... write an article about the Health benefits of Quinoa. In your article link back to a Quinoa
Product on your eStore. Remember Google LOVES content.

If you can create some really good content you can also do blog outreach to affinity blogs ie., health, cooking, green living etc...)

-Videos (Youtube is HUGE and there are other video sites you can also distribute your video(s) to as well)

Create your own WOA (Web of Activity). My catchphrase ;)

Don't give up. Be resourceful. Be creative.

You can do it!
