FREE 30 Day Course
--
In this post, we will go over what drop shipping really is, how it works, and if it’s worth it in 2021. If you’re new to my 30 day YouTube course, be sure to start at day one and I’ll meet you back here later! If you’re all caught up, let’s roll!
I think dropshipping gets a bad rap. This is in part because of the slimy people out there who mislead their customers online. You’ve probably heard stories dropshipping nightmares like…
this…
this…
or this…
People will sell the most poorly made and falsely advertised items out there. While I can’t blame you for associating the images above with all dropshippers, I challenge you to get rid of that mentality. Instead, look at the amazing opportunities dropshipping could bring you! And please, if you’re going to do this side hustle, don’t be like the guys above! Do it with some ethics and morals. I promise it’ll make you way more money in the long run this way.
Before dropshipping was a mainstream internet side hustle, it was hard to sell stuff online. 10 years ago, at the age of 21, I was starting my first e-commerce store. Although dropshipping existed back then, it wasn’t as popular and there weren’t as many resources on how to do it as there are today. So, since I wanted to create an online clothing shop, here is what my steps looked like…
- Create designs
- Purchase bulk inventory for each design
- Sell the product
- Store the product for the next 10 years because I bought too much (oops)
