Are there many benefits to using shopify over the free woocommerce?

>>1810298
shopify has better apps/themes, plus it has Oberlo which does half your work

I work 7 days a week ~8-5.

Is this something I could do in my spare time after work (usually ~6pm) or do you have to go all in to make it worth it?

Also, why not use Amazon or Ebay? Is the profit so small that the fees eat it up?

>>1810333
I started on a friday night around 8pm, by Sunday I was making sales. The initial setup the more effort you put in the better, but after that you really just need an hour a week

Shopify looks more professional and I've heard of bad experiences with Amazon

>>1810291
Gonna try it

Can someone give me pointers on this I have always wanted to do it but I am not sure how to.

Do you buy products from America or China?

>>1810382
Buy from aliexpress, which is Chinese people. Enter in the address of your customer. That's it.

>>1810387
And when you sell the product you state is shipped from China?
You know it can take up to a month to arrive from China right!

bumping for interest

>>1810468
I also want to know the details, I take all the advice I get from this site with a hint of salt like meme coins and what not, I know whoever is pushing the latest meme coin is the last one that got stuck on the last dump or a new fag trying to pump his own stack either way is a pyramid scheme.

But this drop shipping thing looks legit of you can push a thousand Chinese crap a month you might make a buck, with Trump threatening to tax products so red necks can compete with their moon shine I don't know how long the gravy train can last

>>1810336
What do you sell? How did you marker your page? Please elaborate.

i can't get to this link >goo gl/xOV98x, i keep getting goo goo dolls for my search results.

I keep seeing all those threads yet im yet to see how one actually makes money.

What more do I need on my website's sales section than a shopping cart and checkout?

Just considering to use CMS modules (cart, checkout and paypal) instead of diving into prestashop since my CMS is releasing an integrated e-commerce solution in a year

Do I really have to pay $30 a month for Shopify or can I run it through the website I already have set up?

looooolllll so much dunklefonkersz. i honestly like dunklefonkers

Google the basics of dropshipping to understand how it works. Yes, money can be made with the right niche. You won't become a millionaire overnight. Like any e-commerce business, it takes a massive amount of work and failure to make money.

>>1811866
Im yet to see anyone making money and explaining step by step (to confirm it wasn't luck) how.

>>1811879
vouch for this discord.
Frosty is a god and Grim is a cuck

>>1811813
If you're smart enough to create your own, do it. But as I've said earlier Oberlo+Shopify = easy wins.

>>1810598
>>1810728
Marketing:
Facebook ads and instagram, sending free products to instagram influencers

>>1810291
Thoughts on JohhnyFD? I can't decide if he's genuine or not. Writes some decent motivation blog posts, but also shills pretty hardcore for his friend Anton Kraly's dropshipping course. Which costs something like $950 or some ridiculous amount.

I've decided to manually add products to my own website and use paypal buttons
But I can't choose shipping by weight?

Some products are just 10-30 grams a piece and having average shipping price for everything will drive customers away. At the same time I can't afford free shipping for every order!

>>1812093
Grim is the King Of The Jews. Frosty is just an edgy faggot with no real power.

Hosting your VPS on DigitalOcean. Their cheapest plan is $5/month and gives 1TB bandwidth, which is more than enough. Domain from namecheap is like $10.89. Install Wordpress, and woocommerce is free. Free SSL cert from Let's Encrypt.

This is the cheapest way to do it from scratch I think, unless you want to host everything yourself.

It's when you need to work alone, tell your clients to wait 3 months, pay to advertise, create a shitty website and then think you will get rich with that bullshit.

Im making a store to connect to my blog. the blog makes 10k a month in affiliate sales and google ad sense. if i can crank up 10k profit from this drop ship store then ive doubled my income from 1week of hard work.

I cannot continue for now. I don't even make enough to pay off this stupid negative balance. Fucking bi-weekly jobs.

>>1816764

Use make X great again.

Like "makedildosgreatagain.com", I would totally buy from this website.

So I've probably sent around $300 and still no one has bought anything. I think the problem is because my site is in English and they can only understand Chinese. Did you guys pay for translation or just use Google app?

>>1817394
really? whats bad about selling over amazon? Is the idea to have a good seo website of your own so you can push new products easier than if every product has to be a hit on amazons system?

How much trouble would someone get in if they were to list knockoff/counterfeit items in his or her shop? What if they never referred to the items by their official brand name?

>>1817610
p.s. I accidentally ordered a year of VPS service from Namecheap for $9.88 because I didn't realize Shopify hosted its own shit. What should I use it for? I will set up my email on it but any other ideas?

Wow, these threads have really gone downhill. I was expecting to get in here and see a bunch of good info and tips. But it's just a bunch of cucks saying how dropshipping doesn't work. My store did $360 in sales today alone. I've been averaging $1k per week for the last few weeks. It's not a scam, you guys just suck. This is actually my first time on /biz/ in a while. Get the hell off 4chan and actually go do research about e-commerce and internet marketing.

I'll give a quick pointer; Facebook ads are pretty shit in my experience. Expensive and hard to get a profitable campaign going. I've been marketing mostly with Instagram shoutouts. Very recently I started getting into SEO, and the idea is that people will just constantly find my store on Google and buy from it. Hopefully in a few months when my site starts getting ranked, I'll be making a lot more money with a lot less effort.

I'm a 22 year old who went to art school. No business experience at all. And I've made enough money now that I'm going on a trip next month to Spain, Italy, and France, and I'll probably make more money than I spend while I'm there.

Oh, I also love roleplaying, so good, isn't?

Shopify's official dropshipping guide really recommends you set up as an LLC. How many people here have done that ? IF so did you do it before or after you launched your site?

Hey guys I have a question to ask.
So here's the deal. I want to start accepting credit and debit cards as a payment method in my store, to increase traffic, sales etc. And shopify allows you to easily integrate them if you are from the US. The problem is that I'm an eurofag. And currently as far as I know my only options are 3rd party sites like 2Checkout, Paymill and Checkout. But these sites require you to have a legally registered firm and a bunch of other legal requirements. Obviously as a dropshipper, fairly new as well, I don't meet these criterias since i haven't even registered a firm or anything (living in a 3rd maybe 2nd world country and avoiding paying taxes and some other really expensive monthly expenditures is not only really easy if you are a small online business but also necessary) So my question is how do I go around these legal requirements since I know that most of the dropshippers outside of the US don't have a registered firm but do accept debit/credit cards. So the must be some way to do this.

>>1812567
The more I read this thread the more I am convinced is nothing but shilling

so you are the cuck that make good looking people posting on instagram rich

also you must spend a shit ton on shotouts, most people don't pay attention to that, few click the link, and next to none will buy anything.

>>1818545
What the hell are you even talking about? I pay on average about $50 to do a shout out advertising my product on pages that have 200k-300k followers. With a good product image and a well planned shoutout, I start seeing sales immediately after posting the ad. That's all there is to it. Scaling up to making thousands in a day is hard, but literally anybody with two brain cells should be able to set up a store that can make them a few hundred every week. But honestly, believe what you want.

If anyone else is reading this and is interesting in dropshipping, just get off 4chan and go do research. If you have Facebook, join a bunch of e-commerce/Shopify Facebook groups. You'll see that there are real people in those groups making money and always posting tips and strategies. Aside from that, literally just search through Google/YouTube and there's a lot of good info out there. I'm not making a super crazy amount of money, but I am making a few thousand every month, completely online.

>$24 avg order value

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Drop-shipping isn't a meme. It isn't "here's a website with products buy it" It's work. There is marketing to it. There is being a small business shill. There are a ton of people and businesses who need cheap shit for a one time thing. Stay motivated, put the work in, reap the rewards of your work.

>>1819190
What if I have a very specific product that is more of a novelty than anything? I don't want to give away what I'm selling, but it's in the same ball park as lava lamps and plasma balls.

i bet 95% of those dropshipping "hustlers" are LARP'ers

>>1819069
i would feel paying 50$ to some idiot just to get a short lived traffic peak and no sales

i want to be the idiot getting paid 50$ for a single instagram post

>>1819244

Then put the work in and make it sell. think of it like this, what's the difference between brand name make-up and drug store make-up? who gives a fuck, about the quality difference. as long as the drug store make up sells, then you have nothing to care about.

so if you want to sell lava lamps then sell it. lava lamps at big box stores aren't your compeition. your compeition is selling your fucking product so you can put food on your table.

>>1819623
sell it = have a ton of money to dump on ads

>>1819671


it takes money to make money. but it's about using your money for ads effictively. dont just dump 1,000 into ads because you don't know what you are doing. it's your, be smart with it but be ready to lose before you get it right.
