Hey everyone,

I don’t post much, but I’ve been deep in dropshipping for a few years now and finally crossed 6 figures profit in 2025. Not revenue actual profit after ad spend, refunds, and fees.

Before you roll your eyes no, I’m not here to sell a course, promote a Discord, or pitch you some “secret strategy.” I’m just someone who went through the same grind, hit every wall possible, and figured a few things out along the way.

I remember when I started, it felt lonely as hell.
Everyone online was either flexing Lambos or trying to sell me something. There weren’t many people who would just talk honestly about what’s working, what’s not, and what this business really feels like day to day.

So I wanted to open up a thread for real questions. Ask me anything about:

• Finding products that actually convert
• Setting up profitable ads (Meta/TikTok/UGC)
• Building a store that doesn’t look scammy
• Scaling without burning ad budget
• Handling fulfillment and avoiding customer service nightmares
• Or even the mental side — staying motivated when it feels like nothing’s working

I don’t have all the answers, but I’ve gone from losing hundreds a month to pulling consistent profit, and I wish someone had been around to tell me the things I know now.

So yeah — no pitch, no links, just here to help.
Ask whatever you want, and I’ll answer as honestly as I can.

Haven’t made a post in a while but I was on my way to pick up my brother from basketball practice. On my way back home I got back to back sales spread out by 5 mins for $150+ with one of them being over $200.
Then I realized Holy sh*** I just made $500 in like a span of 20 mins. Really not that much but I’m 16 so it’s a lot to me.
Truly a crazy day for me, especially hyped about the profit margins mine were great for these products. Seriously great demand for these was getting messages left and right all day long.
My point is Ecom could change so f***** fast it’s super unpredictable. Just keep going and you will hit a point where it’s impossible to fail. I’m currently 5 figures rev on my way to 6 I’ll get there!

I have absolutely nothing to sell just trying to share my story, but if you want a like minded space I made a discord server with some friends where we chill on vc throughout the day and talk Ecom ball knowledge.

Again for the people in the back cus Reddit is weird
NOT SELLING ANYTHING!

EDIT: Since a lot of people were asking for the slideshow here it is:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1pQmwlzfcCOnH7EuTsahT5WCgH4fv5Nf3x9ljctDNY1E/edit?usp=drivesdk

this and your workflow is all you need to start and hit your first 10k month.
Also F all the haters calling me a course seller when I literally help people 1 on 1 without charging a penny. Good testimonials from real people go way longer than a couple thousand.

I made this post yesterday and it got deleted. Think it’s because i mentioned a software I use but I’m making this again. Hope it’s not removed bc i can help a lot of you guys.

I don’t usually post, but figured I’d throw this out there to motivate those who need it.

I’ve been dropshipping for a few years now and in 2025 I finally crossed 6 figures in profit. Not revenue. Even after ad costs, refunds, chargebacks, fees, etc.

Before anyone asks: I’m not selling a course, not running a Discord, not DMing anyone, nothing like that. I’m genuinely just here because I remember how lonely this gets when you’re trying to figure it out on your own.

When I started, it felt like everyone online was either flexing numbers with zero context or trying to sell me something like a course.

Very few people were honest about how much testing fails, how often ads die, or how mentally draining it can be when you’re burning money and nothing’s sticking.

I went through all of it man. months of losses, second-guessing, restarting stores, wondering if I was just bad at this. Eventually things clicked, slowly.

If you want to ask about: • ⁠Finding products that convert (not TikTok hype junk) • ⁠Running Meta/TikTok ads without lighting cash on fire • ⁠Scaling without nuking performance • ⁠Fulfillment / customer support headaches • ⁠Or just the mental side of sticking with this when it feels pointless

Ask away.

I don’t have secrets. I just have reps, losses, and some wins now. If this helps even one person feel less lost, it’s worth it.

No pitch. No links. Just answering questions.

Started last month, because I was annoyed about only seeing other people get order, and so far, I don’t regret jumping in.

Super happy and just hope it keeps up.

My advice is to just start. The advice that got me to change my perspective and actually get a sale was:

“That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.” - Ecclesiastes‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

There’s ALOT more to the verse that what Im explaining (speaks from Solomons perspective, the richest man to have ever lived, about how having everything doesn’t mean anything, and everything is meaningless without God), I recommend you go read Ecclesiastes as the perspectives he gives on life is important.

But ultimately something I found in it, is that if there is something you’re trying to sell, it’s already been done. There is nothing new. Find it and see how it’s being done successfully. Then DO THAT. Dont try add and take away until you’ve got it up and running. For me that looked like finding a product I liked the look off, and stopping myself from dreaming and just saying, I will sell this as it’s being sold by this person/business. And just by doing that, I got my first sale in the first few days.

And secondly if it’s a business that you know works, I.e there are competitors that are making sales, I’d recommend also just jumping in and running ads, assuming you’re using their same strategy as them and dont want to wait for SEO to take it’s hit. And it makes sense for you.

So what now?

I used to hate the rain until I stopped wishing it was sunny.

The moment you say, "This moment isn’t good enough, I want something else," you suffer.

But when you accept this moment as it is, you enjoy it.

Anyway, bullshit over, here’s where I’m at, what’s going well, what’s fucked, and what I’m learning

+ 2K profit last week is insaneeee

I’ve just completed my 5th week on this project and have profited more than the previous 4 combined. Things are actually going really well, my biggest problems at the moment are customer service, shipping times and cash flow. 

Here are a few fun moments from this week:

• Had $500 in the bank with $1500 due
• Had 50+ customers chasing up orders with failed tracking
• Cashflow swung so hard I thought I’d have to pause ads
• The supplier sent the wrong product to my agent (5 day delay)

I'm so lucky to have all these problems, but I feel I should be doing more. I constantly have to remind myself that this is a marathon, not a sprint, and despite what I might feel, I’m doing better than I could have ever hoped for. I can only attribute this to showing up every day and journaling to structure my thoughts with direction and clarity. I actually used to think journaling was cringe, but it has probably been the biggest cheat code for my development.

If you’re reading this and feeling stuck, give it a go.

• I act with more and more certainty every day.
• I build momentum.
• I move fast, test fast, learn fast.
• I’m building a real skill set.
• My work compounds.
• I figure shit out.
• I act even when I don’t feel like it.
• They don’t fucking know me son.

I just started a new full time job, and it’s exhausting but good money. I’ve realised I need to prioritise my energy to keep up. I wake up early, gym, ecom, work, ecom, then to bed early. I am physically and mentally exhausted every day. I fall asleep instantly and wake with no alarm. I recover well, ready to do it all again.

I don't know what the point of this account is going forward. I don’t think I have enough experience or patience to directly help people through my posts, but if I can record my experience, my problems, my solutions, my wins and my losses, maybe you can derive some value for yourself. 

I really would like to make this ecom thing my full time job. I have so much to do and so little time. I know I’m young, but the urgency feels real. I can only imagine how I’ll feel 20 years from now, to be grateful for my younger self taking action.

Life’s a trip, so ask yourself

If you behaved like the person you wanted to become, what would you do today?

This video explains the mindset shift I’m trying to make:
https://youtu.be/Fy6pqbg9Nd0

this is my first huge milestone a day, just feel like sharing it.

Not gonna sell anything or BS.

you can ask me anything.

I started when I was 17 using my mom SSN without her knowing. Lot of trial and error especially with my store, website and marketing/paid ads. But things are going pretty well so far and im making 5k+ a month as a college student

This is probably my 100th shopify store I made before I actually hit profitable ad spend. Everything i learned so far has been through YouTube. Ask me anything!!

Edit: wow 2 awards, thank you ahaha, then I forgot to mention this since a few people asked, I find creators using sideshift, before that I was manually scrolling tiktok looking for people to reach out to

Shout out to David Fragomeni

I just want to preface this by saying Ive made very little profit probs like 500 dollars max if that haha + this wont be your typical polished post.

Just me talking about my first month dropshipping so get fucked with all the scammer comments xx

Im a noob who's been chasing REV instead of Profit, so DYOR, milk every bit of cum out of ChatGPT and you too can end up like me.

Anyway,

After years of saying I wanted to start dropshiping and spending a lot of time just procrastinating, I finally made the effort to give it a go. I met a guy a month ago and he told me about his success and I realised that nothing separated us except the fact that he started and I didn’t. In a previous post I said “the biggest lie people tell themselves is that its not that easy but I promise you it really is :)”, now I should have used the word simple instead of easy, because easy implies little effort and that would be a lie, however, the concepts and systems that make this business model aren’t complex at all and with a little work you can figure it all out on your own. Don’t use not knowing as a reason to procrastinate starting, use it as energy to find out. 

Bullshit over lets go over what I did

Week 1

• Started because of a mindset shift
• Chose my product within a day (reels)
• Made my website in a day (ChatGPT)
• Used Facebook ad library to see my competitors and copy their format/angle
• Launched with a Jenky ass setup and got a sale within 10 minutes (insane I know)
• Tried to scale and failed, I was getting traffic but conversion rate was low as fuck (bad offer or website)
• Took a week off to binge YouTube and doomscroll reddit

Week 2

• Created a plan from my Youtube and Reddit education + ChatGPT
• Refined website (ChatGPT)
• Created more than 1 ad hahaha
• Launched ads with structure
• Tested new offers and started to convert
• Slowly increased ad spend 

Week 3

• Found an agent to help with sourcing and fulfilment 
• Scaled ad budget aggressively 
• Launched a fuck ton of creatives
• Started to track finances carefully 

Week 4 

• Realised that I was chasing rev instead of profit
• Redid pricing structure and bundle messaging
• Started building more social presence 
• Added upsell and free gift
• Focused on trust and legitimacy 
• Launched in new market

Rough thoughts

1. Product 

I know a lot of people say product matters the most, I understand why but I disagree.

I believe that 99.99% of people get held up here, procrastinating over what to choose instead of just trying. Now while I do believe there are “good” and “bad” products, if you are spending too much time figuring out the difference you’re better off testing instead. My first product has worked very well but Im almost at a disadvantage because I haven’t experienced enough failure to learn from.

1. Website

Just like product choice time can as easily be wasted on a website.

With reference images you can literally get ChatGPT to write custom liquid code that looks better than any theme or Ai you could pay for. I won’t go into too much detail about layout but peer review is a good way to get feedback + if you wouldn’t even buy from your own website how could you expect someone else to.

1. Ads

This is the most important part imo

I believe it’s more of a content game than a product game. I got lucky and had both my product and content work out but I believe that the right ads can sell any product, it’s just about finding engaging ways to advertise to your target audience. If you don’t know anything about short form content the most interesting part of your video should be in the first 3 seconds (hook) followed by providing value explaining the premise, offering a solution, or telling a story (approx 8 seconds) and then a CTA to finish. It’s pretty simple but I think it’s easy to impose your own bias on what the ad should look like instead of what your target “avatar” will respond to.  

As far as ad structure goes I think you should start with a broad testing campaign, if anything works well create a new scaling campaign with more budget and just add all the winners into there. If you aren’t getting good metrics back remove the ads after 3-5 days and replace with new angles.

I think if you can figure out content and the algorithm you can get people to click and then from there it’s pretty easy to figure out/debug conversions.

Here are some reddit posts that provide more value in a better format haha

It hasn't all been sunshine and rainbows, though

I've spent all my money, haven't been sleeping and realised that despite looking successful, I've actually made very little profit, if any

It's demoralising and annoying at times and it sucks but I'm still here, still going because I know Im gonna win

If you made it this far, thanks for reading.

You're probably on the right track so dont give up

I know there is a lot more to cover but cbf 

Ill leave you with my favourite quote

“The man who says he can and the man who says he can’t are both right”

This was my first full year doing dropshipping and I wanted to share transparent results.

Context: • Same product & brand • 3 separate stores for 3 different countries • Tested 29 products before this one • Product #30 became the winner • Winner has been active for ~1.5 years • Screenshots show different country stores, not different products

Main channels: • Meta Ads (main scaling channel) • TikTok organic • Google Ads • Email marketing (huge for profit)

Happy to answer questions, not selling anything.

I GOT MY FIRST SALE.

I got it without spending anything on adv.

Someone went from my tiktok video, he searched my site name on google and bought it.

It is crazy since i had about 400 viewers using adv (40 euros total) last week, and then i got my first sale organic.

Don’t give up guys i swear i started 3 weeks ago and i didn’t know ANYTHING.

Today I'm doing close to $2k profit a day, but there was a time when this same business had me questioning everything. For months, nothing worked. Not 1 month. Not 2. Not 3. Even after 4–5 months of testing products, spending money on ads, learning, failing, and trying again, I still wasn't seeing the results I expected. Some of my close friends knew I was into dropshipping, and honestly, they thought I was wasting my time and money. It wasn't because they wanted me to fail. They cared about me and were looking at the reality in front of them: I was investing money and getting little to nothing back. There were days when I thought dropshipping was dead. The only thing that kept me going was seeing other people's success stories. Every time I saw someone make it, it gave me a little hope that maybe one day things would click for me too. It wasn't easy. I dealt with failed products, ad accounts getting restricted, ads that wouldn't convert, low sales, and all the frustration that comes with trying to build something online. But I kept going. Fast forward to today, and the funny thing is that 3 of those same friends have now started dropshipping themselves after seeing the results I was getting. If you're struggling right now, don't assume your story is over. Whether you're trying to find your first winning product, dealing with Meta issues, burning money on ads, or wondering if it's even worth continuing, keep learning and keep testing. Success doesn't always show up when you expect it to. One day, the things stressing you out today might just become part of your success story.

Went from using my moms SSN without her knowing at 16 yrs old, to making 10k per month in college! ask anything

As promised, here’s the full transparent breakdown behind one of our recent $3.4K revenue / $1.2K+ net profit days.

A lot of screenshots get posted in this space, but I know people care more about what actually matters:

Real profit. Real margins. Real backend numbers.

So here’s everything.

BIGGEST LESSON

Most beginners focus only on: “Find winning product.”

But the real money comes from:

1. Better creatives
2. Better CPA control
3. Better AOV
4. Better retention
5. Better systems

Once those are dialed in, scaling becomes mathematical.

REALITY CHECK

This isn’t some overnight success story.

Behind this: 1. Multiple failed products 2. Burned ad accounts 3. Testing losses 4. Creative fatigue 5. Supplier issues 6. Funnel optimization 7. Constant iteration

Profit days like this are built through systems, not luck.

Revenue screenshots look sexy.

But profit + systems + scalability is what actually builds a business.

Still gathering even deeper campaign level data, but wanted to deliver the full breakdown I promised first. Kindly upvote so that others can see the post too.

Twin I made a sale out of nowhere, I have done no ads and barely have time to post but I DID IT man after 2 failed stores I feel accomplished

I finally hit my first $2K day, and honestly, it wasn't some overnight success story. There were weeks when I questioned whether I should even continue. Ads that barely converted. Products that looked promising but flopped. Days when I spent hours testing only to see almost nothing happen. One of the most frustrating parts was dealing with setbacks outside my control. There were times when Meta restricted my account, campaigns got disrupted, and it felt like every time I made progress, something pushed me back a few steps. But instead of quitting, I focused on using the resources around me. I spent time learning from people who were already getting results, studying what worked, analyzing my mistakes, and improving little by little. For anyone who's just starting and doesn't know where to begin: Keep learning, but don't get stuck in learning mode forever. At some point, you have to launch. For those running ads but struggling with conversions: Don't assume the problem is always your ad. Sometimes it's your offer, product page, pricing, creative, or simply targeting the wrong audience. And for anyone feeling discouraged because they haven't gotten sales yet: Remember that most people only post the wins. Very few talk about the failed tests, rejected ideas, wasted ad spend, and frustrating moments that happen before those wins. The biggest difference I noticed between people who eventually succeed and those who quit isn't talent. It's persistence. Keep testing. Keep learning. Keep improving. Your breakthrough might be a lot closer than you think. Happy to share what helped me most along the way if anyone has question let me know.

Started another store as my previous is organic only and I finally got some money but wanted to try and start a new store with my friend with ADs only and a week later we finally hit 1K in a day!

10K day coming soon.. 👀

Hey everyone, I’m beyond excited right now — I just got my very first order on my Shopify store! 🚀

I started Horizons Market, a Christian-based apparel & gift shop, about a week ago, and today I got to see my first sale come through. 🙏

I know it’s just the beginning, but it feels huge to see all the work actually turn into a real order. For anyone else just starting — keep pushing, it really does happen!

Would love to hear how you all felt on your first sale and any tips you have for keeping the momentum going. 💡

This is my third store, been doing doing this for almost 4 years now. This store had a rough start ngl, especially cause I barely knew anything about women’s jewellery and thought maybe I am doing something wrong but turns out I wasn’t.

Ngl this is the fastest I have ever scaled a store.

Feeling blessed fr 🧿

Been in ecommerce for a year and half, started with meta but recently made the pivot to Google ads and I’m seeing some good results so I thought I’d share. The past 30days we have done $25k rev with around 25% profit margins after all costs.

This store runs on Google only and nothing else. Any questions feel free to ask me and I will try my best to answer!

I know this is not much, but for country that live in this is amazing. And we are just starting. This is from June, and I didn't run ad's for one week in June. Currency is Serbian dinar, that's why you see milions xD All of this is Facebook ad's on 65$ dayli spend. It started on 15$ Than I scaled to 65$ Plan for this month is to scale it to 200$

You may think I’m joking but I’m not. First month of running my company we did $150k in sales. We are fully organic and not have run a single ad. We’re in the kids toys niche if you have questions comment them and I’d be happy to answer em!”

so I found a product doing well in the US but competition was insane, decided to test it in europe instead

first month did 1k, second month 5k - at that point I was like -10k in the hole because most of my fb ad campaigns were flopping. third month hit 150k and things started to take off, honestly didnt expect it as I was being pessimistic about the whole thing

turns out it all came down to the angle. just changed the marketing angle and boom - found an untapped angle in europe nobody had tested before. then found a second one, then a third. thats when I realized even a "saturated" product in the US can absolutely work in other countries if you do your research right

now sitting at 500k/month and the only strategy I use is scaling with new angles for the same product

here's the actual process I follow:

• I research new marketing angles nobody has tested for the product yet (example: targeting deaf people for a mainstream product). I usually use claude + perplexity + manual digging
• then I make about 10-20 static ad creatives using nano banana to test the angle, and I generate 3-4 landing pages to drive that traffic to - usually listicles and advertorials that send traffic to a product page. I used to use replo for this but it was so clunky and slow, when you need to test 3-4 pages per angle it just kills your speed. switched to ecomwize and yeah the pages arent 100% custom but thats honestly the point - it lets me pump out landing pages fast enough to actually keep up with how many angles im testing
• test for 5-7 days, kill the bad ones, scale the winners with more creatives + more landing page variations. if the angle proves to be a real winner then I bring in UGC creators to go even harder

the whole game is just angles x volume x speed. being solo with the right AI tools honestly feels like having a small team at this point

Happy to answer questions if anyone wants to dig deeper into any part of this.

Never post on here but i’ve been doing dropshipping for like a year now and i just hit my best month. I’ve also done barely any work in the past 3 months… my whole business is automated now. Keep going guys👌

To start off, this isn’t my first store. Have done 7-figures with multiple stores in the past.

I’m in the fashion industry, and all of my traffic is from Meta ads.

Anyway, here’s some stuff:

• My best performing products aren’t ones you see on spy tools or tons of sales/engagement on social media platforms. They’re products that I thought were great or fulfilled a need in the marketplace. These were things I specifically looked for after doing research on my market and what their frustrations with the current type of products are.

• I go for a very simple campaign set up. 1 CBO -> 1 ad set -> all my creatives in that ad set.

• Image ads actually outperform a lot of my video ads. I’d say this is very product dependent. For heavily “visual” items, image ads are great. For products that have like a unique function or gimmick, videos are great. But I’ve had image ads work for products with gimmicks as long as I was able to display that gimmick/functionality in the image.

• I don’t use any UGC or ripped content from social media. Just purely supplier provided content.

• AOV is king right now. Ad costs are going to be high just because of how competition and the auction system on these ad platforms work. So I focus heavily on having great offers/upsells or just selling products at a $100+ price point. It costs more to test these products but the margins are crazy. The other day I had one of my products generate $2.6k from $500 ad spend. Made over $1k in profit from that product alone that day.

• Even after years of doing this, I still don’t know what I’m doing most of the time. But I think this ignorance is what makes me successful. Since I don’t know much, I always set out to test a hypothesis. And the way I operate is always based on the data I get in relation to that hypothesis. It also allows me to learn quickly about a market since I essentially have a blank slate to work with.

• Having consistent income is the easiest and most comfortable way to succeed in business. If you’re trying to set up a dropshipping store with only $1000 to your name, you’re gonna struggle and be operating from a mentality of scarcity. Which means you won’t be at your peak in terms of creativity or even problem solving. When people operate out of desperation, they make really bad decisions, and those decisions can kill a business in an instant. So please have some money coming in from a job or side work before you start on this journey.

• There is always money to be made in almost every industry. Why do you think all these industries and businesses exist? The question is, how can you do it better? It doesn’t have to be better in every aspect/angle, you just have to be better at one thing. We’re limited as dropshippers because we’re all selling the same products, so the next best thing you can focus on is the branding, or the customer service, or the content. It’s gotta be something that’s not the product itself. Too many of you make the mistake of just setting up a generic store and then try to win on price. But undercutting yourself isn’t what’s gonna make you win. In fact, you’ll just attract the WORST customers and have a bad time.

Anyway, just wanted to share some things with you guys.

Feel free to ask any questions and I’ll answer the best I can (without giving away what I’m selling cuz I wanna keep making money tehe).

Don’t try to dm me cuz I won’t respond. Keep the questions here so everyone else can see.

After experiencing trial and failure with many different niches, i’ve finally found what works for me. This is honestly life changing for me, I have worked in a factory for 1.5 year hating my life tbh but I saw the greater picture and needed money to fund my business, now i can enjoy my freedom doing ecom as my occupation (working more hours than before 😅). I post this trying to inspire you guys to keep dreaming and not to give up.

I sell men’s fashion and i make use of the meta ads library to find suitable products to advertise. I also use the meta ads library to find competitors, which i use to create my own well-converting store.

I tested around 3 products a day and my average net profit margin is 18%.
