Purely ripped creatives First 2 weeks were break even, then performance started taking off Used AI for images and copy on website Simple CBO targeting tier 4 countries, min spend $10 on new ad sets with new creatives Offer is a simple quantity break I got trapped the past few months seeing all this BS on Twitter/X. Wondering where to start. Everyone saying dropshipping has changed or it’s dead. I got out of my own way and finally launched a product I had been sitting on for months. It’s definitely not dead, and really the only things that have changed are the introduction of AI tools. It’s not complicated to reach a few grand in sales per day. Next step is hiring a video editor so I can pump out creatives and scale to $10k+/days. May try advertorials as well

How do I find a supplier? Is it only on alibaba? Can they handle dealing with vat(UK/EU) or tarriffs(USA)??? These 2 questions are really what’s getting me going in circles

Saying dropshipping it's dead it's like saying ecommerce is dead.
