Dropshipping in 2025 - A lot more money to be made

Hey everyone, I’m currently 21 years old - I began investing my time into dropshipping around a year ago, I was like everybody else and had my doubts about making it actually work. I sought the help of gurus - I tried a couple of products that completely flopped and believed it was simply impossible, or there were certain secrets I had to learn. Eventually I found someone on reddit who gave me a no bullsh*t approach to e commerce, no gimmicks like your typical guru would try to teach. This was instrumental in my growth and when I got my first sale I was over the moon and realised it’s all possible with real research and effort, there are no shortcuts or secrets. Now I’ve come a long way and everything is running at a very healthy pace - My Net margins are around 35%. I’m definitely not making life changing money but the extra income is great. I did get quite complacent for a while and was too scared to scale because I didn’t want to touch anything and ruin what’s working. Now i’m at a different point where I’ve realised I truly can make life changing money if i can get (a lot) more traffic and keep my key metrics (CVR) from dropping. I can be making 8-10k net profit/ month depending on how much my metrics change once I scale. So yeah I’m at a point where I know it’s working but I need to put some serious effort into scaling, I’m actually pretty excited to see what can happen - It will obviously be easier said than done but I’m eager to hear anyone who was in my position where they were making (alright) money, but wanted to take the next step. What would be your advice? Question for the pros. I currently use DSers - Does anyone know how/where I can get a better supplier? I am pretty much paying retail price and I know I can cut COG in half. Any advice for finding good suppliers? Also - Just to anyone who’s never made a dollar or is still getting negative returns. Keep going, it’s still possible - Ecommerce will always be alive, just make sure you’re adapting to the times and not following the outdated advice that worked 4-5 years ago. Feel free to ask me for some advice - But don’t let the numbers fool you, I am still a rookie in this game and am learning new things every day!
