Noob to 10K Month 🥳

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. 2. 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. 3. 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 [https://www.reddit.com/r/dropshipping/comments/1owokdi/i\_was\_checking\_my\_ads\_40\_times\_a\_day\_and\_tanking/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/dropshipping/comments/1owokdi/i_was_checking_my_ads_40_times_a_day_and_tanking/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) [https://www.reddit.com/r/FacebookAds/comments/1or1o8g/i\_analyzed\_20000\_topperforming\_ad\_creatives\_here/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/FacebookAds/comments/1or1o8g/i_analyzed_20000_topperforming_ad_creatives_here/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) [https://www.reddit.com/r/shopify\_hustlers/comments/1oryv2z/how\_to\_tell\_if\_your\_conversion\_problem\_is/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/shopify_hustlers/comments/1oryv2z/how_to_tell_if_your_conversion_problem_is/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) [https://www.reddit.com/r/shopify\_hustlers/comments/1p59dav/ive\_tested\_thousands\_of\_q4\_ads\_heres\_what/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/shopify_hustlers/comments/1p59dav/ive_tested_thousands_of_q4_ads_heres_what/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) [https://www.reddit.com/r/shopify\_hustlers/comments/1p5d6hi/how\_we\_actually\_take\_a\_shopify\_store\_from\_0\_to/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/shopify_hustlers/comments/1p5d6hi/how_we_actually_take_a_shopify_store_from_0_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) [https://www.reddit.com/r/dropshipping/comments/1oqr7g6/starting\_the\_day\_with\_28\_conversion\_rate\_on\_the/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/dropshipping/comments/1oqr7g6/starting_the_day_with_28_conversion_rate_on_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) [https://www.reddit.com/r/shopify\_hustlers/comments/1p67qne/heres\_why\_your\_shopify\_product\_wont\_scale/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/shopify_hustlers/comments/1p67qne/heres_why_your_shopify_product_wont_scale/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) 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”
