Issue
Dropshipping businesses struggle to build perceived luxury brand value for low-cost Chinese products to justify premium pricing and drive conversions; customers dismiss cheap products from no-name stores even at 50% discount.

I'm back, apologies for my absence - It's been a pretty busy year. It's still insane to me that a few years ago I was earning less than minimum wage, breaking my back (literally) over a manual labour job that didn't even respect me enough to pay my check on time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly a millionaire - but the freedom my new life has given me is worth more than anything. **If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me down below. I'll do my best to sit through and answer as many as I can over the next few days.** My advise is simple People don't want to buy some cheap Chinese gadget from a no-name "store" You need to build a brand, sell something that people want, price it high, and sell them on your imagery / brand aesthetics BEFORE you hit them with an offer. When the customer already wants what you have, and they perceive your brand as high end / desirable - and THEN you drop an offer that's too good refuse - you'll start closing sales. **Nobody cares if a cheap $20 backpack from some random store is 50% off** **People DO CARE if a $300 luxury backpack from a high end brand is 50% off** **In reality, they're both manufactured in the same place, by the same people - the only difference is how you sell it.**

So are you actually dropshipping or did you source a product and package yourself? That matters no shade

I’m wondering, who did you learn off of because most information on YouTube is trying to sell you the dream a website a store builder of course a one-on-one coaching etc who do you suggest we learn off of I think that’s the most set back part is everybody wants to start but they get false information old shitty strategies at the end of the day. This is creating a skill off of knowledge, but who’s giving the right advice.???
