Been seeing a lot of posts from people stuck in dropshipping, so figured I’d share my experience in case it helps someone.
I spent about a year and a half trying to make it work and, honestly, most of that time was just spinning my wheels. I hopped between niches, tested random strategies, leaned way too hard on AI tools, watched a ton of content… and still couldn’t get anything to stick.
A few months ago, I decided to get some direct help from a friend of mine who actually knew what he was doing. I paid him for mentoring, which pretty much left me with my last ~$500, so yeah — that was stressful. I remember thinking this was either going to work or I was done for a while.
First call in, I started testing products the way he suggested. Nothing fancy. Just focused testing. By my second product, I hit my first real winner. Fast forward to last week and I’ve been able to scale it to around $2k/day. Not saying this to flex — more just relief that something finally worked after a long stretch of nothing.
Not here to sell anything or hype anything up. Just wanted to say that having someone experienced look at what you’re doing can save you a lot of wasted time. If anyone has small questions, feel free to DM and I’ll help where I can. And if you’re curious about the mentor I worked with, I can share that too.
Keep testing creatives and don’t overcomplicate it
