Of all affiliate marketing, dropshipping and make money from home genre here in YT this is by far is the most genuine and honest opinion being told on this topics. Kudos to you and keep us posted on your journey.
Some of these comments be like " Don't give up just keep testing bla bla" . When you start burning through thousands of dollars with no return you quickly realize this doesn't work for everyone. It seems like hit and miss at times. I'm going to try it one day but I'm going into it with more of a pessimistic mindset.
The websites look amazing. Honestly, one of the best dropshipping websites that I have ever seen. Maybe its the product or the ad video which is not bringing in sales. Also, according to you what's better - Tiktok ads or Facebook/Insta ads?
Thanks man!! Yea I think it might be the ads cause no one was clicking the link. I'm staying AWAY from Facebook for now cause I've heard so many problems about banned accounts. 😂. I think overall Facebook is better though it has more data than TikTok
Hire a team to outsource your Facebook ads and run on their accounts the ads (trust). Invest a lot of money to get high quality video s and image creatives for the ads to do testing. Good luck!
from the looks of your ad metrics, the ads must not be very good. generally if you get clicks but no ad to carts = bad product. if you get clicks and ATC but no sales = bad website or sale funnel. and if you have bad ad CTR (like 1.5% or lower) high CPM (10$+), and high CPC (.50$+) = bad ad creative. hope this helps (:
this sounds like good advice. i had a nice vid ad, a good website with everything designed by me (logos, pics, etc etc) but no ATCs and i just accepted the product or the price i was asking was not it. rest of the metrics u talked about were good tho! omw to try again with another product :)
ATC and no sales could also be because your markets are not set to allow 99% of the earth to check out lol, make sure you guys know where you’re allowing shipping to
Damn, nice try bro. The effort doesn’t go unnoticed! Just ordered my first 3 potential products for my first couple stores I’m gonna try doing. Going in knowing I’m gonna fail, but excited about learning the do’s and donts 🤝 2022 we all making it fam ⚡️
Hi Mikey, so i've been following your channel for a few weeks now. I have a suggestion as i've been dropshipping for a while, try stick to ONE PRODUCT NICHE since you admit that you're still in your learning phase. This makes it easier for you to gather as much information about the potential buyers in that product niche before you switch to a different product niche as the conversion criteria sometimes varies significantly.
Don't Give up! Keep Going! - So far I've tested 23 different products and just made profit for the first time, I can't wait to see you grow and become succesful.
Great video man, I've been dropshipping for almost 6 months, I paid a mentorship program for about 4k and been using even adspy still the same struggles, not profitable yet. Let's keep trying and see but the reality is dropshipping is not what it used to be back like back in the days
Thanks man! 4k??! Thats insane😂. Its a lot different that before yea. But I think its easier than ever now because of tiktok. We will figure it out eventually i know it
yooo that is a lot of cash spent on courses man but keep your head up man you will be making that in a day. what marketing ways are you using? are you in the US?
I have watch the Econ Kings free Course as well and other youtubers as well! Feel your pain as in the same boat as you but don't give it up bro and keep it up!
With my little experience in tiktok ads I realize that finding the winning product isn't enough but find the winning creative is also so important.. I hope you didn't stop cause the key to succeed in this business is to test more and more products! Thank you for your transparency and we're waiting for the next video..
PS : Can you please mention the theme name you used in your website ?
You came on my UA-cam homepage. I watched this and subscribed to see your journey. I am pretty much in exactly the same boat as you. Keep us updated. Don't give up and all the best.
If the CPM of your Tiktok ads is too high. That means something wrong with your ad creatives. Mostly the problem is you have used other people's work. You gotta make ugc content to lower the CPM. I made ugc content by myself for my Tiktok ads and it costs me only $1USD CPM! Great video and don't give up!
interesting bro. I'm from Brazil and I'm also doing Drop. I haven't had any results yet, but I know the potential that this market has and I won't give up. Great video.
@@tiagodroppa it is all a matter of regions man, im from mato grosso and it takes around 20 days-ish, maybe try to talk to the actual seller to see how are they shipping time and add it to your website or checkout, glad to see u and gabriel here, we will find our way up!
These "dropshipping" gurus will never truly teach you the secrets they use to succeed. If they do, you won't have a reason to keep watching their youtube channels.
I saw the 9 hours course , and in the beginning of the video he says that you have to spend minimum 2K on ads , and a lot of more stuff that i think you didn’t do ! I did what they told me in the curse , and I’m making 270$Profit minimum every day brother .(Facebook and Instagram ads )
I started the same way, following a course (that was very expensive), to make one product stores and boh only got me a sale each. i think the products were ok but I believe my selection is much better now. I know people love the idea of a branded store taking them to the next level but I think the ad creative is more important than that (what I was told by a mentor), I know only run one general store and am just continuously testing. I have hit 7 sales on one product (which is crazy to me), but its still tough when I am having lots of products fail and not do well even though I think the creatives are decent. I think getting an agency account will help you in the long run, apparently they convert better and they help you with bans, managing your account etc. Keen to see what you make of this as I am in the same stage, waiting to find my first real winner. All the best.
imo i would get some videos down on your tiktok page first before running ads. It will make your page look more legit and you may also get an organic viral video.
since TikTok is mostly kids, they arent going to be interested in a 720 degree faucet, instead a website like facebook could be a great platform to advertise on. Facebook is mostly young or mature adults who own a house and could see a product like this faucet from benefiting them.
Tiktok got a primarily younger audience with around 43% being between the ages of 18-24, the wrinkles and tightening product wouldn't work as well due to the fact that fewer people within that target market will need it as how many young ppl do u know who have wrinkles? and as for the shower thing, again the audience primarily is younger so they likely won't be investing in these tools to improve their bathroom quality of life as they'll be spending it on impulse buys that provide immediate gratification, around 32% of tiktoks market is 25-34 but u also gotta think, how often do these people even buy anything from tiktok? Especially if it's a quality of life improvement product or something that modifies your skin, they'll likely get these things from furniture stores, pharmacies and doctors, hope this helps!
Exactly this. If you going to use TikTok to drive traffic, try to focus on products for younger generation. I give you an example I have made over 100k from TikTok, The beer gun. And find a product is easy just copy other drop shippers product. Meaning use the data to figure which product has been selling the most and just market it.
The problem with selling "winner products" on tic toc is a hit and miss and a short lived glory. People should focus in building strong brands through innovation and stop relying on the quick flip. It took me 20 years to achieve sustainable goals and the grind continues. There is no shortcut to success. Before you win you most likely fail several times. I'm not discrediting the Ecom King as he has mastered this game, but I'm sure he failed incredibly before he learned from his mistakes and found what works for him. Best of luck and don't let anything discourage you.
Never give up or getting tired of learning keep growing , by the way i can see the product is the issue as u say it wasn't solving big solutions or it wasn't that demand anyhow the more u practice the more u become better in everything in life .. all the best
Have you considered outsourcing the videos/marketting? Because from what I hear, a lot of money goes into marketing, so if u have a catchy ad, u will get someone to buy it Also, u gotta realize most people on tik tok are teens, so home related stuff isn't that hot.
maaaan your websites are the best. my comment is... the first product was trending in the past and i think people have had enough of that and again on tiktok virality beats everything. If people are not watching your whole video or commenting they end up charging you a lot and you lose. For the second one, that niche(face skin care) has been one of the best ones in the past and now big companies put in money and people can get those types of products everywhere so, selling it online can work but it can"t be easy.But man if you find a good product, you will make a lot of cash
Thank you bro! You are making a lot of sense. cause I saw one major company called nuderma selling it but I decided to give it a try anyways. I'll keep that in mind when im looking for other products
I am trying dropshipping too, until today without success. I do believe it works, but what I do believe too is that you are not getting the key points that turn your business profitable teached in a course or on youtube. I mean from the perspective of the „gurus“ it would not make sense to share with you the „real“ knowledge, because they make money in teaching you. The longer they can teach you some „new“ concepts the more money they get. I do not say, that these courses are not valuable, they teach the basic idea and concepts, but I think you have to think on your own and make your own way. This comment is not a hate comment, only my thoughts…
Chin up man! You are doing great! Great editing, impressive website, you do need to test many products before you find a winner, this is why the approximate start up budget for dropshipping is about 3000 dollars. In my humble opinion though, I think the problem is with the products. The first product is not interesting enough especially for tiktok, which you figured out yourself. The second product seems to complicated to explain, and I am sure people have seen something similar before, and it has lost its wow factor. Remember that the skills you gain can also be monitized. You are not losing but learning! Subscribed to follow your journey.
Hey Mikey! , your video got recommended for me. I am student of marketing in spain. You do everything good in my perspective except for look your target audience in the wrong enviroment. For example the washing handle and the skin care product. In my opinion are adult products , and i think you know , that the audience on tiktok is from 12+ to 23/23 mayority. So it´s difficult that people of that age gets interested in that kinf of product. As you said at the end. You need to think that the people you are selling it. For example 15 years old maybe would like video games stuff or technology stuff. And then find a product related to that. Excelent effort man , keep going and you will suceed is the way of the entrepreneur.
Finally someone who speaks the truth. I just started in the dropshipping world and I am facing the same difficulties. Trying to find out where the problem is. Fixing slowness problems in my site at the minute. Creatives got a good engagement rate and a decent visitors amount but zero sales so far. It's not picnic my friend! :o
Bro! You’re a gem and a breathe of fresh air!!!! You’re doing God’s work! You will be successful and I know it! Keep keeping on! You will be successful on UA-cam! Don’t you worry.
And THIS is why I'm being so cautious about getting into drop shipping. There's a universe of hype but I'm not seeing legit operations from scratch. I want this to work but all I'm seeing are vids for the 1/2% of guys who are making really good money. The clear impression is "you to can do this!" Pfft Nope. Thanks so much for this vid and your honesty- you've been working hard on this.
Honestly the way you design your websites is great. Nothing to say about that. I was in a similar position where you are now. What really helped me is looking for products that can be marketed using the “Life Force 7”. Drew eric whitman wrote about them in his book Cashvertising. Has been a big game changer for me. Then, once the products are found, write a product description that triggers emotionally, using the Life Force 7 again. even though many people say product saturation does not exist, it is definitely easier to market a product if is fresh. Thats why I always check what stage the market is in, and if its trending. Big up the hard work. With this consistency it only takes 1 good product to pop and start making some money 👊🏻
Even though the shop wasn’t successful, I think you did a great job the video overall 👍🏻 you are a good storyteller, I think these videos have some potential 😊
Hi Mikey, you’re doing everything right but your marketing isn’t 100% on point. If you get back to me I can give you my login to a course that will learn you exactly what you need know, just trying to help a brother out 🤟
Great video! I wasn't a fan of the first product, but the second one most certainly had the wow factor and the website looked great. I personally would have stuck with that product and worked on my ad (creative/copy) and landing page. I would have also targeted influencers as well. I know it's easy for me to say, but rarely are stores profitable on the first go-the money is in the follow-up. Stay patient! If it was easy and immediately profitable, then everyone would be doing it.
It's not ECOM KING's fault bro, even he himself said it takes time to find a winning product after failing multiple times. Some people spend months to find a winning product. I love and respect ECOM KING man, he inspired me alot❤
So something I noticed is the price point. Its very hard to scale with something that has a profit under $20. This doesn't mean its impossible to sell those types I personally found it much harder. Add upsells and product bundles which can increase AOV. Stores actually looked great tbh but hold back on as seen on big places where they actually arent seen on those places, people will realize and not trust your brand for the long term.
I spent 2 years watching UA-cam dropshipping videos and spent thousands of dollars on trying to 'crack the code'. I only found success after I started manufacturing my own products and working hard to build a brand and community. Wish you luck but I feel that drop shipping is really done these days...
My first time coming across your UA-cam. Honestly from this watching video shows how much you have potential. I really see a successful journey for you. I hope you continue sharing more content like this, don’t give up you’ve got this.
People are forgetting that the luck is the most important factor in everything you do. It is not that research criteria is not enough for finding a winner, you just did not have much luck. People have found winners(even among some garbage products) even with much less effort because they got lucky. Somebody gets lucky on the first try, somebody on the 5th, somebody on 100th. That is life sadly...
Should be running these ads for minimum a week to see if there is potential, tweaking interests as you go. Will get nowhere taking a pot shot at ads for a day. Frankly you were lucky to get a single sale. If you don't ahev the budget you may be better trying to go viral on tik tok with a product. Also the products weren't great. First one looked gimmicky and second one looked scummy. No matter how good your sites are and how professional they make a product seem, of the products seem gimmicky or scummy.........well, it's game over. I will have to check out this ecom king guy.
I love how dedicated you are. You seem to not get put off by not seeing any returns and you still keep going whilst investing money. Here is one thing I would maybe consider: Before testing each product and quickly moving on to the next one I would maybe think each product through more and decide if TikTok is even the right place to advertise it. Like you said the faucet was definitely not meant for TikTok and would definitely do better on facebook. I think you may have learned this lesson but wanted to point it out because you can save a lot of time and money if you properly think about each product beforehand. GReat videos though and keep it up!
Hey I think the problem wasn’t your ads or your website or the product itself but it just wasn’t a good match. For example the people that you’re going to have seeing your advertisement on tick-tock very young and even if they are older for example 20-year-olds or 22-year-olds they probably still live at home with their parents which means even though your product is interesting a 20-year-old who lives at home with their parents isn’t going to buy a faucet no matter how cool it looks.
your websites look great and you definitely are putting in the hard work Drop shipping just seems a lot more luck based now than it used to be years ago.
It's because everyone is doing it and every time someone becomes massively successful doing it they post a video on how they did it which just leads everyone to copy them making their method obsolete, rinse and repeat for 8 years
Bro I LOVE this content.. SUCH a good job on this video and the content.. and the website.. Please keep going Please show more case studies And great job at maximizing your efforts in the sense of repurposing the content for UA-cam This is what winners do
Mabey try advertising on Facebook, Instagram, or elsewhere. Somewhere, where people are less likely to scroll past it, Facebook generally has older users than tik tok.
Excellent video, thanks so much for all your efforts! ❤️ I’m no expert, and since I’m still working my normal 40 hours job, have little time, but I’ve been following (at first more for entertainment actually 🤣) Sarah from Wholesale TED, and with only an hour or two per week of effort put in my POD shop I make a sale now and then. It’s just a hobby for me, but if I had the time, I would follow her instructions for a drop ship store to the letter 😉 Wishing you all the best! 👍🙏
i see where you miss your imporvement, you could have a better website design testimonials make the website look Meh, your ad copy could be better too your videos are good
Bro i would first start with a few campaigns on fb of “view content” once I get enough of those I’d pas to “add to cart” campaign. And only than a purchase ad. You gotta understand that in most cases to begin with a purchase campaign won’t bring any result and will just be very costly as you could see. Start with view content campaign and the cos tower click will be most likely no more than 0.3. You need a lot of visitors to build effective data on Facebook which will be very costly with purchase ads that don’t convert. The cheapest way to “teach” Facebook about your audience is buy startingwith VC campaign. Hope that helps. Know that getting to a profitable point takes time and learning. It’s not all about your product and in most cases even a winning product takes time to make sales until you out it in front of the right people :)
Most people have said it's just a waste of money to optimize for an event other than the one you want. Some say otherwise. I don't think the ad strategy is as important as the product and marketing
So to be clear… you promoted a faucet and a thing for women above their 30s…. On tiktok? Is this where your target demographic is located? Did you try facebook, where such impulsive buyers may lurk? Peace ✌🏻
Yoo bro, I been doing dropship now 7 months whit a mentor of 2k, still not profitable bro.. it’s hard!! Nobody believes me, I work 6 days so I doing it all in the night hours… we keep going!!!
Im very new to all this I need help understanding about paying for ads? Is it optional and when you pay for ads what does it do I know it promotes you’re store or product but is there other ways ?
You don't have to pay for ads you can post for free on TikTok. If your video goes viral that's free promotion for your store. Paying for ads is a guaranteed way to get people to see your video
for the faucet the problem could’ve been the cost of it. since the price of 22 dollars was low considering a faucet from walmart cost around 30 dollars it didn’t come off as a premium product which is what the shop represents. in my opinion i think you shouldve tried increasing the price slowly maybe should’ve add 5 to 10 extra and see if that increase a costumers desire to buy
Website looks so good but the only thing you need to work on is PRODUCT Make sure the product have something which can show result instantly like Galaxy light, Led air humidifier, back cracker and what i personally recommend is don't sleep on TikTok organic and run ads on facebook TikTok organic won't be forever. use the time
I think that you don't need paid ads . Try to just post that video in the tiktok account , with the right hashtags at the right moment , it's free and a tiktok post could explode as an ads .
I feel so bad for this guy. He is trying so hard, but he doesn't understand one very simple thing: "THOSE WHO CAN, DO. THOSE WHO CANNOT, TEACH." So a multi multi millionaire is going to stop what is giving him millions of dollars a month, to teach people he doesn't know how to make millions and millions of dollars? Why? Is it because he is a good guy and just wants to "help"? Haha. Use your brain.
All the people I know who use tiktok, still live with mum and dad. They don't need to buy a faucet. Target your audience, you're looking for homeowners who spend money, and like gadgets. Your next task is the hard one, you need to where to find em. ---- Also, and I'm being pretty pedantic here, but I'm just offering tips here, and a new perspective. The colour scheme on the second site didn't look so good. And it was a bit of a turn off. Similarly, it went on a bit too long. I feel like a better format, and some company logos on the product would do much better. But that doesn't mean you've failed, you haven't. You've learned what doesn't work, and now you can concentrate on find a new approach. The path to success is not straight forward, and you only learn from this. So I'd say you did really well. Did you make money? No. Did you go down the right path to get there? Yes. So okay you didn't make money, but this is what we do. We dare to fail to gain rewards others don't dare to chase. You got this bro!
There are a lot more people on TikTok that you think. A lot of old folk are on there. Yea I think you're right the site was a bit much. Thank you for sharing your tips!
I don’t know if anyone mentioned it in the comments or I’m being silly but great video but if your advertising specific products to women who are 30+ I wouldn’t imagine that tiktok would be the best place for it as it seems a younger generations app. Just thought this might help.
I thought my CPM was high at £1.50 - £2. Are you in the UK if so how do you advertise to the US. I have been doing all ads on UK tiktok and I have had 27 sales in 3 days but still at a little bit of a loss because of the price of the product being low.
Hello bro first appreciate your effort towards it Make sure before going for a marketing platforms Saturated products is not succeeded with trending media platform Bcoz people already well know to the products you show in this video bro Check with Amazon before go for a product selection (people usually check the products with Amazon even though is a new in market so, make sure your products is not been listed in Amazon more than 2sellers (not with tons of reviews on Amazon) Tiktok is not converting mostly comparatively with other platforms bro This is for who have a low budget for dropshipping Keep pushing bro👍🏻✔️
Use google ads it’s people actually searching for you type of product rather than some random person that doesn’t care about it, it’s hard with tiktok ads bc it’s a cold market
I really love and appreciate the way you show your failure journey too. A normal person wouldn't have done this. Thus , I'm not the only one failing. I'M NOT ALONE!!!
"i added 30 day money back guarantee to build trust", but do you actually do that??? it seems you create 10 webshops and then delete them! how do you give 30 days money back then if the online shop is gone? LOL
Have you checked out a guy called Jordan Messoud because I’m very worried about that guy he’s doing the same sort of things what other people are doing But he goes around to all the UK celebrities and get them to jump on their social media platform and explain that they are with him so he can explain what he does. Please check him out and tell me if he’s a fraud

@@GeminiJade2 yes once you get the first sale you fully believe it's possible
If the CPM of your Tiktok ads is too high. That means something wrong with your ad creatives. Mostly the problem is you have used other people's work. You gotta make ugc content to lower the CPM. I made ugc content by myself for my Tiktok ads and it costs me only $1USD CPM! Great video and don't give up!
That makes sense. Thanks for that I'll definitely try and use my own clips
Hey Mikey, love the transparency. Your persistence is going to pay off one day and I'm excited to see yor success.
Thank you!
interesting bro. I'm from Brazil and I'm also doing Drop. I haven't had any results yet, but I know the potential that this market has and I won't give up. Great video.
Thank you brother. Yes don't give up until you get it. You only fail if you give up
Hey Gabriel! Im brazilian too! Are you being able to ship products from 5 to 15 days? Or what are the time for brazil's shippings?
@@tiagodroppa it is all a matter of regions man, im from mato grosso and it takes around 20 days-ish, maybe try to talk to the actual seller to see how are they shipping time and add it to your website or checkout, glad to see u and gabriel here, we will find our way up!
These "dropshipping" gurus will never truly teach you the secrets they use to succeed. If they do, you won't have a reason to keep watching their youtube channels.
I feel like they teach it but people give up too easily to get it to work
THANK YOU for being so honest about these things, I’ve been wondering if these actually work or are they just a scam 😭💀 now I know.
It works
I saw the 9 hours course , and in the beginning of the video he says that you have to spend minimum 2K on ads , and a lot of more stuff that i think you didn’t do ! I did what they told me in the curse , and I’m making 270$Profit minimum every day brother .(Facebook and Instagram ads )
Yea I definitely need a bigger budget. What other stuff do you think i need to do?
I started the same way, following a course (that was very expensive), to make one product stores and boh only got me a sale each. i think the products were ok but I believe my selection is much better now. I know people love the idea of a branded store taking them to the next level but I think the ad creative is more important than that (what I was told by a mentor), I know only run one general store and am just continuously testing. I have hit 7 sales on one product (which is crazy to me), but its still tough when I am having lots of products fail and not do well even though I think the creatives are decent. I think getting an agency account will help you in the long run, apparently they convert better and they help you with bans, managing your account etc. Keen to see what you make of this as I am in the same stage, waiting to find my first real winner. All the best.
thanks for sharing! good luck to you!
hey bro ! can I dm u in insta ?what's your IG?
@@lucasehgal1230 for sure. I don’t really want to share it on here but if you post yours I’ll msg you!
Why accounts are getting ban on Facebook?? What’s wrong with dropshiping ad on Facebook? I am curious could you please explain?
@@KFoodisHappiness Facebook is getting more and more strict with its rules. It always has been tbh, but lately it's getting even more
imo i would get some videos down on your tiktok page first before running ads. It will make your page look more legit and you may also get an organic viral video.
good point
Your site design looks top notch! 😂
thanksss😁
since TikTok is mostly kids, they arent going to be interested in a 720 degree faucet, instead a website like facebook could be a great platform to advertise on. Facebook is mostly young or mature adults who own a house and could see a product like this faucet from benefiting them.
you're right about facebook but there are a lot of older people on tiktok as well
Tiktok got a primarily younger audience with around 43% being between the ages of 18-24, the wrinkles and tightening product wouldn't work as well due to the fact that fewer people within that target market will need it as how many young ppl do u know who have wrinkles? and as for the shower thing, again the audience primarily is younger so they likely won't be investing in these tools to improve their bathroom quality of life as they'll be spending it on impulse buys that provide immediate gratification, around 32% of tiktoks market is 25-34 but u also gotta think, how often do these people even buy anything from tiktok? Especially if it's a quality of life improvement product or something that modifies your skin, they'll likely get these things from furniture stores, pharmacies and doctors, hope this helps!
you have a good point. My next product will be a low ticket product for younger people
Exactly this. If you going to use TikTok to drive traffic, try to focus on products for younger generation. I give you an example I have made over 100k from TikTok, The beer gun. And find a product is easy just copy other drop shippers product. Meaning use the data to figure which product has been selling the most and just market it.
The problem with selling "winner products" on tic toc is a hit and miss and a short lived glory. People should focus in building strong brands through innovation and stop relying on the quick flip. It took me 20 years to achieve sustainable goals and the grind continues. There is no shortcut to success. Before you win you most likely fail several times.
I'm not discrediting the Ecom King as he has mastered this game, but I'm sure he failed incredibly before he learned from his mistakes and found what works for him.
Best of luck and don't let anything discourage you.
Thanks for the advice man!
Never give up or getting tired of learning keep growing , by the way i can see the product is the issue as u say it wasn't solving big solutions or it wasn't that demand anyhow the more u practice the more u become better in everything in life .. all the best
Exactly bro you only fail when you give up! Thank you
Have you considered outsourcing the videos/marketting?
Because from what I hear, a lot of money goes into marketing, so if u have a catchy ad, u will get someone to buy it
Also, u gotta realize most people on tik tok are teens, so home related stuff isn't that hot.
I don't have outsourcing money😂. Yea you're right that product was an L
maaaan your websites are the best. my comment is... the first product was trending in the past and i think people have had enough of that and again on tiktok virality beats everything. If people are not watching your whole video or commenting they end up charging you a lot and you lose. For the second one, that niche(face skin care) has been one of the best ones in the past and now big companies put in money and people can get those types of products everywhere so, selling it online can work but it can"t be easy.But man if you find a good product, you will make a lot of cash
Thank you bro! You are making a lot of sense. cause I saw one major company called nuderma selling it but I decided to give it a try anyways. I'll keep that in mind when im looking for other products
I am trying dropshipping too, until today without success. I do believe it works, but what I do believe too is that you are not getting the key points that turn your business profitable teached in a course or on youtube. I mean from the perspective of the „gurus“ it would not make sense to share with you the „real“ knowledge, because they make money in teaching you. The longer they can teach you some „new“ concepts the more money they get.
I do not say, that these courses are not valuable, they teach the basic idea and concepts, but I think you have to think on your own and make your own way.
This comment is not a hate comment, only my thoughts…
yea you dont need to buy a course of get a mentor cause everything is free on youtube
Chin up man! You are doing great! Great editing, impressive website, you do need to test many products before you find a winner, this is why the approximate start up budget for dropshipping is about 3000 dollars.
In my humble opinion though, I think the problem is with the products. The first product is not interesting enough especially for tiktok, which you figured out yourself. The second product seems to complicated to explain, and I am sure people have seen something similar before, and it has lost its wow factor.
Remember that the skills you gain can also be monitized. You are not losing but learning!
Subscribed to follow your journey.
Thank you very much! Yea you're right the budget requirement is pretty high. I think I'm gonna stick to organic for now. Thanks for sticking with me!
Hey Mikey! , your video got recommended for me. I am student of marketing in spain. You do everything good in my perspective except for look your target audience in the wrong enviroment. For example the washing handle and the skin care product. In my opinion are adult products , and i think you know , that the audience on tiktok is from 12+ to 23/23 mayority. So it´s difficult that people of that age gets interested in that kinf of product. As you said at the end. You need to think that the people you are selling it. For example 15 years old maybe would like video games stuff or technology stuff. And then find a product related to that. Excelent effort man , keep going and you will suceed is the way of the entrepreneur.
thanks man! but there are a lot of older people on tiktok
Finally someone who speaks the truth. I just started in the dropshipping world and I am facing the same difficulties. Trying to find out where the problem is. Fixing slowness problems in my site at the minute. Creatives got a good engagement rate and a decent visitors amount but zero sales so far. It's not picnic my friend! :o
Apparently zero sales and no add to carts could mean your price is too high or website looks scammy or bad offer. Yea it's not easy at all
Brother, You have to know who your target audience is. Kids on tiktok don't care about these things. Women in their 30 are on facebook/instagram.
Bro! You’re a gem and a breathe of fresh air!!!! You’re doing God’s work! You will be successful and I know it! Keep keeping on! You will be successful on UA-cam! Don’t you worry.
Thank you very much man! I really appreciate that❤
the editing was class on this bro
Thanks bro!
And THIS is why I'm being so cautious about getting into drop shipping. There's a universe of hype but I'm not seeing legit operations from scratch. I want this to work but all I'm seeing are vids for the 1/2% of guys who are making really good money. The clear impression is "you to can do this!" Pfft Nope. Thanks so much for this vid and your honesty- you've been working hard on this.
You can try TikTok Dropshipping if you are skeptical. Very low risk
Honestly the way you design your websites is great. Nothing to say about that. I was in a similar position where you are now. What really helped me is looking for products that can be marketed using the “Life Force 7”. Drew eric whitman wrote about them in his book Cashvertising. Has been a big game changer for me. Then, once the products are found, write a product description that triggers emotionally, using the Life Force 7 again.
even though many people say product saturation does not exist, it is definitely easier to market a product if is fresh. Thats why I always check what stage the market is in, and if its trending.
Big up the hard work. With this consistency it only takes 1 good product to pop and start making some money 👊🏻
Good points there. You're making a lot of sense
Even though the shop wasn’t successful, I think you did a great job the video overall 👍🏻 you are a good storyteller, I think these videos have some potential 😊
thank you!
Hi Mikey, you’re doing everything right but your marketing isn’t 100% on point. If you get back to me I can give you my login to a course that will learn you exactly what you need know, just trying to help a brother out 🤟
whats wrong with my marketing?😢
Great video! I wasn't a fan of the first product, but the second one most certainly had the wow factor and the website looked great. I personally would have stuck with that product and worked on my ad (creative/copy) and landing page. I would have also targeted influencers as well. I know it's easy for me to say, but rarely are stores profitable on the first go-the money is in the follow-up. Stay patient! If it was easy and immediately profitable, then everyone would be doing it.
you are right!
At least you tried and learning from it, it’s can only get better. Keep it up
Exactly! I will💪🏾
It's not ECOM KING's fault bro, even he himself said it takes time to find a winning product after failing multiple times. Some people spend months to find a winning product.
I love and respect ECOM KING man, he inspired me alot❤
I think the pet niche is good. People are willing to buy and spend anything on there pet.
I think so too. I'll definitely try it one day
So something I noticed is the price point. Its very hard to scale with something that has a profit under $20. This doesn't mean its impossible to sell those types I personally found it much harder. Add upsells and product bundles which can increase AOV. Stores actually looked great tbh but hold back on as seen on big places where they actually arent seen on those places, people will realize and not trust your brand for the long term.
thanks a lot for the tips! I'm definitely implementing them in my next vid
I spent 2 years watching UA-cam dropshipping videos and spent thousands of dollars on trying to 'crack the code'. I only found success after I started manufacturing my own products and working hard to build a brand and community. Wish you luck but I feel that drop shipping is really done these days...
The Dropshipping model isn't dead but maybe the way people on UA-cam are teaching it is dead
My first time coming across your UA-cam. Honestly from this watching video shows how much you have potential. I really see a successful journey for you. I hope you continue sharing more content like this, don’t give up you’ve got this.
Thanks a lot!
People are forgetting that the luck is the most important factor in everything you do. It is not that research criteria is not enough for finding a winner, you just did not have much luck. People have found winners(even among some garbage products) even with much less effort because they got lucky.
Somebody gets lucky on the first try, somebody on the 5th, somebody on 100th. That is life sadly...
Yea but the more you try the luckier you get
😂😂😂👍
Should be running these ads for minimum a week to see if there is potential, tweaking interests as you go. Will get nowhere taking a pot shot at ads for a day. Frankly you were lucky to get a single sale. If you don't ahev the budget you may be better trying to go viral on tik tok with a product.
Also the products weren't great. First one looked gimmicky and second one looked scummy. No matter how good your sites are and how professional they make a product seem, of the products seem gimmicky or scummy.........well, it's game over.
I will have to check out this ecom king guy.
Yea the products werent great
I love how dedicated you are. You seem to not get put off by not seeing any returns and you still keep going whilst investing money. Here is one thing I would maybe consider: Before testing each product and quickly moving on to the next one I would maybe think each product through more and decide if TikTok is even the right place to advertise it. Like you said the faucet was definitely not meant for TikTok and would definitely do better on facebook. I think you may have learned this lesson but wanted to point it out because you can save a lot of time and money if you properly think about each product beforehand. GReat videos though and keep it up!
Thank you very much!
Hey I think the problem wasn’t your ads or your website or the product itself but it just wasn’t a good match. For example the people that you’re going to have seeing your advertisement on tick-tock very young and even if they are older for example 20-year-olds or 22-year-olds they probably still live at home with their parents which means even though your product is interesting a 20-year-old who lives at home with their parents isn’t going to buy a faucet no matter how cool it looks.
That's true but I also targeted people above 20. I did 18-55+
your websites look great and you definitely are putting in the hard work Drop shipping just seems a lot more luck based now than it used to be years ago.
I definitely see where you are coming from but I can't let that stop me from trying you know
It's because everyone is doing it and every time someone becomes massively successful doing it they post a video on how they did it which just leads everyone to copy them making their method obsolete, rinse and repeat for 8 years
budget matters a lot.

Thank you my g I really appreciate the kind words! I will definitely keep going!💪
Mabey try advertising on Facebook, Instagram, or elsewhere. Somewhere, where people are less likely to scroll past it, Facebook generally has older users than tik tok.
Yea I'm moving to fb TikTok is stressing me out
Excellent video, thanks so much for all your efforts! ❤️ I’m no expert, and since I’m still working my normal 40 hours job, have little time, but I’ve been following (at first more for entertainment actually 🤣) Sarah from Wholesale TED, and with only an hour or two per week of effort put in my POD shop I make a sale now and then. It’s just a hobby for me, but if I had the time, I would follow her instructions for a drop ship store to the letter 😉
Wishing you all the best! 👍🙏
40 hours wow. dont give up on it"
😂 she somehow has thousands of ideas! ❤😂😂😂😂
Bro id just do organic posts and see what happens instead. Especially for tiktok. Cuts your costs down. And let's you tests more
true bro. testing is getting expensive😂. I'm giving organic a shot rn
Nice video man, can you tell me how you build your sites? They look really good. I appreciate
Thanks man. I just use the free Shopify themes and copy stuff from other cool looking websites
i see where you miss your imporvement, you could have a better website design testimonials make the website look Meh, your ad copy could be better too your videos are good
Thank you for the feedback man! I'll implement them on my next attempt
Bro i would first start with a few campaigns on fb of “view content” once I get enough of those I’d pas to “add to cart” campaign. And only than a purchase ad. You gotta understand that in most cases to begin with a purchase campaign won’t bring any result and will just be very costly as you could see. Start with view content campaign and the cos tower click will be most likely no more than 0.3. You need a lot of visitors to build effective data on Facebook which will be very costly with purchase ads that don’t convert. The cheapest way to “teach” Facebook about your audience is buy startingwith VC campaign. Hope that helps. Know that getting to a profitable point takes time and learning. It’s not all about your product and in most cases even a winning product takes time to make sales until you out it in front of the right people :)
Most people have said it's just a waste of money to optimize for an event other than the one you want. Some say otherwise. I don't think the ad strategy is as important as the product and marketing
So to be clear… you promoted a faucet and a thing for women above their 30s…. On tiktok? Is this where your target demographic is located? Did you try facebook, where such impulsive buyers may lurk? Peace ✌🏻
there are a lot of older people on tiktok
Yoo bro, I been doing dropship now 7 months whit a mentor of 2k, still not profitable bro.. it’s hard!! Nobody believes me, I work 6 days so I doing it all in the night hours… we keep going!!!
Wow 2k for a mentor and you aren't profitable? You need to get rid of that mentor😂
Im very new to all this I need help understanding about paying for ads? Is it optional and when you pay for ads what does it do I know it promotes you’re store or product but is there other ways ?
You don't have to pay for ads you can post for free on TikTok. If your video goes viral that's free promotion for your store. Paying for ads is a guaranteed way to get people to see your video
for the faucet the problem could’ve been the cost of it. since the price of 22 dollars was low considering a faucet from walmart cost around 30 dollars it didn’t come off as a premium product which is what the shop represents. in my opinion i think you shouldve tried increasing the price slowly maybe should’ve add 5 to 10 extra and see if that increase a costumers desire to buy
adding another comment usually faucets that are nice can range in the 100 to 200
Huh. you raise a good point. I guess cause I didnt know much abou faucets I underestimated the potential
Honestly, drop-shipping seems overrated. I probably will just stick with normal Ecomm
The only difference between the two is how you fulfill the orders
Great Content Too 🖤
Since the day I figured out how to earn over $8,000 a week from my home, I've been overjoyed.
Lol fair play
Website looks so good but the only thing you need to work on is PRODUCT
Make sure the product have something which can show result instantly like Galaxy light, Led air humidifier, back cracker and what i personally recommend is don't sleep on TikTok organic and run ads on facebook
TikTok organic won't be forever. use the time
Exactly my thoughts! we are in the best time to enter dropshipping especially with tiktok organic. I'm testing it rn for my next vid
i was planning to start a dropshiping site well this gave me more demotivation for it
Lool give it a try bro. You will fail but you will learn from it. If it was easy everyone would do it
I think that you don't need paid ads . Try to just post that video in the tiktok account , with the right hashtags at the right moment , it's free and a tiktok post could explode as an ads .
yea i'm trying organic tiktok too. so far the videos are doing bad but we'll see
I feel so bad for this guy. He is trying so hard, but he doesn't understand one very simple thing: "THOSE WHO CAN, DO. THOSE WHO CANNOT, TEACH." So a multi multi millionaire is going to stop what is giving him millions of dollars a month, to teach people he doesn't know how to make millions and millions of dollars? Why? Is it because he is a good guy and just wants to "help"? Haha. Use your brain.
lol
All the people I know who use tiktok, still live with mum and dad. They don't need to buy a faucet.
Target your audience, you're looking for homeowners who spend money, and like gadgets. Your next task is the hard one, you need to where to find em.
----
Also, and I'm being pretty pedantic here, but I'm just offering tips here, and a new perspective.
The colour scheme on the second site didn't look so good. And it was a bit of a turn off. Similarly, it went on a bit too long. I feel like a better format, and some company logos on the product would do much better.
But that doesn't mean you've failed, you haven't. You've learned what doesn't work, and now you can concentrate on find a new approach. The path to success is not straight forward, and you only learn from this. So I'd say you did really well.
Did you make money? No.
Did you go down the right path to get there? Yes.
So okay you didn't make money, but this is what we do. We dare to fail to gain rewards others don't dare to chase.
You got this bro!
There are a lot more people on TikTok that you think. A lot of old folk are on there. Yea I think you're right the site was a bit much. Thank you for sharing your tips!
Your Edits are super I just subs ❤️

This was depressing bro lol, even the background music is so touchy.all I can take is the quality of your video...😅

Hey Mickey thanks for your vids. May I ask what do you use to create your website?
Not making money dropshipping
So make videos about and make money
I hope you achieve your goals brother 🙏📈
hehehe thanks brother!
I don’t know if anyone mentioned it in the comments or I’m being silly but great video but if your advertising specific products to women who are 30+ I wouldn’t imagine that tiktok would be the best place for it as it seems a younger generations app. Just thought this might help.
I thought so too you know but I've seen people market to grandpas on there😂. But yea I'm definitely gonna be seeking stuff for younger peeps
I thought my CPM was high at £1.50 - £2. Are you in the UK if so how do you advertise to the US. I have been doing all ads on UK tiktok and I have had 27 sales in 3 days but still at a little bit of a loss because of the price of the product being low.
I hope you are cherishing those low cpms🥲. I'm not in UK rn. Just use a vpn when you are making the ad account and choose your country as US.
Hello bro first appreciate your effort towards it
Make sure before going for a marketing platforms
Saturated products is not succeeded with trending media platform
Bcoz people already well know to the products you show in this video bro
Check with Amazon before go for a product selection (people usually check the products with Amazon even though is a new in market so, make sure your products is not been listed in Amazon more than 2sellers (not with tons of reviews on Amazon)
Tiktok is not converting mostly comparatively with other platforms bro
This is for who have a low budget for dropshipping
Keep pushing bro👍🏻✔️
thank you for the advice bro. I will keep that in mind
“Boo you suck”🤣🤣 that was so good bro haha, love the edits & your humor ❤️🫡🔥
😂😂
Use google ads it’s people actually searching for you type of product rather than some random person that doesn’t care about it, it’s hard with tiktok ads bc it’s a cold market
im on the same boat :( ive spent so much running ads and 400 visits later no sales at all
might need to improve your site, offer, or product
Keep it up bro i already subscribed to you
I will man thanks!
I think this product will work good in fb . But in tiktok not that much cuz ( not wow product )
Yea I agree 💯
@@mikeyagain test it again pro and show us
How did you make them beautiful websites?
Haha just used the free Shopify themes and copied stuff from other beautiful websites
I really love and appreciate the way you show your failure journey too.
A normal person wouldn't have done this.
Thus , I'm not the only one failing. I'M NOT ALONE!!!
"i added 30 day money back guarantee to build trust", but do you actually do that??? it seems you create 10 webshops and then delete them! how do you give 30 days money back then if the online shop is gone? LOL
Have you checked out a guy called Jordan Messoud because I’m very worried about that guy he’s doing the same sort of things what other people are doing
But he goes around to all the UK celebrities and get them to jump on their social media platform and explain that they are with him so he can explain what he does. Please check him out and tell me if he’s a fraud
I also got to this point 😢.
How about ecom family academy.. Reggie.? Have you tried that course.. seems affordable.
How did you do with the product like did you find a supplier? And what would the shipping time be?
i used spocket for the faucet. took about two weeks
Keep your head high king, you are doing whilst a lot of people are busying sitting in front of the pc/phone and doing nothing.
#staystrong!
