Really appreciate what you are doing for community! I remember the beginning of my journey... I was selling only gadgets back then 😁(a whole bunch of them). Usually I was able to find them on wz dropshipping. Man, those were the days!!
Finally, someone who gets it. Dropshipping is a really good business model, however the work and capital you need to put in to make it a success is underrated. Then the fact that you have no control over product means that success can also be quite short-lived. The process on this video is really great. Its capital intensive to start but its a long term business model that can easily make a multi million dollar business
Recently subbed and binge watched your videos Andrew, really inspiring story and success you have gone through. Now I not only want to transform my home office, I also want to start an online business 😂
Super seller. My kids have asked me to start an e-commerce business. I buy almost everything from Amazon and even send the link to friends to but the same items. I can now start my own business 🙏🙏🙏
FIRST! This is something I’ve been thinking about for some time (as you know, Andrew). I just love the idea of creating a product that I’ve had total control over from day one. Another great video!
@@Kal.El1 I'm in there too, haven't logged on in a while but I've seen your insightful posts in the community time to time. Didn't recognize your username
Is it wrong to start in dropshipping, to save some money than to proceed as you said? I mean after saving some money, to start working on my own product with some manufacturers? The thing is I don't have enough money to pay a good product designer, than to invest in the first sample until it gets perfect and so on. I am just curious what would be your approach in this situation. :)
Thanks heaps. starting from scratch is daunting, as i am finding out. this video has nailed it for me. with the process to follow to at least begin the journey of nranding a product/s for my new bizz venture. a definate lightbulb moment thank you
I made around 10k in sales the first month but I did fat research did it my own way quit my job did this full time tbh if u don't have time for it its really really hard to get that first sale a lot of these youtbers don't teach you the right way trust me
Excellent idea. I have been thinking same actually. More value and take each customer as best friend. Kinda like that. And of course best product. Seen nowhere else.
You forgot about scammers in dropshipping. The system is really good but stripe and paypal dont care about sellers. I had bad experience when some dude opened dispute in paypal after he got product saying that he got not his product. My colleague one morning found -5000 in stripe as some dude opened dispute ant took all goods. This is sad but anybody can buy anything, add some crap in box and later open dispute to get back their money.
Thanks for the great idea. How would you recommend we protect our product idea working with suppliers? If it's a great product idea, can't the supplier you work with then just sell it on alibaba or other platforms?
Because there's very little incentive to switch business models if they're an established supplier already selling to many clients. This and the fact that it's much easier said than done for them to actually execute on your idea/vision.
@@AndrewEthanZengthanks for your answer although I'm not sure I understand. If they've already created the product with you, isn't there no additional effort to list this product among their other products on alibaba? Thus they could easily offer your product to other alibaba customers who could flood the market with the same product?
I'm just starting to open my business on Shopify but I need a mentor and I'm having trouble finding one so if there's anybody out there that would like to donate their time to help aging veteran open up her Shopify store that would be wonderful.
Tried this. They say you are the only one selling it. Then they sell it anyway under various sellers. For a fraction of the money. It is the best way to get your stuff bootlegged. It is instantly bootlegged as a service. It is included. You get the full package, guaranteed.
Thanks for watching!

I still like dropshipping as a side hustle
@@jaydn4720 I like the idea, I tried it but fb restricted my personal ad account

Hey bro I’m just starting out, any advice?
Thanks for sharing!
Where do you find products now?

Really do appreciate it!
so branded dropshipping?
Yup
You're still one of the rare few channels that give useful and guided tutorials instead of mindless rambling, thank you! :)
That's more a next step than an alternative

I recognize that profile pic, you're in Andrew's Ecommerce Mastery?
@@ivanpalovic9930 yes, I am. Great community and course.

You two are both fast inside the Mastery classroom and now in the comments here haha!
@@ivanpalovic9930 Happy to help, man 👍🏽
We'd love to see more ecom tutorials on alibaba in detail please! Seems like the way to go nowaday
Thank you for this solid information🙏🏽❤️
I’m so glad i found your channel!
How do you apply for patents for these improved ideas? or do you need patents at all? What if your new idea gets stolen...
Hi @ethan, Do you recommend starting with dropshipping or create a brand and buy in stock from the go?
How to design the product is the question😎
This is great!
I am definitely going to try this, it seems to be great for the long-term.
I love your setup 🙌

You can do it! Good luck!
Yuuuuuupp... you create and we dropship that same product thanks to Alibaba and of course you 😉
Nice work!
SUPER SELLER!!!! This was well needed of notes. Really gonna make a big effect onto my business more
Realistically, how hard is it to start dropshipping to make like 4-5k profit at the end of the month? I dont even need 100k in revenue per month.
Typed this in like a minute, so apologies for any grammar mistakes
I made around 10k in sales the first month but I did fat research did it my own way quit my job did this full time tbh if u don't have time for it its really really hard to get that first sale a lot of these youtbers don't teach you the right way trust me
i can teach u for free
@@EddieTheGoat1561 Plzz teach me I freaking hate my job
@@HollywoodClipzz if your willing to put the time i promise you ill get you out of your job
you're 100% on point buddy
Dude is that a shure SM7B you’re talking from so far away? Do you got your gain set to like 150dB?
Well said and well explained, so fascinating the process of selling products to the world
You always have great content and tyvm for your informative vids👏
Excellent idea.
I have been thinking same actually.
More value and take each customer as best friend.
Kinda like that. And of course best product. Seen nowhere else.
Thanks for sharing your video. Any thoughts on Fulfillman and cj? or ali?
A BIG problem i already see is that most of these top selling products already have patents. How do you get around that so you don't get sued?
Thanks for this information ☺️

I used PayPal before and a guy opened dispute, so I found -2000
So drop shipping
U pay then receive sales right away !!
Any ideas how this might work for print on demand? like how can I use alibaba for a clothing store?
How do you test a product and scale? Open audience without targeting or targeted audience?
Great content as always!
In the beginning, you say "dropshipping is not a business model". Yet, at 2:50, you say "this company uses dropshipping model"? What is it then?
You bring so much value to your audience
Super seller 🔥 Amazing video
Thank you 🙌

@@spiikedude great question. I’m curious as well.
@@spiikedudecommunicate with your suppliers and if you sell a certain amount have them sign an agreement to not sell to other clients
@@FITLIVEX who would ensure enforcing that agreement in such case!?
love the vids
Before sending your spec sheets, how do you look to protect your IP?
Probably using a VPN would be best
@@justingiesy5654 by IP I mean intellectual property.
just✍️be✍️an✍️inventor✍️
You, my friend, are so USEFUL and HELPFUL!
So basically start a private label?
Yup
I'm just starting to open my business on Shopify but I need a mentor and I'm having trouble finding one so if there's anybody out there that would like to donate their time to help aging veteran open up her Shopify store that would be wonderful.
hopefully everyone goes away drop-shipping because I'm taking over
I still like dropshipping as a side hustle!
Same I just started my store first time, hopefully it goes well
@@LuckyJay817 goodluck! Remember it takes time.
@@ryanhanson937 yeah, thank you man. Good luck to you too.
@@LuckyJay817 much appreciated bro. If you need help with anything let me know 🤙🏼
Major downside to dropshipping - people generally don't want cheap junk from China
Fantastic, what Is the best product now to sell?
marketing > product you pick ...focus on improving your ads and marketing and youll sell just about anything
@@jasperreid4296 do you sell??
@@jasperreid4296 couldn’t agree more. It’s all about how you market and execute the product.
The stuff he's saying... It's good if you're Chinese looking and can speak it.
Sick content. We implemented these strategies and did 3.4 million last month.
I surpassed the wealth of elon musk and jeff bezos combined last night.
Informative,
When you order your created product to a supplier, will you be getting sole ownership or right to sell this product?
Tried this. They say you are the only one selling it. Then they sell it anyway under various sellers. For a fraction of the money. It is the best way to get your stuff bootlegged. It is instantly bootlegged as a service. It is included. You get the full package, guaranteed.
Great video and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Anytime Carlos!
@@carlosmartinez4811 hola!
