  • Dropshipping vs Ecommerce, what is the difference?
    I've noticed recently that there is some confusion between Dropshipping and Ecommerce, so I decided to sit down and create a video which explains the difference between these two types of ecommerce to help you decide which one could be the best for you and your business.
    www.ecommerce-gold.com/
    In this video, I not only explain the differences between these two business methods but also some pros and cons for both as neither is perfect and you can check out the timestamps for all of these sections below:
    00:00 Intro
    00:32 What is Dropshipping?
    01:21 Dropshipping Pros
    02:56 Dropshipping Cons
    07:52 How Does Ecommerce Work?
    08:24 Ecommerce Pros
    11:28 Ecommerce Cons
    13:36 Which is best?
    I hope you found this video helpful and gave you a better understanding of the differences between these two business models. If you did find it helpful and would like to support the channel, you can do so by buying me a coffee, which is very much appreciated:

    Si vienes aquí desde Latinoamérica, te lo resumo así nomas:
    Dropshipping no está mal, pero ten en cuenta estas desventajas:
    - Vas a tener márgenes magros de beneficio (compras por unidad a un precio más alto, compites con los precios de amazon con precios más bajos)
    - Hay mucha competencia (debido a que cualquiera puede empezar con poco dinero)
    - No puedes testear la calidad del productos (sólo probarlo con alguna muestra)
    - Dependes completamente de tu proveedor (en el caso de que remueva el producto de su stock deberás hacer un reintegro)
    - Vas a lidiar con tiempos de envío extensos hasta la entrega del producto.

    El Dropshipping en realidad se trata de cómo agregar valor al producto.

    Really well explained thanks. I'm about to launch my POD website but looking to get into drop shipping this summer from the UK. I've seen some ads/courses pop up on here in the last few months to do drop shipping but from the UK so going to look into that instead of from China.

    • @EcommerceGold

      No problem and hope it was helpful. I've seen the same ads but haven't looked into it in too much detail but I wouldn't be surprised if the price per product wasn't higher for UK based suppliers due to the higher overheads here in the UK. I personally think POD is better than dropshipping as you are providing unique designs on the products, rather than generic stuff that you do with dropshipping.

    The content is amazing, but i just wanted to ask about how to ship the product to a customer if he is in another country?

    • @EcommerceGold
      @EcommerceGold  Рік тому

      Thank you. Find a shipping service that offers international shipping.

  • @winniefromsu

    Can you make a tutorial how to start from the really beginning of dropshipping??? Example how to make your own website, how to put the sales on your website etc???

    • @winniefromsu
      @winniefromsu Рік тому

      I really wanna start with my friends but we just don't know how, we have seen a lot of vid and there's many ways to do it but still don't know how to start

    • @EcommerceGold
      @EcommerceGold  Рік тому

      I can't do that as I don't do dropshipping but my advice would be to break it down into component parts rather than looking for 1 video to tell you everything, so look for:
      • A video on sourcing products
      • A video on how to build a site with your chosen platform (shopify, woocommerce etc)
      • A video on how to market your store, most likely with Facebook ads

    Very good but u can buy the product that u are thinking of dropshipping with before u sell to check the quality and also contact ppl that are working in the supplier but still very good

    • @EcommerceGold
      @EcommerceGold  10 місяців тому +1

      You can buy the product before you sell it and I recommend that you do but you can't keep checking the quality unless you order the product on a regular basis

    What if your supplier has a longer shipping time? Is it better to just have the inventory ?

    • @EcommerceGold
      @EcommerceGold  Рік тому +2

      Generally, yes as you want the time between the customer placing the order and receiving it to be a short as possible

    Does anyone know if you can do drop-shipping on eBay? Thanks in advance.

    • @EcommerceGold
      @EcommerceGold  Рік тому

      You can but Ebay fees can really eat into your profits, which will probably be tight on dropshipped products and Ebay doesn't like slow delivery times, just something to think about.

      😂 guessing you might have done things differently then?

  • @SenbonTv
    @SenbonTv 4 місяці тому

    But why wont your supplier directly went after your customer? I always wonder why this kind of business model work.

    • @SenbonTv
      @SenbonTv 4 місяці тому

      Also, that's mean you will always be slower against competitor who actually keep inventory on their own storage.

    • @EcommerceGold
      @EcommerceGold  4 місяці тому

      Depending on how you have it set up, the supplier might not have access to the customers email address, just the mailing address. A lot of suppliers also don't want to deal direct with the end customer as they can be very problematic.

    Dropshopping is an ecommerce business. Because it still gets us money by using the internet. It just doesnt provide as much profit as it would if we ordered wholesale in bulk and fullfilled the orders ourselves. If you dont believe me just ask the Mo state revenue office. They will tell you that a dropshipping business is an ecommerce retail business. I know, i had to get my tax permit for retail to legally sell in my state.

    • @EcommerceGold
      @EcommerceGold  2 місяці тому

      I don't say it isn't an ecommerce business, I'm simply explaining the difference between dropshipping and traditional ecommerce.
      But just to be clear, because something gets you money online doesn't mean it's ecommerce.

    Dropshiping falls under the e-commerce umbrella.....dropshiping falls under the consumer to consumer pillar of e-commerce....I didn't watch your video fully just saw the thumbnail and it just looked off....

      Ok but it might be worth watching the video before commenting
