Daniel, Africa
$80K-$150K per month with 12 dropshipping stores
I choose the dropshipping business mainly because I found it easy to start without inventory and because of my skills in Facebook marketing which offered a huge market. I usually set prices to cover mainly my ad costs and store plans and still make at least 50% if possible in profits.”

Tony, Mexico
$42,100+ in the month of the first sale
I had some trouble getting a new job after my internship in the automotive industry. I knew this wasn’t the life I wanted for myself, so I started looking for other options. I am thankful to the many “Noes” I received, because it led me to a new challenge: being an entrepreneur. At the beginning of my journey I had no experience in ecommerce, I’ve never sold anything online, or in person. But, it couldn’t stop me from starting!”

Team of entrepreneurs, Czech Republic
$10,900+ daily revenue: these guys hacked the system!
Dropshipping has 3 advantages that changes the status quo. Firstly, you don’t need any warehouse and an employee for fulfilling orders. Secondly, you are not limited by your cashflow, you don’t have to order and “wait” till some customer buy your goods. And the last one – you can import more than million products without stocking them in! Basically, you are selling goods to customers by clicking to “Place order automatically” lol.”

Felix, Germany
$350,000+ in a year with 3 dropshipping stores
Around a week after my first shop went online, I booked an Instagram shoutout.
And so, I was in the cinema. I knew that an Instagram influencer will bring up a shoutout while I watched the movie (“The Arrival”, btw). At half of the movie, I looked at my phone and couldn’t believe it, the shoutout was up and the orders came dropping in like cheesecakes! I was so happy and proud of myself at this moment.”

Running a low-investment business while working full time

A full-time mom running a profitable independent business
“I had a good job, but after I had my children, I stopped working and that was when I started looking for the opportunities to work from home.

By now, I already have a number of trusted suppliers I partner with! I hope to grow my business to a larger scale in the future.”

$13,087 in 30 days with 4 online stores
“I quit my job because of problems at work and started to invest my time into my first store. I started to receive orders and understood the potential of the whole dropshipping topic. I had a dilemma: to find a new job or to risk everything and try to make money on my own. Eventually, my second store started to receive more sales then the first one. In my 4th month, I made the same money as working for somebody else. I didn’t look for a new job.”

A single mom working from home while keeping a part-time job
“It all started in January 2019 when I was looking for a business activity to run together with my part-time work.

First steps of dropshipping by a work-at-home mom

I won’t lie, next sales were not that easy!”

$52,000+ in 7 months of dropshipping
“I was looking for sources of income to become more independent in college.
I worked for months without success and tested tons of products. But trust me, I learned a lot from my failures to reach where I have reached today. Nothing goes to waste, you just have to stay till the end, which I did – and at the age of 21 I currently have a net worth of $50,000 and no liabilities.

Dropshipping chosen after trying all eCommerce venture types
“I think I know almost all Internet money making methods (haha). I have tried many of them, from clicking, gaming, blogging, etc. to Forex, poker, bitcoin, MLM and many others. None of them was enough to help me make a living. I’ve heard about dropshipping before and I liked the great bonus of not having to manage stock. But I thought it’s too hard to start, and I didn’t have any proper experience in ecommerce. So, I thought it’s only for entrepreneurs and businessmen.”
