What is your monthly income from dropshipping?

On average, we make around 10k net profit monthly, but it varies—a good month can hit 40k, while a bad one can dip to -5k. It’s definitely not consistent, even with a team and a system testing multiple products daily. What helps us is using spy tools, but not the ones everyone’s using. We always look for those flying under the radar. Right now, we use SpyTrends.net and found our last four winners there. Hope that helps, good luck. Answer from Amine_ik on reddit.com

Just trying to know how much people can earn :-)

we manage a small portfolio of stores, but for reference, one of our stores that generated $48,000 in revenue this month brought us just under $16,000 in profit. That store is 4 months old. Hope this helps!

r/dropship on Reddit: How much money are people actually making from this?

June 26, 2022 -

I’d like to get a realistic idea of what I can expect from diving into this. Are there folks out there clearing over $200K per year? $500K? More? Based on your knowledge of the drop shipping scene, what’s the low / high end of the spectrum here, and what’s the median?

90% of the people that try dropshipping fail within one year.

I tested dropshipping for 2.5 years and worked on it almost full time for at least a year. During that time I was also a digital nomad and mixed with a lot of people working and earning online. To date I have never met a person in real life who was making consistent income from drop shipping. I think the best idea is to use drop shipping just during the testing phase and then move to storing and fulfilling your own inventory ASAP. I had my best year after moving to my own brand and products this time last year. 229k in sales and 67k profit. Not amazing results but I’m a one man show and have done everything myself using the skills that I picked up while testing drop shipping. Hoping to double that in the next year but it’s really not easy. Can’t seem to get any campaigns to work on Facebook and it’s driving me nuts…

Curious to see how much everyone has made and how long everyone's been in the game. Also if you want to share, what was your winning product?

Wait you guys are making money ?

I have made over $400k net profit. Started 3 years ago but never saw results into 2021 after hundreds of products. No real big player would share their store. Why would I? I have 3 stores currently that do from $500-$1500 net profit a day currently but they vary alot due to inconsistencies with tik tok and organic videos. Its actually super unlikely you would be able to really compete with big players due to capital. Tbh I got lucky with my product & have build a long term brand & I was $-20k prior to finding it. Its not easy but it took 3 years of consistent work for me. Now I could look at a product and instantly know if it even has a chance. Cheers

r/dropship on Reddit: How much are you making consistently

June 22, 2023 -

So obviously I want a passive income like everyone else, and drop shipping appears as this fantastic way, but before I invest anymore time in it, can I hear from some redditors who’s making how much, as when you YouTube them, they either make millions or nothing, there’s no in between

A few comments here are saying XX% never make money etc. I don’t know if that’s true, but I do know I started a while ago with 0 knowledge or experience in anything to do with it, and now I’m making money with it. Fair to say I have put in a lot of work, and learned everything from one of/ the best place. But I simply wouldn’t believe anyone if they said they’d honestly tried for a year and made no money. I don’t see how that would be possible, if they were actually trying. It’s not ‘passive’ income though. It’s not loads of work like 12 hour days either, unless you choose it to be, but it’s not necessary. You do need to put in some work every day if you really want it to keep growing. Business and your skills.

I understand why "gurus" sells dropshipping as passive income, because people are looking for a way to earns millions of billions without doing anything at all. So to everyone that wants to start with dropshipping because you think that will automagically earn money while you sleep without putting in tons of work: You won't. I'm not into dropshipping myself, I'm into affiliate marketing and blogging, but I understand dropshipping and what it takes to succeed. "Gurus" in blogging sells the same "passive income" dream. "Start a blog and earn money while you sleep". My sites earns around $2000/mo and I haven't worked on them for a couple of months. They are pretty passive right now. But I put hundreds of hours into my sites before I got to this point. In the beginning (first 1-2 years) my "hourly rate" was probably less than $1. So much work and not so much money. For the first 9-12 months I was loosing money because domain, hosting, plugins, etc. costed more than I earned. But then when it takes off and you learn how to do things better/faster etc, and you will start to earn more and more with less work. Now I've made maybe $40k in total and spent maybe 400 hours in total. But next month it's $42k, then $44k, etc (and still slowly growing because SEO takes time). I can also sell my sites for a 35-40x multiplier, that is around $70-80k in the bank the day I don't want to keep them anymore. When I look at that hourly rate for my work, that is "passive income" for me. Not that you don't have to work at all, but that you don't exchange time for a fixed amount of money like you do if you work for a salary. Lets say I earn around $4000/mo at my job, but if I don't show up, I don't get my salary. If I don't work on my sites (which I haven't done for a couple of months) I still earn money. People that earns good money from dropshipping (or basically anything "passive") have almost always put in sooo much time to get there, especially in the beginning. Another comment here talked about working 12 hour days, and that is what it takes to compete, especially today when so many people wants to do dropshipping. I started my first site in December 3,5 years ago, and when it was 7 months old that summer, I had a 4 weeks vacation, and I spent maybe 3 weeks working from when I woke up till late nights on my site. And that was when I was still loosing money on it because it costed more than I earned... That is like "anti-passive income" at that stage 😅 But I'm glad that I didn't stop working on them. So TLDR: If you want to succeed with dropshipping (or anything else "passive"), be very prepared to spend a lot of time learning and doing stuff in the beginning. You will probably do some things wrong and learn from it. But you will 100% guaranteed spend more time then you think before it starts to get "passive".

r/dropshipping on Reddit: Is dropshipping really as profitable as people claim?

October 23, 2024 -

I’ve seen a lot of people claiming they make $100k+ per day through dropshipping, but if it’s that profitable, why are they selling courses instead of just focusing on scaling their own businesses? Do they really make money from dropshipping, or is most of their income coming from selling the courses?

Also, is dropshipping something you can actually live off of, or is it more of a side hustle while working a 9 to 5? I’ve heard margins can be really low, so I’m wondering if it’s even sustainable long-term. I’d love to hear from anyone with real experience in this industry!

The first thing to understand is they dropshipping is the fulfilment method rather than a buisness model. Dropshipping has a low barrier to entry with relatively low starting costs. IMO, using dropshipping as the method in which to fulfil orders shouldn't be a long term goal because it doesn't really scale well. What you will find is people who are running successful ecom businesses doing 100k per month perhaps started with dropshipping to test products and establish a customer base and build a brand but soon transitioned to buying stock of a successful product to be able to scale. This is my long term plan. I'm in the beginning phases of product testing using certain strategies with dropshipping as the fulfilment menthod. I plan to build my brand and scale to a certain point with dropshipping.

You have to understand that selling a course is their way of scaling their business, you just have to accept that. Once people hit a certain milestone and genuinely feel like they've mastered a skill then it's okay for them to want to transfer their skills or knowledge and make more money for that. It happens in every industry and pays really well. Dropshipping is amazing and teaches you so much but some people may not want to have the hassle of running such business long term, they may choose to sell their store, go into another industry or coach people.

r/dropship on Reddit: Is anyone actually making a profit ? I'm coming to the conclusion drop shipping is mostly crap!

December 4, 2023 -

I'm flopping over and over again... I've made sales but for the time I'm putting in, paying for ads it's just not worth it.. getting super frustrated..

Mostly people posting on here their sites are a flop! Please share your experiences

You're 100% right. I put a solid 2 years into trying to get dropshipping to work. I was convinced that I was just 1 'winning product' away from success 😆 I even ended up paying agencies for help, but they ended up being low effort drop servicing bros... who outsourced all the work to cheap fiverr gigs. The only people who seem to be making money from dropshipping are the YouTube 'gurus', course sellers, spy apps etc.. They're selling shovels for a gold rush that ended years ago... The main issue is that people don't need to buy from random little weird stores that appear on Facebook. They've either been burned by lazy dropshippers, scammed by one of the thousands of fraud ads on Facebook, or are savvy enough to just go to aliexpress, TEMu, wish etc to get the same junk item for a much better price. Tough love but I hate seeing people donate MORE money to that Zuckerberg asshole. I ended up working 2 extra part time jobs and also did an indiegogo crowdfunding campaign so I could manufacture my own products in a profitable but 'uncool' niche. That was a couple of years ago and next year I'm expecting to hit 6 or maybe even 7 figures if my plans for 2024 work out. I'm 51 and basically unemployable due to being autistic and ADHD. If I can do it, any of you guys can. Especially with all of the AI and other amazing tools available now 😀

Yeah, I’ve been making a profit for the last seven years. I think the biggest mistake people make is targeting the wrong market. Avoid the big ones—CPMs are too high, and conversions aren’t like they used to be in the early dropshipping days. Instead, try markets like the Netherlands/Belgium (NL/BE), Scandinavia (NO/SW/FI), or Southern Europe (PT, IT, ES). Not every product’s a winner there, but your chances are definitely higher. Also, I’d skip popular spy tools like Minea or Pipiads—too many people browsing the same ads. I personally use SpyTrends.net It’s still relatively unknown, and their method for spotting winners is pretty unique. Found my last two there. Good luck!

Like seriously

So far I’ve made -$1,265.34. Been fun.

Not everyone makes the money but some people do make serious money. Dropshipping is just the beginning to get a proof of concept. If you want to make serious money you will have to move from dropshipping to fullfeldge ecommerce business with fulfillment solutions. I have met people who make 1m+$ a year from these businesses. Dropshipping is very easy to start. Barrier to entry is super low. Anyone with little but of skills and money can get into it and test his/her luck out. Dropshipping is also one of most terrible businesses out there. Bad quality products, customer refunds, chargebacks, low margins, ad account bans, scams are very common. Sole dropshipping won't take you anywhere in long term. You need to constantly learn and move forward.

I’ve been doing some research and I am really interested in starting dropshipping. I understand that to actually be successful and make good profits a lot of hard work, effort, and time need to go into it. I just wanted to know does it pay off do people really make 10k+ in a month? How much do you guys profit in a month? Do you have any tips/tricks/things to avoid when I start? Where do you advise starting, I hear a lot of talk about Shopify

As I'm an eBay dropshipper I make $6k-$8k per month. My advice for you, If you are new then first find the right supplier and right products as well then you can make money easily and I also provide my services to setup dropshipping site. If you need any kinds of consultancy, you can contact me for absolutely free

Thanks

I just started over a month ago and I've made around $500 in revenue. I really hit it hard with Google AdWords. But I haven't made enough money to pay for the AdWords, as the margins are slim with Dropshipping and you need volume to justify Dropshipping. Overall I'm still very much in the hole but over time as you learn more about marketing and who your target market is, you should eventually make a profit. You'll want to expand outside of AdWords as well. My tip would be to learn and read as much as you can about marketing and advertising. You'll need heavy volume of people visiting your site, as only a few will convert. Another tip would be to make your site as conversion ready as possible. Just Google, how to make my site conversion ready. Hope that helps!

Just a quick question, curious to see the range of people who have success in dropshipping.

I have been drop shipping for 4 months, with only the last month or so being serious.

On my website, i’ve been making around $60.49 profit per sale after taxes, fees, ad spend, etc.

This gives me a healthy budget for ad campaigns.

Last night i had my biggest profit/sale ever, made $133 profit off a single sale last night.

Just curious to see what you guys are doing, open to any feedback

Charge 3x product cost. 1x for product 1x for ads 1x for profit

When I was doing dropshipping, I did at least 3x. But now, I take into accounts, if customer will: - Buy multiple pieces (upsell) - Buy more products with it (crossell) - Come back again for more (consumable? higher LTV) - etc.. Products like menstrual underwear for example have CRAZY margins and LTV (life-time value). Brands like THINX are printing. Same for bodywear, cosmetics etc.. Now when aiming to build a brand, I want a maximum 1.25 break-even roas after all fees from the LTV of a customer. That means, I only have to make more than $1.25 for every $1 spent on ads to be profitable.. that's wild. That also means you can scale like crazy at a stable 1.85-2 road and PRINT.

I see a lot of anecdotal stories that seem too good to be true: start from nothing, earn 10k per week within 2 years.

Suppose someone were to start with 1,000$ - will you breakthrough or just end up loosing it all?
How much money does one have to invest to get the business to run reliably?
What all do you need? A website, advertising, bulk buying deals etc.?
What are some very important tips that are often ignored in online courses / Youtube tutorials?

For those that have managed to dropship successfully, I want to hear the real stories that led you there, including all the negatives and potential pitfalls.

Don't do it unless your willing to obsess over being successful with it and eventually build a real brand one day.

Do not proceed unless you are 100% dedicated to building an actual brand with DS as the logistical function to that brand. If you’re looking for a quick buck or a casual ‘side hustle’ like some of the suburban soccer Moms that want extra vacation money then you’re going to regret it.

Try your best to estimate.

Start affiliate marketing and understand e-commerce. Shopify collab and TikTok shop is good start. Amazon influencer program is amazing Then dabble in dropshipping. Trust me even if you are successful it is a complete nightmare handeling back office work. Customer service , chargeback fraud, inventory issues , paying your bills. You know stuff you never hear about

A lot of people below are giving basic start-up costs, but you'll find as you go there a lot to learn, and a lot of great tools to help blossom your business. Because in everyone's goal is to create a legit business that doesn't get sued here are some costs (CAD) to consider: - business license (in Canada think it costs $50 for Sole Prop, vs $300 for Corporation) -Lawyer and accounting fees, you may want some help deciding which business license to take, and the accounting that's involved. -Business Bank Account. Free, but certain business accounts cost monthly. -Technology (Shopify) starting cost is $1 for 3 Months, than another $400 for annual minimum. Theme cost around $50-$100. You may want to invest in SEO, freelance design, or spend on Ads - do your own research, along with Apps to better improve your site's performance and usability such tools as Email marketing / automation, etc. -Other Tools such as Canva, Designer tools, Stock images. Above is probably more money you'll need to spend in the first year if you're serious about the business. But if you're just starting off, $1 is enough. Shopify has amazing support and community that help you with your sale with $1 but I just gave you a list of things that you may also consider while growing.

I been watching drop shipping videos for a while and the videos always claim to make $40,000 a month with in like 6 months of work. What’s it actually like and how are your story’s?

Honestly, I tried on and off for 2-3 years but with really low effort. Had like 1-2 sales on a store. Stopped and tried again after 3 months. Never been profitable. Started in May this year very serious and consistenly working on 1 store with all the knowledge and skills I acquired from previous failed stores. Made 1,8k in revenue last month. With profit this time. Not much but was happy to be profitable. Could make even more If I applied some strategies on the back end but lost some motivation and got lazy. It's a really hard business model where you really got to want it.. Hard work is not enough. You have to be persisent after each setback ( You will get many ) and you have to even be willing to lose sleep. Even relationships could take a hit because I worked constantly and didn't give many attention to my gf and thats not good. And oh yeah be willing to lose money in the process..

There are no set numbers that are likely; your products, store, marketing, experience, effort etc. will all play into it... plus a little luck (which isn't luck, it's just those previous things coming into play without you knowing/planning it). Anyway, my last venture: Month 1: 10k revenue / 8k spent / 2k profit Months 2-6: 50k revenue/ 20k spent / 30k profit Months 7-12: 70k revenue / 22k spent / 48k profit Useful to note I did not need 8k to get started; sales started to come when I had not spent anything on marketing, just the cost of the domain. When sales came in, I would immediately re-invest. Plus there were a few teething issues with returns, which hit my wallet quite hard as I didn't handle them correctly. Things hitting a plateau around 6 months was not due to lack of opportunity; it could have kept multiplying quite rapidly, however I took on a full-time salaried role around the 5 month mark due to personal reasons. This is ultimately why I closed down the store just after a year; it took way too much time/attention and I really needed my "career" to remain sturdy at this point. I am planning to dive back in now I have some space and hope I can replicate the success I had previously, but keep it growing for longer. EDIT: I have had some DMs already and it's worth noting my full-time role is as UX Lead on some of the world's biggest brands. I have ~15 years of professional experience to help me do well and it's crucial. I tried dropshipping in 2006 as a dumb kid and made absolutely zero. Multiple times.

I hear a lot about dropshipping, but it seems like the only people saying it works are the people selling courses. Is there any real people profiting off of this, and is it truly passive income?

This is not passive income. You need to do product research, ad research, marketing, fulfill orders, etc. Also, dropshipping is more like arbitrage with ads. If you can get your ads down as well as have the spending to back it, yes, you can be profitable. I'm sure some of the courses provide value but not enough to justify any cost. I'd recommend trial by fire. Start learning. Fail 4x. 5x. I failed 5+ times before I even made $100 profit in dropshipping. You need to learn what works and doesn't know how to build out a nice site, how to advertise your product properly, how to make sure your landing page converts, etc

Yes people are making money. The problem is people think this business is a get rich quick scheme, and start whining and crying when they actually have to put effort into their stores and learning how to operate them. These stupid youtube course salesmen don't help the problem, because they perpetuate this idea that your first store is going to be a success on day 1. Just like with any business, it takes years of practice, and years of failures to learn from. This isn't against you, OP, I appreciate you posting here because it's obvious that you and a lot of people need to hear this, but I'm honestly getting a little tired of the mountains of people who are here thinking dropshipping is the next big crypto-tier cash grab. I hate to break it to everyone, but drop shipping is just running a business. And any legitimate business requires hours and hours of daily work. It's not just a website you open up in 30 minutes to make passive income while you sit around playing video games.
