Pre-built dropshipping stores Has anyone tried them before? If so, is it a hardcore scam or are they actually profitable? I mean, if those were actually profitable, they'd be running it themselves & raking in lots & lots of money, no? Doubt many are actual "scams", but it's just as case of them selling shovels & pickaxes, and you finding your gold mountain somewhere. It's guaranteed profits for them, but no guarantee for you. I don't want to waste money, but I am clueless a niche. I feel like I can nail the marketing part, but not so much actually building my store and knowing what to sale. I'm thinking of having a company build my store for me at this point. I don't want to take the seemingly easier way and have it go belly up after investing in a company to build the website for me. But I also feel like if I get it professionally made and have them do the building up for me I might have a better chance of turning a profit on everything. What do you guys think? If you don't know which niche to pick, or what product to sell, or how you want to present yourself (via your store) - then you may need to rethink the whole venture. Completely relying on a single company to help you with all of those, is near guaranteed to be a failure, and a waste of your money. You need to think really hard on what you actually want to do. If you feel you'll excel in marketing, then perhaps you could consider becoming a freelance marketer, and working with various stores to promote them? If you prefer going it completely on your own, then your best bet would be to slow down, and go through it from square one. This means finding out the niche/product(s) you want to get into. Typically you can start from a place of experience or interest, and expand from there. You then thoroughly research the audience who are interested in those product(s), and figuring everything out about them. Then you also do the same for your potential competitors of the niche. Everything you find out from both, can then be used to start building your brand image and store. From text to colors, from imagery to style, from products to afterservice - everything has to be based on your research findings. And if it fails? Still cool, because you'd have learned how to do research, what to look for, how to handle technical parts of running the business, and more. Absolutely useful for starting your next venture. If you hired a company to handle all of that for you, then if you failed, you'd have learned no useful skills, and have a lighter wallet. Invest in yourself. More on reddit.com
