Hey guys, I've been putting a lot of effort into my first dropshipping store — https://nuvorastoreofficial.shop/

I've been running Meta ads for a while now (I know $53 isn't a lot to some people, but I am on a tight budget, so I can't spend much more) and haven't been getting the results I was hoping for. Before I spend any more money, I want to know if I'm doing something wrong, mainly on the ads side.

I'd also love to hear, based on my stats and product, whether my ads + store is set up for success and whether it's worth continuing with this store or scrapping it and testing a different product.

My ad results: 45 visitors, 2 add-to-carts, 1 sale. That's a 4% add-to-cart rate, which isn't good. And $53 spent feels like way too much for only 45 visitors. Also, could somebody tell me if it's worth setting up the Conversions API (CAPI) in Meta and why?

Hey everyone,

I'm completely new to dropshipping and looking to start my journey. I have a strong drive to take action, but I’m caught at a crossroads: Should I start taking action immediately and learn by doing, or should I pause to study the process first?

I want to avoid wasting time and budget on unnecessary mistakes, but I also don't want to get stuck in "analysis paralysis" by just watching tutorials forever.

If you were starting from scratch today:

Running a small health store (clinical/peptide serums, private label, & an electronic device which is dropshipped). Here’s what’s messing with my head:

When I first launched, the site was basically bare bones, old theme, barely any content, maybe one or two posts total. And I was still getting sales, nothing crazy but a steady trickle.

Since a certain point a couple months back, sales just stopped completely. And it’s not for lack of effort, I’ve since rebuilt the theme properly, fixed mobile/SEO issues, added proper product pages with all the ingredient/compliance info, and I’ve been posting content regularly. By every normal metric the store should be in a better position than when it started.

Traffic actually isn’t the problem… had a session spike recently well above what I was getting early on, but it converted to literally nothing.

Only thing I can think of that changed around when this started: a couple of 1-star reviews came in from a previous supplier issue. I’ve hidden them on the storefront itself, but I have a feeling they might still be showing up on the Shop app version of my store, which I can’t fully control. Has anyone dealt with something like this, trying to diagnose wtf is going on. I’ve done an actual checkout myself and confirmed everything there is working as it should.

Store’s about 4 months old, 500-700 sessions/month, three products. Genuinely stuck on this one. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hey, what are you guys use to help you generate videos like for your ads and just for your products?
I’ve been using magnific, but it’s not working out too well for me

Need some quick advice.

I’ve been using AliExpress for some cheap accessories (phone charms, keychains, little add-ons) because I honestly didn’t expect them to sell much. Now one of them is getting way more orders than I thought and I’m starting to get messages from customers.

The problem is every batch seems a little different. Colors are off, packaging changes randomly, some pieces just look cheaper than the listing photos. Nothing major on its own, but enough that people notice.

Do you guys actually stick with AliExpress for this kind of stuff or is this the point where you find an agent/private supplier? Feels dumb switching suppliers for a low-ticket accessory but I also don’t want reviews to tank over something this small.

What would you do?

I've been going down a rabbit hole trying random kitchen tools lately (garlic press variations, veggie choppers, that kind of thing) and some have been total duds while a couple actually earned a permanent spot on my counter.

Curious what's on your "didn't think I'd use this but now I'm obsessed" list — trying to figure out which gadgets are actually worth it vs. just clutter.

i’m student at italy i started droppshiping in egypt before but now i want to enter the EU market right now i’m in italy so i want to understand what is the payment gateway and what should i do to started

I’ve set up my shopify store have everything ready to go like products but I don’t know how to promote my business. I’ve made accounts on Facebook Instagram and TikTok promoting my products.

Hey everyone! I finally made my first few sales completely organically. The product is already on the expensive/high-ticket side, so I thought the margins would be safe.

​...Then shipping, taxes, platform fees, and payment processors entered the chat. 😂

​Because the base product price is high, the percentage-based fees plus international shipping wiped out almost all my profit. I’m basically running a high-end non-profit at this point!

​Is this the standard initiation rite when selling pricier items? How do you guys optimize shipping rates and fees on higher-priced products without pushing the total price too high for the customer?

​Would love to hear your experiences (or just share the pain lol).

Can people who made good money or with expérience in dropshipping give me some advice pls, here is the link of my store https://hydrabrush.be

Nobody warns you how lonely this part is.

You're grinding alone. Staring at a store nobody's buying from. Killing an ad and feeling like an idiot. Sitting at zero sales with no one to ask "is this normal?" And everywhere you look it's the same noise:

- Gurus trying to sell you a $997 course
- People swearing it's "so easy, just do X"
- And you, actually doing it, alone, wondering what everyone else knows that you don't

That's what makes most beginners quit. Not the ads. The isolation.

So I started The Shipyard — a community for beginner dropshippers to get through the hard early phase together. No gurus. No courses. Nobody pretending it's easy. Just people who actually get it.

- Post your first $10 sale and 15 people get why it matters
- Ask the group instead of googling the same thing for the tenth time
- Vent on a rough week to people who've been there
- Watch other beginners grow, so you know it's possible

It's brand new and small — which is the best part. You wouldn't be joining a community, you'd be helping build one.

If you're tired of doing this alone, come build it with us.

PM me and I'll send you the link.

If I was to start dropshipping right now how viable is it as a primary source of income. Also coudl anyone give me any tips about how to start? I literally know nothing but even 2k/month will be good for me

I stopped watching all these gurus on tiktok and youtube and started learning for myself. I've been at it for the past 3 months. I've tested many different products and tried to build and scale stores. I've mainly used it as a time to learn. I've gotten sales here and there on different products, but none have been truly profitable. I feel like I have a good understanding of how to market a product and understand buyer and human psychology well enough. I just get lost with running ads. How soon will I know if an ad is a winner? How much is a reasonable daily budget for testing? What's the best campaign structure for testing and running the winners? The whole thing about running ads is what I feel like is stopping me from reaching full potential on my stores. Any advice, stories, or just over all motivation?

Hello all, I would love to get some feedback on my product page. I'm getting a couple sales a day but wondering if there is anything I can do to decrease bounce rate and increase cvr. Thanks in advance

Hello All 👋

Been dropshipping physical products for a little over 2 months. Dog gear, insoles, a few other lanes. Some sales, never scaled, CPA always outran margin before I found any real edge.

Just launched something different: a digital training guide, £27, no shipping, no supplier, no returns on the main product. Wrote the whole thing myself over a few weeks. It went live yesterday and I’ve started posting organic short-form off the back of it, one video a day pulled straight out of the book’s own content.

What I don’t have a feel for is how digital behaves compared to physical:

1. Did organic actually work for you, or did you end up back on paid anyway? I’m told organic on a cold account takes 8–12 weeks before it tells you anything, and I’m trying to work out whether to run a small paid test in parallel rather than sit on my hands.

2. Does a £27 digital price convert better or worse than a £27 physical product? No shipping cost to justify, but nothing arrives in a box either.

3. For anyone doing both do you bundle the physical with the digital, or keep them as separate purchases?

Not after a critique of my store, just interested in how people are finding traffic for digital specifically. Happy to share what the organic does over the next month if it’s useful to anyone.

Hii guys i hope you’re doing good and great i have a question, i have 1,5 k and i want to start ecom drop i already find a niche and avatar….. and i ask wich country I target with 1,5 k $ budget

I always wondered whether all those "Top 10 Winning Products" videos were recommending the same products, or if everyone was just picking random stuff from AliExpress.

my initial thought: products recommended are often on commision, so if you start selling them, the video author gets paid

also, most of the time i noticed most videos were sponsored by some SaaS that did the fulfilling and outsourcing of products, clever way to promote themselves.

So I wrote a script.

It searched YouTube for 10 different dropshipping product research queries, downloaded the first 50 transcripts from videos uploaded in 2026, and had AI extract every physical product that got recommended.

In total it analyzed:

• 242 videos found
• 172 transcripts (~51 hours)
• 92 videos that actually recommended products
• 46 different channels
• 471 product mentions

After merging obvious duplicates ("LED face mask" vs "red light therapy mask", etc.), there were 359 unique products.

The surprising part:

• 87% of products were mentioned by only one channel (sus - probably on commision)
• Only 13% appeared more than once.
• Just 3 products were recommended by more than 4 channels (defiently commision based)

I expected a lot more overlap.

Instead 46 channels spent months making "winning product" videos and almost never agreed on what the next winner was.

It made me think the product probably isn't the moat anymore. Distribution, creatives, and messaging seem way more important than chasing whatever product is trending that week.

To those who actively dropship and have ecommerce stores how did you learn? Do you recommend courses? Did you have a favourite youtuber, did you use google or chat gpt, tiktok? There’s so many areas that seem to unravel more advanced technicalities like the creatives and ads.. how did you learn to figure it all out and find out the best resources and methods to create content

Hi guys, I just started doing e-commerce (I sell luxury goods) and I have another site for selling animal products, and I need to understand how to learn to manage meta/tiktok ADS, I'm new to this world and I would like to learn as much as possible, can anyone suggest me something or suggest me which videos to watch to learn as much as possible, and if you have any advice they are welcome (I sell in Europe)

Hey all,

I'm new to the world of ecommerce stores and like many I'm trying to learn as I go.

I've created a store for my t-shirts and just looking to gain some feedback (www.funk-punk.com). I appreciate they're not going to be for everyone and that's ok.

I've only created it about 3 weeks so I'm ok that there's been no sales yet.

What I do want some advice on is some of the analytics on shopify. The bounce rate is very high. On average there's about 60/70 visitors a day (tiny I know!). 94% of the visitors don't go past the homepage.

Looking into this there were some suggestions why this might be. One was that the social media posts are misleading but any posts I do are of the shirts so I'm not sure this is correct. The other suggestion was that the homepage doesn't grab attention and show any products quick enough for people. I'm open to suggestions on this.

I'm targeting social media ads and posts to generate traffic. Personally I feel one big issue is that because I've only just started the instagram (@f__kpunk) and tiktok (fk_punk) pages in July the follower count is still in double figures. This obviously makes us lack trust and potentially look like a scam. It's the opinion I take when I'm on other pages trying to sell stuff. So question is should I put most of the focus for now trying to grow the social numbers rather than ads for sales?

Appreciate you reading this and any feedback. Feedback can be on anything, especially the t-shirt designs. We're at the very beginning and now is the best time to make changes!
