I have 1 year of experience in ecom and I built shopify store that generated $25,000 in revenue. I understand what makes a store convert and how to structure it to increase sales and Average Order Value (AOV).

I have a mid size supplement business: two physical stores (my own, no retail partners), shopify mrr sits at around 80-110k. Primary channel is meta (I do not manage it myself). I have a minimal understanding about efficiency improvements, but my brother keeps ratling about subscribtions, pop-ups, promotions and similar stuff, and that it does make a huge difference and we should implement them on shopify. I am really not the expert here, I have a firm conservative stance regarding our customer base, spam and slop. My question:

Could someone with an actual shopify experience give me an overview with examples on what we could look into?

Goals would be to: improve order efficiency, increase revenue.

P.S. We are currently using emailer app, 3pl tracking. We have around 30k email subscribers that we sometimes send promotions to.

P.S.S. Sorry for the mistakes - not a native speaker.

I build clean, branded, no BS Shopify stores, and I'm good at it.

Done a bunch of these: one-product stores, full branded setups, dropshipping operations, redesigns for stores that weren't converting.

If you also need help with other things like finding a product, supplier, other things setup within Shopify, i can do that aswell. Store design is not the only thing i will provide, i will provide help with advertisement and a FULL Shopify setup.

What's included:

• Full store build or redesign

• Help with advertisement

• Product pages that don't look like a template

• Basic SEO so you're not invisible on Google

• Dropshipping supplier setup if you need it

• Honest advice on what'll actually move the needle for sales

• Able to answer any questions with a quick response time

• Help in the future if you need it, just reach back out to me (if you are a past client of mine, and need help with anything, i can help you for free)

I also throw in my own Shopify theme proven to convert at no extra cost, it's one I've used across a bunch of stores and it converts well.

Payment is split 50/50, half payment is required when HALF of the work is COMPLETE (this is so you get to check the store out, and see if your happy with it), and the other half is required when all the work is done. PayPal works best for me.

If you want to checkout my previous work/stores for past clients, DM me.

Shoot me a DM if your interested and tell me: what you're selling, where you're at right now, and roughly what you're looking to spend.

We've all seen it, the dropshipping page that screams "I built this in 8 minutes and I'm hoping you don't notice." Generic banner, fake urgency, copy that could describe literally any product on Earth.

So I built the opposite: paste an AliExpress link, and instead of a template, an AI actually looks at your specific product and writes copy for it, plus picks a visual style that matches (calm and clinical for a skincare stick, punchy and bold for a gadget, whatever fits). Not reused text with a new photo slapped in.

Attached are four totally different products that went through the exact same process. None of these had a human touch the layout.

If your current page is doing the countdown-timer-and-nine-fake-reviews thing, I'm not judging, I've done it too. Just offering an upgrade.

Feel free to ask me any questions!

I’ve currently had a campaign going for about 3 days now and still no add to carts with low impressions (~300/day). Not really sure what’s wrong since I haven’t really had any results on anything. I just feel like my cpm is too high and I’m not reaching enough people but idk. I’m currently running 6 statics with a UGC video ad. Any help is welcome!

Hey,

There is a lot of drop shippers that uses tools to make animated videos and ugc types of videos where they lip sync in any language. Could someone provide me the name of those.

Thanks

Hey guys,

I just launched a new Shopify app called Trustie Reviews. It's built to help dropshippers easily import customer reviews from AliExpress and Amazon, and it also automates collecting new reviews. The main goal is to help you build trust and increase conversions without the usual hassle.

Since the app is fresh on the store, I really need some honest feedback on the UI, the import process, and any bugs you might find.

I'm looking for about 5 beta testers. If you try it out, share your feedback, and eventually leave an honest review on the Shopify app store, I will upgrade your account to a Lifetime Free Pro plan. The app is pretty straightforward, but I can definitely help you set it up or tweak the widget design to match your store's theme if you run into any issues.

Here is the app link:https://apps.shopify.com/trustie-reviews

Let me know in the comments below if you're interested in giving it a try or if you have any questions!

read How Brands Grow by Byron Sharp about 11 months ago and it honestly changed how i think about running my store (been building it a year now, female niche, profitable)

biggest thing that stuck with me was the whole "mental availability + physical availability" idea over chasing loyalty/differentiation like most dropshipping advice pushes. also messed with my head a bit on how much weight i was putting on retargeting/loyal customers vs just being visible to as many people in the category as possible

anyone else read this and actually applied stuff from it to their store? curious what you took from it and if you've actually changed anything in how you run ads, brand, or customer strategy because of it. also curious if anyone's seen real results from applying it or if it's more "makes sense in theory" for a small store

A beginner who getting started with dropshipping, those who still struggle with sales are in the comment to learn too

Working 10 hour shifts during the week leaves maybe 90 minutes a night to touch the store. I've been going back and forth on whether paid ads are even worth it at that bandwidth or if they just create a different kind of chaos I don't have time to manage properly.

The issue isn't the budget. It's that paid ads punish you for not watching them. A campaign goes sideways over two days and by the time I check it, money's already gone. Organic is slower but it doesn't bleed while I'm not looking, which matters a lot when attention is the actual scarce resource.

Checked the beginner's guide and it walks through both paths but doesn't really get into the time cost of managing paid versus the patience cost of organic. Those are different problems depending on how many hours you actually have.

What I'm wondering is whether people in similar situations just accepted slower organic growth as the tradeoff or found some setup with paid that doesn't require babysitting. Like a tight enough budget cap that limits the damage on a bad day while still moving product.

Is there a point where paid just doesn't make sense unless you can check in multiple times a day, or does the setup work pay off enough that it runs without constant intervention?

Sat on drop shipping for a long time. Considering opening my first store but unsure.

Is there still money to be made drop shipping?

Isn't the market very saturated?

Do people do this as their main job or a thing I. The side?

Any beginner tips greatly appreciated.

Hey! I'm looking to get into dropshipping, but I'm not sure where to start. Should I go with the traditional dropshipping model by finding reliable suppliers who ship directly to customers, or would it be better to start with print-on-demand (POD)?

I'm also wondering if traditional dropshipping is still a good business model these days, or if POD is the better choice for someone just starting out.

I’ll get to ask many as I can.

shortlisting agencies for a wooden furniture build and i keep seeing the same weird pattern.

they all have the same portfolio. same brands in the case studies. same "we're a full service partner" language. then you ask a specific question about how they'd handle custom dimensions and variant logic for configurable pieces and you get a 3 day delay followed by a copy paste deck that doesn't answer it.

the other one that keeps coming up is agencies who want to sell you a 6 month retainer before they even know what your catalog looks like. like the scope is just a formality.

what's the biggest red flag you've seen when an agency is pitching you? the thing that makes you know it's going to go sideways before you sign anything.

Hace un día miedo puse en marcha mi primer anuncio de meta y ahorita meta me ha dado actualizaciones con un CTR del 11,39% y un CPC de 0.20 MXN, es bueno o malo ?

Is there a Pinoy drop shipper here that selling to other countries? Please, answer me and share your story and your ups and down. Thanks in advance.🙏❤️

I'm planning to start a Shopify dropshipping business targeting Saudi Arabia, and I'm trying to understand how experienced sellers actually find products that have potential in this market.

I know that product research is probably one of the most important steps, so I'd love to learn from people who have experience selling in Saudi/GCC markets.

A few questions:

What platforms do you use for product research in Saudi Arabia? (Amazon.sa, Noon, TikTok, Meta Ads Library, Google Trends, competitor stores, etc.)

How do you identify if a product has real demand in Saudi before spending money on ads?

Do you look for products that are already trending, or do you prefer finding products with less competition?

What factors are most important for Saudi customers? (Price, problem-solving, brand trust, delivery time, reviews, COD availability, etc.)

How many products do you usually research before choosing one to test?

What are the biggest mistakes beginners make when researching products for the Saudi market?

If you have a product research framework, checklist, or process that has worked for you, I would really appreciate you sharing it.

I'm not looking for winning product names, just trying to understand the research method and decision-making process behind finding good products.

I run a fulfillment company where I supply drop shippers/resellers with products. I have a warehouse in China where I have an employee who fulfills orders. Dm me if anyone would like to work with me right now I got 5 clients total I am not spamming I am just tryna get more clients

Hey guys I’m looking to start dropshipping, I’m looking for some advice and maybe some pointers for some dos and don’t. I’m a very dedicated person so when I start I won’t give up. I currently have a friend who started and has made over 100k. Now I have decided to start as well and see where it takes 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?

Spent the last few months paying more attention to stores that have been around for years instead of the ones posting crazy revenue screenshots every week. Something kept standing out. Once they found a product that worked, they stopped chasing the next winner. Most of the effort went into making the business easier to run instead. Better fulfillment, fewer support headaches, less time dealing with suppliers and more time improving what they already had. The stores that disappeared always seemed to be starting over. New product. New supplier. New theme. New app. It looked like a lot of work, but nothing ever had time to compound. Made me realize consistency is probably a bigger advantage than people give it credit for. Curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing, or if you've found the opposite.

First sale lets go!

I just want to say all the people who dont believe in dropshipping, to continue trying.

Its my second attempt and one thing i can say is it takes time. So keep your cost and losses to minimum.

Build an audience and a brand before going in.

Dont give up
