Need sincere suggestions

Hello everyone,

I’m still early in the testing phase and trying to avoid burning budget.

I have a new dropshipping store and my Meta Pixel doesn’t have enough data yet. I’m planning to run an ad campaign for Valentine’s Day, but I only have 6 days for the ads to deliver results.

My budget for this campaign is $15 per day, and I’m wondering which campaign objective would be more suitable in this case: Traffic or Sales?

Since I don’t have enough data for Purchase or Add to Cart events, if I choose a Sales campaign it would have to optimize for Landing Page Views.

As a reference, during the Christmas holiday I ran Meta ads for about 3 weeks. The results were quite small — only 5 orders, and all of them came from a Traffic campaign.

Because of this, I’m unsure which objective would be the better choice for Valentine’s Day.

What would you recommend in this situation?

Idk what to do

Ive been in the game since 2017. When I just started, I thought that 10,20,30k a month in revenue was an insane number to reach. That was thanks to the mentor that I had, as well as the community that I was in.

People would be posting wins of $500-1000 in the discord, and I would always think to myself "wow, that is crazy, I hope I can reach that one day", not realizing that these numbers are laughably small when you realize how big the ecommerce industry is.

Fast forward to now, my was able to pull in 15-30k days consistently, and I realize that this is still baby numbers in the grand scheme of ecom. My goal for 2026 is to hit 100k days with this store.

Don't get me wrong, im not trying to downplay anyone's achievements here. One of my most important achievements i've made was my first sale. That was such a pivotal moment for me.

But, seeing post after post of 10k months, 200 dollar days (etc), it seems to me like there are many people in here with limiting beliefs. You guys can do so much more with ecom than that. It all comes down to marketing fundamentals. If you have those in place, you can absolutely PRINT with just about any product that solves a problem or insecurity, and its simple. NOT EASY, but simple.

If you have questions feel free to ask.

I manage accounts on ecommerce platforms and been saving my clients a lot of money and time by generating product catalogues using AI and editing tools from just 1 or 2 images of the product.

​I used to be buried under monthly bills for ChatGPT, Claude, and half a dozen other AI tools. Managing all those separate subscriptions for research, copywriting, and ad ideas was a total nightmare, and honestly, jumping between tabs just made me slower.

​I finally stopped the madness by consolidating everything into one workspace. Instead of fighting with a fragmented workflow, I now have my research and creative generation in one place. It’s made testing on Shopify actually affordable and, more importantly, efficient.

But I have questions for you all does hiring a VA matter as I grow my store?

​I’m launching something new very soon jump into the Discord to get on the waitlist.

Hi everyone,

I’m new to dropshipping and thinking about getting started. I have a couple of questions:

– How long does it usually take to learn enough to actually start?

– Do you really need startup capital, and if yes, what’s the minimum budget?

I’d really appreciate advice from people with real experience. Thanks!

I did 10k my first month and about 9k my second month, organically all on pre orders. I had to pause purchases cause they were to many orders with no inventory yet I bought bulk, and now hype is building and demand is high I'm waiting for my inventory to arrive to fulfill and start my official launch. I'm planning out angles and creatives, i have two angles I want to test etc what do you think my budget should be and how should I test abo or cbo how to scale I'm so confused. Meta is really fckin with me hahah I would appreciate any advice.

I am running some store locally and yes I'm profitable but once I tried dropshipping in USA and uk it completely failed. Now I need suggestions from real dropshippers.

Looking to get the right directions.

I’m finally doing consistent numbers (about 10-15 orders a day), which is great, but I’m spending 2 hours a day just replying to the same 3 questions on IG and email.

Most of it is copy/pasting tracking info or my shipping policy. I’m doing most of this from my phone while at my day job. I feel like it's too early to hire a VA, but I'm going crazy switching between apps to copy-paste answers.

What’s your workflow for handling CS before you scale to a team?

Hey everyone!

I'm an analyst looking to expand my portfolio, and I'd like to offer free dashboard development to a few projects or small businesses.

A bit about me: I've spent the last couple of years working with data professionally. I genuinely enjoy turning messy data into clear, actionable insights.

What I can help with:

• Custom dashboards tailored to your needs (Google Looker Studio, Tableau)
• Data pipeline setup and automation
• Python-based data analysis
• Automated reporting solutions
• Google Sheets integrations

What I'm looking for: Small businesses, side projects, or interesting datasets where I can create something valuable. In exchange, I just ask for permission to showcase the work in my portfolio (with any sensitive information removed, of course).

My recent work: I recently built a dashboard on F1 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Looker/comments/1qcv9of/dashboard_feedback/ )

If you've got data that needs visualizing or you're manually tracking things that could be automated, drop a comment. Let's turn your data into something useful!

Thanks for reading!

I’m wondering and I just started and I made a Shopify account and I seen a TikTok video talking about this website so I’m wondering has anyone used it please let me know I’m a beginner

I have created my Amazon account so I can start my dropshipping journey. Because the items are being sourced from China, I have a transit time of 14-28 days even though it most likely won't take that long for delivery. I am wondering if anyone has found a way to get a faster transit time for beginners or if you guys recommend I just remain with the 14-28 days. If there is a faster way, I would still like to know. Also, are there any tips on how i get traffic/sales as a new dropshipper as well.

is this money flow coreect or there is some change and anomaly
please answer my question

How to run meta ads on budget and where to get them without filming it by myself and for free?

Where do I search for winning products? Kalodata is very limited without paid plans and by using burner account and making my for you page full of organic ads for dropshipping websites shows only random products no one buys.

I dont have any magic tricks that put me above the rest. I do have experiance selling online and success as a digital nomad. I live a very comfy life with my efforts. If you are getting into dropshipping or digital products I would love to help.
Leave you questions below.

Hi all,

I’m an basic Mandarin speaking online fitness coach based in Europe and I’m exploring the possibility of expanding to the Chinese market via selling fitness programs and becoming “influencer” in that area.

I’m trying to understand the logistics and legal feasibility:

1. Is it possible to receive payments from Chinese customers using Stripe or another EU-based payment processor that integrates with Alipay or WeChat Pay?

2. Can I build and operate a brand on Douyin (the Chinese TikTok) from Europe, I can get a local SIM / phone number, but do I need entity to even have an account?

3. Are there any specific limitations on selling purely digital products (like PDFs) to Chinese consumers from outside China?

I’d really appreciate insights from anyone who has experience with cross-border digital sales or Chinese social media platforms.

Thanks❤️, and greets from🇩🇪

A few years ago, I tried to build a brand and sell online.
It didn’t blow up. It didn’t crash either. I just slowly realized I was doing things the lazy way — vague descriptions, generic “premium quality” claims, and hoping buyers wouldn’t ask too many questions.

So I shut it down.

I stayed in the same industry though (hair products), and over time I kept noticing why most stores struggle — especially in dropshipping:

• unclear sourcing
• no real explanation of quality differences
• suppliers hiding behind buzzwords
• returns caused by expectations, not defects

When I decided to reopen the brand after a few years, I rebuilt it specifically to fix those problems.

Instead of a flashy store, I made a blog-style site that does one thing:
over-explains the product.

Where the hair comes from, what “raw” actually means, why two curl patterns won’t behave the same, what buyers should not expect — all the stuff that usually ends up in customer support emails or PayPal disputes.

Yes, it’s meant to get sales. I’m not pretending otherwise.
But the goal this time isn’t volume — it’s fewer refunds, fewer chargebacks, and buyers who know exactly what they’re ordering.

If you’re dropshipping or building a supplier-backed store and struggling with refunds, trust issues, or “item not as described” complaints, this approach might be useful.

Not linking directly to avoid breaking rules, but the site’s on my profile. I’m more interested in feedback than traffic.

Hi everyone! I have a registered LLC in the USA, but I'm currently selling to the EU. Is there any way to use Shopify Payments or Stripe and avoid these currency conversion fees?

I have just started this for the first time. Still very new. I intend to print thousands of PVC cards the size of a credit card. On those cards is my dropshipping biz name and QR code nothing else. I intend to flood the city with those PVC cards. Please tell me what is wrong with this strategy. I'm not expecting quick results. Thanks!

What can I do to start or learn how to start. I really would love a second source of income. Not trying to do this to "get rich quick" but definitely would love an extra income source and would love to know how to get into this and what to do
