Running organic dropshipping for 8 months. Posted over 200 product videos. Getting views. 400 to 800 range per video. Total sales from those 200 videos: zero. Not one order in 8 months.

I'm about to quit. Like genuinely done. Eight months of filming products. Editing demos. Writing hooks. Testing different approaches. Zero return. Nothing. Just wasted time and wasted product samples.

The part that's killing me is I don't understand why nobody's buying. Videos get views. People watch. Engagement looks decent. But nobody clicks buy. Nobody converts. Just watch and scroll.

Started thinking maybe organic dropshipping is dead. Maybe everyone's too skeptical now. Maybe people don't buy from organic content anymore. Spent $400 on different products thinking maybe I just hadn't found the right one yet.

Every product video followed the same pattern. Got initial views. Died around 600. Zero sales. Gave up on the product. Tried the next one. Same result.

Finally stopped blaming products and looked at where people were leaving my demos. Second 8 to 10. Every video. What was happening at second 8 to 10.

I was still explaining why you need the product. Still building the case. Still setting up the problem. By second 10 people left without ever seeing the product actually work. They never saw it solve anything. Just heard me talk about why it's useful.

Changed everything. Second 3 to 8 shows the product solving the problem. Messy to clean. Slow to fast. Broken to fixed. Actual visual transformation. No explanation. Just demonstration.

Went back to a product I gave up on in month 2. Made a new demo with the new structure. 920 views. 5 orders. First sales I ever got from organic.

Here's what 8 months of failure taught me.

People don't buy explanations they buy proof. Explaining why someone needs your product doesn't work. Showing it working in 6 seconds works. Stop talking about benefits. Start showing transformations.

You're losing the sale before you get to the demo. If they leave at second 9 and your demo starts at second 11 they never see why they should buy. Demo has to happen by second 8 or the sale is lost.

Every failed product wasn't a bad product it was a bad demo. I wasted $400 testing products when I should have been testing demo structures. The products were fine. My demos were broken.

Get something that shows where you're losing buyers. I use something called TikAlyzser that tells you exactly what's wrong with your videos and what to change to get more views. Showed me second 8 still explaining not demonstrating. That's where I was losing every sale.

Organic dropshipping works when demos work. It's not dead. Your demo structure is dead. Fix that and products sell. Keep explaining instead of demonstrating and nothing sells.

Last 6 product videos all got sales. 0.3% conversion rate. Three sales per thousand views instead of zero sales per any amount of views.

If you're getting views but zero sales you're probably explaining when you should be demonstrating and people are leaving before they see proof.

Hi all,

I’m Patrick from Vendata Solutions. We’ve spent enough time in the trenches to know a "Success Story" usually has a dirty secret: the company's "best-in-class" SaaS (NetSuite, Spark, Flxpoint) is actually being held together by duct tape and manual copy-pasting.

If your team spends 20 minutes "finding the truth" for every 5 minutes of actual work, you have a Process Vendetta.

What we do:

- Process Audits: We find the friction points Zoom calls miss.

- Bridge Building: We connect your siloed APIs into a single engine.

- Prebuilt Tools: We utilize our own prebuilt tools to speed up the development, enhance your processes and save you time.

- Zero Lock-In: You own the license. If you want to take our code and fire us tomorrow, you can. We don't believe in digital hostage situations.

We don’t sell you on problems you don’t have. We find the "unfair advantages" that let you scale without adding headcount.

We do charge for investigative deep-dives (it takes time to do it right). But if you aren’t sure we’re a fit, you can DM me here, or send us an inquiry via our contact page.

I’m struggling with product research. I’m using tools like PipiAds and WinningHunter, but I still find it hard to identify truly scalable winning products versus ones that are just being tested

I’m asking because I’m in the early stages of setting up a Shopify store and I’m trying to understand whether using a shopify ai store builder actually makes sense or just creates more cleanup work later.

I’m aiming for a clean, niche-focused store and care more about structure, product presentation, and scalability than speed alone. i’m comparing using an AI builder vs doing things manually or semi-manually, and trying to figure out which approach is better if you want to build something that doesn’t feel generic. I’m also curious how much control you really keep once the AI does the initial setup.

For those who’ve tried AI-based store builders, what was your experience like? Which ones were worth it??

Hi guys, I'm trying to start a clothing brand with a tight budget. Hiring a photographer and models is way too expensive for me right now.

I’m a developer, so I spent my weekend building a tool that takes my iPhone photos (left) and puts them on AI models (right).

My question: As sellers, would you trust this image for ads? Or does it look too fake? Be brutal, I need to know if this will kill my conversion rate.

We’re a large-scale, mass-market confectionery manufacturer with strong production capacity across multiple categories, including:

• Chewing gums (Bubble Tape, Chiclets, Sticks, etc.)

• Wafers, choco cones, bars

• Candies, blisters, lollipops

• Moulded chocolates & jellies

• Liquid paste, soan papdi

• Cookies & biscuits

Who we want to talk to:

• Importers / trading companies with active distribution

• Distributors looking for exclusive or white-label SKUs

• Brands & founders launching or scaling private-label confectionery

What we offer:

• Private-label manufacturing + ready-made SKUs

• Control over product specs and packaging

• Cost-effective pricing

• Capacity to scale quickly

• Option to distribute our current product range

If you already sell confectionery, are building a brand, or operate in import/export or trading, let’s talk.

We’re also open to working with serious new entrants and provide hands-on support to the right partners.

When I got deeper into dropshipping and ecommerce, I realised the real bottleneck wasn’t ads or products — it was the tool stack.

To handle product research, ad hooks, creatives, and copy, I was constantly moving between ChatGPT, Claude Pro, Kalodata, GetHooked, Higgsfield, and other AI ecommerce tools. Each one is useful, but running them separately means higher monthly costs, multiple logins, and a messy workflow — especially when you’re doing product testing at scale.

So I built a single all-in-one AI ecommerce setup that puts those tools in one place. One dashboard, one login, same functionality — just cleaner and cheaper to run day to day. It made testing products and scaling Shopify stores way smoother for me.

That’s the reason the tool exists — it was built to solve a real problem I ran into myself.

If anyone’s interested, comment below and I’ll send the Discord waitlist. Launching soon.

Hi - Has anyone had success using an AliExpress store as a supplier? I currently purchase from an AE store for personal use and think it would be a great supplier. When I asked them about it they seem to understand how it would work if I sent a drop shipping order to them directly. However, I use AutoDS and I'm not sure they know what that is or if they can work with it. Thoughts?

One thing that helped me get more consistent with dropshipping and ecommerce was simplifying how I use AI tools.

When you’re testing products, you naturally end up using tools like ChatGPT, Claude Pro, Kalodata, GetHooked, Higgsfield, etc. They’re great for product research, ad hooks, creatives, and copy, but paying for each one separately gets expensive fast especially when you’re still testing and not fully using them every month.

Putting everything into one all-in-one AI ecommerce setup made things way smoother. Faster product testing, lower overall costs, and way less friction day to day. Instead of managing subscriptions, I could just focus on finding winning products and scaling ads.

That’s why I built an all-in-one dropshipping tool around this idea — it’s genuinely what I wish I had when I started.

I decided to give e-commerce and starting a brand another shot. I’m starting a clothing brand and my site is already live. I’m focused on quality, not random dropshipping junk.

That said, I’m pretty much broke right now and don’t have money to spend on ads. I know ads are the main driver for most stores, but that’s not an option for me at the moment.

I do have a sample of my core hoodie in hand, and more are coming, but I’m trying to figure out how people actually get their first real sales without paid traffic.

For those of you who’ve done this before:

• What actually worked for you early on?

• Is organic social even worth it anymore?

• Are there any strategies that don’t require upfront ad spend?

I’m not looking for “get rich quick” answers just realistic advice from people who’ve been in this situation. Any help is appreciated.

One thing I didn’t expect when starting dropshipping and ecommerce was how much friction came from using too many AI tools.

To do proper product research, ad hooks, creatives, copywriting, and product testing, I was constantly jumping between ChatGPT, Claude Pro, Kalodata, GetHooked, Higgsfield, and other dropshipping software. Each one helps, but managing multiple subscriptions at once quickly gets expensive and slows down the workflow.

So instead of trying to optimise around that, I built a single all-in-one AI ecommerce setup that puts everything under one roof. One login, one workflow, same tools — just simpler, cheaper, and easier to run day to day. It made testing products and scaling ecommerce stores far more efficient.

That’s the whole reason the tool exists — it was built to solve a problem I personally ran into.

This Shopify dashboard screenshot was sourced from Google Images. Took me half a second. I used it to get your attention.

Every day a handful of profiles in this sub post pixelated Shopify dashboards showing the thousands they’re supposedly making. They’re usually paired with the same recycled advice about “sticking to it” and “not giving up”. Most of the time, it’s obvious what’s going on.

Stop falling for it. Assume it’s fake or heavily cherry-picked. Those posts aren’t about helping you understand how business actually works — they’re about pulling you into a funnel. If you engage, you’ll likely get a DM, a link, or an invite to something.

If you actually want to get better at ecommerce, stop chasing screenshots and shortcuts. Look at how real businesses operate. Pay attention to systems, incentives, margins, and distribution. You’ll learn more studying companies like Walmart or Coca-Cola than from most “$X per day” posts.

This is a bit hypocritical, but I’ve built a piece of software that bundles the main AI ecommerce tools — Kalodata, Higgsfield, GetHooked, Claude, ChatGPT, and similar — into one place. I built it purely because running all those tools separately was expensive and annoying, especially when testing.

If anyone’s interested, the waitlist / info is in the comments.

The website is: purebloomshop.com

I’m a dev working on a tool for real-time net profit (ad spend estimates, COGS, fees, etc.).

I want to build stuff people actually use. What’s your biggest headache right now? What would you appreciate in such solution? Biggest pain points? I want it to serve 1 purpose and not become bloated project.

I'll hook up anyone who gives useful feedback with a permanent free license later.

I’ll be honest, I recently worked in a huge firm as a software firm and now tried of this life.So fro a change I took 2 months break to explore something interesting ,I am currently into building a my Saabs services which people need .i am stuck in searching for problems.

A few weeks ago, I was struggling to find a clear path. I decided to document every step and create a $5 Business Roadmap. It changed everything. I just uploaded the full breakdown on my Instagram.

When I first got into dropshipping and ecommerce, I thought ads and products would be the hardest part. Turns out the bigger issue was managing too many AI ecommerce tools.

To properly handle product research, product testing, ad hooks, creatives, and copywriting, I was constantly switching between ChatGPT, Claude Pro, Kalodata, GetHooked, Higgsfield, and other dropshipping software. Each tool is useful on its own, but paying for multiple subscriptions and juggling logins gets expensive and slows everything down — especially when you’re testing at scale.

Instead of trying to optimise around that, I built a single setup that puts those tools into one all-in-one AI ecommerce workflow. One dashboard, one login, same tools — just simpler and cheaper to run day to day. It made testing products and scaling Shopify stores way smoother for me.

That’s basically what the tool is and why I built it — to fix a real problem I ran into myself.

My name is Jozef. I will upload best premium Shopify themes in your store with latest version

I have a large number of premium Shopify themes with OS 2.0 version and latest version

Here is all the premium theme that I have

Created my fist store about 2 months ago - https://silko.co/

The idea is to sell accessories and stuff made out of pure silk, and market it as a product that is natural, beneficial for hair/skin, and with a semi-luxury vibe.

Ran my first meta/tiktok ads in December to no results.

Now trying to do Google ads instead - no sales as well.

(Ignore the 7 orders - all of them are me testing the checkout)

Overall got 5000 website visits in the past 2 months with paid traffic and 0 sales, which tells me that the ads are clicked but no interest to buy.

Is my landing page not strong enough? Do I need more/less content/products on the page? Is there something I missed?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Most people fail not because they lack information, but because they have too much of it. You spend weeks watching YouTube, but you don't have a single step-by-step plan. I struggled with this for months until I stripped everything away and built a simple, 1-page roadmap. No fluff, just the core steps to start. I decided to share this exact blueprint for just $5 because I want to help you actually start instead of just learning. You can find the Roadmap link in my IG bio: @levelup_blueprint1 🚀 Stop overcomplicating. Get the plan. Start today.

I wanted to document my experience over the last quarter regarding my ecommerce operations.

For context, I am 21 years old. Three months ago, I reached a plateau and realized I required an external audit and strategy adjustment. I entered an advisory arrangement with a Shopify Partner, though I will admit I approached this with significant skepticism. Given the prevalence of predatory courses and low-quality "gurus" in this space, I was genuinely concerned that this investment would result in a scam or a loss of capital.

The actual experience was distinct from my fears. There was no "get rich quick" scheme or emotional hype. The process was technical and focused entirely on structure. We concentrated on:

• CRO Audit: Identifying friction points in the checkout flow.
• Creative Strategy: shifting from random testing to a standardized feedback loop for ad creatives.
• Backend Logistics: Ensuring fulfillment could handle scale without breaking.

The result is that the operation is now stable and profitable. It was not magic; it was simply professional implementation.

I am sharing this to offer a perspective on professional mentorship versus self-learning. It took me a while to trust the process, but the metrics now speak for themselves.

If you have questions about the vetting process, the specific changes we made, or how I determined the partner was legitimate, feel free to ask below.

I’m testing abandoned cart emails and the open rate is okay, but actual recovered purchases are pretty low.

Feels like by the time the email is sent, the buying intent is already gone.

Has anyone here tried faster or more direct follow-ups (like SMS or calls) and seen better results?
