7 months and $5 in profit

[ethan34]

Hello
I'm a 17 year old about to graduate high school.
About 8 months ago I got caught up in the drop shipping from China trend and thought that with little effort I could buy a Lamborghini in no time. So after 7 months of running an online drop shipping pet store, spending $400 in advertising, putting in lots and lots of time, and earning one Starbucks Mocha profit in total, I knew I was doing something wrong. A friend recommended UNSCRIPTED and TMF , and after reading them, it's pretty obvious why my pet shop didn't work. Shocker, spending weeks making the perfect website design doesn't help when the product sucks and the customer isn't valued. When I learn lessons from my next business, I will post them here and hopefully someone can avoid the mistakes I will make.
