    Yeah so each of these tests I did what you said, and ran ads to a specific product page. You’d be surprised how many people don’t look at the homepage at all and just click buy right there on the product page, so knowing that let me test a bunch of products efficiently and without wasting time...

    For finding good products, I don’t think there’s a specific formula. I just tested a bunch, like 100+ in the past few months. Towards the end my win rate got higher but that’s because of all the previous tests. I would highly recommend incorporating GPT into your workflow, in my case it let me...

    EXECUTION 
    Just wanted post to an update, I did around $400k in October. This is between 2 stores, the first one I posted here and a second product I found in early October. I think the $1m month is definitely possible, however I've been running into some issues with Facebook. On new ad accounts you can...

    What do you mean? So the accounts you use, if you get them from a provider, you still just pay Facebook direct? And I’m assuming you just pay the provider a fee or % of ad spend? We may be talking about slightly different things but yeah I’m curious.

    EXECUTION 
    My personal Facebook account got restricted, so using this ad account agency is the best way I’ve found to continue running. To run ads I have to top up the accounts first and then they’ll add the balance to them, so when they went on holiday, that meant I had to send them almost 2 weeks worth...

    Yeah definitely, repeat customers and a good product are keys to a brand. I’m aware but that’s why I’m deciding not to brand it and just start from scratch to setup that. So I can have a good experience from the beginning.

    Update: I’ve been at around 10-12k/day for the past week and am at $150k for the month. I’m going to update the goal to instead of being around 200-300k/mo consistently, to just net around $250k by end of year. I want to start a brand, and I spoke with a few people way more experienced than me...

    I'm currently running the ads and making them content for them, no agencies.

    Probably just cold outreach, or introducing from a friend. If an influencers happens to buy your product without any contact from you that's a huge in too, for HexClad before they signed Gordon Ramsay he was a big fan on their product. Maybe work on terms with your manufacturer? I'm not sure if...

    Celebrities/influencers could be great but it depends on your product and the celebrity/influencer themselves. You just want to make sure their audience converts, since sometimes people who have a lot of followers don't actually have that much influencer over them. The gold standard would be...

    Yeah so by nature dropshipping (at least how most people go about it) is a short term business model. You find a product, scale it til it becomes unprofitable on Facebook, and then move onto the next one. When I say I’m unsure if I’ll be able to continue scaling it, by that I mean the business...

    Hey guys wanted to post an update. I found a good product and I'm currently at $6-8k per day at healthy margins. The last few months I've been testing a bunch of new products and while I've found a few that scaled to the $500-$1k per day range, none have scaled as easily as this, which is cool...

    MINDSET 
    Welcome man. How much have you looked into AI/ChatGPT recently? That's the first thing that came to mind when you mentioned your age, since I think that's largely where things are headed.

    What would y'all do if you were 16?

    OFF-TOPIC QUESTION 
    Curious on why you quit the business instead of trying to scale it? Didn’t see the thread. Seems like you could learn while reinvesting money trying to scale it from 1k to 2k, 5k, etc.
