I met a kid recently who makes roughly $65 a day in profit by selling fidget spinners through shopify. I was astonished because that's more than what I'm making at my part-time job. I've even worked back breaking jobs for just barely a little more than that.

I've looked up hours of videos on how to set up Shopify, finding a niche, downloading additional apps, affiliate marketing, finding what sells, direct ads from Facebook, Instagram and etc. The amount of free information on Youtube is ridiculous, even with all those nuggets of gold, people still aren't taking action. I tried to get my friends in on it and they all think it's some sort of pyramid scheme... Less competition I suppose.

Anyways I have an idea on how to set up my shop. I've found a niche, my shops up and I'm looking through a few products that I can dropship.

I'm going to take a jab at this since my freelance endeavor isn't going so well at the moment and I had to pick up a part-time job as a chef. If I can make $65 a day then it can seriously replace my part-time job while I find a way to scale. My goal is at least $100 a day in sales.

I had a few questions for you big time drop shippers out there.

What was your biggest mistakes while dropshipping?

What were some key elements on knowing whether or not a product would sell?

What was the most cost effective way for you to decide on how you wanted to advertise?
