Bro dropshipping is a fulfillment model. If you made no sales to fulfill you didn't dropship, you did nothing. How tf can you even manage to not make sales in 7 months?

Long story short, spent some money and stop trying to "make money easily with 0€". Go spent the 1€ for the shopify trial, copy a product, page and ad from the Facebook ad library 1 to 1 and then spent 100€ on ads to a fitting demographic. All that should take you 4 days at most and that will be more progress than the last year.



I am going to guess that "dropshipping" in your words means setting up a page with a .shopify domain and a huge a$$ shopify banner there because you didn't spend the 20 bucks for domain and trial. Then you copied the product images from alibaba and posted them on insta. This all took tool 7 months because you were "busy" watching clickbait dropshipping videos.

Check out @Antifragile post on scaling also like the person mention above it is suggested that you read all MJ's books instead of going into dropshipping.

I made the mistake of going into dropshipping and i wasted the cost on materials and money and time.

I didn't have that push and will power to go do the 'action' i was being fooled by my own lizard brain and doing lots of 'action faking' don't make the same mistake.

I think I'm going to create a forum banner that counts the # of these types of threads.

Nonetheless, that guru thanks you for being fool #210,401 who bought his dropship course.
