wher does he live man

[@gadgetboyplaysmc]

Props to the first dude's dad for giving him a chance to prove himself at least.

[@Trstchaa]

This is just my perspective, dropshipping is a great way to first understand the basics of running a business , testing products and gaining some capital. However, after you’ve found a consistent product, I think it would be wise to start doing custom logo packaging and wholesale that product and scaling alongside amazon.

[@CharlieChang]

100%

[@lilili101]

Don't drop shippers customize their product and packaging???

[@monty4918]

What do you mean by selling wholesale? And how does Amazon help scale? I’m just trying to learn more about it

[@absolutepropertyservices7116]

This young man has an incredible rate of learning and using that knowledge to not repeat his mistakes. Kudos.

[@HussainDaveham]

Man , you are creating so much value ! Keep up the outstanding work and bring on more interviews from the e-commerce entrepreneurs!

[@judymyers1934]

Thank you, this will help a lot. This is really nice and inspiring story, and this young man could teach this in schools probably :D I started a year ago with literally nothing, but it's paying really great for me last few months (I am close to hitting 15k per month now). Consistency and hard work (with a little bit of winnerzila of course, as they have really good product suggestions. Also their videos and other assets are simply vital for me) is key to success!!

[@MrSzczawik2121]

Wow 2:30 to 3:30 is exactly about me!! I'm so grateful that i watched this video today! Moving out from my hometown in 3 days. Got my apartment here, safe 9/5 but no way for personal growth. I decided to move out although i have no money saved up. But i got single room rented out and gonna find a way to survive and work on myself! THANKS BRO ❤❤❤❤

Amazing video will definitely check out the saucy guy looking to get into dropshipping and building brands myself keep em coming especially the ecom stuff

[@jazzpote4316]

Please always ask for profit margin. 13M/year means NOTHING if that's revenue.

[@genuinepetpalace]

I think it's quite the art, generating $13m though

[@keepwondering_]

In dropshipping margins are not fat, around anywhere from 10-20% regularly. Speaking from own and many others experiences doing millions

[@Ben-kh4le]

Anyone could generate 13 million in revenue, just buy a yacht and sell it back to owner in 5 seconds - boom, 13 million in Revenue. WOAH super successful!!!! Or sell alibaba trash like the second people, lmao not interested, have more passion that that

[@keepwondering_]

@@Ben-kh4le i guess its no ones passion to sell chinese sh*t to western customers. But to do big things, you need money. And dropshipping/ecom gives a good kickstart for that. At least thats how i see it

[@Ben-kh4le]

@@keepwondering_ Why are you too lazy to start your own business and ship your own products? Do you realize how easy it is to print a shipping label? That is why you want to dropship? A $30 printer is holding you back? That is insane. You are not ready for business.

[@officialjasonpalmer]

I love that “grinding” to this guy is working 40-50 hours a week 😂. That’s what most people work every week for their entire lives and barely get by. Not saying that as an insult. I guess it’s more of a testimony to the methods he uses.

[@wbielicz]

I noticed that too lol

Great video!

[@1oguidd]

Great video as always! I have a prototype I would like to take to market but I am struggling to find a manufacturer to work with. Do you have any recommendations on how to locate one?

[@bsamai]

Amazing information.

[@chauncollins7616]

I designed shoes had them sent to a manufacture in Portugal then shipped back to me in the US. I was 20 at the time released them to the public and sold out 100 pairs in one week at $250. My initial investment was $4200. I did this several times partnered with athletes, rappers, etc. business went well until I got shot in my spine and had to learn how to walk again. As of current I’m still trying to revive my brand, but it’ll get there. I went to school studying web development, I was already coding using basic html and photoshop at 14 designing my first website with pictures 😅😂😂😂, however that wasn’t where my heart was. I left took a chance and made money following my passion. So I say all that to say…….I agree with the guy in the video, take the risk especially if it’s heavy on your mind day in day out.

[@rayreeves4681]

I’m assuming the web dev background came in handy in your ecom career tho yeah

[@chauncollins7616]

@@rayreeves4681 Indeed it did. I design and code everything myself. I always try to cut out the middle man in everything. It also helped me land my first job at an agency here in DC . Ironically the companies we worked with were involved heavily in the fashion industry, so I learned a lot more while I worked. Thanks for reading!

[@702Chap]

[@theorganicsocialco]

I don’t think so.

Question: if youre selling necklaces based on BTS or other grups with copyright, how does that work? do you need the license, or can you just design necklaces based off them and them without copyright license and profit off of that?

[@bethestandardallday]

Revenue? We want to hear net profit. Revenue means nothing

[@VisheshKumar-mj3zp]

What is the profit/year? All they talking abt is revenue which is a good thing but what is take home profit?

[@arewealone9969]

What’s the profit after all expenses.

[@iamb2348]

Notice how these clowns never actually link their sites or products. They also never talk about actual profit vs revenue.

[@sibongilemdaka6370]

Guys please help me the second guy i cant hear well what he says He saus if you dont have what then thats where he comes in ??

[@skyking9248]

13m in profit means nothing if you don’t show how much you earned after expenses probably made $1-2 mil tops after expenses pre tax Id like that to be much more transparent

[@chriswe67]

What’s the profit?

[@abdou2375]

I think these people have inventories right now right? Cause dropshipping is just like a way to start

[@jasn010]

Keep in mind, it’s 13mil revenue. Not profit

[@slashmaru]

They talk about revenues but what is the actual profit margin? After COGS

[@cosmeticscameo8277]

average profit margin of drop shippers are 15-20% so let's say you do 12 million a year in sales which is pretty crazy since you need at least that much capital /cashflow to keep doing the business. their profit would be 2.40 million a year. now i was just referring to the profit they make per sale. i don't know how much they pay in taxes and some kind of overhead like that couple with the warehouse rent. then they have to spend money on ads, pay for liability insurance, and expect some kind of returns. dropshippers are expected to spend $5-10.00 a day on ads. ecommerce return rate is 20-30 percent on average. assuming this dropshipper is taxed at the same rate as earned income like a salary than after taxes that $2.40 million becomes 1,172,140 in take home. so you see how fast that $12 million dollar sales becomes 10% take home pay basically. assuming everything goes right.

[@robertreed8931]

A lot of videos about drop shipping are on KZbin half the videos talk about no money to get started. Then the other videos like this the Guy said he used a few thousand to get started. So I don’t understand. Is drop shipping about making a video to get views. No body on KZbin has a video with a step by step to get started. It’s this rambling on and on and advertising. And how great and easy it is and how Much money they make

[@cosmeticscameo8277]

reason you won't see a true step by step guide is because then you will be in direct competition with them. but the basic premise is you need a product that people want, get it out there as much as possible, make sales/fulfill the sale. so the key is product and to get people to find your product.

[@tiffanywei730]

I thought it is illegal to sell BTS kpop items due to copyrights, unless they have the permission to do so.

[@cagamer4161]

Can be screen shot lol 😂

[@lawsofhumannature2049]

A good start for a 24 year old. Definitely a lot of work just to make a 3.2% profit margin. I work 10 hours a week and make 40% more and I'm 25. Always take wins where you can because competition is what drives me. ✅😅

[@CharlieChang]

Friends, friends of friends, and IG mostly!

[@ilovecarnitas]

so dropshipping is electronic buying from one and selling to another?

[@rayfinkle9369]

Dropshipping is basically you being a middle man. You find a supplier somewhere, then you set up a website with their product's pictures, try to get people on facebook or wherever to buy them on your store, then when they do, you tell the supplier to send it to the customer and you keep the difference in cost between advertising and product costs and final sale price.

[@ryanschultz1658]

Go make $500k in a year net and then talk lol. 3% net margin seems slim even at that scale. I imagine he’s sitting 5-6% at 13M annual rev with acquired lower MOQ and USA fulfillment. I imagine high returning customer rate (cheaper CPP indirectly increases ROAS efforts), he clearly has a brand if he’s at that scale versus some one time purchase dropship approach.
