How Much Money Do You Need to Start Dropshipping? ($100? $500? $1000? $3000?!)

[@WholesaleTed]

Hey guys - don't be shy, if you've got any questions please ask them. We'll try and answer as many as we can :)

[@jesuschristneverlived6938]

+Wholesale Ted Thanks babe

[@WholesaleTed]

Haha yes. I do that because it will increase how high the comment is shown on the video page once there are 50+ comments ;) I want people to know they are welcome to ask questions!

[@a.h.i267]

I love how this channel just gets straight into the topic and doesnt wait around for 7 minutes like the others

[@TheLostBijou]

That is so refreshing!

[@maxwellfratto9910]

cuz they all want you to buy there shitty course

[@godspoweremmanuel9072]

I love this lady, she opens up the dark secrets in dropshipping Business that others won't talk about, it's better to know ur challenges and prepare for them than to be taken unawares Thanks ma'am, I love you

[@lifeoftraderlot5647]

You are only one of those who explained cashflow. Great effort Sarah Will definitely follow yoir guidelines

[@carlzcomedystuffstandup9383]

I've been told my whole my life every time I talk about working for myself that I'm basically too basic...Im 30 and I'm tired blue collar worker who feels 50... I got very little education and appreciate people like you putting this stuff out

[@Different-Level]

All you need is to believe in yourself, fuck what anyone else tells you

[@lifeinchiangmai3072]

Good video. I use my credit card for my dropshipping business, then pay it off when I receive my PayPal money. It gives me a lot of reward points on my credit card, so I can fly free or upgrade to first class. Keep the videos coming...

[@Inferno909]

Life In Chiang Mai sounds like a good idea

[@larrystorm6681]

This is one of the first videos I've seen that shows people need to understand that it really does take money to make money. Thanks Sarah.

[@Ggdivhjkjl]

Having watched numerous channels talking about this, I like you - you're honest and provide useful information without too much waffling.

[@shereviews8999]

This video was well thought out and genuine. I appreciate your honesty and you not being offensive. I'm sharing this with a friend!

[@fattyz1]

10:00 cash flow. Excellent job. I ran a small business for 10 years and you have to play the cash flow game. You get comfortable after a few years when you know you'll pay yourself back lol. I was seasonal too so I had to budget for winters off. Thank you very much.

[@Manny1222]

I love how you are realistic and positive in a very genuine way. I've been having a hard time. Went through a huge depression episode - actually still in it. Your information has become very important to me in giving me hope. I've learned much more than just e-commerce. I actually have a something to strive for. Struggling with money and worrying how you're going to survive is not fun - I'm there, after all. Hope. Maybe that's what I needed. I've recently set up my store in kind of a book setting niche. I'm hoping something works, or else I'm off to making Fortnight videos. loooool

[@ashleymanning4203]

Thank you for your this video. I've had the question of do I purchase the item, then wait for my customer money to hit my account. you are the firs video to directly answer that question. You speak for clear and not fast. I love that you break down every term. I really appreciate this channel. You have ignited my fire to jump into Drop shipping. I've researching for months and now I think I'm ready. Thanks

[@sonnyecom]

Thanks for these videos, I just hit $20k this month, capatilized on a huge trend, thanks wholesale ted!

Love your videos. I didn't understand anything before because you talk to fast but when I saw more videos of you, now I can understand you easyly. Great video.

[@Uriel.47AC]

Questions, how do you push your distractions out of the way so you can actually do your work? Also it would really cool if you could show us your daily routine for work and how it's functioning for you. Thank you Sarah, your videos are fantastic

[@TheRealKitWalker]

Thanks Sara for the honest and straight forward video on how to get started :)

[@oguzbars1489]

Sarah, you really make my day whenever I watch your videos. You are a very good human being . Thank you for your all the information that you have given to us and thank you to your team members too. Keep sharing. Help if you can, teach if you learn, give if you earn;)

[@StephanieEze]

Sarah never disappoints. You’re always going over my expectations. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@marcomonge9939]

This channel is golden! I am just beginning to learn about drop shipping and the videos are very informative. I can't wait to binge watch more of these as they have answered questions already that other channels failed to do. So glad I came across this channel. Thanks Wholesale Ted! Side note, the host is absolutely gorgeous but that's just a bonus😍

[@jeremyswint4758]

You seriously produce the best videos on the topic content wise. Super open and honest. Your work is appreciated!

[@frankduffy7471]

Liked and subbed today. I am a seasoned businessman, chemist and cosmetics manufacturer and CEO . You're awesome giving some very good advise to beginners in business and people like myself that are just getting wet in a new field. Can't wait to watch some of your other videos - keep them coming! Btw, your comparison of brick and motor to online stores - was spot on !

[@bethchanelle]

I absolutely love your descriptions! Thanks for taking the time to write it out!!!!

[@frankferranajr7428]

Thank you so much for this very honest video!! Finally someone mentioned ALL the costs. 🙌🏽😁

[@NomadLand666]

THANK YOU. I'm all in, and I keep finding that any question I have can be answered right here.

[@aan7282]

THANKS for being a legit page that gives proper info without going around circles

[@dkland1980]

Wished i would have watched this first to find hidden cost number 3. It took me several hours of reading comments last week to figure it all out when all i had to do is watch this.

[@theglowupblog880]

This is an amazing and honest review. So many people do click bare saying you can do it for free. Honestly about $700-$1,000 is enough to start this. Thank you for your knowledge on this!!

[@joeyvargas8818]

At first I was not sure about your videos, but after watching I realize that you are an awsome person helping people on how to make money. You just got a subscriber😁

[@iuusufduishenbiev3853]

Omg I can’t believe someone who’s honest. Thank you

[@angelabragg6864]

I especially love your closing comments about brick and mortar startup vs internet! Excellent!

[@unlikelycoach8814]

WOW!!! Super Excellent Video. Your delivery style is infectious and riveting. Loved it!!!

[@aboodmorad3104]

Thank you, miss, from the depths of the transparency and clarity of your thesis about the beginning and the potential risks, as well as curbing the ambitions of the owners of quick earning without the effort they make. I wish you happy times, God bless you.

[@Matt-wg9xn]

Cash flow part was so helpful - I'm planning a big-ticket items so might do much smaller testing at first haha

[@talyahr3302]

Yeah especially if you're not experienced don't start with high ticket. Do mid ticket instead.

[@manuelurquiza7546]

You can use paypal credit, they give you 6 months to pay, im about to start also a high ticket business for ebikes and it scares me a little

[@brandonspiegel2293]

Your videos have so much value, I'm honestly surprised that you are not at like 1 mil subs at least.

[@sesetio338]

She's the real deal. Since there's isn't cuts through her seminar. Thanks

[@joshuavera9974]

I just started watching your videos and I love them so much! Thanks for all the content you put out there I’ve learned so much. I’m currently working on a plan of action to start my very own Drop shipping business so I don’t have to work at a part time job anymore to focus on school

[@HikikomoriDev]

I am glad the covered the PayPal issue, that's what will probably hold you back mostly. This is the sign that this video can be fact checked true once you step into this far enough and see the problem.

[@dognatious6153]

This girl is a genius. I have never seen anyone with such succinct, efficacious, sincere information with such an ability to convey and express it in a voice that keeps your attention. I've been around the block, and I am so, so lucky to have found her. What is astound is that she is so prolific, an Amadeus if you will. Finding her is a given if you are sincerely doing the research. Advice means nothing if you aren't willing to do the work and the "rite of passage". ---Michael

[@somrajsaha3215]

You're so amazing. Beautiful and witty. Well informed and experienced with a blend of sweet confidence.

[@t.a.skyers]

Thank you Sara for being so thorough, this is the exact info I was looking for 💜

[@mavenchand4730]

This channel is incredibly useful. You have a new subscriber. Real content.

[@tayzhonhernandez-walters2664]

OMG thank you so much for this video ! I was planning starting amazon FBA but currently i only have 550 euros saved up and i've heard that you need at least around 1000/2000 to start on there so i got really discouraged.. this dropshipping could be ideal for the money i currently have saved up tho :D i'm so excited and will watch more videos on this subject !

[@krisfitness17kn13]

I’m sooooo glad I found your channel! I’ve watched a few of your videos already and subbed, thank you for the Great videos , presentation and easy to watch videos!! Thank you so much !!! ❤️❤️love all your vids.

[@jeroenvanbroekhoven7325]

Hi Sarah, aren't you forgetting that in a lot of countries (as well as by Shopify) you need to be a registered business? This also brings extra cost and time to set up in some countries. Not letting this drag me down though - currently in prepping stage for setting it all up!

[@jeanettedicarlo5881]

You never disappoint with the info and guidance - well done!

[@ashleymills1942]

I think it's going to take a long time til I can start my store. I bought the Shopify basic plan and I want to eventually get a subscription to the drop ship club. Right now I work cleaning houses part time and I watch these videos and take notes all day when I'm not working. If I am persistent it will pay off. Maybe it's better to grow slow anyway.

[@lorenzodoss9380]

Hello I just wanted to thank you for your open and honest information about drop shipping using shopify and other platforms. You are 100% correct. I have a team building 2 stores for me right now and I did not realize the huge cost of marketing "if you want it faster" so now after spending money for the team and getting the store built I know have to SIDE HUSTLE to get ready for the ad spend budget. I go however realize the principle of investing in your dream so I am on it. But hey thanks again great video!!!!! See you at the top lol

[@stanger963]

Sarah I love you so much and I'm extremely grateful that you exist

[@sicariusindia]

Damn. Your channel gives such an impressive vibe. It almost makes me trust it as much as BBC! Thank you for being considerate with your research and helping new dropshippers understand the value in it.

[@ryanellmaniego3599]

I like your videos! I like how you show whats behind the every glam and glittery talk gurus do and especially how you talk (you accent) :D keep it up! +1 Subscriber! and not skipping ads for you haha!

[@professionalcommenter5]

You are very articulate in the way that you explain your methods. Awesome and keep up the great work.

[@joshuakarl]

Who can argue with her logic? I mean honestly, it's a very transparent answer. 👍💪

[@diontaedaughtry974]

You made this so much easier to understand.

[@4empion]

I like this video ,cause she doesn't promise to people golden hills ,it makes me trust her . Most of scamers promise quick get rich in 30 days ,but in this vid it's clear water :if you do dropshiplifestyle get ready for work.

[@ada-boy]

I love your honesty.

[@micheled5167]

Thanks Sarah! I find your videos to be the most helpful, and I like that you post an outline below the video as well. I can tell that you genuinely like to help people.

So much value dropped on this channel!!! Thank you!

[@KeemSmilez1989]

i was actully thinking about putting aside maybe $400. I have a nice following that i build within a few years. in my followers already know i am coming out with a sunglasses website soon. with no paid advertisement my promo video for my website got over 300 views in many comments within a week. people saying they can't wait for the website to drop. so just want to make sure i have money set aside cause i know that first day will be so many sales lol

[@nicoechonyc]

one thing I don’t understand after watching a lot of dropshipping videos is do I need only one shopify store for all items (even if the items are unrelated, i.e beauty products and electonics) or do I need to pay for a shopify store for each item that I want to sell? I haven’t seen any videos that explain this. Thank you for all your videos!

[@vikiye1578]

You can try CJ, because they have the free sourcing request and free service, and you can list items from their APP to your store

[@allinmyownworld]

i love the idea of dropshipping and im getting into it, but it still feels to good to be true. And i get that paypal puts a hold on your money after a customer purchases something but i want in depth information on how getting paid actually works

[@nexdrums]

Thumbs up and subscribed. I am a tester and work in this business ;))) I will watch also the other videos from yours! Thanks gal!!!

[@reycaribe]

Hey Sarah. Great video as usual. I see you up graded the sound effects.😁 Happy Valentine's day ♥️

[@WholesaleTed]

Thank you! I was hoping someone would notice them :)

[@AfricanFlightStar]

Excellent info thanks, you are spot on, esp w that last expense, most drop ship pundits never mention that ⚡️💥👍🏼

[@johndough2926]

so ... while the theory of the 1 ad-set at $5 to test a product is correct. It is also a little unrealistic in terms of success. There are tons of different audiences to test and tons of different variables to take into account to test for. Age, Sex, Location, Interests, Platform, Placement, and the list goes on. So while you can have just one ad-set running at $5 a day, it is highly unlikely you will hit a winner that way. Some have of course, but they are what are known as an outlier on a graph. The reality is most people that thoroughly test products run a single Facebook campaign that has 5, 10, 20, 50 or more even, different ad-sets to test different audiences. Each ad-set has it's own daily budget. That means if you have an item that has several different angles and audiences that could be buyers, the more ad-set you are going to have. I personally will not test an item with less that 5 ad-sets and I more times than not, will have 10 or more ad-sets per item. So in terms of a marketing budget this is a more realistic amount: video used 20 total products to test as example so ill go off that number. 1 product budget: - $5 daily budget - 10 Different ad-sets - 3 days - 5 x 10 = $50 daily budget - $50 x 3 days = $150 total budget for one item - 20 items x $150 total budget for one item = $3,000 total budget to test 20 items at $5 ad day for 3 days each. This is just a rough estimate and you could definitely spend less, but you could also spend a lot more. On top of that you could do your testing and still not find a winning product. It basically comes down to how good your product(s) is/are, how good you are with Facebook marketing and finding the right audience for your product, and how much money you are willing to potentially lose until you find a product that produces sales. Not to scare, but that is the reality of it. Risk vs Reward. Good luck!

[@WholesaleTed]

When testing products, you don't need to do this many tests per product. A basic test targeting a broader audience and choosing very obviously-related interests in targeting is more than enough for most people to eventually find a winner without having to run lots and lots of different ads. Once you find a winning product though you can then go much deeper though of course! The reason most people don't find winners is usually more to do with their ad copy/website/giving up too early :)

[@johndough2926]

okay.

[@paegynhawkins]

Thanks Sarah this video answered all of my concerns and worries I had. Now I am fully prepared

[@WiPri0371]

I'm looking for a job for no other reason than to start my dropshipping store. Also going to get certified by Google for Google Ads so I can put myself out there for that as well. I've worked for others and even in this economy of jobs-a-plenty it's difficult to get a job especially for the older workers groups. Employers are way too picky. So instead of working for them anymore, I'm going to work for myself.

[@4636Youtub]

Nice video Wholesale Tid

This is such a great video about sound business planning for success. Thanks a lot for this honest teaching feat.

[@cretan982]

Lot more competition these days and a lot more savvy buyers who can spot a dropshipper from China.
