Course overview
Lesson Overview
19 – Dropshipping Business: A dropshipping business lets you sell products online without storing inventory. You partner with wholesalers who ship directly to your customers. Start by selecting a trusted supplier platform like Shopify + DSers or Spocket. Choose trending items, build an attractive website, and focus on customer service. Because suppliers handle packaging, your job is marketing and order management. Low startup costs make it beginner-friendly, but competition requires strong branding. Paid ads, SEO blogs, and influencer partnerships help drive traffic. Dropshipping is ideal for learning e-commerce logistics while minimizing risk and upfront investment.
