How to get started with dropshipping?

[gabby_rolim]

Hi guys, I hope you are all doing great.

I plan to start my dropshipping business very soon. I have been watching videos on YouTube about how to start and everything.

I have come to an understanding that some tools can help me get started.

For example
Minea, Sell The Trend and Dropship IO.

What do you guys recommend? Should I be looking into these platforms to do product research? AND Are they beneficial? and time saving?

Hello Gabby @gabby_rolim  before you get into that, drop shipping success is usually based mainly on some basic stuff being arranged and properly planned for. Firstly, have you decided on your product after thorough research? Secondly, have you done research on the target audience and how populated they are on average as Shopify customers and how to best market your products to them? I feel like with stuff like this in place, the need for platforms is quite reduced and you can then begin to use those tools on your own after a while but not necessarily at the start.

Hi @gabby_rolim 

Getting into dropshipping can be a bit of a maze, and I know picking the right tools feels like a real headache. Those platforms you mentioned - Minea, Sell The Trend, and Dropship IO - they're actually pretty awesome.

• Minea is great for quickly finding trending products.
•  Sell The Trend is more advanced, offering deeper insights and marketing strategies.
• Dropship IO helps with finding reliable suppliers and evaluating product margins.

In my experience, Sell The Trend stands out more than the other 2 tools.This tool's got an incredibly user-friendly interface, packed with detailed data that helps you quickly catch those hot product trends. Their Facebook ad insights are seriously impressive.

However, on't get stuck on just one platform. Mix it up and cross-check products across different tools. Each platform's got its own secret sauce, and blending them gives you the ultimate market view.

Hopefully it will help you.

Hi, sure that's a really cool idea to do experiments on different platforms and then finalise one. Thanks for sharing this
