When I last tried Shopify, I was using Oberlo.  I left for a while and now I see that it's no longer available.  I need some direction as to what app other sellers are using that would work the same as Oberlo.  I'm not a techy, so please speak English...  lol

Hi @Laurie_Collins ,
You can now use Dsers, it has same functionalities and it's also free to use.

@Laurie_Collins I recommend putting some thought into creating a product based around your passions, then finding your audience and building a brand to market that product (and future products) to your audience.

 

You could start with a random dropshipping business to gain insights and discover products / manufacturers but in the end you're just selling the same stuff everyone else is. I've done both (general dropshipping and brand / product creation) and while the random dropshipping business is long gone, the brand still lives and has a purpose (eco friendly products and we plant a tree on every sale).

 

Long term, I think you'll be happier creating value and having a purpose, rather than just selling trinkets from aliexpress or something.
