Is very easy to start dropshipping. Just built mine yesterday with just $4 BitCoin... awkward? Yea it is.... only one person here in Nairaland knows about my dropshipping.

The way I see it is this, don't share anything till it has grown. That's the hard lesson I have learnt.

Edit: Ask me questions and I will answer them but when it goes too much to big secrets I won't answer them...fair enough.

Request any dropshipping course you want and I'll get it for you.

EMMAACHILE:
Drop shipping will work by using a foreign market target like USA and using tools like oberloo or oaxray or blacklister, etc.
The best platform is still shopify.

Do you guys think that drop shipping in Nigeria could be very practicable and profitable without glitches? I mean drop shipping from Chinese manufacturers/suppliers (or even Nigerian manufacturers/suppliers) to Nigerian customers here in Nigeria... Is that gonna work?

I have a good dot NG domain which I currently use as a blog, but I have recently installed woocommerce on it and want to remodel it into a full-fledged drop shipping/E-commerce entity, but focused on Nigeria. What do you think is involved here?

easyresource:
i started dropshipping not too long and some of the challenges i have and some i had submounted would be stated below, but first. As a dropshipper (i hope there is a word like that), u get products (not buy o) but fill your shopify store with products from merchants on aliexpress (or other ecommerce sites) using a tool called oberlo.

With oberlo i only select products that offer free shipping with higher orders [/b]and [b]sellers with higher ranking (this is within my niche ofcourse). So I then change some settings on both my oberlo app and shopify store(watch youtube video online for more help on this).
This allows my buyers to pay for products on my store (prices are in USD ofcourse, NB. buyers address will be listed during placing of order) and then i contact the seller, pay for the good and provide the address of the client for shipping (i also give the merchant some instructions so that the client doesnt know am dropshipping it-coded things).

Some of the key point for MY business model are;
- i target/market or sell to people in the US (free shipping is quicker and much easier)
- i choose product with free shipping, higher seller rank and high order rate
- i change my shipping address to a US address

(those are some i can think of for now)

My challenges are, although u can pay for shopify plan using a Nigerian debit card, but for your site payment processor u cant use most of the payment gateway listed on shopify unless paypal and that leads to my second challenge,

its common knowledge (i hope it is) that with paypal, u can use it to make payment once u fund it, but u cant receive payment with it (to d best of my knowledge ni o, i know some people are waited to pounce, i cant fight o) but i opened a business account with my paypal and i was able to use it as my payment processor. reason why u need this is that since i am targeting US market only, my payment processor must be able to process USD denomination cards.(not even paystack would help)

The other issue is that with paypal as my payment processor, i can receive, but to collect my money now is wahala. But dont fret, am testing an hypothesis, if u have a dollar card, like the one gtbank issues, u can link it to ur paypal business account and when fund get to ur paypal u can add it to ur wallet (card) and use the atm to withdraw. shikena.

I hope this help, and for all u who know more than me, pls teach me with suru, no insults - insinuated or directly implied will not be tolerated . Thank you

Basis:

1. Search out trends; trendy, viral or seasonal,
2. Look for them in aliexpress or alibaba or taboo or ebay or use teespring
3. Think about which payment gateway will be easy for you. Google up eCom Payment Gateways
4. Reg for shopify 60 days trial and have your $29 for basic plan after trial expires or buy wordpress hosting and use WoCommerce or Prestashop
5. Stock up and edit ur site
6. Advertise ur new business
7. Drink beer while you deal with costumer inventory...etc

Anymore, am up for hire...goodluck

wjxavier:
Okay guys, the last one hour has been fantastic on this thread.

I actually stumbled on it, like I was not searching. Just doing my thing.

Shoutout to McHenzy, CosmicJames and everyone keeping it real.

I've been in digital marketing for years, but as it was getting harder to get my wife a job after her baby, I decided to set her up on Shopify.

Using my knowledge of FB ads, and niche selection (the two biggest problems with Dropshipping), I have been able to successfully create my own problem. LOL

By the end of this year, I will be quitting my own business to work in her dropshipping company. Its been that successful in a matter of months.

It is perfect, low cost, and with a little common sense, you can shock your landlord or naysayers in a matter of months.

Kudos guys!

More later
