Every entrepreneur faces challenges, but it’s how we respond to those setbacks that defines our journey. When I launched my dropshipping business, I encountered numerous obstacles—from finding the right niche to dealing with unreliable suppliers. There were moments I doubted my path, questioning if I was cut out for this. But instead of giving up, I chose to learn and adapt. I pivoted my strategy, built strong relationships with trustworthy suppliers, and invested in my marketing skills. Each setback became a lesson, pushing me closer to my goals. Today, my business is thriving, proving that resilience and determination can turn challenges into stepping stones. Remember, every setback is an opportunity for growth. Embrace the journey, and success will follow!

I began dropshipping 8 months ago. Before that, I tried other online ventures like eBay and Amazon, but they didn’t work out for me. However, once I started dropshipping, everything started going well with my sales. Although the first two months were challenging, I was able to achieve my goals with the help of my store manager.

1. free items. I get these by searching craigslist “free stuff”. FBM i search for free items. I do this every day. Most Of what I look for are washers, dryers, ovens, dishwashers. I sell parts And scrap the rest. 2. Buy off FBM Mostly electronics, blenders, vacuums for parts, really anything I can resell. 3. Online auction sites. Usually by lots of tools, electronics, high end dinnerware, crystal etc 4. Storage units online or in person auctions. 5. moving and downsizing sales. These sales usually have a lot of items people want to part with and have a tight timeline. Here some real value. While you are there talk to the person running the sale. Ask some questions try to see if you can help them out. I usually tell them I’ll swing by at the end of their sale to see whats left. When I return I offer to take everything left stressing I really only want x y and z. I let them know I will drop it off at the donation center for them. This works every now and then. I do understand many resellers Don't have the means to transport or store but at a minimum you should be able to get some things really cheap. What are some of the things you are doing?
