That It’s not enough to want something in order to be successful: you need to be completely committed and willing to sacrifice everything.

Do you want it? Do you really, really want it? Yes, Maybe, No?

If you’re going to be successful then you need to acknowledge that this is going to take a tremendous amount of work. It’s going to take a commitment. It’s going to be a lifestyle change. It’s going to require sacrifice and you have to be willing to live this new life.

Successful people are driven. They find a niche and delve into it until they’re a master of their craft. And then they continue to do this over and over again. There’s no finish line, there’s no safe haven. The only respite from the grind is quitting – and that’s not for everyone.

When you get into this ecommerce, you had better get used to enjoying the daily grind even if it’s just for a little bit. Those who are operating...

In this blog we are going to be sharing our top 7 things you need to now before you start drop shipping in Australia.

Drop shipping is a fulfilment method in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock. Instead, when a retailer receives an order from a customer, they forward that order to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the items directly to the customer’s home.

In this blog post we will take you through 7 things you should know before starting your drop shipping journey. From what to sell and how much cash investment is needed, all of your questions will be answered.

1. Know what you are selling.

The first step to starting your drop shipping business is to know what you are going to sell. Of course if you are looking into drop shipping opportunities, the first thing that will come to your mind is e-commerce. However, if you plan on selling in other channels such as Shopify, eBay or Amazon, you may want to consider their rules...

I'm just going to state it up front: don't dropship apparel, okay? Let's take a look at why this is not a good idea.

Dropshipping apparel online isn't a good business model for several reasons. I'm not against selling apparel in general, and in fact, I personally have a clothing label that I've been working on for many years. If it's your passion, you should go for it, and be aware that it's a difficult thing to get right. I would not dropship apparel for profit, I would do it only for passion. 

If you're just looking for a profitable business model, dropshipping apparel isn't likely to work out for you. There are a lot of issues that can and will arise, and dealing with them will eat into your profit margin and cause all kinds of headaches.

First, there's a very high return rate. When people buy clothing online they can't try it on, so they buy their usual sizes, but items listed as the same size often fit differently. So, if someone normally wears a large and they put your...

Today I want to talk about whether or not it is too late to get started dropshipping right here in Australia.

The short answer: it's absolutely not too late! It is time to get started right now. Anybody that tells you it's too late, it's oversaturated, it's already been done, doesn't know what they're talking about. Unlike America, all the suppliers haven't caught on to dropshipping. This gives us a massive opportunity to reach out, call these suppliers, and be the only ones online selling certain products.

There aren't massive dropshipping platforms here. There are a couple, like dropship zone, color-block, or a couple of others. But a lot of the suppliers or distributors in Australia are not ready for dropshipping.

We have the chance to bring them around our way of thinking and get started with them. We can be the first to sell their products and brands online.

Amazon has only just kicked off in Australia. Think about that: one of the biggest companies in the entire world has...

Today I'm going to be talking about how dropshipping cheap AliExpress products with Facebook isn't really a real dropshipping business. Let me explain.

It is my belief that Aliexpress dropshipping with Facebook is just about selling one-off products, trying to find the angle, the niche, the product that's going to make you a million bucks. It's not a real business, at least in my opinion.

I know there are tons of people out there on the internet making big claims that they're making big bucks, and sure, it can be done. I'm not disputing that in any way, shape or form. You can treat it like a business but the thing with these products is that you're just always looking for the next big win.

You're not building an empire, you're not building a business up. You may be making a few bucks, but you're not building anything tangible or saleable. Let's take a look with an example of a brick-and-mortar business.

My brother and I used to run a direct sales and marketing company. We made...

Today I'm going to be covering the pros and cons of running your dropshipping stores from Australia.

Most of my stores are in Australia, and I'll get a lot of these questions: “Does it or doesn't it work in Oz?”, “Give me the pros and cons.” Let's get started with some pros and cons.

A lot of the suppliers in Oz aren't geared for dropshipping, so it can be really hard at times to find reliable suppliers. It's hard to lock them in, it's hard to get them out of the mindset of the whole brick and mortar store and into the idea of selling online. So that is definitely is a bit of a con in many ways, because it is hard to lock them in. I actually see it as an advantage though, because a lot of people give up on the first note, but you can try to negotiate a little bit and work out some terms.

I could write a whole deep dive about this subject alone, but I'll just give you a few quick pointers here. If you get your store up with a few other suppliers, you can...
