I was looking into some wholesalers and dropshiping websites, just out of curiosity. one in particular sounded pretty good, <removed >, however it seems like it would be too difficult to really make money off something like this, when you compete against all the established large online retailers that everyone trusts and goes to. so my question is, is it actually possible to make a living off of doing this, or at least make a decent amount? and has anyone here tried this, or is still doing so and making money from it? Thanks!

Actually, instead of the affiliate signup you linked to (may or may not be yours).

Go to the parent site Doba at least you can find out what it costs after the free trial is over.

Like any business, go into drop shipping with a clear sight of what you want to achieve realistically and a plan.

You won't be a millionaire overnight and you will have to work on the promotion and converting sales of your drop ship sites to earn money.

Yes, it is possible to make a decent amount, maybe even a "living" eventually but it does require an initial investment in time and advertising money.
Starting with a low or zero budget takes a lot longer and infinitely more marketing knowledge and skill.

thanks. I don't know if I would ever take the risk to try something like this, but I was very curious about it. you know, always looking for other ways to make money, lol. but I will continue to research a bit and see if it is anything I should consider down the line. thanks.
