Attempting Shopify Dropshipping without Any Funds for a 10-Day Period




I Tried Shopify Dropshipping With NO MONEY For 10 Days

Shopify dropshipping has gained significant popularity in recent years as a viable business model for aspiring entrepreneurs. It allows individuals to sell products online without the need for inventory or upfront investment in stock. Intrigued by this concept, I decided to give it a try with no money and see if it was really possible to build a profitable business in just 10 days.

Day 1: Setting up the Store
The first step was to create a Shopify store. Fortunately, Shopify offers a 14-day free trial, which gave me a head start. I spent the day researching and selecting a niche, setting up the store, and customizing it to make it visually appealing and user-friendly.

Day 2: Product Research
With no budget for advertising, I had to focus on finding winning products that had a high chance of generating profits. I utilized various free tools and platforms like AliExpress, Google Trends, and Facebook groups to identify products with high demand and low competition. It was crucial to find products that matched the interests of my target audience.

Day 3-6: Contacting Suppliers
Once I had a list of potential products, I reached out to suppliers on AliExpress. Since I had no money for inventory, I had to negotiate dropshipping agreements with them. It was important to find reliable suppliers who offered fast shipping and quality products to ensure customer satisfaction.

Day 7: Marketing Strategy
Without a marketing budget, I had to rely on free marketing tactics to drive traffic to my store. I utilized social media platforms, such as Instagram and Facebook, to create engaging posts and content related to my niche. I also joined relevant communities and shared valuable insights, establishing myself as an authority in the field.

Day 8-9: Social Media Engagement
To generate more interest and attract potential customers, I actively engaged with individuals in my target audience. I responded to comments, answered questions, and reached out to influencers in my niche for collaborations. Building a strong online presence was crucial to gaining credibility and trust.

Day 10: Sales and Customer Satisfaction
On the final day, I started receiving my first orders. The products were automatically fulfilled by the suppliers, and I received a commission for each sale. Fulfilling orders was seamless, thanks to the integration of Shopify with AliExpress. I focused on providing excellent customer service, ensuring timely communication and tracking of orders.

To my astonishment, I managed to make a few sales within those 10 days. While the profit was not substantial, it proved that it is indeed possible to start a dropshipping business without any money. The key factors that contributed to my limited success were thorough product research, effective social media engagement, and timely customer service.

Of course, it is important to note that dropshipping requires constant effort and dedication to achieve long-term success. While I was able to generate initial sales, scaling the business would require a strategic approach, including investing in paid advertising and expanding the product range.

In conclusion, my 10-day experiment with Shopify dropshipping without any money proved to be a valuable learning experience. It highlighted the potential of this business model and the importance of thorough research, effective marketing strategies, and outstanding customer service. If you are willing to put in the effort and adapt to challenges, dropshipping can be a viable option for aspiring entrepreneurs with limited funds.

    I don't understand something.. you have to own a business license to manage your business legally and not getting into legal issues, and also you have to report your incomes to the tax office. Why YouTubers don't talk about that it is the most important thing

    Thank you Sarah for the post! When you created the new account, did you do so on a different device? or same device? And does this method you mentioned still work today or has the algorithm been adjusted and no longer work as well?

    what do you mean by posting viral videos? like using someone else's video and posting it under your accont and simply giving them a credit? is that allowed. Also, maybe I missed the part but where exactly was this product coming from? who and where is the supplier. Thanks!!

    Did you automate the fulfillment process or completed orders manually? How would bundle the upsells together with the base product if you are using different suppliers?

    Hi I love your content I’m personally interested in dropshipping and I have a good majority of the information I need thanks to you and a few other YouTubers but my question is I know your a partner with usadrops but for people like me how could we get access to these products from the wholesaler without an agent. And it says for the month it’s 19.99 but I thought it would be a free source and it specifies you only get 30 quotes a month etc. I’m just a little confused on where I should look to get my products considering I already have one in mind
