Dropshipping has become a popular business model for entrepreneurs looking to start their own online store without having to invest a lot of money upfront. With dropshipping, you can sell products to your customers without having to hold any inventory. Instead, when a customer makes a purchase, the item is shipped directly from the supplier to the customer.
If you’re interested in starting your own dropshipping business but don’t have a lot of money to invest, it is still possible to get started for free without running ads. In this step-by-step free course, we will show you how to start dropshipping with $0.
Step 1: Choose a Niche
The first step to starting a dropshipping business is to choose a niche. A niche is a specific area of focus for your business, such as women’s fashion, home decor, or fitness products. When choosing a niche, it’s important to consider your interests and the demand for the products within that niche. You can use tools like Google Trends and Amazon Best Sellers to research popular niches and products.
Step 2: Research Suppliers
Once you have chosen a niche, the next step is to research suppliers who offer the products you want to sell. There are many suppliers and wholesalers that offer dropshipping services. Some popular options include AliExpress, Oberlo, and Spocket. Take the time to research different suppliers and their product offerings to find the best fit for your business.
Step 3: Set Up Your Online Store
After choosing a niche and researching suppliers, the next step is to set up your online store. There are several platforms that you can use to create your store, such as Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce. Many of these platforms offer free plans or trials that you can use to get started without having to invest any money upfront.
Step 4: Import Products
Once your store is set up, you can begin importing products from your chosen suppliers. If you are using a platform like Shopify, you can use apps like Oberlo or Spocket to easily import products from suppliers directly into your store. When importing products, be sure to write compelling product descriptions and set competitive prices to attract customers.
Step 5: Promote Your Store
Now that your store is set up and your products are imported, the next step is to promote your store and attract customers. While traditional advertising can be expensive, there are many free ways to promote your store, such as social media marketing, content marketing, and search engine optimization. Utilize platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest to showcase your products and engage with potential customers.
Step 6: Fulfill Orders
When a customer makes a purchase from your store, the supplier will ship the product directly to the customer. You don’t have to worry about inventory or shipping logistics, as the supplier takes care of this for you. This allows you to focus on growing your business and providing great customer service.
Starting a dropshipping business with $0 and without running ads is entirely possible if you are willing to put in the time and effort to research your niche, find reliable suppliers, and promote your store using free marketing strategies. With dedication and perseverance, you can build a successful dropshipping business without having to invest a lot of money upfront. Good luck!

So what about the packaging when you select which ‘supplier’ from the dropdown? You selected Amazon. Will it have amz taping or in an amz bag?
24:54 not to be that person, but Gerber is their last name, so they made their name their brand. But your point was made. I understood what your we’re trying to say and cleared some confusion I had
The goat Leon thanks man
bro you funny asl, great vid.
I’ve got an issue , with delivering the products most suppliers won’t accept to send the product from China to the destination , and if I find a delivery company it might cost more than expected, how or where should I find the suppliers whom accepting to send the products directly to the buyers?
Hey, I'm unable to pay idk why did you stopped accepting payments? It says unable to verify card idk why i have tried several times
Awesome content, keep up the great work in 2024 as well 🙂 I also found my luck in dropshipping, and I am very grateful for it. It's not like I am making millions and millions, but I am very happy with my income since it only demands few work hours over the week. You just need to get good products (which is not always the easiest task, but I use a bit of winnerzila as they provide everything for my store. Five products per week, with descriptions and videos for every product). Last month I had a tad over 10000$ profit, which is awesome considering I started in September last year.
Leo green. thanks for the video, but can I actually drop ship from Nigeria?
Just subscribed.
hi Leon, i purchase the gmail list and I send the gmail to you, It would mean a lot to me to respond because I am worried because you won't respond :))
