As the title says I generated $71k in the last 365 days with my dropshipping store. Main traffic source - Instagram shoutouts.
Before I jump more into details, here are Sales report:
Don't look at the costs row, that data is incorrect. I know, you want to know the profit, so that number is not so great.
Profit is around 30%, ~$22-23k
Before you ask why so low conversion rate, let me show you some screenshots.
So as you see, I got 329k users, 1,6 million page views.
In screenshots, you can see why so low conversion rate. As I used Instagram shoutouts, I can't regulate targeting countries and so a ton of traffic from Indonesia, Brazil, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Turkey, etc countries with low sales. If we count only the USA, Canada, and European countries' users' visits then the conversion rate is quite ok.
I am still earning with this site. But there are some downsides.
First, I still work full time and sending new shoutouts takes ~2hours daily + adding new products, etc sometimes takes even 4-5 hours per day.
Second, I can't scale with shoutouts because there are as many accounts as there are.
I have tried FB ads and Google ads but couldn't get a positive ROI. I probably need to invest more time and money into this to make it work, Idk.
I am running also an affiliate site. I started it before dropshipping but then didn't work on it for months. Now I am working on it again.
Not impressive earnings but as I said I am only working more serious on it only last few months.
Yeah, and I also wrote an e-book about my dropshipping journey and made $5k selling it during the last 6 months.
I am tired of all the orders fulfillment work, customer messages, social media accounts, etc work.
So I want to focus more on affiliate marketing. And my new target is to learn and master native ads. That's the reason why I joined this forum. I hope to find helpful people here who can share their knowledge. So far I know only some basics and as I haven't started anything yet I don't have real questions. So would be great to hear any good resources where to learn more about native ads.
P.s. If you have any questions regarding dropshipping, drop it and I will try to answer.
