I'm reading this and... You know it just sounds like a lot of bitchmoaningandcomplaining to me.
I get it, we all like to sell and make profit, but if 345645654546345 users all follow the same guides: Find a supplier, find how much profit you can make, make the profit by undercutting then what do you expect?
If you want to use dropshipping and are looking for a product, then I'm pretty sure there are 7 million people doing the exact same thing, thinking the exact same thought that you are "omg, people are eating away my profit, just leave and leave my profit to me, let me sell sell sell"
Its like... cmon man, it's business- Everybody wants to do exactly the same thing: Buy low, sell high and nobody wants competiotion. If you are selling in a "****ty" category you'll always get competitors who can afford to drop the prices for 6 months, just to make you suffer and once you have either moved on, or struggled and decided to quit, they can slowly put the prices up again. Same with amount of listings and everything else "business" related.
Unless one really finds a category where undercutting doesn't
really get you anywhere or figure out a personal and profitable way of sourcing the stock, you'll always run into same problems.
Everybody wants to find a cheap online wholeseller, do the price checks with couple of clicks, list using stock photos and other peoples templates. Everybody wants to do so in huge numbers, more money, more items, more accounts, more sales, more profit, more products more more more more... More problems and more retarded people doing exactly the same thing.
It's pretty lazy.
If you want to make profit, you have to put time and energy into it and if something is easy, its only matter of time before you have 7 million people doing the same thing and they can't seem to figure out where have the profits gone.
Go back to basics, work hard and do your own thing, find a creative way to run a business. Instead of having 600 products that are **** and don't produce any profit, find one good one and develop it. Experiment with categories and suppliers, go back to basics and figure out a way to be one step ahead of other people.
I have never sourced anything that I sell online, I travel 2-4 times a month to different parts of europe to meet with local suppliers, other people who sell the same things and I develoop business contacts. I try to work with what I've got and seek advantage- I take something that nobody else is selling and sell that. I find the hardest thing you could possibly sell(Either because of its price, size, need or other factors) and try to make it as easy as possible for a customer to get it from you.
I get downright oldschool whel it comes to business and I try to avoid selling USB chargers and batteries, screen protectors and shoelaces... You get what I mean.
Hustle, hustle hard.
