Bobby Halverson: My first entrepreneurial venture was actually a Network Marketing Company and from there I went into Affiliate Marketing. Through networking, I was introduced to Shopify Dropshipping and I found massive success up front and have been building my brand for about 3 years around it.
•What’s your three best dropshipping tips?
- Don’t create the “wheel”, just jump on it. Many people try to find a product before it’s trending, which there is nothing wrong with that, but if you’re a beginner just find something already selling and duplicate it and make it better.
- Find someone to learn it from. You will either spend the money not knowing what you’re doing or spend it paying someone to learn the right way!
- Find a product that people can build an emotional attachment too. That is the easiest way to make money as a beginner in the space.
