1. Focusing on yourself instead of the customer
A lot of dropshippers have a bad quality product, poor customer service and are only in it for the quick money
You're thinking too small
Providing a high quality product will make you a lot more money in the long run

2. They don't adapt
Dropshipping is ALWAYS changing
I struggled with banned Facebook ad accounts before I transitioned to TikTok and found more success
If I hadn't adapted and changed I would have failed

3. Bad margins
A lot of new guys just sell their product for a random price above the amount they pay for it
Stick to the 3x rule. Only dropship products when you can realistically sell them for 3x the amount you buy them

4. No patience
It can take you 6-7+ failed products before you finally find that winning product you've been looking for
It takes time to build up the skillset too
Don't believe the gurus who say you'll be making thousands easily as soon as you start

5. Terrible marketing
It doesn't matter how good your product is, if your ad creatives are bad then no one will ever know
Stick to these rules:
- Make the first 3 seconds engaging
- Make them as native as possible
- Keep it between 15-30 seconds
- Only use trending sounds

6. Untrustworthy website
Don't just make the same basic dropshipping website as everyone else. People can see it from a mile away
There is no excuse to have a bad website
Get a Shopify template and make one or pay someone to create it for you

7. Too many product choices/options
You would think that a lot of options would be good but it has the opposite effect
Too many options will overwhelm your customer and make them leave your store without actually buying anything

8. Choosing bad suppliers
A bad supplier can destroy your whole store if they can't fulfil your orders
Go to Aliexpress or wherever you source your products, tick βtrade assuranceβ and βverified supplierβ and choose the ones with good reviews

9. Choosing products you know nothing about
Lets be real
If you're an 18 year old guy, you will not be that good at marketing and selling a product aimed at pregnant women
You don't know their wants and needs
Stick to what you know

10. Poor $$$$ management
You need to know all your product metrics before you start running a product and stay on top of all the money you're spending on ads etc
Poor money management can bring you from 30-50%+ margins down to a 10% if you're not careful
