After being unable to decide what to do with my spare time (I don’t tend to get much to be honest), I settled on finding new and cute things for others to buy!! Hopefully this will mean I can buy new and cute things too when my commission lands!!
This lead to a search for a place to sell them and a what to actually put on there. I obviously did a bit of a google and decided to try a 2 pronged approach.
1. Dropshipping through my own website.
2. Dropshipping through Shopify and finding someone to help.
Number 1 has a couple of chunky pros in that I can pick the things I love and sell them at a price that I’m happy with. The cons of this is that I obviously have to pay for my website and learning the ropes takes time.
Number 2 is still a mixed bag to be honest. I now have 3 websites all set up and looking amazing but it’s all American and I’ve had no input in the current products on there. However it has only cost me $1 for each website for a month and $5 for the support which I know is an amazing deal. And I can add more products on as I please.
So by accident I am running a little experiment! If the Shopify sites don’t take off, I can cancel at any point and I’ve lost very little. If the items on my website tank, I just take them down and we go on like nothing happened.
Which do you think will do better?
