Dropshipping: easy money or hard work

Oise Trade company

Getting rich quick and easy is not going to happen. If only because there is now a huge competition in dropshipping. When this type of business was just beginning to develop, then, of course, there were few players. Due to the small number of rivals, as well as due to the novelty of the approach to trade, they were able to make a large profit. This is not the case now. Dropshippers are very many and everyone is fighting for a place under the sun. The level of competition is steadily increasing, which makes it more difficult to make money.

A big problem with the current market is sameness. The vast majority of dropshippers sell the same products, which they often buy from the same suppliers. Almost no one offers some unique product, most just go with the flow. With this approach, it is impossible to stand out amongst this huge amount of similar products and adverts.

There is no easy, steady income. Dropshipping, like any business, is a complex and demanding process. Don't believe the 'experts' who tell you that dropshipping is an easy way to get rich.

Oise Trade managers talk about the difficulties faced by entrepreneurs who have chosen this business model.

Competition

Uniformity

The need to constantly change the product range in the online shop. Another reason why dropshipping is not easy or simple. You have to keep track of which products are gaining popularity, which are in constant demand, which are losing relevance, etc. Oise Trade's dropshipping specialists monitor market trends and look for competitive niches.

You will not find a product on a Chinese marketplace, start selling it and make money all your life. You will make some money, maybe even a lot of money, but then dropshippers like you will enter that niche and it will simply overflow. After that, the product will lose its value and relevance. So what do you do? Work. Look for new products, constantly monitor current, trending products that will help you make money.

Fast product range changes

With dropshipping, the seller does not have to buy batches of goods to resell. They simply find a buyer and the delivery is handled by the supplier. On the one hand, this makes life easier for the entrepreneur. On the other hand, it creates problems because the dropshipper has no control over the quality of the goods sent to the buyer. You don't even see the product and you don't know if the customer is getting exactly what they ordered. Or if they get it at all. If the customer wants to return the goods, you lose money: you have to pay for the return postage and refund the full price.

You can achieve good results with dropshipping. Be critical of the information you find, weigh your decisions and work hard - then you can be successful in dropshipping, as in any business. If you need help setting up or optimising a dropshipping system, contact Oise Trade Limited.
