In this episode of the eCommerce Lifestyle Podcast, I share why I stopped "dropshipping", and what I'm doing instead.

Today I want to talk about why right now, in Q3 of 2023 (with the economy being a bit scary) is actually a great time to start a high-ticket dropshipping store using the Drop Ship Lifestyle business model. The reason I wanted to address this is because things do feel different than they did a year ago. - interest rates are higher - people are scared about job security - businesses are cutting costs - people are scared to start businesses All of those things are true... So why is right now still a great time to start a high-ticket dropshipping store? 1) Your established future competitors - the stores that have been around for a while that have built up big fixed monthly costs - are not going to have to take their foot off the gas and start cutting expenses. 2) You can get started for a few hundred dollars and run a LEAN business with high-profit margins and almost no fixed monthly costs. 3) You can use this time in a "down economy" to get your foot in the door and start gaining market share and healthy profits. When the economy recovers, you'll be in a place to make HUGE profits as an already established existing retailer.

Anton shares how to have big problems in business... and why they are a blessing in disguise which most people never get to solve.

Anton shares the #1 secret for building a profitable drop ship store.

Many beginners think the biggest secret is picking the right niche, being really good at paid ads, or just getting lucky…

All of these things are important…

But they’re not the biggest secret.

The biggest secret is to ALWAYS FOCUS ON HAVING HAPPY CUSTOMERS.

This is how you build a dropshipping business that provides real value to your customers and to your bank account.

But happy customers alone will not lead to you having a profitable drop ship store.

Instead, you want to “zoom out” and use “happy customers” as a part of your decision-making framework.  From there, what you need to do will become clear.

In today’s episode, Anton shares how this applies to product selection, shipping, and support.
