@thedanielokon@IstvanicMarin Well said. At 10% regardless of the dollar. Odds are you are barely breaking even from a cash point on the first PO before the next deposit is due. So your cash eventually drains. Add on taxes. It’s mostly a trap and makes your free cashflow essentially 0 so it’s never deposited
@jackorgbuild@24Shays@thechrismeade Hey you brought up extreme examples to try illustrate your point and logic... I just did the exact same to illustrate mine. It’s ridiculous.
@jackorgbuild@24Shays@thechrismeade This literally happens anyway. Imagine thinking a podcast with 1k views is going to somehow spark the competition to sink you.
@dulan007_@thechrismeade Real ones Just state the brand, build credibility and aren’t scared of competition? God forbid someone thinks like this and believes everything they are told. If that’s you I’ll drop the link to the course and make you millions overnight - source: trust me bro.
@jforjacob@onbknd12333@leon_ecommerce@zakaria_airak To add to this. If he did actually have a 9 figure brand. He’d name drop it, use that to build his credibility to sell more courses. It would be in his best interest to disclose the brand. He’d be able to attract higher paying clients, more investment opportunities.
@matthucius I have a feeling once you've built space goods to where you want. You will look back in irony and say "I wish i enjoyed the journey more". Says every paranoid founder ever after life changing success. The negativity bias might be the cost of entry.
@PaulNiklas8@Wise Airwallex. Wise did the exact same shit to me fortnightly it felt freezing the account. Didn’t randomly close it, but made paying invoices impossible for no reason. Haven’t had any issue with Airwallex since moving.
@matthucius Spot on. Reality is luck plays a massive factor, I'd argue it's almost impossible to determine these opportunities ahead of time otherwise we'd all be at large scales. There are too many unknowns inhibiting success at every stage, only revealing themselves 2,4,6 years in.
@EcomMame To add on to your previous post. Health niche Is competitive largely because of the High AOVs allowing legitimate scale. One of the few DS niches where I’ve seen people do mad numbers it makes you question doing private label entirely.
@EcomMame I don’t think I’ve ever found a true winner in dropshipping. Always had more success in private label. The AOVs in dropshipping imo are always fairly low so you can only scale it so far before ad costs eat up your initial 90% gross product margin.
@UgcSam If you are low 6fig. Surely you can run it all yourself. I’m in this range and I’m still solo. It’s a lot of work and it feels like you might be leaving something on the table. But if you’ve established you aren’t leaving anything, cut them. Retain your bottom line.
@matthucius Nah we just lie. We say it’s really good just to spare the conversation of explaining problems the general person wouldn’t understand and likely doesn’t care for hearing anyway
