Drop shipping has been getting terrible PR for the past couple of weeks with multiple mainstream publications writing about the “drop shipping scam”. I know this will be a topic of discussion in our communities so I wanted to get this article out to provide some clarity for those who may be new to drop shipping.
After five years, the most common question I get in the comments of my blog, videos, and webinars will always be “What is drop shipping?”
To answer that question (in as much detail as possible) I have spent the last month creating the Ultimate Guide To Drop Shipping.
Although there are doubts about dropshipping success, it’s actually one of the most successful eCommerce business models. In 2018, the global drop shipping market size was valued at $102.2 billion. It was projected to grow even more by 2025.
In 2021, retail eCommerce sales were estimated at $5.2 trillion and are forecasted to grow by 56% in the next few years. According to Fundera, dropshipping is a fulfillment model for 33% of online stores.
If you still think dropshipping isn’t successful, these numbers may prove you wrong. Successful business owners also estimate a 10% dropshipping success rate during their first year of operations. Quora users even say it’s between 10% and 20%.
Although it is a low-risk business model, you still need proper planning and enough knowledge to attain success. To help you, I’ll provide some tips and discuss how you achieve your own dropshipping success story.
