About this episode

The episode discusses how to start a dropshipping business on Shopify, focusing on customer targeting and essential setup costs.

In this throwback episode of the Dropship Podcast, we dive headfirst into starting a dropshipping biz on Shopify, this is especially one for new dropshippers. We tackle the big ol' question every rookie has: "What on earth should I sell?" Jon's got a hot take – forget hunting for that one "winning product" and start by zeroing in on your ideal customer and what makes them tick. We're talking about niching down by people, not products, and it's all about their passions and interests. We also run through the basics of what you'll shell out cash for when setting up your Shopify store. We're talking domains, shop themes, branding bits from Fiverr, and of course, Google Ads.
