How and how much do dropshippers make?
Searching for and buying goods on the Internet has already become a familiar activity. People like anything that is convenient and easy. Traditional trips to the store are tiring for some, but for others they remain a part of relaxation. When we need to buy something urgently, here and now, we pull out our mobile phones and place an order. As the dropshipping market continues to grow rapidly, with an estimated compound annual growth rate of 32% from 2021 to 2026, it's time to start thinking about your own online business.
Dropshipping is often underestimated and confused with the mundane resale of popular products with a small markup. This is far from being the case. Dropshipping can be a great start for a new business or a good addition to an existing one.

Experiments and Predictions
Dropshipping significantly reduces warehousing and inventory management costs because the seller doesn't store the goods in-house. The supplier ships the goods directly, so logistics costs are also minimal. The seller takes care of sales and marketing. By constantly experimenting, observing the actions of competitors and correctly identifying trends, it is possible to identify a whole group of goods for which there is already or is predicted to be an increased demand.

Profit dropshippers
It is very easy to start an online business. It is enough to have your own "trading place" - a website or at least a page on the Internet. You can create a website on e-commerce platforms such as Shopify or Wix.
The income of the dropshipper is the difference between the initial cost of the goods, set by the supplier, and the price at which he sells this product to the customer. Not to mention the overhead costs of advertising and running the business.
A dropshipper's success depends on the size and scope of his business, the products he sells, his financial capabilities, and his investment in marketing and customer service. With the right strategy, dropshippers can make 20-40% profit on each sale.
