If you’ve been curious about starting an online business but feel overwhelmed by complicated jargon, don’t worry. Let’s break it down together.
Dropshipping, in simple terms, is a way to sell products online without keeping any inventory. Instead of buying products in bulk and storing them in your garage or a warehouse, you list products for sale on your online store. When a customer places an order, you forward that order to your supplier, and the supplier ships the product directly to your customer.
That’s it. You don’t need to worry about packaging, shipping, or holding stock. Your role is to build the store, market it, and manage customer relationships.
How Does Dropshipping Work Step by Step?
Here’s the simplest way to understand the process:
- You choose a niche - ideally products that sell for $200+ so you can earn higher profits.
- You build your store - I recommend Shopify because it’s beginner-friendly, affordable, and trusted by real suppliers.
- You get approved with suppliers - these are the companies that stock and ship the products you’ll sell.
- You drive buyer traffic - using Google Shopping Ads, SEO, and retargeting to bring in customers who are already searching for your products.
- The supplier ships directly - when a customer buys, you send the order to your supplier, who fulfills it on your behalf.
Your profit is simply the difference between what you charge the customer and what the supplier charges you.

Hey Everyone,
As many of you already know, I created Drop Ship Lifestyle after selling a network of eCommerce stores and then trying to find a community of other store owners to network with… What I found was a bunch of scammers who promised newbies they would get rich quickly by following their push-button systems!
This led me to create a new community along with an online training program that shares how to build a REAL online business.
I’d love to hear what you think… It’s a 2.5-hour training designed to help you drop ship profitably… all for free.
