A step-by-step guide to starting a dropshipping business: follow influencers on Twitter for product ideas, watch YouTube tutorials, test 20 to 50 products quickly to find winners, then build a branded business. The speaker's own three-hour tutorial made $300 profit on day one.
If I wanted to start dropshipping in 2026, this is what I would do. First things first, you need to download Twitter and politely come over and follow these guys right here. Twitter is where everyone leaks all the sauce for some reason. You have to be able to decipher when someone's trying to sell you something or if they're just trying to provide value. That's very important. But next I would probably go watch some tutorial on YouTube. I have some on my channel. Recently I just posted a video, like a three hour video where I literally walk through the entire process of setting up an entire store. And the store literally made 300 profit on day one. But you need to understand that that video I published is like the bare bones. Like it is the basics of E Comm. I think in that video I went on to a site called Kaylee Data and I just ripped a product basically from there, which is not sustainable long term. So you should not be doing this like constantly. You should learn how to actually brand a product, how to find angles, how to find a way to market something and make yourself stand out in a saturated niche, which you can go back to Twitter and do. From then on, you're just gonna start testing products, you're start ripping. You don't need a mentorship, you don't need someone to hold your hand. You just need to put in the reps and the effort. And from the first five products you test, you're gonna gain so much knowledge and you just got to keep testing product and probably buy your like anywhere from 20th to 50th is what usually happens to most people. You'll find a winner and then from then you need to actually make this into like something you can scale long term, which this is like the big separation point with, you know, pump and dumpers versus people who actually build brands. But we're just talking about how we're getting started in 2026. So that's going to be another video. But mainly the biggest thing is just to get started, take action as quickly as possible because failure and experience are the two, two best teachers in the world. Anytime you have a problem or an issue, go to YouTube. Everything's on YouTube nowadays. And if you give it enough time and if you stick to it long enough, you will succeed.
