Dropshipping is one of the easiest ways to start a business nowadays. Using a third-party app that does everything from holding the product to delivery is seamless and convenient. However, as simple as it sounds, not everyone is lucky enough to strike gold with their store. Those who fail to reach the numbers so many gurus preach are led to believe dropshipping is dead or just pure luck.

So to prove dropshipping is more than mere luck and is very much alive, YouTuber Sebastian Ghiorghiu started a dropshipping contest.

The Breakdown

I thought I would never attempt dropshipping again after my past failed stores. Not making a single sale after hours and hours of work is demotivating. I completely threw away the idea of drop shipping.

That is until October 14th, when Sebastian announced his contest with a YouTube video.

In the video, Sebastian gave the rule that you had to create a dropshipping store and earn $500 in profit to be considered for a prize of $5000. The grand prize of $25,000 would be given to the person with the most profit.

Instantly, I knew I wasn’t going to win the grand prize, but the $5000 seemed attainable.
