The reality of dropshipping in 2026

job shipping is definitely one of the hardest side hustles to get into but it's not for the reasons that you might think. A lot of people think it's because oh it's over saturated or you know everyone's doing it or you know I need a degree in it or you know you have to have this marketing experience. Da da da da dude, it's not any of those reasons. The reason it's so hard is because in order to do well in 2026 is you have to relinquish control and allow AI and other people to run your whole entire business for you and that's hard for a lot of people who go to college, go for four years, go for six years, go for eight years, they spend all this money and they're like dude, I wanna grow something. You know, I wanna do it. It's like an ego. You have to delete your ego in order to do well in dropshipping. That's why you see these like 16 year old kids or 17 year old kids doing so well in dropshipping and doing so well in AI. It's because they don't have all this baggage that comes along with an ego. So they just go, dude, I just want to make a ton of money. I don't care how I go about it and they get into dropshipping and they absolutely crush it. So here is your little tutorial quick, quick on how to get into dropshipping and how to start making money. Step 1, step 1 do what I just mentioned in this video. Don't have an ego. Get into it with just the thought of dude, I just wanna sell as many products as possible and make as much money. So step 1, find a viral product. Go to Claude to do this. Step 2, create a landing page. Step 3, create ads. You can do it however you want. I use AI. Everyone that I know uses AI. That's again, right back to the premise of this. Use AI. Use AI in particular. Do your own research, but check out PagePilot.ai. So many people use them and there's a reason. As soon as you look into them, you will go like, oh, I get it. And then in addition to that, you'll be like, bro, I'm about to make so much money. Like you'll get so much hype from just looking into that software. And then you wanna run some ads or do organic marketing. If you're gonna do organic marketing, go on to TikTok. TikTok Shop in particular, sort all the videos by like high, high engagement, high likes, high comments, high views and just replicate those. Just make it for your product. Now if you have ads like do a $5 a day budget, bare minimum. It's not a lot of money, but it is the bare minimum and do location demographic. Do California, Florida, Texas, New York. Those are the states that are buying these products. And then do age demographic. So age demographic would be anywhere from like 19 to 30. Great age bracket.
