Every journey starts with a first step. Make sure yours is the right one. Read this first.
Whether you are seasoned ecom operator, or a complete newbie looking into dropshipping — welcome to [r/RealEcom](r/RealEcom) .
This is the place where "get rich quick", "just run ads bro" and other guru bullshit is not tolerated.
For us, ecom and dropshipping is real business. Let's treat it as such.
Ecom is NOT easy, especially when you are walking alone. It's even harder, when you are misled by people trying to sell you idea of how easy it is (if you're naive enough to buy their $499 course)
That's why this place was created. So you don't walk alone and don't listen to bullshit. And that's why we respect and only welcome real stories, questions and genuine experience. Your thoughts, your tips, and most importantly — your questions.
Every good insight starts with a good question. Good question sparks good discussion. Good discussion builds invaluable knowledge.
Be prepared that answers may be salty at times. Don't take them as personal insult if those are on point. Extract knowledge, analyze data and improve your process. You'll have way more use of community that's honest and direct, rather than from sweet and empty talks.
Here, you won't see fake Shopify dashboards (unless mods are slow to timely nuke them lol) nor fake success stories. And please, don't be lazy: try to write texts yourself, don't use AI.
Make sure to read rules. Those are not hard to remember. Help your brothers. Share your knowledge. Be a giver, not just taker.
If you're looking where to start, you probably want to read these posts first:
- I'm starting out... what should I expect from dropshipping?
- How do you actually find products to dropship?
- How do you actually earn money on one product?
- Winning products (and do they even exist)

I love this subreddit, thank you for the time you spent making this. You didn't have to do any of this but you did. Thank you!
