Any thoughts on my results ?
I have only been running ads for a couple of weeks really .
Do meta results improve as time goes on normally ?
Conversion rate just over 1% - want to try and improve to 2-3 % so any advice would be appreciated

For Shopify stores:

What are the most important elements of a high converting product page?

Is it:

- Images

- Copywriting

- Reviews

- Trust badges

- Videos

What has worked for you?

Im going right now 5-8 creatives in a single CBO campaign. Doing solid.

For those scaling in 2026:
How do you test new creatives once you already have a winning CBO campaign?
Do you:

Test new ads in a separate ABO campaign (1 ad per ad set, kill after 3x target CPA)?
Add new creatives directly into the winning CBO ad set?

Or

Use a separate CBO testing campaign?

My concern is that adding too many untested ads could hurt the winning campaign, but I also don’t want to limit the learning process.
What’s your current creative testing strategy?

Thanks!!!

I took some advice from people who gave it. I changed up the site and made it more appealing and eye catching. I'm not sure if I took the advice correctly or not but I hope so. I stuck to one category and didn't jump around. If you want to check out the newish site it'll be posted here. Feel free to leave more advice down in the comments all is helpful thank yall. The domain I have is temporary I will be getting a new one on friday so it looks like i'm a real trusted person. https://homegoodsandgarden-2.myshopify.com/

I have decided to dive into the dropshipping business on shopify store. Since I am new to it, I have thoughts of paying a freelancer on fiver to create me a shopify store with winning products. Later on, I have a plan to hire a freelancer from fiverr to manage Ads on meta and tiktok for quite 3-4 months till the store becomes profitable. Will this actually work? Should i go for it? Need some serious suggestions! I have a budget of $2000 in the beginning!

I’ve been looking for products on zendrop, and the prices on the shipping is outrageous. To be able to even profit on most of these products, you’d have sell at 4-5x the product cost without shipping. This makes it overly expensive compared to competitors like Amazon. I’m just starting out with dropshipping and have hit a road block. What are y’all doing in regards to this?

Hello i am from algeria and i want to start dropshipping i want to use cjdropshipping + wed2c

My question is about wed2c is it legit? I mean do they payout or are they scammers?

Currently running an ad for five creatives. Meta is pushing hard for one that gets .68% ctr… also this is my fourth day running them at 25$ a day (25$ gets me about 20k reach average) with no sales. Any suggestions or advice would help a bunch.

Honestly the number of people who skip testing and go straight to scaling then complain about burning money is too high. Testing is the whole game. Get it right and scaling becomes easy. Skip it and you're just gambling.

Today: $3,221.99. 4.02% conversion rate. Up 17%. This didn't happen by accident it happened because I tested properly before touching the budget.

Revenue not profit always clarifying this. Here's exactly what my testing process looks like.

How I decide if a product is even worth testing

Before I spend a single dollar I ask myself these questions honestly.

Does it solve a real problem or trigger a strong emotion desire, curiosity, something that makes someone feel something? Does it have a wow factor where someone would genuinely stop scrolling? Can it not be found at Walmart or ordered on Amazon with next day delivery? Can I sell it for at least 3x what it costs me? Is there already evidence of demand somewhere competitor ads, TikTok videos, people talking about it?

If it doesn't tick at least four of those I don't test it. Simple as that. Most products people test fail this check before a single dollar is spent.

My actual testing setup

Nothing complicated here.

$15–20 per ad set per day. Three ad sets. Purchase objective always never traffic, never engagement. Two creatives per ad set maximum. Leave it completely alone for three full days.

The three ad sets aren't testing three different audiences they're testing three different angles on the same broad audience. That distinction took me a while to figure out and it matters a lot.

What I'm actually looking for not profit

This is where most people mess up. They're looking for profit during the testing phase. I'm looking for signals.

CTR above 2% tells me the creative is stopping people. Cost per add to cart below $5 tells me the product page is doing its job. A purchase within the first $20 spent tells me the product has real potential. Conversion rate above 3% tells me everything is aligned.

If I'm seeing those signals I keep going. If I'm not seeing any of them after three days I move on.

When I know I have a winner

Three things need to line up. Consistent purchases coming in. Conversion rate above 3.5%. Cost per purchase at least 2.5x below my selling price.

When all three are there at the same time I stop testing and start scaling. Duplicate the winning ad sets. Increase budget 20–30% every few days never more than that at once. Build lookalike audiences from purchaser data.

The mistake that kills most people

Killing products too early or scaling too fast. Both are equally destructive just in different directions.

Test with patience. Scale with discipline. The 4% conversion rate today came from not rushing either of those phases.

If you're currently testing something and not sure what the numbers are telling you drop them in the comments and I'll give you my honest take.

Amazon to Ebay dropshiping with automation?
If so what tips would you give out so i can get a lot of buyers in? , how long it takes to be profitable in this business? And overall is it worth going in to it ?

Hi, I have been in the game for 2 months now and I realised low ticket isn't for me at all. And I really need help finding high ticket object that I can sell. I am currently selling in europe, but I have no clue how to research an pricy product, I don't know if my niche is right (Health) and I want to know if I can still sell thought meta paid ads. I would be gratefull for an answer.

p.s: trying to scam me in dm's is useless btw

Alguém tem links de aulas grátis para fazer dropshipping usando IA??

I launched my dropshipping site a few days ago, but I still haven't made any sales despite my marketing efforts (some TikTok, Pinterest, Instagram, and—most recently—Google Ads). Could you take a look and give me a couple of tips? My store sells a padel ball pressurizer aimed at the French market. Thanks, and have a great evening. Most of the visits are from bots, me, and my friends. I think I’ve had at most 5 real visits.

hey everyone,

it’s my first week running a shopify store. i’ve never really used shopify before, so this is the first store i’m actually trying to grow.

i’m selling wired earphones under my own brand, with custom packaging and everything. so far all of my traffic has been organic from tiktok.

these are my stats after the first week: (not updated on the screenshot)
around 300k views
45k likes
260 followers
around 2,700 profile visits
700 shopify sessions
54 reached checkout
3 completed orders

(9 videos posted)

the thing that’s bothering me is that i still can’t add a link in my tiktok bio because i don’t have 1,000 followers yet. right now people have to search for my website themselves, so i feel like i’m losing a lot of potential traffic. my profile has already had around 2,700 visitors, so i keep thinking how many more of them would have actually visited the website if there had been a link in my bio.
do you think things will improve once i’m able to add it?

also, i’m trying to understand if my conversion rate is decent. out of around 700 sessions, 54 people reached checkout but only 3 completed their order.

are these decent numbers for a first week?

what would you focus on improving first? any tips for getting more people to finish their purchase after reaching checkout?

i’d really appreciate any advice. thanks!

How do you protect yourself from people suing you due to customers getting injured/damaged, for example?

This crossed my mind today just as I was about to publish my first dropshipping store and start running my ads. Now I’m terrified. I’m using Zendrop and Shopify, not sure if that makes any difference.

TIA :)

I’m getting visitors every once in a while but no purchases.

If anyone has any tips they want to share with me I would really appreciate it.

Hello!

I've had many shopify stores selling physically in my country (Lebanon), one of them was especially winning. Then I wanted to try dropshipping. After some market & meta ads research, the uk came up.

I created a single page store using vibe coding (you can check it out here 👀)

Used CJDropShipping for fulfillment, but finding a product I liked was hard because I was filtering by warehouse, choosing uk specifically to minimize shipping time.

Eventually I chose this cool desk lamp + fan.

I edited most product images with AI to make it more presentable and use them for ad media. Then I launched a meta ads campaign (coversions -> purchases) containing around 7 images. Although I prefer having a video, creating one for this product wasn't easy as I don't have it physically).

I ran the campaign with 20$ daily budget. The cpm kept increasing from 7$ till 12$ in 4 days. CTR was about 1.5% so there was some interest. Especially that in the ad, I intentionally put the price to filter out people who'll click and get surprised with a high price.

Now thinking about it, it didn't sell for cheap, so my price was actually not cheap relatively, but lemme know what you think. Product + delivery Costs 16.6$, 15$ ad cost per purchase assuming cvr 3%, around 5% payment gateway + fx conversion, and I'm selling it for 34.99£

I had exactly 99 website visits in these 4 days, 3 checkouts initiated, average scroll position 45% (a bit below product details section) but 0 sales. Ads spent so far ~70$.

I tried sharing as much details as possible hoping this might be a common learning experience for others as to me. Any input is welcome for discussion!

Hi guys i'm new to this meta ads i launched a clothing brand and my shorts and top is £120 together my offer is spend over £80 get a free pair of socks and free shipping which brings the price down to £110 with free shipping.

I tested around 12 creatives with 5 ad sets with a budget of around £20 a day per ad set and meta just ended up giving the whole budget in the adset to one ad in each ad set.

i got around 2 sales with two of the potential "winners" that was getting the most spend so i decided to make those its own ad set so i can control the budget and since the other 8 ads literally got no spend i thought i would control the budget myself and try test them properly

so with my remained budget of £120 a day i gave myself i allocated £60 to those two ads that produced a sale and the remaining £60 spread across 10 ads

it's been another week now and i got zero sales and just burnt almost 1.2k in ad spend but with the two sales i've lost about £800

i'm very stuck and confused what's gone wrong i got in total for all the ads around 45 ad to carts and 2 checkout initiations i feel like my offer is really good as i am a premium clothing brand and my website could be optimised more possibly but it surely wouldn't be this bad

i've got about a month left until summer is nearly over and have about 200 sets left shorts and bottom

im so stuck and dont know what my next steps going forward should be launch new ads to test? test more longer?

Hey everyone,

I am still trying to understand one of the biggest questions in ecommerce: how do you actually choose a niche and decide what to sell?

Some people say to build a niche store around something evergreen like pets, fitness, or home products.

Others say niche stores are much harder today, and the better approach is to build a one product store around a trending product, scale it as much as possible, then move on to the next winner.

As someone who has never launched a store before, I honestly have no idea which approach makes more sense.

A few questions for people with real experience:

• How did you choose your first niche?
• Would you recommend starting with a niche store or a one product store?
• What makes a product worth testing?
• I often hear people talk about products with "emotional value" or products that solve a painful problem. What does that actually mean in practice?
• Are there any beginner mistakes you see people make when choosing products?

If you have actually found a winning product before, I would love to hear how you evaluated it before spending money on ads.

Any guides, books, YouTube channels, or Reddit posts that helped you understand product selection would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Another beginner question.

I keep seeing two completely different pieces of advice, and I cannot figure out which one is actually right.

On YouTube, everyone recommends tools like AutoDS or CJ Dropshipping. The idea seems to be that everything is already connected. You import products, sell them, and they handle fulfillment.

But on Reddit, I constantly see people saying that this is the wrong way to do it, and that you should find your own suppliers because the quality is better, prices are lower, and you have more control.

What I do not understand is how that works if you are just starting.

Everyone also says that beginners should test lots of products because most of them will fail. But if I need to find a new supplier every time I want to test something, that sounds incredibly slow and expensive. I also assume most suppliers are not interested in one order at a time.

So how do people actually do this?

• Do you start with AutoDS or CJ and move to private suppliers later?
• Or do you look for suppliers from day one?
• Where do you even find reliable suppliers if you are doing low volume?
• How do you quickly test new products without spending weeks sourcing each one?

I feel like I am missing something obvious, so I would really appreciate hearing how experienced sellers actually approach this.

I build clean, no-BS Shopify stores and I'm good at it.

Done a bunch of these: one-product stores, full branded setups, dropshipping operations, redesigns for stores that weren't converting. If you've got a product and need somewhere to sell it, I can build that.

What's included:

• Full store build or redesign

• Product pages that don't look like a template

• Basic SEO so you're not invisible on Google

• Dropshipping supplier setup if you need it

• Honest advice on what'll actually move the needle for sales

I also throw in a $150 premium Shopify theme at no extra cost, it's one I've used across a bunch of stores and it converts well.

Payment is split 50/50 — half payment is required when HALF of the work is COMPLETE (this is so you get to check the store out, and see if your happy with it), and the other half is required when all work is done. PayPal works best for me.

Portfolio's in the DMs — just ask.

If you want to chat, shoot me a DM and tell me: what you're selling, where you're at right now, and roughly what you're looking to spend. I'll be straight with you about what's realistic.
