Q & A

What is the most important factor to consider when scaling a dropshipping business in 2025?

The most important factor is paid advertising. While organic methods may work occasionally, paid ads, especially Facebook ads, are the most reliable way to validate products and scale a business quickly.

Why is paid advertising considered crucial for a beginner dropshipper?

Paid advertising provides predictable, sustainable growth and is the most effective way to validate a product. It offers a faster route to success compared to relying on organic traffic, which is unpredictable for beginners.

How much should a beginner spend on Facebook ads when starting a dropshipping campaign?

A beginner should start with a budget of $50 to $100 per day. This is considered a 'minimum viable test budget' that will give you meaningful data to work with.

What is the recommended approach for targeting when setting up a Facebook ad campaign?

The approach should be broad targeting. Facebook's algorithm is advanced enough to find your potential buyers without the need to overcomplicate targeting with lookalikes or niche demographics.

What type of creatives should be used for initial Facebook ad campaigns?

Video ads are recommended, specifically with three to four different videos showcasing various hooks. These can be further tested with different primary text and headlines to see what resonates best with the audience.

How do you create effective ad content for Facebook ads?

Effective ad content should include a strong visual hook within the first two seconds, demonstrate the main benefits of the product clearly, have an authentic presentation style (not overly polished), and include a concise call to action.

Can you use pre-existing content for your Facebook ads, and how?

Yes, you can use pre-existing content, such as videos from suppliers or competitors, for initial testing. This helps quickly validate your product concept before investing in custom content or creating original material.

How do you determine if your Facebook ads are successful after running them?

After running ads for 3-4 days, you should have enough data to see if your product has potential. If the ad performs well and drives conversions, it indicates the product is viable.

What is the key difference between a successful dropshipper and someone who fails?

The key difference is taking action. Successful dropshippers take their first step, build their store, and begin testing, while many others get stuck in an endless cycle of watching videos and taking notes without starting.

What is the focus of the mentor's 10-week one-on-one mentorship program?

The mentorship program focuses on helping individuals implement the exact strategies that the mentor uses to build successful stores. It includes guidance on setting up the store, choosing products, creating ads, and scaling the business.
