The rise of e-commerce has changed the way people shop for their favorite products. It isn’t an exaggeration to say that you can buy anything under the sun online these days. All it takes is to search the web or launch an app to start sifting through tons of products and finding what you need. But aside from the biggest names in e-commerce, it’s worth mentioning that smaller players are also doing their part in revolutionizing the industry. A case in point is dropshipping, where sellers don’t need to maintain a physical inventory of products to start selling online.
Dropshipping as a business
You would stumble upon stories of people earning much more from their online business compared to their 9 to 5 jobs every day. Sometimes, these stories might sound too good to be true. That’s precisely what Louis Cooke felt when he first heard about dropshipping.
Louis is a 23-year-old entrepreneur from the UK. Like most people, he wanted to get out of his day job to start his own business. But without a large capital, he initially struggled to get started. Louis has experience in the e-commerce industry, building physical brands and selling them online. But when he learned about dropshipping, he knew it would be a gamechanger.
The idea of selling online without touching any physical product fascinated Louis. Even without fully understanding the ins and outs, he decided to give it a try. And just one week into his new venture, Louis made much more money than he expected, encouraging him to leave his job and pursue dropshipping full time.
From entrepreneur to mentor
As Louis was researching about dropshipping, he found out that this space was littered with several so-called dropshipping experts, each one claiming to hold the keys to success. But as he would later find out, most of them didn’t know what they were talking about. It’s one thing to say how to do something, but it’s an entirely different story to show tangible proof about what you preach.
For instance, many dropshipping experts recommend using Facebook ads to drive traffic to a brand new dropshipping website instantly. But using social media ads may prove too costly for beginners. Not to mention, these ads are known to generate low-quality leads, especially if they’re not optimized and targeted correctly. Many beginners end up spending a lot of money on Facebook ads without generating a single sale.
Louis wants to change all this. He aims to offer value to people who've had enough of the 9 to 5 lifestyle and want to turn their life around. Louis now provides mentorship services to aspiring dropshippers, which involves 1-on-1 training sessions designed to hit one milestone after another.
He has also started a YouTube channel and an Instagram account where he pushes content regularly. Through his posts and videos, you’ll see how genuine and passionate Louis is about dropshipping. His followers appreciate the candidness in his range, as evidenced by the continuous growth of his community. This is how he differentiates himself from other self-proclaimed gurus. By offering real value to other people, Louis aims to motivate and inspire them to reach their dreams.
