Is dropshipping worth it in 2021?

Is dropshipping still worth it in 2021? Maybe you are wondering the same question. A lot of people say that the competition is so intense now and there is no room for you. But it’s not true. Dropshipping is not dead. And there’s still the chance for you to join. If you don’t join now, then you have missed out on the opportunity to make money.

So, if you are planning to start a dropshipping business this year, keep reading on. We will discuss some arguments that people usually take when they think that dropshipping is already dead and then you will find the answers for yourself. The first myth is:

All the prime years of dropshipping are gone?

Definitely not. If you search for the keyword “dropshipping” on Google Trends, you will see that the trend line still continues to go up. And from that graph, no one can tell that all the prime years of dropshipping are gone. In fact, it becomes more and more popular now. And it’s not saturated yet.

The number of people who are interested in this business model has been increasing regardless of economic crises or political turmoil. There is a dramatic surge in public interest in dropshipping since 5 years ago. That means this retail model is just in its early stage, and the end is still yet to come.

There’s still room for newcomers. And there are still chances for you to succeed. Dropshipping now accounts for a promising percentage of global purchases, which is a good sign for all of you.

Beside that, people also think that any new business branch will defeat dropshipping. And here is the argument they made:

Dropsurfing will replace dropshipping soon?

Well, dropsurfing is not even a new business. It basically means surfing on the wave of suppliers to source the best-priced products. But that is exactly what we are doing now with dropshipping. When you look through a bunch of suppliers or dropshipping agent to find the products for your store, you are dropsurfing. This is not a new business model nor a revolutionary strategy. It’s just another way to name one step of dropshipping business. So, don’t be afraid of those kinds of new terms, as you know that there’s nothing groundbreaking then.

There is extreme competition out there?

The tough competition is true. We’re not gonna lie to you. But wait! What kind of that business if there is no competition? Competition is everywhere. This is such a common fear for any entrepreneur. Because if anything gets popular so fast, then a lot of people would jump into it and make money from it.

The more popular it becomes, the more intense the competition is. If you keep being afraid but do nothing, you lose the chance to make money. That’s what the competition is. Only people who work really hard and never give up so easily will win.

But let’s look on the bright side. The tough competition will teach you better than anything else. You will learn so fast and improve yourself, your store, or your product much better. You will feel the motivation to keep creating new ideas and growing your business. And that even brings you more profits and success.

There’s no way you can make money from dropshipping?

Oh yeah, you must be kidding me. There are so many success stories out there that you can refer to. The fact that you can easily start a dropshipping business with little money doesn’t mean that you cannot make any money out of it.

It’s easy to start, but it’s not so easy to succeed. Most people fail for many reasons. And those people do not represent all dropshippers. Those who succeed are the most powerful examples. And you can do that if you go in the right direction. Many people concern that the profit margin is low. But it should not be an excuse for not making money with dropshipping. You can still make a great deal of money out of it.

Furthermore, as we have discussed in recent articles that now online shopping is the new eCommerce trend, dropshipping will be more and more popular. And this is a great chance for you to start your own online business and start making profits. All big brands start from a humble beginning like Amazon or Zappos.

There are many reasons why a person may fail with dropshipping. But those who are patient enough, willing to learn, keep improving, and creating new things, and those who are not afraid of challenges will go ahead of the competition. They can make thousands or millions of dollars with this business model. So don’t be afraid. Just be persistent with what you are doing. One day, you will be happy for doing that.
