That\u2019s definitely an enormous leap and a very possible one.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what does this mean for you, the dropshipper? It means that the opportunity to increase your dropshipping profit and make more money will just keep growing as time passes.

However, the expectations don\u2019t really matter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve seen from countless examples, it is very possible to make a few thousand dollars a month, a few hundred thousand, and well over millions of dollars within even your first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My advice is not to focus on the expectations or to compare yourself with how much others have made.

She quickly found success by scaling her store from nothing to $1k every single day. To sum up, that\u2019s about $30.000 every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maria first got into dropshipping by starting an incredibly unsuccessful <a href=\"https:\/\/dropshipping.com\/article\/jewelry-dropshipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jewelry dropshipping<\/a> store. After facing the harsh reality of zero dropshipping profit and lots of money spent on <a href=\"https:\/\/dropshipping.com\/article\/facebook-ads-for-dropshipping\/\">Facebook ads<\/a>, she did this:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maria started doing real research on which products work currently.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>She diversified and used other sales channels other than Facebook.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li>She used Pinterest to consistently find products that sell well and have an acceptable average dropshipping margin to make her money back quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li>Lastly, Maria took advantage of some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dropshipping.com\/article\/10-best-shopify-dropshipping-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best Shopify dropshipping apps<\/a> to scale her store.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-did-maria-sell\">What Did Maria Sell?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, Maria first started selling jewelry. However, it quickly backfired due to a lack of knowledge and research.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But still, she didn\u2019t give up on the niche and just started to learn more about how to do proper product research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, Maria still dropships jewelry to this day and is quite successful at it considering her average dropshipping profit is $1k per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-did-maria-succeed\">How Did Maria Succeed?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Maria Jones mainly pulled through by learning how to find out what people want to buy instead of guessing like she used to do before.
