How I Made $20,000 PROFIT In 1 MONTH with DROPSHIPPING

Introduction

It took me over a year to find my first winning dropshipping product, which earned me over $ 9,000 last month. But this time, I made over $ 20,000 in profit within a single month. Here’s how I did it step-by-step.

Finding the Winning Product

The first step in dropshipping success is finding a winning product. I employed the "banner method":

  1. Create a new TikTok account.
  2. Search for dropshipping-related hashtags like “TikTok made me buy it” or “my product is useless”.
  3. Engage with these videos by liking and commenting.

Your TikTok feed will then be filled with potential dropshipping products. After hours of scrolling, I found an automatic stirrer and a desk water dispenser. I quickly ordered them from Amazon, but soon realized they weren’t viable products. They were more gimmicks than useful items, so I didn’t bother testing them further.

The Stoveless Cooking Pot: My Viral Product

The next product I tested—a stoveless cooking pot—went viral after just two days. The unique selling point was its ability to cook anywhere as long as there’s an electric socket. On TikTok, people were cooking full meals in it, which added to its appeal.

Ordering and Testing

I ordered the product and created two new TikTok accounts, one with a US SIM card and another with a UK SIM card. This helps in targeting specific audiences. I began posting videos almost immediately, and my second video hit over 12 million views.

Viral Strategy

I saw an account with a similar product get 29 million views and decided to replicate their video—but better. I introduced a controversial element by intentionally leaving chicken undercooked to spark engagement. The controversy did grab attention, but initially, no one bought the product. I then started cooking the chicken properly in subsequent videos, which led to virality and sales.

However, I faced three significant issues:

  1. Market Saturation: Too many other dropshippers were selling the same product.
  2. Supplier Issues: I couldn’t find an exact match for the product.
  3. Personal Fatigue: Cooking every day was too stressful.

Ultimately, I refunded the customers and moved on.

Mini Handheld Sewing Machine: Consistent Sales

My next successful product was a mini handheld sewing machine. Initially, I tried TikTok ads, which were profitable but inconsistent. Nevertheless, I managed to make about $ 700 in profit in February.

Switching to Organic

I decided to switch to organic methods by creating TikTok videos and reposting them on Instagram Reels. For two weeks, nothing happened. Eventually, one of my Instagram videos blew up, generating over 15 million views and bringing in over $ 10,000 in sales, translating to $ 6,700 in profit for March.

Other Products and Final Earnings

In addition to the sewing machine, I made $ 4,000 in profit from previous products and over $ 10,000 from another product (which I’ll detail in a future video). All of this collectively contributed to the $ 20,000 profit in one month.
