[01:10]
How Dropshipping Works

The seller chooses a product from a supplier (e.g., in Brazil, US, or China), sets the price and profit margin, and connects the product to the customer. The seller is in the middle of the transaction, earning a commission.

The Magic of Dropshipping

When a sale is made, the seller processes the order, pays the supplier, and the supplier ships the product directly to the customer. The seller only needs to track delivery and send tracking info.

[04:21]
Seller Responsibility

The seller is responsible for customer service, including returns, damages, or complaints. The supplier does not handle customer communication; the seller mediates all issues.

Dropshipping as a Logistics Model

Dropshipping is a logistics model within e-commerce, not a separate business model. The creator has earned significant income through this model and offers free training on his channel.

[00:02] you'll understand what dropshipping really is, in a very simple way that even a child can understand through this video. So, sit down, grab some water, a coffee, or some tea, and stay with me until the

[00:14] quick and straight to the point. First of all, for those of you who don't know me, internet for 14 years, so I can't be modest about my experience. , with my e-commerce businesses and my digital products. So I really know a

[00:28] still consider myself a learner, you know? I have a lot to learn. I see a lot of people in the market who have been around for less than a year and already call themselves experts. Nothing against it, it's just a joke, it's just because you're saying you've had a really good

[00:41] experience over the years. So let 's get straight to the point about dropshipping. Basically, to help you understand, it's about selling products online without inventory at your home, office, rented house, or

[00:56] warehouse, because the magic of dropshipping happens with the supplier. You essentially act as an intermediary in the sale of a product that is in your structure, in your store, or on any marketplace, directly to your customer. So, just

[01:10] very simple idea of ​​the scenario, you choose a product from a particular supplier. It can Brazil, for example, in the United States or China, and with its own structure and even pricing, profit margin, you define it. You will

[01:25] connect the product that is in your supplier to your customer, and you are in the middle of this transaction, acting as an intermediary in the sales transaction and thus earning a commission, which would be your profit on the

[01:38] sale that you yourself determined in your store, on the marketplace, such as Shopee, . So, just so you understand, that's what dropshipping is. It's nothing more than a different kind of logistics from traditional methods, because unlike the more traditional method,

[01:53] an example. Let's say you want to sell gym clothes. You need to find a supplier or a factory, buy a batch of these clothes, store them at your home, in the office, in a warehouse, because the manufacturer

[02:08] for example, won't offer a place to store your merchandise, because sometimes they don't even have one and it would generate a certain cost for that supplier or stock somewhere, it could even be at your mother-in-law's house if possible, but that's where the difficulty

[02:22] lies. The concept, the format of an online store with [music] inventory is very interesting, but we can't romanticize the process; it's more 'm not saying it's impossible, that it 's simply not profitable; on the

[02:34] can't deny that you have extra work involved, because when you work with inventory at your home or your mother-in-law's house, when you make a sale in simply have to gather all that customer data and start

[02:48] take those leggings, for example, the workout ones, you're going to have to pack them, you're going to have to label them, [music] you're going to have to take them to the post office or any logistics company, and then that product will arrive at your customer's house

[03:01] you have to follow through this process? I know many people who have prospered, who are now millionaires, who have truly changed their lives significantly through this e-commerce model. That's where

[03:14] dropshipping comes in. Dropshipping, the online store format, the way of selling same way as if you had inventory. It's the same thing, but the magic lies directly with the supplier, because there are suppliers

[03:27] that offer this delivery format, which is dropshipping. So, when you make a sale in your online store, which is the normal, traditional method, the same as few clicks you will obviously have to check customer data, see if

[03:40] all the information is correct there, address, number, full name, documentation. Then you'll have to process that order, meaning you'll pay for it directly to your supplier, and your supplier, using

[03:52] directly to your customer's home. That's right, you won't need to package or label the product. The most you'll have to do supplier, when you place that order with the supplier, is to track the delivery and

[04:06] send the tracking code information to your customer. Delivery is entirely your responsibility, even if something goes wrong, if it gets stolen or something You are responsible for mediating this sale. So, understand

[04:21] doesn't like the product, or it arrives damaged, they won't send a message sort of thing. He'll message you directly, and that's confuse dropshipping as a business model, right? Dropshipping is simply

[04:36] a logistics model within the business model called e-commerce. It's a format that [music] has made me [music] a lot of money through the internet, and I still earn that money today. And many people also benefit, especially those
