    First of all, do you know your cost per acquisition? Meaning, how much in advertising is it going to cost to get people to buy one product? If you spend $20 in facebook ads to get one purchase on average, for a $10 product, you lose $10 bucks. If you are relying on seo alone for a product that has high competition you aren't going to make sales

    Exactly. This is something may people underestimate. In the end the numbers have to add up accordingly to be successful.

    @OP:

    Are you talking about a real eCommerce business or an affiliate model? Since you mentioned "AliExpress commissions" I'm not completely sure. I would rather do a complete eCom business, since your profits per sale will be much higher. However, it comes down to how you market it. And about AliExpress, people won't be redirected to AliExpress and I highly recommend to not do something like that. People will be confused if they land on a Chinese website in the end of the buying process.

    Please take a look at my YouTube video about the common eCommerce mistakes. The audio quality is quite bad but gets better in the other videos. There you should be able to identify whether your business is based on one of these mistakes.

        If you have no budget then reconsider doing eCommerce. Dropshipping gives you the feeling that you don't need anything to start since you can use your customers money, but this is a huge misconception. Store fees, advertising (!), upfront costs if you cannot access your mone immediately and more are factors which definetly require more than just $50.

        I'm sorry to link another video of mine, but this one is about a good dropshipping budget, there I explain why it makes sense to start with $500+.
