Side Hustlign Ep. 28: I Hope Today's Dropshipping Side Hustle Doesn't BUG You

Hey guys, Rules for Rebels back with episode 28 of Side Hustle Thursdays.

Today's side hustle story is about dropshipping, but a bit of a different and more interesting take on dropshipping. The side hustler in today's story was selling live crickets to reptile owners.

Watch today's episode to hear all about it. The main lesson I want you to take away from today's story is that drop shipping is all about research.

Finding a product on Ali Express to dropship is lazy and easy and you'll be competing with the 90% of other dropshippers out there who are lazy and bad at research.

The true gems as far as niches and suppliers are going to be found deep within Google searches, sometimes 10 or 20 pages deep and that's what Jeff found.

When Jeff was searching for cricket suppliers he found a bunch of them on the first page of Google but their prices were high and their business model didn't leave him much room to make money. After doing a lot of researching and finding himself about 10 pages into a Google search, what a world we live in that there's 10 pages worth of cricket farms, he finally stumbled upon a small family owned farm and business.

There website wans't as polished as the rest but he had a more personal relationship with his supplier, they offered the crickets to him at a lower price leaving him room to make better margins and they shipped USPS which made the product cost cheaper for customers and also made it easier for Jeff to anticipate shipping costs.

Jeff's first month he made over $1200. Watch today's hustle and drop a comment with your thougths.
