Need advice to generate more sales

quinnline24

I am just starting out to dropship. I have found a couple suppliers and I have had a few products online for a couple months. I'm getting discouraged because not one thing has sold. At first, just to get the hang of listing, I listed personal items and they all sold fast. None of the items listed to dropship have. I'm getting a little discouraged. Any advice?

Are the prices close to your competition's prices?

Hi Heather and welcome to the forum

It really could be any number of things affecting sales. For example, Jacob's question about competitive pricing is an important one. You have to know your competition inside out and be able to compete effectively.

If you can send a link to your items I'll take a look and see if I can make some suggestions for you.

Cheers

I'm right in line with the competitors. I chose the price that the same item sold for. I,ve had a "coach" who seems to think my listings are ok. I have about 25 listings of various products. I don't really have a niche yet. Something that makes it hard to find things to sell is I have to price my item to cover the cost and shipping (I have free shipping), which I have to allow about $20 for shipping and then add on what profit I can try to make. So if I buy something from a supplier for $30, I have to add about $20 on to cover shipping and then add a little for profit. My ebay I'd is Quinnline2424
