I have a quick question for you. Do you honestly think there is still room for drop shipping right now or the market is saturated already? I am seeying so many people wanting to learn and I have the feeling that there are actually (or will be soon) more seller than buyer LOL.. I am exagerating here but you know what I mean. thanks a lot for your reply. cheers Isabella Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111348363788780242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-33495041645780756172017-09-20T06:07:09.469-07:002017-09-20T06:07:09.469-07:00Hey Imran, dropshipping is definitely the best fir...Hey Imran, dropshipping is definitely the best first business for people to get into online. If you were American, Australian or etc, I 'd say go with Anton's course 100%, but being from the U.K. it's a bit tricky. I know some people have made it work but it isn't as straightforward. I'd recomend starting with dropshipping from China, then using the profits from that to take Anton's course if you can make that work. Here's how to start: http://www.johnnyfd.com/2017/09/how-to-start-dropshipping-store-on.html<br /><br />Johnny FDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16606448957561483887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-83059068250546446622017-09-19T11:00:44.664-07:002017-09-19T11:00:44.664-07:00Hey Johnny,
I've been looking into drop shipp...Hey Johnny,<br /><br />I've been looking into drop shipping for a while and have been undecisive whether to go ahead - as my initial thinking was; it's too good to be true! After, finding your podcasts and listened to multiple guests on your show with yourself, I def see thats its something genuine and worth taking a shot at. <br /><br />I'm based in the UK and looking to get started but have a few questions which hopefully you could shed some light. <br /><br />1) I'm assuming you would recommend Antons premium course at $2K - If this is still quiet expensive, are there any other good enough resources that I could use to start up a successful drop shipping business in the meantime? <br /><br />2) My initial impression from my reading was that you create a store via adding products from Oberlo as well as forming supplier relations with manufacturers - I assumed these manufacturers were those in China and not in your country. But after reading one of your answers above (July 21 16) - You say find suppliers in your own country. I had no idea of this and feeling sceptical of how you would form fulfilment relations with suppliers here in the UK as its not something which is normal practice (That I know of) - Or can you start a drop shipping site with manufacturers/suppliers from all over the world? (of course with the longer shipping times if it were lets say China) <br /><br />Really eager to get stared on this! Looking forward to your reply. <br /><br />Thanks buddy, <br /><br />Imran K<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540319245573002181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-77304689620285984392016-04-06T20:52:07.496-07:002016-04-06T20:52:07.496-07:00Hey Dean, congrats on taking step one, getting rid...Hey Dean, congrats on taking step one, getting rid of the unnecessary expenses and moving to Thailand.

I'm from Washington DC and I used to be into fast German cars, clubbing, expensive watches, etc (basically you in July 2007). I have since sold most of my possessions, quit my 9-5 in the US, and have been living in Bangkok for the past 2 years.<br /><br />The only problem is.... I find myself working a 9-5 again here in Bangkok. Living in Thailand is great, but I guess I'm playing it safe with a 9-5 job so I have some sort of income.<br /><br />The easy part was moving to Thailand and getting a job (I hold both a US and a Thai passport). But still need to figure out how to live as my own boss.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141935622892747947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-80767609159274095172016-03-09T18:09:25.925-08:002016-03-09T18:09:25.925-08:00Hey Jonathan, glad you enjoyed the blog post!

I got down to $200 while I was already building my dropshipping store so I had enough to buy it before my money started getting really low. <br /><br />But if you're on a super tight budget, I would started with David Vu's eBay course first, make your first $1,500 and then buy Anton's course for a more susbtainable, scalable business: earnestaffiliate.com/ebay<br /><br />Best of luck!

Interesting read. I ...Hey Johnny, I'm Jonathan. Interesting read. I myself am on the cusp of being a digital nomad, but I think you take it one step further, and even though business/commerce is not my area (creative) it sounds like an interesting way to diversify income. I looked into the course, but it's very expensive, you had $200, did you have to borrow money to fund the course?<br /><br />Also, how long did it take till you could hire someome to take all the calls, and where are they based? I would be nervous if they suddenly quit or did a bad job etc, you must have a lot of trust in them!<br /><br />I actually came across your blog when researching places I could work in Vienna>Prague>Budapest (i currently live in Berlin).

I write a lot about the journey as a divemaster in my first book, 12 Weeks in Thailand: The Good Life on the Cheap so definitely read that.<br /><br />What everyone does is just come on a tourist visa and do your divemaster course then figure out the rest later. Don't read too much into it online as there are tons of contradicting info out there.

Really inspiring story, even though you've been trough some rough times it has turned out pretty well for you!<br />My plan is to stick on scuba diving, just for the simple reason that I love it. Can you give any further tips or advice for instructor / dm life in SE-Asia? What is your stand on work permits? I'm getting pretty mixed feelings about it on the web! (As you might know) The visas shouldn't be a huge problem, only takes some time off your hands but it's the pain you have to endure.<br />Keep up the spirit!<br />-JonathanJonathanhttps://www.facebook.com/osterlund.jonathannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-86418629010468004472016-01-21T18:41:22.156-08:002016-01-21T18:41:22.156-08:00Hey happy to share.
