Our story

Do Dropshipping started in 2018 after Richard noticed how many expensive courses were promising beginners that dropshipping was an easy way to make money online.

The goal was simple: make useful information easier to access for free and be honest about the work involved.

After two years as a solo project, Do Dropshipping grew into a team of 15 people working on research, writing, editing, and improving the site.

Today, we help readers understand whether dropshipping is right for them. For those who decide to move forward, we provide practical guidance for building and improving a store.

Our journey since 2018

  1. More Tools and Practical Help

    Now

    We are expanding Do Dropshipping with free tools and practical comparison resources. That includes more checkers and calculators.

    These resources help readers apply what they learn. They can check a supplier or estimate costs before comparing their options.

    Current focus
    Supplier research and shipping estimates are two priorities. We are also building resources for store checks and pricing decisions. Beginner planning remains part of the roadmap.
    Why it matters
    Readers can apply the information to their own situation instead of relying only on general advice.

  2. Clearer Editorial Standards

    Standards

    We made our editorial process easier to understand through clearer update notes and stronger supplier review checks.

    We also expanded our Editorial Policy. These changes matter most when pricing, availability, or platform features can affect a reader's decision.

  3. Cleaner and More Practical Guides

    Usability

    We improved important guides with clearer comparisons and better tables. We also added more practical summaries.

    The goal was to help readers find useful information without digging through unnecessary detail.

  4. A Broader Ecommerce Resource

    Growth

    Do Dropshipping expanded beyond beginner tutorials.

    We added more resources about suppliers and platforms. We also published more product ideas and real store examples.

    The site began covering more of the decisions people face before launching an ecommerce store.

  5. Reaching More Than One Million Annual Readers

    1M+

    Do Dropshipping reached more than one million annual readers.

    This milestone showed that free practical education could reach a global audience without relying on a paid course.

  6. From a Solo Project to a Team Effort

    Team

    Do Dropshipping began growing from a solo project into a team effort.

    More research and editing went into each guide. We also expanded the comparison work behind major resources.

    The goal stayed the same: help readers understand dropshipping before they spend money.

  7. Do Dropshipping Is Founded

    Start

    Richard started Do Dropshipping after seeing too many expensive courses that presented dropshipping as an easy path to quick money.

    The original idea was simple: create a free and practical resource that explains how dropshipping actually works, including the difficult parts.

    Original mission
    Make practical dropshipping education available for free.
    Still true today
    We do not sell a paid dropshipping course.

Our mission

Do Dropshipping helps readers understand how dropshipping works, what it costs, what can go wrong, and what to do next.

We do not present dropshipping as passive income or a shortcut to easy money. It is a real ecommerce model that requires product research, supplier checks, and customer service. Testing and patience matter too.

Our goal is to make practical information easier to access for free, so you can make a better decision before paying for a course, platform, supplier, or tool.

What we don't do

  • We do not sell a paid dropshipping course.
  • We do not promise overnight success.
  • We do not present dropshipping as passive income.
  • We do not downplay taxes, product liability, supplier quality, or customer service.
  • We do not hide the work involved in building an ecommerce store.

Standards in 30 seconds

Every Do Dropshipping guide is created to help readers make a more informed ecommerce decision.

We research suppliers, platforms, and tools carefully. We apply the same standards when covering business models and broader ecommerce topics.

Important guides are updated when pricing, policies, or availability changes. We also review them when platform features change.

When a topic involves legal, tax, or financial risk, we explain the practical considerations. We do the same for broader business risks.

We encourage readers to seek professional advice when needed.

You can read the full process in our Editorial Policy.

How we review suppliers, tools, and platforms

When we review a supplier, platform, or tool, we focus on the factors that affect a real store.

The exact checks vary by topic. They may include pricing and product range. We also look at shipping, integrations, and refund policies. Support and ease of use matter too.

Supplier comparisons use a consistent ranking system. It considers product prices, product quality, and catalog size.

The system also looks at delivery times and available features. Monthly costs and public user reviews may also affect the score.

Some reviews include hands-on testing. Others are research-based.

Research-based reviews use official documentation and current pricing pages. We may also examine platform policies, user-facing features, and public feedback.

We do not declare one option the best for everyone. Our goal is to help readers understand which supplier, tool, or platform fits their situation.

See the full supplier ranking system in our Editorial Policy.

Funding and editorial independence

Do Dropshipping may earn revenue from display ads and affiliate links. It may also work with sponsors or commercial partners.

This funding helps us keep our guides, tools, and resources free for readers.

Commercial relationships do not determine what we publish or which companies we include.

They also do not change how we explain the strengths and weaknesses of a supplier, platform, or tool. Our conclusions are based on the research and practical factors covered in each guide.
