Starting a dropshipping store like NextGen involves minimal investment and allows you to sell products without holding inventory. I chose a niche-smart home gadgets-based on market demand and found reliable suppliers on platforms like AliExpress and Oberlo. I set up my store on Shopify, customized the design, added products, and established payment gateways and legal pages. For branding and marketing, I created a strong visual identity, engaged on social media, used content and email marketing, and launched ads and influencer promotions to attract customers. After launching, I analyzed traffic, conversions, and customer feedback to optimize the store. By refining strategies and scaling up, I built a profitable dropshipping business focused on smart home gadgets.
