There isn’t just one way to become successful at drop shipping.

Throughout the last year, I’ve been fortunate enough to see behind the scenes of countless successful drop shipping businesses from former students, friends and strangers who reached out to me.

Most “gurus” want to make you believe that there’s just one method to build a successful drop shipping store; their method.

This is a common misconception.

In fact, I’ve been guilty of this fallacy myself.

Because I became successful using a particular drop shipping method, I thought I had stumbled upon the “holy grail”, and I was convinced my method was the best and the only way to become successful at drop shipping. And every “guru” right now is falling victim of this.

Today I know this is wrong.

In fact, there are at least 12 drop shipping methods that work like crazy right now. In this article I will introduce you to these different methods and show you what people have been able to achieve with them.

The 12 Drop Shipping Methods

Since I’ll be covering all twelve methods in this article, I won’t be able to go super in-depth with each method. However, I’ve covered some of these drop shipping methods in more detail in other articles (for example: The Piggybacking Method and the Horizontal Scaling Method).

The purpose of this article is to give you an overview of the different drop shipping methods that exist, along with a short introduction and some results people have been getting with it.

Method #1: Page Post Engagement Method

This is the Facebook ad method I became successful with. Back in 2016, when I started drop shipping, most people were using this method.

Two days after launching my first campaign I made my first sale.

And shortly after that I was making multiple hundred dollars per day, of which around 25-50% was profit. I used this method to make around $6,000 per month on the side with a fully automated drop shipping business. I later on built a store for my girlfriend at the time, and within four days her store was making between $100-$300 per day using the same method.

I still know plenty of people who use the Page Post Engagement method today to build profitable drop shipping stores.

It’s a classic method that’s gotten a bit out of fashion. But it still works well for many people.

Method #2: Horizontal Scaling Method

Horizontal scaling is an often overlooked way of growing and scaling up a successful drop shipping business. I’ve used this method in my first two drop shipping businesses and I know many people who use this method, or a variation of it, to grow their drop shipping businesses.

Florian, one of the members in my mastermind, was able to grow his drop shipping store from zero to $60,000 per month using horizontal scaling.

I’ve written a separate article with a case study of his store.

With this method you go wide instead of deep. Rather than running Facebook ads and then increasing the daily spend, you test until you find a profitable campaign and then duplicate it as often as you can.

For example, Florian duplicated his campaign in multiple countries.

There are many different variations of the Horizontal Scaling Method and it still works great right now.

Method #3: The Piggybacking Method

The Piggybacking Method is great for beginners but I know many advanced drop shippers who still use it. For example, Raghav, a 14-year old kid used the Piggybacking Method to grow his drop shipping store from zero to over $68,000 per month.

He makes more each month than his teachers make in a year.

The way he does it is by spying on the ads and products of other successful drop shippers and then “piggybacking” exactly what they’re doing.

I’ve written a separate article about the Piggybacking Method.

I know countless people who use this method or a variation of it to make six-figures or seven-figures a year. The bottom line is: You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. You can backward-engineer what’s already selling and then make a fortune online by selling the same products.

Method #4: Arturo’s Method

Arturo is a 20-year old drop shipper from Mexico and a member of my mastermind. I like to think of him as the king of influencer marketing.

He has developed a unique way of talking influencers into giving him free shoutouts. He used this method to make $25,000 in two days without spending a single dollar on marketing or advertising.

His approach has almost reached “cult” status in the scene and is known as “Arturo’s Method” in my mastermind.

Other students of mine have used his method to build wildly successful drop shipping stores without any upfront costs. One of them is Armin, who signed up for my Advanced Drop Shipping Class 2.0 last year with the last money he had (after paying for the program he only had $9 left in his bank account…). He then used Arturo’s method to get free shoutouts and went on to grow his store to $6,000 per month within just a few weeks.

Method #5: Armin’s Method

After using “Arturo’s Method” to bootstrap his drop shipping business with only $9 in his pocket, Armin developed his own influencer marketing method and used it to make more money month after month.

We now call his approach “Armin’s Method” in my mastermind.

He uses a unique process to turn influencers into affiliates who promote his products for free. Using his method, he was able to build a large team of influencers and affiliates who send him traffic and sales for free every day.

He has also developed his own method of structuring sponsored posts in a way that results in more sales than anything I have seen so far.

Armin’s method merges influencer marketing and affiliate marketing in a way that’s almost free and allows anyone to bootstrap a successful drop shipping business from scratch, just like he did when starting out.

Method #6: The Generic Optimization Method

Benjamin uses an uncommon Facebook advertising method that makes him $6,000-$10,000 every month with free plus shipping. Instead of targeting specific interests and pages, he uses something that I call the “Generic Optimization Method”. I know many others who are using the same method to run Facebook ads and swear by it, but not many people talk about it.

This proves two things: First of all, there isn’t just one way to run profitable Facebook ads. There are many different methods that work. Secondly, Benjamin failed for years at building an online business before he started making $6,000-$10,000 per month with drop shipping.

Although there are many proven methods to build a successful drop shipping store, you just need one of them to work for you.

Or another way to put it:

You’re just one method away from a six-figure drop shipping store.

Method #7: Stock Elimination Method

The “Stock Elimination Method” is an influencer marketing method that was developed by Jamie, one of my mastermind members. The method is based on “Arturo’s Method” but Jamie added his unique spin to it.

His story is particularly motivating.

Jamie signed up for one of my programs last year and grew his drop shipping business from zero to $1,000 and sometimes even $2,000 per day.

However, after seeing this much success in a short period of time, he got greedy and stopped doing what made him successful in the first place. As a result of this, he lost the entire fortune he made with drop shipping.

(Hint: He also invested in cars, houses and other “liabilities”)

After Jamie’s downfall, he bounced back and rebuilt his drop shipping store from zero using the “Stock Elimination Method”. Since he lost all his money from his first store, he had to start from scratch with empty pockets.

He didn’t have any money to spend on marketing or advertising (Similar to Armin who started with $9), so he had to be smart and creative.

With the help of the “Stock Elimination Method” he is now making hundreds of dollars per day and is rebuilding his drop shipping store. Jamie is proof that you can build a successful drop shipping business even after experiencing major setbacks, adversity and having no money available.

Method #8: Instagram Influencer Marketing Method

This is a classic.

You reach out to influencers on Instagram and pay them a small sum of money for a shoutout. They will then post your ad on their page that if done correctly will result in a surge of traffic and sales on your store.

Dale is one of the best I know at Instagram influencer marketing.

He’s only 17-years old but was able to make $29,745 in twenty days with Instagram influencer marketing. His influencer marketing promotions are so successful that he told me he had to “turn off” his marketing.

He was getting more orders than he could fulfill.

I definitively call this a quality problem.

Method #9: The Split-Testing Method

This is an extremely effective Facebook advertising method. It allows you to run Facebook ads with minimum costs, without wasting any money, until you hit a massive goldmine that you can then continue scaling up.

Instead of adding a whole bunch of interests and pages to your ad set, you carefully split-test each interest to determine which one’s are profitable.

There’s a specific, proven way to do this that works extremely well.

The best I know at this method are Esteban and his brother Sebastian. These siblings from Costa Rica have made millions of dollars with drop shipping using the “Split-Testing Method”. Esteban generated $299,974 in 12 months using this method. And his younger brother Sebastian made millions of dollars and has become a legend in the drop shipping scene.

Method #10: The Affiliate Marketing Method

Most people don’t think of drop shipping when they hear the word affiliate marketing. However, affiliate marketing, if done correctly, is a proven and incredibly effective way to grow six-figure drop shipping business.

Marco, one of my mastermind members, was able to grow his drop shipping store to $200,000 in 10 months using nothing but affiliate marketing.

He uses a unique method to reach out to potential affiliates and then makes them an offer they can’t refuse. All it took him to make $200,000 was 10 affiliates, and most of his traffic and sales came from just one affiliate.

The “Affiliate Marketing Method” is a great way to bootstrap your drop shipping business because you have no upfront marketing costs.

You only pay a commission if someone refers a sale.

If you think about it, it’s 100% risk-free.

Method #11: The Retargeting Method

This is another Facebook advertising method that works great right now. You run ads and send people to your store. And then you retarget them using Dynamic Product Ads, to make massive amounts of money.

One of the most successful people I know at this is Sam, a former coaching client of mine who built a $10,000 per month drop shipping business.

He used to make $4,500 as a watchmaker.

Now he makes more than double that with DPA retargeting.

Method #12: Twitter Influencer Marketing Method

Most people only do influencer marketing on Instagram and completely neglect other platforms like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Twitter influencer marketing is extremely simple and can make you a fortune.

Taveet, a 17-year old follower of mine, is consistently making $7,000 per month with drop shipping using nothing but Twitter influencers.

And the best part? He has no competition.

He spends around $400-$500 per week on Twitter influencer marketing and generates around $2,400 or more in return every single week.

There you go.

I’ve seen behind the scenes of countless six-figure and seven-figure drop shipping stores. All of them use one of these methods, or a variation of them, to grow their store. These methods work right now, and real people with real drop shipping stores are using them to make fortunes online.

This is all you’ll ever need to become successful.

If you’d like to get an in-depth walkthrough of each individual method, and see behind the scenes of real-life drop shipping stores that are using these methods to make five-figures, six-figures and even seven-figures per year, I’d like to invite you to become a student of Drop Shipping Mastery.

Drop Shipping Mastery is a brand-new program that’s coming out in a few days that will teach you all these 12 methods in detail, along with case studies and walkthroughs.

Plus you’ll be able to join my high-level mastermind group that consists of everyone I mentioned in this article.

Being surrounded by successful drop shippers is the fastest way to succeed. And learning these 12 methods directly from them, with lots of real-world examples and case studies, makes all the difference.

So here’s how that works.

Drop Shipping Mastery is opening its doors on Sunday.

First of all you have to make sure you’re on the early bird waiting list here.

There are currently 2,066 people on the early bird waiting list.

It’s crazy to think that more than two thousand people are lined up and waiting for me to open the doors to Drop Shipping Mastery this coming Sunday.

I already know there’s going to be a rush to the registration page. Everyone is going to try to sign up at the same time in order to get a spot, so I’m a bit scared it’s going to temporarily crash my servers when that happens.

In the past some of my programs have sold out in as little as 5 hours but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’ll only takes a few minutes this time.

There are 200 spots available.

Spots are granted on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you want to make sure you get a spot in the program you need to “plan” for it because otherwise I believe you won’t be able to get in on Sunday.

Here’s what you HAVE to do on Sunday

• I’ll send out a secret registration link to everyone on the early bird waiting list one day before the public on Sunday, 11th of February at 10am PST
• Mark the day and time in your calendar and set up a reminder
• Refresh your inbox until you get the registration email
• Open the email and secure your spot immediately

I believe this is the only way you’ll be able to get a spot in the program.

There are just too many people lined up right now.

Those who show up early and act fast will be rewarded (like it’s often the case in life). But in this case the reward will be really big because I’m also going to give a special package to everyone who signs up on Sunday at 10am PST.

When you sign up on Sunday you also get FREE access to:

• Advanced Drop Shipping Class 2.0 (Value: $970)
• Influencer Marketing Secrets (Value: $297)

TOTAL VALUE: $1,264

Yes, that’s right.

If you act fast enough to make it into Drop Shipping Mastery on Sunday, 11th of February, I’ll give you these two programs worth $1,264 as a FREE bonus.

The Advanced Drop Shipping Class 2.0 is my flagship program that launched last year. It has created more success than any other program I’ve launched in the past and you’re getting it absolutely free when you sign up on Sunday.

Influencer Marketing Secrets is a course I was planning to bring out this year.

It would have costed $297 one-time.

Instead of launching the course, I ditched my plans to create something much more epic and decided to bring out Drop Shipping Mastery this year. However, I’ve already recorded the entire Influencer Marketing Secrets training.

So I thought why not give it to you for FREE 🙂

That being said, I know even more people will rush to the registration page on Sunday morning to try and secure their spot in Drop Shipping Mastery.

So it’s really crucial that you follow the instructions I outlined. Login to your email inbox on Sunday, 11th of February at 10am PST. Refresh your inbox until you get an email from me (make sure you also check your spam folder).

As soon as you get the email, open it, click on the secret early bird registration link and secure your spot immediately before the program sells out.

And devinitively set up a reminder in your calendar right now.

I can’t wait to start working with all new students.
