From Janitor to Earning $60K/Month with Dropshipping: My Journey 🧹💼📦

Yep, I was mopping floors and cleaning toilets just a few years ago. Today, I'm running a profitable dropshipping business that brings in over $60,000/month—without touching inventory, renting a warehouse, or spending years in school.

This is my no-BS journey, with actionable steps so you can start your own.

🧹 My Starting Point: Minimum-Wage Janitor
Wage: $10/hour

Hours: Nights & weekends

Dream: Escape the 9–5, build something real

I had ZERO business experience. Just hunger to change my situation.

🔥 Step 1: Learned the Game (Without Paying for Courses)
Instead of dropping $997 on guru courses, I:

Binged YouTube channels (e.g., Jordan Welch, Biaheza, Tan Choudhury)

Joined free Discord groups

Studied winning product breakdowns

🧠 Key lesson: Focus on product-market fit and a simple store. Don't overcomplicate.

📦 Step 2: Found My First Winning Product
After testing 7 flops, I struck gold with a:

"Posture Corrector for Remote Workers" 🪑💻

✅ Solved a real problem
✅ Cheap to source on AliExpress
✅ TikTok-viral potential

Started with a basic Shopify store, used DSers for fulfillment.

🎥 Step 3: Leveraged Organic TikTok for Free Traffic
Posted 3–5 videos a day using:

UGC-style content (no face needed)

Before/after clips

Trending sounds + short hooks

By week 2, one vid hit 1.1M views → 💥 $3,800 in a day

💳 Step 4: Managed Cash Flow Like a Pro
I used VCCs from https://exocards.com to:

Separate ad spend from personal money

Create burner cards for trials & tools

Stay organized across suppliers + apps

💼 Step 5: Scaled Like Crazy (After Proof of Concept)
Once I had a winning offer:

I hired a virtual assistant for order fulfillment

Used 1 product store model with high-converting funnel

Reinvested 80% back into UGC, TikTok Ads & influencers

Added Email + SMS automation with Klaviyo + SMSBump

⚡ Final Advice for You:
Start dirty — Done is better than perfect

Focus on marketing more than the store

Document your journey — Your story sells

Treat it like a biz — Not a side hustle

Don't be afraid to fail 5–10 times before you hit
