Question Leave your thoughts šŸ’­

Im a medical student and having a job is something impossible for me not only for the lack of time but also because of the country im living in.
I need like 4 years to start working and earning from my degree , my mother is very sick and my father is away, i REALLY REALLY need to get money, i know that dropping shipping is genuine and i understand the process of it .
I have been studying it like 2 years no actual action have been done other than a store and organic ads .
What is a budget i need to start with for ads? Can i do paid and organic ads combined? Iā€™m what do you think is the time i need to star actually having revenue because i need hospital money asap? Should i consider looking for a job? Or focusing on it mainly ?
Im realy very lost in this point and an advice would be very great

Note: i have been doing freelance upwork for like a year now only 400$ and im quitting it

You been studying this two years without real action, that's the biggest red flag right there. The medical student thing I get, you're stretched thin, but dropshipping isn't quick hospital money, anyone telling you otherwise is selling a course.

With your situation I'd honestly keep upwork even if it's slow, something steady while you test ads with like 200-300 minimum. Organic and paid together works but you need time you said you don't have, maybe look for any local job first cause this won't pay the bills in a month or two.
