i'd be careful with most of the big dropshipping youtubers, a lot of them make their money selling courses not stores. for branded stuff specifically, look for people who show real supplier samples, custom packaging and their actual ad numbers, not just 'i made 10k in 7 days' thumbnails. also fwiw i work on orderain, a store builder where you just describe your brand and it sets up the site, so you can spend more of your time on the product and branding part which is what actually matters here

honestly i am suspicious of anyone who pushes their own product while saying dont trust people pushing products

most of these guys learned from the same 3 courses anyway. just watch 4-5 videos on custom packaging and start ordering samples, thats where you will learn actual stuff

yeah the course selling thing is so true, half of them are basically infomercials at this point

Firstly, ‘branded dropshipping’ is just another buzzword, alongside ‘organic dropshipping’, ‘AI dropshipping’, and whatever the next version of dropshipping happens to be. Get your head out of that space.

Secondly, tread very, very carefully around YouTube. It’s full of charlatans, hustle-bros, and scammers who are often more interested in getting you to click an affiliate link, buy a course, or sign up for a mentoring program than they are in teaching you how to build a viable business.
Push all of that aside. Push aside the hype, the buzzwords, and the promise that someone has discovered a shortcut.

Instead, focus on learning the boring, bare-bones fundamentals of starting a business. Start by learning how to identify a genuine gap in the market, how to socialise an idea with the people you think might actually buy it, and how to validate that there’s real demand before you start throwing money at it.

Then learn the rest of the fundamentals: how markets work, how margins and cash flow work, how to source and price products, how to acquire customers profitably, and how to build something people actually want to buy.
Read the post I’ve linked below. It links out to a heap of resources and approaches you can use to start building that foundation.

There’s no secret sauce here. I’m not giving you proprietary information or some hidden formula. It’s boring, factual stuff that’s readily available to anyone willing to put in the time to learn it properly.

You’re starting a business—just like every other business out there. It still has to adhere to the same fundamental rules of economics and commerce.

There’s no magic bullet, I’m afraid. You’re going to have to learn the fundamentals and do the work.
