How to Choose Your First Product Without Panicking


Listen Later

Welcome back to Drop That Ship, the podcast that gets you out of overthinking mode and into business-building gear. In this episode, we tackle how to pick your very first dropshipping item without turning into a puddle of existential dread. 

Whether you're launching your first store or reviving a side hustle from 2020, this is the episode that helps you move from “what if” to “what’s next.” You'll get a no-fluff framework for product selection, the criteria that actually matter, and how to avoid warehouse nightmares before they happen. Bonus: we talk AI, TikTok, and the secret to finding long-term winners without chasing trends. You don’t need a crystal ball, you need a system. And Doba delivers.
