Are dropshipping courses worth the money in 2024?

Let me start off by saying that most paid dropshipping courses out there are expensive, like $500+.

Meta Blueprint (Previously Facebook Blueprint)

Yes, this is not a free dropshipping course, but for most dropshipping store owners, Facebook is one of their most important advertisement platforms.

That’s why I think it’s great to learn it from the best. You can learn a lot about Facebook & Instagram for free here.

You can become a Facebook Ad expert with these free courses from Facebook!

I mean, who knows Facebook better than Facebook themselves, right? You can even take an exam to become a Facebook certified professional.

This might be hard if you're just beginning, but it's still awesome that it's possible, and maybe you can set passing a Facebook exam as a goal for your future!

It's always great to have goals in your life.

7 awesome free YouTube dropshipping courses

Some great information about dropshipping is on YouTube for free.

Just be careful with most of those so-called "gurus." Like I said before, their only goal is to sell you something (like a course).

I suggest watching these videos below, but if you don't like what you see or you already know it, just skip a bit.

Don't forget to take everything from these "gurus" with a grain of salt, and only apply what you like.

Don't think like, "Oh, but he made millions with that super-secret tactic - I need to do exactly that, and I will be rich tomorrow!"

No, you will not.

It takes time and hard work before you succeed; I'm sorry if that crushed your dreams, but you need to treat your dropshipping store like a real business in order to succeed!

Also, most of these "gurus" use Shopify - we cover a lot about Shopify as well - but you can use any ecommerce platform that you like. (You can find Shopify alternatives here)
