You've already listed the most common. I would add adwords to the list.

Facebook ads are a very good start. Maybe we should look at your site and ads in detail.

If you'd like to do that, please post a link to your store, screenshots of your FB ads and details on ad settings/targeting/etc.

I'll do my best to provide advice - and of course there are lots of FB experts on this forum that can potentially help guide you as well.

FB is definitely the king when it comes to drop-shipping. But yeah, the prices are high and it's quite easy to get banned over there. So prepare for a bumpy ride

I see you mentioned pinterest, we have a great guy here on stm : @wakeboarder who is into pinterest a lot. I'm sure he could share some tips with you, or just look up some of his threads here on the forum, they are always full of great info.

I agree with Matuloo. FB is king when it comes to drop-shipping.

Thanks @matuloo for mentioning me. Here are pros and cons about Pinterest advertising and drop-shipping.

Pros
- Competition is low which means you can get really low CPMs (US / Website Conversion / up to $5)
- If you have the right product it can convert like crazy (fashion / pets / home & decor / DIY)
- Now many drop-shippers are using PI at the moment, that said you can run the product longer before everyone else start running the same product

Cons
- Lack of quality content (blueprints, how-to, guides, etc.)
- No active communities where you can discuss issues with other PI drop-shippers
- IMO you need higher budget to start testing that Facebook

It depends how deep are you willing go.

As you probably know, both can work very well Facebook and Pinterest.

For Facebook you can find tons of very valuable content and it's easier to start, you just need to figure it out the system how to test products to find the winner.

With Pinterest you will need to figure it out the right products + everything you need for media buying. If you are a newbie, it's much easier to follow some guide or a blueprint.

When you decide for a traffic source, go all it and stick to it until you don't crack it.

Good luck and keep up posted!

Cheers,

Indeed, just as we talked about at AWE, it would be great if we could get more ecomm people active here on STM!
