Is dropshipping for you?
As mentioned before, there are both pros and cons of dropshipping, meaning it 
isn’t for everyone. This is especially the case for people who are looking for a get-
rich-quick scheme. Dropshipping won’t do that for you, and if you’re approaching it 
that way, it’s probably not the best choice for you.
That said, nearly anyone can build a dropshipping business.
Still, you might have one of these fears:
dz “I don’t know if I have enough time to start a business.”
dz “I don’t want to risk getting fired from my day job.”
dz “I don’t want to work so hard on dropshipping that I underperform
at my 9-to-5.”
The good news is that you can put as much or as little into 
dropshipping as you want to. Here are two common approaches.

Dropshipping as a side hustle
What is dropshipping’s main appeal? Because it’s flexible and it doesn’t demand 
much, it’s the ideal side job. Many entrepreneurs choose to do dropshipping 
on 
the side
 while they have a main job that provides steady income. You don’t have to 
sacrifice your day job to pursue your dreams of becoming an entrepreneur.
The number one worry here is that your employer will prevent you from having 
a side hustle, but believe it or not, many companies are fine with it. You’ll want 
to make sure you’re in the clear – ask about your company’s policy on side 
businesses and review any non-compete agreements you’ve signed. You also 
definitely want to ensure there’s no conflict of interest. But if everything checks out, 
then you’re good to go.
