Broke to Bag: The College Student's Guide to Dropshipping

Most side hustle advice was not written for you. It assumes you have free time, startup capital, and no midterms. Broke to Bag was.

This book was built from the ground up for broke college students — the ones who can't get a campus job, can't afford to waste money on trial and error, and need something that fits between classes and actually pays off.

What's inside is the real thing: a fusion of personal experience from three live dropshipping operations — including the wins, the early losses, and every mistake that cost real money — combined with the complete step-by-step system covering every phase of the business from start to scale.

You'll learn how to read Google Trends to get into a niche before the competition shows up. How to use AutoDS, the Facebook Ads Library, and TikTok to find products that are already making money for other stores. How to build a clean, trustworthy Shopify store without spending more than $55. How to calculate your exact profit margin before listing a single product — so you never lose money on every order the way most beginners do. How to market for free using the authenticity that every college student already has. And when you're ready, how to run paid ads, read your metrics, retarget lost buyers, build lookalike audiences, and scale your ad spend into consistent, growing revenue.

There's also a full chapter on balancing the business with your actual degree, a legal and money basics guide for when the income gets real, a breakdown of every common mistake and scam targeting beginners, and a week-by-week 30-day action plan so you know exactly what to do from Day 1.

No hype. No highlight reel. Just the playbook.

Started with $50. Three successful stores. $6–7K/month. Now it's your turn.
