Aisha, warm welcome. I believe you are not alone in feeling this.
Just sharing a pattern from what I have seen working with many different sellers. People rarely fail because they picked the wrong niche or product. It is very common for the first few ideas not to work.
Interestingly I have seen situations where multiple dropshippers tested the exact same product around the same time, and what's more interesting is that some succeeded, others didn’t. I believe

Interestingly I have seen situations where multiple dropshippers tested the exact same product around the same time, and what's more interesting is that some succeeded, others didn’t. I believe what usually made the difference wasn’t the product itself, but things like the offer, creatives, and how quickly they adjusted after early data. The more angles that are tested, the better the outcome.
I am also curious to hear from others here as well: – How did you pick your first niche? – Did you stick with it or pivot later? – What helped you get unstuck and finally move forward?
Following this thread, a lot of what’s been said actually hits close to home.
I just started a few months ago, and honestly the hardest part for me hasn’t been “finding the perfect niche” — it’s deciding to commit to testing one thing long enough instead of constantly second-guessing myself.
I picked my current niche mainly because I understood the customer problem and felt I could make better ads for it, not because I thought it was unsaturated. I’m still testing

I picked my current niche mainly because I understood the customer problem and felt I could make better ads for it, not because I thought it was unsaturated. I’m still testing and definitely not profitable yet.
Would really love to hear from people who’ve already been through this stage — how long did you test before things started to make sense, and what made the biggest difference for you?
