DROPSHIPPING

How Vishal Singh Did 7 Crore in 7 Months with Ecommerce

By Nishkarsh Sharma

He joined the program in December. By the next seven months, he had done seven crore in revenue. No agency. No big team. Just him, the process, and a willingness to learn everything from scratch.

His name is Vishal Singh. And this is his story inside Ecom Edge.

Where it started

Before Vishal joined the program, he was already watching my YouTube videos. He saw that I was sharing real knowledge about the industry without any charge. And he thought, if this person is giving away this much for free, imagine how much value the actual program would have.

That thought is what pushed him to take the step. He joined in December.

The first few months were pure learning. December, January, February. He was spending only 10,000 to 15,000 rupees on Meta ads. Not to make money. Just to understand how the platform works. How the process works. What the data means.

That patience is rare. Most people want results on day one. Vishal wanted understanding first. And that made all the difference.

The model

Vishal sells toys. He went deep into the niche. Researched the market. Visited multiple places to understand demand. Studied what was selling on Amazon, what ads were running on Facebook Ad Library, what was going viral on TikTok in the toy space.

He used every method we teach inside the program for product research. And then he tested.

Here is the thing about product testing that most people do not understand. Your feelings do not decide if a product will work. The data decides. You need to test products with real ad spend and then read the numbers. The program teaches you exactly which metrics to look at and what they mean.

Vishal learned this. He learned to read hook rates, thumb stop ratios, CTR, CPM, ROAS. He learned that if your hook rate is above 20 percent, it means your creative is working. If it is not, you fix the creative. If the creative is fine but conversions are low, you check the landing page speed, the price, the hero images, the audience targeting.

It is a process of elimination. And once you understand this process, you stop panicking when something does not work. You just diagnose and fix.

The numbers

February was his first real month. He did about 10 lakh.

March, he did 30 lakh.

April, 78 lakh.

May, 82 lakh.

By September, he crossed 1 crore in a single month for the first time.

And by October, he was on track to do 2 crore in a single month.

Total revenue in seven months: seven crore. His goal now is to build a 100 crore company.

The mistake that almost cost him everything

Here is something Vishal shared that I think every ecommerce entrepreneur needs to hear.

At one point, he had a product that was selling like crazy. Highest volume of orders in his store. But the delivery percentage on that product was only 33 percent. His other products were at 70 to 80 percent delivery. But because this one product had so many orders, it dragged his overall delivery down to 64 percent.

The result? He broke even that entire month. No profit. No loss. Just flat.

That is when he realized something critical. Revenue means nothing if your delivery percentage is destroying your margins. You can have the best ads, the best product, the best creative. But if two out of three orders are not getting delivered, you are burning money.

This is exactly what we teach inside the program. Before you scale a product, you check everything. Not just ROAS and CTR. You check delivery percentage. You check if the product is actually reaching customers. You check if you are EBITDA profitable, not just top line profitable.

Vishal spotted the problem, fixed it, and never made that mistake again. That is the difference between someone who builds a real business and someone who just chases revenue numbers.

How he ran ads

The process is straightforward. Once you have shortlisted a product and created at least three creatives, you set up a sales campaign on Meta.

You create a minimum of 10 ad sets. Each ad set targets a different audience. Different demographics, different interests, different behaviors. You put your three creatives in each ad set and allocate 200 rupees per ad set per day.

That is 2,000 rupees a day. Run it for two days. That is your product test for 4,000 rupees total.

Out of 10 ad sets, six or seven will probably not work. The audience was not right. But two or three will show promising results. Those are your winning audiences. That is where you scale.

Scaling happens two ways. Horizontal scaling means you gradually increase budget by 20 percent at a time. Vertical scaling means you duplicate what is working and double the budget on new campaigns. When it stops working, you either turn off the ad or cut the budget in half.

Vishal shared an interesting observation. Sometimes when you cut the budget by 50 percent, Meta actually starts performing better again. Because the algorithm thinks you are losing interest, so it tries harder to deliver results to keep you spending. Then you start scaling again from that reset point.

The whole game is rinse and repeat. Find what works, scale it, optimize it, and keep going.

The one thing that changed everything

When I asked Vishal what the biggest factor was in his success, he did not talk about a secret product or a magic ad strategy. He talked about the community.

He said that when you are building something new, you will get stuck. That is guaranteed. The question is how fast you can get unstuck. And having a community of people who are on the same path, who respond to your questions instantly, who share their wins and their learnings openly, that is what makes the difference between a solution being six months away and one minute away.

He gave a great example. When I was starting out in 2020, dropshipping was not common in India. When I hit problems, I had no one to ask. My friends did not even know what I was doing. I had to figure everything out alone. One time, during the US elections, there was a massive wave of ad account bans. I lost 15 to 20 ad accounts overnight. I sat at home for a month, almost depressed, thinking my business was over.

Eventually I found someone who told me about agency ad accounts and proxies. But it took me a month of being stuck. Inside our community, if someone posts that problem, 50 people show up with solutions within minutes. That is the power of being in the right room.

You do not need a team to start

One of the biggest myths people have is that you need a creative team, a media buyer, a website developer, and a bunch of other people before you can start.

You do not.

Vishal started completely alone. He built his own Shopify store. He edited his own videos. He ran his own ads. He did his own product research. Everything for the first few months was just him.

The program teaches you all of this. Website building, video editing, media buying, product research, financial tracking. Even someone who does not know the E of ecommerce can learn it and start building within hours.

Vishal now has 25 to 30 people working for him. But he did not start there. He started alone, learned every part of the business himself, and then hired people because he understood what good work looks like.

That is the key. When you know the business yourself, no agency can fool you. No employee can give you substandard work without you noticing. You become the smartest person in the room about your own business. And that is the most powerful position to be in.

Stop being problem driven. Be solution driven.

One thing I keep telling people inside the community is this: the problem does a very obvious job of telling you something is wrong. Everyone knows that. What matters is what you do next.

Most people come into the group and say, this is not working. My ads are not performing. I am not getting sales.

Okay. We know. Now be solution driven. Break it down. Is your ad cost high? Check if it is an ad problem or a website problem. Is your CTR good but conversions are low? Then the issue is on your landing page. Is the landing page fine but people are not buying? Maybe your price is too high. Maybe your hero images are not good enough.

There are so many things you can diagnose using data. The program teaches you how to read every metric. Once you learn that, you stop feeling helpless and start feeling in control.

The mindset that separates winners from quitters

Vishal said something that stuck with me. He said he marks every day as either a W or an L. A win or a loss. And if one day is an L, it does not matter. Because he can follow it with five Ws.

Most people have one bad day and they feel like their entire life is over. They discount the next 50 years based on one bad afternoon. That is the wrong way to look at it.

Every day is just one day. Some are wins. Some are losses. But if you zoom out and look at your calendar over a month, the wins will always outnumber the losses if you stay in the game.

The other thing he said was about comparison. When you see someone in the community doing 2 crore a month, do not compare yourself to them. Get inspired by them. Learn from them. But do not feel bad about where you are. Everyone is on a different timeline. Someone is doing 1 crore, someone is doing 1 lakh. That does not matter. What matters is that you are better today than you were yesterday.

India is a massive market

Vishal made a point that I want every reader to understand. India is one of the biggest markets in the world. The opportunity here is so large that we cannot even comprehend it fully.

He said something that gave me chills. He said that when he goes to sleep at night and wakes up in the morning, there are already 100 orders waiting for him. Orders that came in at 2 AM, 3 AM, 4 AM. While he was sleeping, people across India were buying.

That is the size of this market. There is room for everyone. This is not a zero sum game. The watermelon is so big that even if you eat a small piece, you are doing well. And there is enough for everyone who wants to take a bite.

The bottom line

Vishal went from zero to seven crore in seven months. Not because he had some unfair advantage. Not because he got lucky with one product. But because he followed the process, learned from his mistakes, stayed in the right community, and refused to quit.

The process works. It has worked for Vishal. It has worked for dozens of others inside the program. The only question is whether you are willing to follow it.

Stop overthinking. Stop watching random YouTube videos hoping to piece together a strategy. Stop waiting for the perfect moment. The market is massive. The opportunity is real. And the process is already laid out for you.

All you have to do is show up and do the work.
