r/RealEcom is a subreddit with 1k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and solution requests, and the community frequently discusses dropshipping, ecommerce, product, failure, and store.
Place where "get rich quick", "just run ads bro" and other guru bullshit is not tolerated.
Ecom and Dropshipping is real business. Let's treat it as such.
We welcome your real experience and your questions. But be prepared that answers are going to be straight, not sugarcoated.
And yeah: fake Shopify dashboards and AI slop are not welcome.
