Full transcript

1. 0:00All right, what is good, boys? Welcome
2. 0:01back to this channel.
3. 0:03It's been a while. If you know me, then
4. 0:05you might have noticed that I went
5. 0:06completely ghost and I quit
6. 0:09organic drop shipping at the end of
7. 0:102025, last year,
8. 0:13and I went silent for 1 whole year in
9. 0:152026 to pursue meta ads. So, I actually
10. 0:19quit organic drop shipping 1 year ago,
11. 0:21and I went all in into meta ads. And in
12. 0:24this video, I want to break down exactly
13. 0:26what happened throughout this journey,
14. 0:29and how I could literally pull off six
15. 0:31figures in revenue this year with 0%
16. 0:34profit. So, if you watch this video to
17. 0:36the end, you're going to learn
18. 0:38everything about the mistakes I did, the
19. 0:40experiences, and you can apply it for
20. 0:42your own journey. If you're in organic
21. 0:44drop shipping right now, you're thinking
22. 0:45about meta ads, or or you've maybe
23. 0:47already tried meta ads, but your main
24. 0:49skill, main business model is organic
25. 0:51drop shipping,
26. 0:53then this is for you. So, with no more
27. 0:55yapping, let's get straight into it. So,
28. 0:57first of all, if you don't know me, I'm
29. 0:58Chris. I was known as GPC Chris in the
30. 1:01organic drop shipping space. In 2024,
31. 1:032025, I had this YouTube channel for 2
32. 1:05years,
33. 1:06and I've been doing organic drop
34. 1:08shipping since 2023 myself. So, for now,
35. 1:12that's been 3 years. I started in
36. 1:13October 2023,
37. 1:152024, 2025, 2026. Now, it's going to be
38. 1:183 years that I did organic drop
39. 1:20shipping. I never fully quit it, but I
40. 1:22did shift my focus to meta ads 1 year
41. 1:24ago.
42. 1:25And not only did I hit seven figures,
43. 1:27which I, by the way, recorded on my
44. 1:29YouTube channel,
45. 1:30from literally testing products from
46. 1:32scratch to running up a
47. 1:34multi-six-figure brand, which eventually
48. 1:36ended up making seven figures for me.
49. 1:39Again, everything's on my channel. Not
50. 1:41only did I do it for myself, but I also
51. 1:43helped over 50 students in my X program.
52. 1:46It was called GPC, or a Green Printers
53. 1:49Club. That was the name of my personal
54. 1:50brand.
55. 1:51I helped over 50 students also hit six
56. 1:54figures, multi-six-figures, and even
57. 1:55seven figures. And I'm not sure how it
58. 1:58is right now with AI organic drop
59. 1:59shipping being super crazy at the
60. 2:01moment, but
61. 2:02we did have the world record for organic
62. 2:05drop shipping, which was
63. 2:06$300,000 in 5 days back then. I did it
64. 2:09for one of my students who ended up
65. 2:11hitting seven figures with his product.
66. 2:13So,
67. 2:14yeah, everything was recorded on my
68. 2:17second channel, all of my student wins,
69. 2:18my clients,
70. 2:20and also my own journey. I was always
71. 2:21doing organic drop shipping. I was never
72. 2:23going fully
73. 2:24guru mode, if you want to call it.
74. 2:26And the brand that I was essentially
75. 2:28blowing up to seven figures and other
76. 2:30products that I tested literally from
77. 2:32zero, from testing products in the
78. 2:33village to scaling to seven figures and
79. 2:36switching location to
80. 2:38to Dubai, as you can see. And I'm sorry,
81. 2:40guys, but the the heat is completely
82. 2:43killing me.
83. 2:44I hope you're not disturbed by that. So,
84. 2:46yeah, everything is documented here on
85. 2:47this channel. And
86. 2:49if you don't know me and you're
87. 2:51currently doing organic drop shipping or
88. 2:52whatever everyone's talking about AI
89. 2:54organic drop shipping, which didn't make
90. 2:56sense to my days,
91. 2:57then
92. 2:58some of these kids out there who are now
93. 3:00teaching about AI organic drop shipping,
94. 3:02they might have been in my community
95. 3:04back then or even in my coaching.
96. 3:06So,
97. 3:07yeah, that's me. But now I want to talk
98. 3:09about the journey that I went through
99. 3:11and what happened to me. So, at the end
100. 3:13of 2025, I came off a $100,000 month in
101. 3:17November 2025.
102. 3:19This was basically the highest numbers
103. 3:21I've ever achieved with organic drop
104. 3:23shipping.
105. 3:24And for the first time, I hit my first
106. 3:26$100,000 month with organic drop
107. 3:28shipping in 2024, also November.
108. 3:31And I did it again last year in Q4 2025
109. 3:34in November.
110. 3:35And yeah, those are were like kind of my
111. 3:37peak numbers
112. 3:39that
113. 3:40I kind of left off with uh when I quit
114. 3:42organic drop shipping. And you might
115. 3:44wonder, why would you quit organic drop
116. 3:46shipping? Why would you quit a business
117. 3:47model where you make $100,000 per month?
118. 3:49Well, as I said, I did it in 2024
119. 3:52already. I documented this by the way on
120. 3:54my channel.
121. 3:56And after hitting it again in 2025, I
122. 3:58was pissed. I realized that there was a
123. 4:01ceiling of this business model that I
124. 4:02could not
125. 4:04cross. I was kind of capped at $100,000
126. 4:07per month.
127. 4:09And I was sitting there after doing
128. 4:112 years of organic drop shipping back
129. 4:13then, and I was thinking, well, I'm in
130. 4:15my 20s right now. I want to kind of
131. 4:17level up. I don't want to be stuck in
132. 4:18the same business model.
133. 4:20So, I was looking for answers. I was
134. 4:23looking for solutions. How can I scale
135. 4:25beyond that ceiling? And if you're in
136. 4:27organic drop shipping, obviously,
137. 4:29the number one business model that
138. 4:30everyone's talking about besides organic
139. 4:32is paid acquisition, Meta Ads. So, you
140. 4:34make basically make the switch from
141. 4:35organic to Meta Ads, right? Instead of
142. 4:38acquiring customers organically,
143. 4:40you acquire them with paid, where you
144. 4:42can actually scale, and there's no
145. 4:44ceiling. You can scale out basically to
146. 4:46unlimited numbers. That's exactly what I
147. 4:48thought back then,
148. 4:50that
149. 4:51Meta Ads was the next step.
150. 4:53Meta Ads were the big leagues where I
151. 4:55can actually scale
152. 4:56indefinitely to numbers that I wanted.
153. 4:59And I would I would never ever be capped
154. 5:01at 100k per month again.
155. 5:03So, that's what I did. I archived my
156. 5:05YouTube channel. I closed my coaching
157. 5:06program back then.
158. 5:08And I
159. 5:09said,
160. 5:10"I'm going to Meta Ads. Those are the
161. 5:12big leagues." That's what I thought
162. 5:13that. So, in 2026, new year, fresh
163. 5:16start,
164. 5:17I went into Meta Ads. I trenched 2
165. 5:20months searching for a product that I
166. 5:23could scale with Meta Ads.
167. 5:25And I didn't plan to do organic at all.
168. 5:27I wanted to fully quit. But then I got a
169. 5:29call with my mentors,
170. 5:31Fun Punch, the Fun Punch brothers.
171. 5:33If you're from organic or Meta Ads, you
172. 5:35might have heard about them.
173. 5:37And they did the same thing. They went
174. 5:38with their product, which was an organic
175. 5:40drop shipping product, into Meta Ads.
176. 5:42So, I was like, all right, guys, what
177. 5:44should I do? They told me to run up the
178. 5:45product with organic drop shipping again
179. 5:48and then make the switch directly to
180. 5:49Meta Ads.
181. 5:50So, I started a new product in February
182. 5:522026. I ran it up to $10,000 revenue.
183. 5:55And once we crossed the $10,000 revenue
184. 5:57mark, he directly switched to Meta Ads.
185. 5:59I went all in on that new skill. And
186. 6:01when I did this, I basically threw away
187. 6:04my unfair advantage.
188. 6:06Guys, if you don't know what an unfair
189. 6:08advantage is, I'm going to break it down
190. 6:09very simply for you. If you're doing
191. 6:11organic drop shipping, your unfair
192. 6:12advantage is organic marketing. You know
193. 6:15how to make products go viral
194. 6:16organically, how to sell it organically
195. 6:19to people out there. This is your unfair
196. 6:20advantage. Compared to someone who's a
197. 6:23complete beginner, who doesn't know how
198. 6:24to do it, you know how to do it. That's
199. 6:26your competitive edge. You're better
200. 6:28than other people because you know how
201. 6:29to go viral and how to sell your
202. 6:30product. And this was my competitive
203. 6:32advantage for 2 years, now 3 years. And
204. 6:36I threw it away, and I said, "All right,
205. 6:37I'm going to do Meta Ads with this
206. 6:38product."
207. 6:40When I did this, I basically degraded
208. 6:41myself to a complete beginner starting
209. 6:44from scratch
210. 6:45with no skills at all, because trust me,
211. 6:48people are always saying
212. 6:50Meta Ads is super similar to organic.
213. 6:52You can easily make the switch. You
214. 6:53cannot. It's a lie.
215. 6:55Meta Ads is a completely new business
216. 6:58model.
217. 6:59Like
218. 7:00if you quit organic drop shipping and
219. 7:01want to go to Meta Ads, you have to
220. 7:02start from completely zero and learn a
221. 7:04completely new business model. That's
222. 7:06what I didn't get back then. I thought
223. 7:08it was going to be easy. I'm going to
224. 7:09have success fast. But that was not the
225. 7:10case. I threw away my unfair advantage.
226. 7:13I knew how to make viral content, how to
227. 7:15make money organically.
228. 7:17And I went back to the trenches with all
229. 7:19the beginners starting Meta Ads.
230. 7:21I was basically a nobody. So, I kept
231. 7:23organic running on the side just to
232. 7:26fund the ads essentially and pay for the
233. 7:28ads. But with that product, I went all
234. 7:30in on Meta Ads for the rest of 2026.
235. 7:33Starting in April 2026 up until
236. 7:35September 2026, I was all in on Meta
237. 7:39Ads. And the things that happened are
238. 7:40crazy. I was hitting $20,000 a month
239. 7:44with literally zero profit. I was
240. 7:47sometimes even losing money. And this is
241. 7:49what nobody's telling you. When you're
242. 7:50doing organic, you're sitting at 50% to
243. 7:5380% profit margins. It was the same for
244. 7:55me for 2 years straight. And all of the
245. 7:57blue I was making 20k per month, but I
246. 7:59had so much ad spend plus my team to pay
247. 8:02that I was literally walking off with
248. 8:04zero profit every month or sometimes
249. 8:06even a small loss because I had to pay
250. 8:08my editors. I had to pay my whole team
251. 8:10that I built during that time. And this
252. 8:12is what nobody's talking about in the
253. 8:14meta ad space, especially on YouTube.
254. 8:16They are all showing you these crazy
255. 8:17numbers that they're scaling to, but
256. 8:19they never show their profit margins.
257. 8:21So, in the end I ended up running up six
258. 8:23figures that year with 0% profit. Like I
259. 8:26probably took home a couple thousand
260. 8:27dollars and that's it.
261. 8:28Me personally, I count that as zero.
262. 8:30Especially if you if you hit six figures
263. 8:32in revenue. The only thing that was
264. 8:34constantly profitable from February 2026
265. 8:36when I started that product to September
266. 8:382026
267. 8:39was organic. The organic content machine
268. 8:41that was constantly running. This was
269. 8:43the only thing in the business that was
270. 8:45actually profitable every single month.
271. 8:48Ads, forget. And this is the point where
272. 8:50I want to bring up this tweet right here
273. 8:51that I saw on Twitter
274. 8:53of
275. 8:54a woman talking about how she would
276. 8:56always go with organic first when
277. 8:58starting a brand and scale to like, I
278. 9:00think it was $10 million in revenue or
279. 9:02something before touching meta ads. And
280. 9:051 year ago I would have I would have
281. 9:06called her crazy and a clown.
282. 9:08Now I would definitely sign that. And
283. 9:10she got so much hate in the comments on
284. 9:12Twitter of meta ads guys saying she's
285. 9:14and, you know, meta ads all the
286. 9:16way.
287. 9:17I'm going to tell you it's
288. 9:19the best way to do e-commerce to start a
289. 9:21brand is
290. 9:23focus on organic. Once you scale to a
291. 9:25certain number organic, then you can
292. 9:26switch to ads. Especially in the
293. 9:27beginning when you have little to no
294. 9:29capital,
295. 9:30always stick to organic.
296. 9:33Get the capital, get the cash flow, and
297. 9:35then you can invest into ads. I'm going
298. 9:37to give you another example, Gymshark.
299. 9:39You know Gymshark? They make gym
300. 9:40clothes.
301. 9:41You can search it up right now or ask
302. 9:43AI. They have a 1% profit margin every
303. 9:45single year, 1%. And this is a
304. 9:48multi-million, I think even a
305. 9:49billion-dollar company.
306. 9:511% profit margin on paper. I mean,
307. 9:55how is this a profitable business? How
308. 9:56is this even a considered a good
309. 9:58business? It doesn't make sense to me.
310. 10:00Another thing that I noticed throughout
311. 10:01this journey is I was connecting with a
312. 10:03lot of people coming from the Meta Ads
313. 10:05space to obviously get knowledge and
314. 10:07share knowledge with them. And all of
315. 10:09them had cash flow issues. All of them
316. 10:11were printing 100k days, 20k days,
317. 10:15whatsoever, seven-figure months with
318. 10:17paid ads, but they all had cash flow
319. 10:19issues. They all had put their credit,
320. 10:23they all put their ad spend on credit
321. 10:24cards. They had debts. Trust me, guys,
322. 10:27it's it's really not what it looks. You
323. 10:29see these big numbers everywhere and
324. 10:31you're when you're coming from organic,
325. 10:33you're like, "Yo, I want to hit a $1
326. 10:34million a month. How can I do it?"
327. 10:36Stick to organic. Don't even think about
328. 10:39throwing away your unfair advantage
329. 10:41to make $100,000 per day with ads, but
330. 10:43in the end you have cash flow issues,
331. 10:44you have no profits, and you're in
332. 10:46constant stress. Think about it. In
333. 10:48order for you to manage 100k per day,
334. 10:50you need a huge team that you need to
335. 10:51pay. You have so many orders that you
336. 10:54have a big headache with chargebacks,
337. 10:56payment processing issues, refunds,
338. 10:59banned ad accounts, rising ad costs on
339. 11:01Meta, and potentially even lawsuits
340. 11:03because you're getting so big, and other
341. 11:05companies see that. Dude, I would rather
342. 11:07make 100k per month at 50% profit than
343. 11:10make $500,000 per month with ads, but at
344. 11:1310% profit. In the end, you take home
345. 11:15the same exact profit. Although 500k per
346. 11:18month, you have much more headaches than
347. 11:20with 100k per month. So, for me
348. 11:22personally, what I've learned this year
349. 11:23is that Meta Ads is just a revenue
350. 11:26business. It's not a real business. For
351. 11:29me personally, a good business is a
352. 11:31business that has high margins
353. 11:33and that lets you actually take home
354. 11:36a big portion every single month
355. 11:38consistently. And for me, that's organic
356. 11:40all the way with 60 to 70 to 80% margins
357. 11:44and you take home a portion of that
358. 11:46every single month that you can invest
359. 11:48into stocks or into your savings.
360. 11:51That's a better business model than
361. 11:53operating at huge numbers and everyone
362. 11:55is calling you the goat on Twitter,
363. 11:57but in the end you take home nothing.
364. 11:59So, from what I learned this year, and
365. 12:00this is something you should take home,
366. 12:02always start with organic first and then
367. 12:05once you're consistently making money
368. 12:07with organic, then you can add the ads
369. 12:09later on top of that. I'm not sitting
370. 12:11here and hating on Meta ads. I've really
371. 12:13enjoyed the journey. Meta ads is much
372. 12:15more in-depth than organic. It's a real
373. 12:17real hard skill and it's much more
374. 12:19complicated than organic.
375. 12:21But I see it more as an amplifier. Once
376. 12:23you're making money with organic and you
377. 12:25have that content machine running,
378. 12:26creators posting for you, you can take
379. 12:28that content and turn it into ads. This
380. 12:31is your own content that you can use to
381. 12:34create your own ads and you can amplify
382. 12:37your organic revenue numbers with ads
383. 12:39cuz long-term if you're really building
384. 12:41something huge, a real brand, you want
385. 12:43to make sure you have multiple channels.
386. 12:44You don't want to only rely on Meta ads
387. 12:46and one ad account. You want to have
388. 12:47Meta ads, you want to have organic, you
389. 12:49want to have Amazon, you want to have
390. 12:51TikTok Shop, whatsoever. I'm going to
391. 12:53give you guys another example, which is
392. 12:55Bloom or Comfort. These are huge brands.
393. 12:59Let's say Bloom as an example. They're
394. 13:00selling energy drinks. It's super viral
395. 13:03everywhere in the US right now. You've
396. 13:04probably seen the founder, Rack, and
397. 13:07they basically did the same. He used
398. 13:08organic first to grow Bloom and hit a
399. 13:12certain number consistently
400. 13:14fully organically with high margins, got
401. 13:16the capital, the awareness, and the
402. 13:18content. He had so many creators that
403. 13:22once he had reached that goal fully
404. 13:24organically, he took that cash and
405. 13:25capital that he stacked, He used his
406. 13:27creators to then amplify it with meta
407. 13:30ads.
408. 13:31Same thing with Comfort were selling
409. 13:32hoodies or blankets. They started fully
410. 13:34organically first having influencers and
411. 13:37creators
412. 13:38and high profit margins and then they
413. 13:40amplified everything with ads. There
414. 13:42guys, I just want to share this with
415. 13:43you. If you're doing organic drop
416. 13:44shipping, you've ever thought about
417. 13:46switching to meta ads or scaling with
418. 13:48meta ads,
419. 13:49this is the harsh truth that I want to
420. 13:51share with you.
421. 13:52This is my experience that I made in
422. 13:532026.
423. 13:55And you're probably wondering, Chris,
424. 13:56why are you coming back? Why are you
425. 13:57sitting here on YouTube and
426. 13:59what's kind of the next step? Well,
427. 14:02I
428. 14:03learned the lesson. I'll share with you
429. 14:04guys and
430. 14:06I also realized that my competitive
431. 14:08advantage, my unfair advantage in the
432. 14:10market, again, as I mentioned earlier, I
433. 14:11define what is an unfair advantage. My
434. 14:14unfair advantage is organic drop
435. 14:16shipping or better yet, organic
436. 14:18marketing. Don't get me wrong. I'm super
437. 14:20grateful for what I learned with meta
438. 14:21ads and I'm for sure going to combine
439. 14:23meta ads with organic as soon as I get
440. 14:25the chance to.
441. 14:26But as of now, I'm returning back to AI
442. 14:28organic. I've already started. I've
443. 14:30built a small team of creators
444. 14:32and currently, as you might have seen,
445. 14:35what we're doing is AI organic. And it's
446. 14:37really, really interesting to me. I
447. 14:39found out about it through couple of my
448. 14:41friends. Also, all these guys you see
449. 14:43out there, the big names in organic and
450. 14:44AI organic, I've spoken to them. I've
451. 14:47kind of got into this space and from my
452. 14:50three years of organic drop shipping
453. 14:51experience, from what I've seen now
454. 14:53with AI organic, it's one of the most
455. 14:56interesting times for organic drop
456. 14:58shipping
457. 14:59ever because for the first time ever, I
458. 15:01can see that
459. 15:03with AI, you can actually scale organic
460. 15:06drop shipping.
461. 15:07I told you guys, back then I was capped
462. 15:08at 100K per month. I couldn't scale I I
463. 15:11couldn't scale organic. That's why I
464. 15:13switched to ads.
465. 15:14But now with AI,
466. 15:15this is the first time I ever believed
467. 15:17that you can actually scale organic drop
468. 15:19shipping to numbers like $1 million per
469. 15:22month or even more because you're able
470. 15:24to make content in bulk, you never have
471. 15:27to film anymore.
472. 15:29So, so I'm not going to lie, this is
473. 15:31very, very, very interesting times we
474. 15:33live in and it's just going to get
475. 15:34crazier and crazier. So, that's what I'm
476. 15:36doing right now. I do already have some
477. 15:38motion, I would say. As I said with
478. 15:40creators, we ran up a $10,000 in 4 days
479. 15:43for a year.
480. 15:44I also documented this on my Instagram.
481. 15:46If you want to follow me on Instagram,
482. 15:47this is my tag.
483. 15:48You can shoot me any DMs, any questions
484. 15:49you have about organic. As I said, I'm
485. 15:52an uncle. I've seen a lot of things. So,
486. 15:54if you have any questions, you can let
487. 15:55me know there. But yeah, that's kind of
488. 15:57where I'm going.
489. 15:58I try to build a creator army at the
490. 16:01moment where I can actually take a
491. 16:03product and scale it organically for the
492. 16:05first time ever with AI content. And
493. 16:07once I've kind of scaled that product
494. 16:09fully organically, then I'm for sure
495. 16:11going to add ads on top of that and
496. 16:12scale it even further with ads, exactly
497. 16:14like I explained in this video. Because
498. 16:16this is my unfair advantage. I not only
499. 16:18know exactly how to go viral and this is
500. 16:21exactly why I went back to these numbers
501. 16:23like 10K in 4 days so fast because I
502. 16:25know about organic drop shipping. The
503. 16:27principles have not changed, just the
504. 16:29tools with AI.
505. 16:31So, this is my unfair advantage. On top
506. 16:32of this, I also know about Meta Ads,
507. 16:34which is a very, very hard skill
508. 16:36and most organic guys don't know about
509. 16:38it. So, I'm probably going to combine
510. 16:40that with AI organic in the future.
511. 16:42Right now, the goal is to take over the
512. 16:44AI organic drop shipping space. So,
513. 16:46you're for sure going to see me. And if
514. 16:48I were you, from my 3 years of organic
515. 16:50drop shipping experience, what I can
516. 16:51give you is that if you're doing organic
517. 16:54drop shipping right now, there's a 99%
518. 16:56chance you're doing AI organic drop
519. 16:57shipping.
520. 16:58Guys, trust me, double down on that.
521. 17:00Double down on AI organic drop shipping.
522. 17:03I think this is a life This is a
523. 17:05once-in-a-lifetime
524. 17:06opportunity as an organic drop shipper
525. 17:08to actually scale to insane numbers. And
526. 17:11I'm for sure going to talk more about
527. 17:13that on this channel about AI organic
528. 17:16and kind of what I'm doing in the behind
529. 17:17the scenes with creators, etc. So, if
530. 17:20you want to follow me along on that
531. 17:21journey and learn more about AI organic
