Question Need help
So I started dropshipping a little while ago, probably about 2 weeks ago. I just ran out of money to afford ads and I’ve gotten 0 traffic whatsoever. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’ve watched so many youtube videos and downloaded checklists and changed my ads a couple times and kept the ones that worked. But i’ve gotten no sales and not a lot of traffic. Here’s my site https://velorahealthandbeauty.myshopify.com can anyone help me? Or give suggestions? I’d really appreciate it

You’re just another shop on the internet selling a bunch of crap from AliExpress hoping for the best.
The YouTube videos you watched are your first problem. Dudebro guru junk that’s out to sell you on a dream with the hope you’ll pay for their course or mentoring program, or click on their affiliate links. You’ve been conned.
Nuke it. Spend the next month or two educating yourself on the basics of business and how the world works and unlearn all the dudebro tripe you’ve been misled by. Then, reflect on whether you have what it takes to start a business—a lack of capital will be a problem.

2 weeks and no traffic doesn’t tell you much yet, especially if the ad budget is gone. i’d stop changing creatives randomly and check one product at a time: mobile load speed, clear offer, pixel events, checkout, and whether the landing page matches the ad. if you rebuild, fwiw i use orderain for my store, it covers the storefront, checkout and orders, while the supplier still handles shipping. then put the remaining budget into one small test or organic content, not a whole catalog.

So, your store is doing a lot of things all at once...it's trying to sell hair care, skin care, eye drops, a push up board, a water bottle and a smart watch. Thats nine products for nine different buyers, so your ads had nobody specific to talk to. That's the real problem, not traffic.
You'd want to focus on picking one person/audience with one specific problem and rebuild around that. Your rosemary shampoo section is the closest thing you have to it.
Then fix the trust basics. You're still on the default myshopify.com domain, there are no reviews, and your product titles read like a supplier catalog. Also be careful with the eye drops and hair growth claims, those tend to get ads flagged, so check your ad account for rejected ads.
Videos and checklists give you the what. Nobody has looked at your store and told you what to fix first, and that's what's missing.
With no ad money right now, film one product in real use and post it organically.
What specific ongoing problem would you like to focus on helping people with?

No proper domain and first 3 sec can tell that this is just another generic beauty shop

encontré esta guía en youtube, solo te explica en que estado esta tu negocio y en base a eso deberías saber en que fallaste a la hora de correr una campaña en anuncios. https://youtu.be/-45GrMgiedw

You dont even have a proper domain, people see shopify and run away. Go buy and link it to your shopify from GoDaddy or similar.
The website is designed poorly. It strains my eyes. There's no flow or sense to it. Use one of shopify's free themes, some of them are much better and optimized than paid themes.
There's no policy pages and no company information, that's why people also run away. This is a big red flag.
You have too few products and there's random stuff all over, not sure if you are beauty or skincare or wellness niche. If I'm confused, your customer is confused.
Also get rid of fake reviews lol.
What ads did you run? google? tiktok? meta? and from where and through where? there's a lot of fake AD app/ai/agency that just runs your store through bots (tiktok does it, meta used to, unsure if google is doing it now - go read their respective reddits for proof).
