It's not a quick fix. Success comes with your effort. This isn't some magic trick. It's a legit plan for success. And there are plenty of roadblocks if you do not have the right knowledge and experience. And that's why I put together this six hour course to teach you everything that I learned in my seven successful years of dropshipping, still doing it to this day with new and updated strategies for 2024 and beyond. I'm going to cover in depth all of the best places to sell on today, including Shopify, Amazon, eBay and Etsy, the best places to find and source winning products, fast private dropshipping suppliers, order fulfillment, branding, product optimization, and so much more as well as how to put everything on autopilot with the help of automation and artificial intelligence. And I guarantee you that this is the only dropshipping crash course you will need to be able to start and actually succeed after copying my working methods and strategies. And believe me, you're already ahead of 99% of the people who want to achieve their goals, but don't take the time to learn the right way and take action. Now remember to save this video, take breaks and use the timestamps below to jump back where you left off. So grab your favorite snack or beverage and without further ado, let's take the first step towards your success. So to start off, what is dropshipping for all of you who are new here? So dropshipping is a business model that simply allows you to fulfill orders and have an online store without holding any inventory or any stock. So it comes with a minimal upfront investment, you simply have an online store, a customer purchases from your online store, you forward the order details to your supplier and your supplier will ship the product to your customer so you won't have any physical contact with the product and you will keep the profit between the source price, how much you paid your supplier to the selling price, how much you sold it for on your selling channel. Now dropshipping has been around for a while and it's not going to go anywhere. So if you're asking yourself, is dropshipping still worth it in 2024? The answer is not just a yes, it is a big, big yes. And you can just take a look at this little graph right here by Globe Newswire. As you can see, this is the dropshipping market size over a span of 10 years. And right now we're right here in 2024. These are all of the previous years. So as you see, it's gradually growing year by year. And what we have coming up ahead of us is much bigger than anything we've ever seen, witnessed or experienced in the previous years. So if you're asking yourself, is there still room to enter the dropshipping scene? The answer is definitely a yes. Now is the best time to start. If you haven't done so yet, watch this video, get all of the information and resources that you need and then go ahead and take action. And as we can see in this Google Trends chart right here, the dropshipping term is being searched for more and more each year. So again, it's not going anywhere. The market size is increasing year by year. If you ever wanted to start, now is the time. So what are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the dropshipping business model? Let's start with the advantages. First, it has a low startup investment. You can start anywhere from $0 and I'm going to show you how all the way up to around $500 so that you can get a store up and running and start marketing your products. But again, you can also go with the free methods and I'm going to show you again everything in this video. So it's actually a low risk and high reward business model where again, you don't have to have that much capital to get started. And once you see the sales and profit start to roll in, that's when you're going to invest it back into your business and continue to grow until you start making substantial profits. Next, it can be done pretty much from anywhere. All you need is a computer and internet connection and the knowledge that I'm passing on to you in this video. There are no limits with the scalability. You can scale as high as you want to go. And once you've got all of the knowledge and experience, you can go on to create a network of business assets that will work for you even while you travel and even while you sleep. Now, some of the cons or disadvantages of the dropshipping business model is that sometimes it's difficult to build a brand, especially since we're dropshipping and we're only purchasing a product once someone actually buys from us. So that's why sometimes it's difficult to brand a product when the supplier doesn't really want to brand a product if you're only going to purchase one each time. But I'm going to cover that and I'm going to show you how you can still brand your business in this video. The second is finding winning products, products that are actually in demand, products that people are actually looking to buy. This is one of the most difficult parts when starting a dropshipping business. And I'm going to tackle this issue to the core pretty soon. The next is finding high quality suppliers to work with. There are the conventional suppliers that many dropshippers are using, like AliExpress and Amazon and other retailers. But then where are the private suppliers? Where are the wholesale suppliers that every dropshipper is looking to work with? Again, that's something I'm going to show you in this video. Knowing where to sell, how to start and having no control over stock prices and stock changes that are happening on your supplier's website that need to also happen on your website. And this exactly is where automation comes in. So those are some of the pros and cons. Now, I really want to get into the action. So let's continue. Now, before we go on to how do we actually create a dropshipping store and what all the rules are, I want to share with you some of the best winning products that you can sell on your stores. And I have all of these products in the 2024 cheat sheet that I will send to you. Once again, you comment hashtag dropshipping 2024. Let me know what you learned in this video. What was your top takeaway? And I will send you this sheet with everything that I'm talking about and all of the links inside. So check out this product right here, this mini portable printer. It's being bought for less than $19 and it's being sold for over $50. Let me click on the link to show you exactly what it looks like. So here inside the AutoDS winning products hub, we can see this printer and we can add it to our stores by just clicking on this import draft button right here. But more on that later. This is the ad copy that the seller is running. He's got over 33,000 likes over 4,000 comments. And this is what their website looks like. I can even get to their website by clicking on this link right here. So you can see their website right here. This is a website that was created on Shopify. This is one of the selling channels that we can sell on. And here's the supplier, the source where they're getting it from. In this case, from Ali Express, they're buying it for $19. They're selling it for $50. And now I'm going to show you three ad copies, three different competitors who are selling this product on their stores. So this is competitor number one, 240 likes, 70 comments. This is competitor number two with 6,000 likes, 400 comments in 1,300 shares. And this is competitor number three with 18,000 likes, 1,200 comments and 2,400 shares. Now, each, of course, are linking to their own website. So in this case, I can click here to go to this seller's website. And this guy is selling it for $65. And there was the other website that I showed you that is selling it for $50. And they all have a lot of success selling this product. I can tell not just by the amount of engagements that they're getting, anyone with 18,000 likes is getting a lot of clicks to their website. And these people are purchasing. They're checking out we're looking at around a two to five percent conversion rate, which means around two percent, at least two percent of the people who are clicking are actually purchasing the product. And another way to see that is simply by downloading the similar web extension. And this will give you an indication of how many people are entering this website on a monthly basis. So I'm just going to click on the extension right here. And we can see that this website, doodle dash dot com has over 31,000 visits per month. And if I go to the second website, print pod, we can see that this one is getting over 46,000 monthly visits. That's because they ran good ad copies as I showed you. And I'm going to share the links to all of that in this video. And if we just take around 47,000 monthly visits and get that two point five percent conversion rate, that's over 1,175 purchases per month. And this means that this store right here, who's buying it for less than $20 and selling it for $65, they're making over $40 in profit. So if we take 1,175 multiply that by $40 profit per month, they're making about $47,000 just by putting the right product on their website and marketing it the right way and showing you three different competitors selling the same product comes to show you that there is no such thing as product saturation, make a better offer to your buyers. It can be cheaper. You can also add an extra gift when they purchase that product. So they will want to buy a product and get a free bundle that comes with it rather than pay another competitor around the same price and not get that free gift. There's many things that you can do to outshine your competition. And of course, I'm going to touch up more on that later. But this is just one product example that you can see that there is no such thing as product saturation. There will always be someone else who's selling a similar product. You can sell the same product. You can sell a product that looks the same, but has different variations, maybe different colors, different dimensions. There is always something that you can do to stand out and make more sales than your competitors. So once again, some of the things that we can do to outshine our competition is doing things like adding free gifts like this free gift add to cart app for Shopify. If you're selling on Shopify, you can make offers to your buyers or get offers from your buyers and also add promoted listings. If you're selling on eBay and you can simply win the buy box. If you're selling on Amazon, those are just some examples. And I've got links on more information on how you can do all of that inside the cheat sheet. Now next, I've got some of the best winning products for you to sell. And I want to share this with all of you. And all of this has the information that I showed you what ads people are running for these products, how popular they are, their websites, their suppliers, where they're getting it from, how much they're making, how much they're profiting so that you can really take these examples and sell these products on your stores and do a better job than what you're seeing out here. So some of these products include this headrest pillow with an integrated massage, neck and back stretcher, reusable LED balloons, a four in one high speed USB flash drive, which, of course, there are many variations for you guys to resell fast charging retractable car chargers, portable picnic tables, bathroom, kitchen, gap cleaning brush, 1080p HD wireless camera and more that I'm not going to go over in this video. But this cheat sheet is packed with them. And again, hashtag dropshipping 2024 in the comments below. Let me know what you love about this video, what you learned about it. And of course, do not forget to like and subscribe if you guys appreciate the value. So those are some of the winning products soon. I'm going to show you exactly what you can actually do with them. But I started with that because I know that many people are having a hard time understanding what products to sell before they even get this whole party started. And if you create your dropshipping store, add products, make your homepage look really good, choose the right selling channel, market your product the right way, but you're not selling a product that's in demand right now because you haven't done that research and you don't have that experience yet. Your dropshipping store is simply not going to get anywhere. So we want to start with the right products. And that is what this cheat sheet is going to offer. And of course, we have all of these products and more inside the AutoDS winning products hub. So if you're a member of AutoDS, enjoy all of these products. I'm going to talk more about that later, but you can find all of that. And then some there, we've got hundreds of new products being uploaded every day with all of the information that you need. Now let's talk really quickly about what dropshipping products not to sell. We can talk about what we can sell. We've got years and years of data and analytics and a huge database of winning products, but what about products that we cannot sell because we can't just sell anything that we want, right? There are things that we are simply not official resellers of, for example, big brands. If it's a brand that you probably heard of before, like Nike, Sony, Apple and more, you can obviously not resell their products. However, what you can do is resell aftermarket parts or aftermarket accessories made by third party manufacturers. And you can and will be able to resell those products that fit the iPhone like cases for iPhone, screen protectors for Samsung, galaxies and so forth. So all of that is not a problem as long as the manufacturer is not a big brand. So we cannot sell copyright and trademark products. We cannot sell age restricted products like pornography, alcohol, tobacco, and we cannot sell dangerous goods. This one should go without saying, but no guns, no ammunition, no flammable liquids and anything of that sort and no medicines, no supplements. We're not doctors. We cannot sell these things. And again, if you want to learn more about what products you need to avoid reselling, just click on the link in the cheat sheet and it'll take you to a full article on how you can learn more about that. And this way you'll know that what you are selling in your store is perfectly fine. Now, let's go over the best dropshipping suppliers to use in 2024. There are new suppliers that are coming out all the time and they're looking to work with dropshippers. And here I kind of want to split the suppliers into two. We've got retail suppliers and we've got private suppliers. Now, under that, we also have wholesale suppliers. We can have retail wholesale suppliers. We can have private wholesale suppliers. And this just brings us one layer deeper inside and by finding suppliers that don't need to go through middlemen to find us. So this means we're actually getting a much, much better price. Now, the difference between retail suppliers and private suppliers is that retail suppliers can be found anywhere and any dropshipper can work with them. For example, AliExpress, Amazon, Walmart, the Home Depot and all of those types of examples, those are retailers. Now, some of them may not want you to dropship from them. It doesn't mean that dropshippers are not doing it and that it's not possible. But some retail suppliers are simply not as dropshipping friendly. Whereas on the other hand, we have private dropshipping suppliers who are looking to work with dropshippers like us and make our jobs much, much easier. Another difference is that usually retailers have much more products for us to resell. So it's easier to work with retailers. Well, on the other hand, private suppliers have special products, unique products that retailers usually don't have. So for me, a combination of both is usually the winner. In any case, we don't want to work with just one dropshipping supplier. It's good to work with multiple and also from different locations around the world. This way, we cannot only target the worldwide audience. We'll have more products to sell. We're not putting all of our eggs in one basket. So if one supplier ever fails to provide, we can always lean on the other suppliers that we're working with. So we want to work with multiple suppliers. And some of the things that we want to look for in a dropshipping supplier is to make sure that they have global warehouses. As I mentioned, we want to be able to reach out all over the world with our products. It's good to target only one place in the beginning. But as we get more and more used to it, we want to open up our stores. This is where we're going to get more traffic and more sales. Many people like to start selling in the USA or in the UK, in other words, to the US audience or to the UK audience. And it's OK, you can do that from anywhere around the world. You don't have to reside in the same place that you want to sell to. However, you do need to understand how it works with the sales tax, income tax and all of that, all of which you can learn by simply hiring an accountant and asking them how all of that works. More info on that later. Let's continue. So we want to look for global warehouses. We want to look for suppliers who can quickly ship out our products and that have fast delivery times simply because customers do not want to wait 30 days to get their products. It's not six years ago. It's now. It's 2024. Nobody wants to wait a month. Next, we want to find suppliers with good return and replacement policies. Now, check out the difference between offering no returns on your store to offering 14, 30 day or even 60 day returns. If our suppliers can offer that to us, of course, we're going to offer that to our customers. And once we offer our customers returns, most of them are not going to return their products. But the fact that we gave it to them in the first place did give them the confidence that they need to proceed with the checkout process because they know that they can always return the product if they don't like it. Next, we want to get suppliers that have fast and reliable customer service, the better service you get from your suppliers, the better you'll be able to offer your buyers. So we want to reach out to our suppliers, see how fast they can answer us and see what types of solutions they offer us to the problems that we give them. And this way, we can really get a good understanding of the type of service that we'll be able to offer our buyers. Next, we want suppliers with a wide product range so that we can sell more trending products as they come in. And we want high quality products to reduce the amount of returns that we'll get. Lastly, we want a supplier with competitive product prices. This should go without saying, but the better the prices you're getting, the better the prices you'll be able to offer your buyers. Meaning you'll be able to be more competitive and make more sales and profit. And now that we understand what to look for in a dropshipping supplier. Here's a list of the best dropshipping suppliers for you to work with. Now, remember, we haven't talked about selling channels yet. We haven't talked about where to sell these products and how to work with these suppliers right now. I'm just giving you all of the resources and tools that you'll need so that you can slowly narrow down and start building your store. So we understand what to look for in a supplier. Now I'm going to go over the best suppliers that you can work with in different niches, different regions, different types of suppliers. Check out this list that I prepared for you. So the first supplier that I want to talk about is AutoDS, that is now a private supplier. This is all happening inside the AutoDS marketplace, where now the system has private suppliers, meaning other suppliers who are signing up to the system, adding their products to the system. And you can easily take those products and sell them automatically on your stores. And AutoDS also is a private supplier inside the system with a warehouse that ships really quickly and has trending products that are ready to ship out every single day. Now, not only that, but the private suppliers in AutoDS can also offer customized branding. So we talked about the branding issue when it comes to dropshipping. And I mentioned how it's not really possible to brand your products and ship each one out with your logo if you're a dropshipper and you're only purchasing one product each time. No supplier is going to create a customized logo for you for only one order each time. And we don't want to purchase inventory in advance because that's not the dropshipping business model. But now it is possible with customized branding inside the AutoDS warehouse. Here's a brief overview of what it looks like. So we've got the marketplace, the AutoDS marketplace right here. And here are under suppliers. I'm going to choose AutoDS suppliers, which has the private suppliers. And as I scroll down, you can see like this backpack, for example, has a customizable branding text attached to it coming from the AutoDS warehouse. So this means that this product not only can we add it to our stores by just clicking on this button and in just a couple of seconds it'll get added, but we're going to talk more about that stuff later. This product can get sent out with your customized logo on it. So I clicked on it really quickly just to see what it looks like inside. And we can see here that we've got different variations, different colors of this backpack that we can add to our stores. And we can also send a private message to the private suppliers. So I just clicked on send a message. And here I'm just going to write, hey, this is just a test message. How are you doing? So here you can start communicating with your suppliers, check out their products, check out their shipping times. You can even try to negotiate a better deal for these products. But that's just another example of what you can do inside the AutoDS marketplace with the private suppliers. And as I mentioned, since it has customizable branding, this means that we can add our brand to this product simply by going to the store settings on AutoDS and uploading our logo right here. So this is the logo that I've uploaded right now and every product that I sell from that private supplier that offers customizable branding, the product will get sent out with my store logo on the product. And that is simply amazing. So that is why the AutoDS marketplace and private suppliers is my top go to for dropshipping suppliers. But guys, there are many more suppliers on top of that. One example is simply by heading to the AutoDS suppliers page. And here you have a list of over 30 dropshipping suppliers that you can start working with today. Not only are these suppliers super important, but you can also automate every aspect of your dropshipping business with them. So you'll have price monitoring, stock monitoring, automatic orders, quick product importing and so much more. You can also filter these suppliers by different regions. So as I mentioned, it's important to work with suppliers that can ship to different locations around the world or that are based in different locations around the world so that we can ship quickly to our target audiences around the world. And here we can simply filter the different types of regions or we can search for a specific supplier. But here you've got over 30 suppliers that you can work with, which is already a huge list of suppliers with tens of millions of products that you can start reselling today, not only reselling, but also automating your business with them. But on top of that, if you want to work with a supplier under a specific niche, like let's say you want to open a jewelry dropshipping store, you have this blog article right here with the best jewelry dropshipping suppliers that you can work with. And as I scroll down, you can just see that you have the list right here and you have an explanation about each supplier, what they can do for your jewelry dropshipping business. And we've got the same for different types of niches, for example, pet dropshipping suppliers, clothing dropshipping suppliers, dropshipping gifts from the UK, dropshipping clothes from the UK, candle dropshipping suppliers, print on demand, dropshipping suppliers from Australia, medical suppliers, which you need to be careful with because we talked about medicines and supplements, but this will help you understand exactly what types of medicines and supplements you can sell, lingerie dropshipping suppliers, Australian dropshipping suppliers, Florida, Canada, UK, USA, 30 free dropshipping suppliers and wholesale dropshipping suppliers. So all of these blog articles are packed with information with how you can connect with these suppliers, how you can work with them, who they are, what types of products they have and how we can dropshipping them successfully. So this is my list of the best dropshipping suppliers to work with in 2024. And believe me, it's more than enough. Now, one more important thing that I want to add on to suppliers.  Of course, I'm going to get to all this stuff later, but if you've done this before and you've been making sales or you're about to start making those sales because you listed those products. And by the way, you can all invest just one dollar into your business. Sign up for AutoDS with your one dollar trial and you'll get all of the automation things that I'm talking about in this video. It's definitely worth the investment. And of course, I've got a link to it right below this video. So another thing that you can do is also source for products. So let's say you're already working with a supplier. Let's take these dog chew toys right here. So I'm going to open up the item editor for it. OK, so this is just one of the products that I have on one of my stores. We can see all of the information right here. But here I can click on these three dots and I can request sourcing. This means that I can tell the system, the AutoDS system, hey, guys, I just sold this product and I'm looking for a cheaper source. I don't like my supplier, which in this case, I can click on the supplier right here. It looks like Walmart's logo. Let's see. Yeah, so I don't want to buy from my supplier Walmart. They're a retailer and I actually want to get a cheaper supplier that has faster shipping or a cheaper price. So can you please source this product for me and find a cheaper supplier? And the system will do that for you. So that's another way to not only help you get more profits for your order, it's going to help you with your product research because you're going to be connected to better suppliers. But it's also going to help you, once again, find better suppliers to work with for your drop shipping business, find those private suppliers and start to scale your business from there. So that's another quick tip when it comes to drop shipping suppliers and sourcing your products to find better suppliers for the products that you're already selling on your stores, whether from retailers, wholesalers, private suppliers and so forth. So we talked about working with multiple suppliers. We talked about private suppliers. We talked about AutoDS suppliers and AutoDS as a supplier. But I'm also going to add more methods if that is not enough to find the best suppliers to work with in your dropshipping stores, in your dropshipping business. So another way to do it is to simply conduct a Google search for private wholesale dropshipping suppliers. And that's going to give you a list of other wholesale dropshipping suppliers or private suppliers that you can work with. However, this is the manual method. You're going to have to reach out to them. You're going to have to negotiate with them, see what the requirements are, make sure that they don't have a minimum order requirement. Like, for example, if you go to Alibaba, you'll notice that they're selling a lot of products, they support dropshipping. But on the other hand, they do require an M.O.Q. or a minimum order quantity for many of their products, not all, but for many of their products, which again, takes us away from the dropshipping business model, which we don't want to do. So we have to contact those suppliers. We have to negotiate with them, pricing, payment options and all of that. And once we find someone that looks like they're going to work well with us, we can go ahead and start working with them. Also, we won't really be able to benefit from automation when we're working with these private suppliers that we found off of Google. So it's going to be a little bit more difficult to scale our business, but it's still a possibility and I'm still going to throw it out there. And when we start to negotiate with these private suppliers that we found from search engines, make sure that they comply with the things that we're looking for in a dropshipping supplier, which I mentioned earlier in this video. And now let's actually understand how we can start a dropshipping business after we've been over product research suppliers and all of these important aspects that we need to understand that we need to take advantage of before we jump in and start to create our stores, which is what I'm going to show you how to do right now. So how do we start a dropshipping business in 2024? A step by step tutorial. So this is the right way to start a dropshipping business in 2024.

For example, we can do the conventional method of opening TikTok and writing hashtag TikTok made me buy it in the search field, as well as Amazon finds try also hashtag gadgets. You'll find a lot of trending products that people created organic videos around them and they're selling them. Lots of people are clicking, lots of people are buying them. So you can get an example of those types of products there. Plus, I left a link to the Autodesk TikTok spy tool. This is another tool that you can use to find winning TikTok ad copies that will lead you to the product pages. I have a quick example right here inside the Autodesk system. So I can simply click right here on TikTok spy and I can filter all types of things like I want to find the types of videos that got more than 20,000 likes so I can really narrow down on the popular ones. And as I scroll here, I'll be able to find some great products that other dropshippers are selling like this TikTok shop jewelry product right here that's got over 30,000 engagements. And as I scroll, I'll find more and more. So this is another way to be able to spy on the competition, see what people are doing on social media, what's working well for them. And of course, we can replicate that success with the dropshipping suppliers that we found. The next method for product research, again, absolutely free, costs zero dollars is going to your supplier's websites and checking out new products, new arrivals and best sellers. And one of the new best suppliers on the scene is Timu. And we've already got content on how you can leverage Timu for your dropshipping business. You can also automate them, add products in a second and you'll have price and stock automation. All of the automation going on with Autodesk, we also support Timu. And here you simply want to click on new arrivals and see what are some of these products that you simply haven't seen before, like this cute bat shape novelty bag. I've seen all kinds of bags, but I haven't seen this cool bat shape one. And you can continue narrowing down on products that you simply haven't seen before. Now, if you're new to the dropshipping scene, almost every product is going to look new to you. But the more you look into it, the more you research for products, the more you check out what other competitors are doing, the easier you'll be able to spot new items that are coming out that people simply haven't started selling yet. Now, again, I said that saturation is not an issue, but it's much easier to sell products that are not being sold by too many competitors out there. And you can do that once again by going to the new arrivals and testing out those products. Another one is simply by clicking on suppliers bestseller sections. So Timu, of course, also has a bestseller section. You can do it with other suppliers that you're working with. But these are proven trending products, what we see right here. So this is another place where you can easily find hot sellers to market to your audience. Another place to conduct product research and get it again absolutely for free is leveraging the AliExpress dropshipping center. So I left a link to it with a full blog article and a video on how to use the AliExpress dropshipping center, and this simply has it all. It has all kinds of trending products. You have a smart filter system and you can easily find so many new winners using the AliExpress dropshipping center, which AliExpress created just for us dropshippers. So go ahead and read about how you can use the AliExpress dropshipping center. We all have it for free inside our AliExpress accounts. More info on the content that we have below. And lastly, once you use all of these methods or one of these methods, you'll find more than enough winning products for you to start your dropshipping business from and start to learn from those products that actually start to sell on your store. On top of that, I'm also going to provide you with this product research dropshipping spreadsheet where you can easily start to narrow down on your winning products. So this means, for example, that you're going to add the product's name right here, you're going to add the source, the supplier's link, and you're going to answer all of these questions like, are you passionate about this product? Do you even care about it? Because it's more difficult to sell products that we don't really understand or we don't really have any passion for them when we don't know what they are. Is it hard to find in stores? Is it hard to guess the price? Is it safe to sell? Does it solve a problem or stand out? This is one of the most important things. One of the most important questions that we want to ask ourselves is if the product is not a problem solver, then we can't show the audience why they need it. Talking about a product's features is not going to do the job. You need to make the customers or the online choppers understand why they need this product. So what problem does it help them solve? And does the product cost less than $30? We don't want to start with really expensive products. It's easier to sell cheaper products in the beginning. And once we answer all of these questions, if we have no one, some of them will move on to the next products. And the ones that we answered yes to all of them, those products have a much higher chance of selling on our stores. So use this product research drop-spin spreadsheet. I have a link to it again in the cheat sheet. All you got to do is click on file, make a copy so that you can start making those edits yourself. And again, more freebies for product research. This is how you're going to find winning products and you don't have to spend a dime doing so. So we talked about product research. Now we're going to talk about selecting a drop-spin supplier. Now we already talked about the suppliers. We talked about the AutoDS marketplace with private suppliers, customized branding, and the AutoDS warehouse. We talked about the 30 plus drop-spin suppliers that you can automate your drop-spin business with today, including Timu, Shane, Etsy, AliExpress, Amazon, Walmart, and more. And you also have niche and region-specific suppliers in the list that I showed you above. So once you choose what supplier you want to work with and take everything into consideration, everything that I showed you in this video, next you want to choose a selling channel. And now it's about time to start talking about this. Most videos out there that you're going to see are going to try to get you to sell on one selling channel because that's mostly where they have their experience. But we have much more experience than that here. And today, the best selling channels for you to sell your products on are eBay, Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, Facebook Marketplace, Facebook Shops, WooCommerce, and Wix. So those are the selling channels that are really popular today. Some are marketplaces and some are customized websites. I'm going to go over each and every one of them so that you can narrow down on the one that suits your business the most. Starting with eBay. So the first selling channel that I want to talk about is eBay. I've been dropped being on eBay for years and years now, and it's one of my favorite selling channels to sell on. So I'm going to show you my screen soon. I'm going to show my eBay store and some of the things that I'm doing there, as well as other selling channels that I'm going to talk about. But for now, here's one of the reasons why I love eBay. For one, it's really easy to get started. You don't need to create a whole store from scratch. You can simply register for an eBay account and start selling at zero expenses. Today, eBay offers over 200 listings that you can list absolutely for free without spending a dime.  So you can really start to scale your business once you start making sales and profits. And if you're not making any sales with those 200 products, you can always replace them with other products until they start to sell. And then with those profits, you'll start to invest it back into your business, as I mentioned before. So it's easy to get started. It's got millions of online shoppers with intent to purchase. Now, eBay's got millions of online shoppers with an intent to purchase. What this means is when someone opens up eBay, as opposed to opening up a Google, on eBay, they're opening it because they're looking to buy something. And when they're opening up Google, they can just search for something like, I don't know, how to get rid of acne. So on eBay, you've got millions of online shoppers entering every day with an intent to buy something. They're gonna search eBay search field for something that they wanna buy. And if your title is similar to what they're searching for, they're most likely going to see you on the front page. And that is how you can get free organic traffic to your store. You can do it without any marketing techniques and without spending a dime on marketing. And I'm also gonna go over some free marketing methods that you can use for eBay, as well as for other selling channels. Another thing that I love about eBay is that, well, I already mentioned this, but it's got a $0 starting budget. I already explained why, and that's one of the things that I love about it. Also, you've got seller and buyer protection. For us, what's good is the seller protection. So of course, for example, if a buyer reaches out and opens up a case on eBay and says, hey, I didn't get my product, the seller, you, you didn't send the product to me.   Hey, here's your UPS tracking link or USPS or FedEx or whatever shipping carrier you got from your supplier. Here is proof that your product was delivered to your address. And this way, eBay is going to side with you, the seller, instead of just saying, oh, if a buyer said so, then it's probably true. So that's you, the seller getting seller protection. And this is one thing that eBay offers, seller and buyer protection. And it's also easy to spy on the competition. It's easy to just open up eBay, search for a product that you want to sell and see how well other competitors are selling them. eBay will easily show you how many similar sellers are selling that product and how many sales they're making from it. So it's really easy to spy on the competition and see what they're doing. Some of the cons of selling on eBay is selling limits. So if you don't have an eBay account or if you haven't sold anything yet on eBay before, then you're going to start off with around the 10 products that you can sell. And even though eBay tells you, hey, you can list 200 products for free, only if it's a new account, we're only going to allow you right now to list 10 products. That's not a lot, not enough to conduct product research and see what's working well for us. So for this, we're going to have to learn how to raise our selling limits. And I'm going to provide you with all of those resources soon. The second is competition. Now, competition isn't the end of the world, but it will cut from some of ourselves and some of our profits. And that's why we're watching this very special video to understand how we can overcome all of that. It's difficult to build a brand on eBay because it's not your own store. It's eBay store at the end of the day and you're simply selling on their marketplace.  So it's more difficult to create a brand around that product. And also there is no customer email list. This is a great marketing methods to be able to send email marketing campaigns to our buyers and send them some promotion, send them some offer so that they will want to go to your website and of course purchase or repurchase again. On eBay, we're not collecting any email addresses. eBay is gonna keep that information for themselves. So on the one hand, they're giving us millions of online shoppers free, organically, as long as we're selling something that people are looking to buy, they're gonna find their way to our listings. But on the other hand, they're gonna keep the customer information so that they can retarget them and they can resell to them. But you can also target customers who are taking interest in your products. I'm gonna get to that soon. So here are some of the best resources that you can have so that you can start selling well on eBay. The first is how to start drop shipping on eBay, a full beginner's guide. And this blog article and video that's embedded inside will take you step by step on how to create an eBay store from scratch. And this has it all, including how to sign up for it to eBay, how to list your first item, how to conduct product research on eBay, selecting suppliers to work with, calculating your profits, importing your products, fulfilling your orders, upgrading your selling limits, and all of the extra things that you need to know about. So this full guide has it all. It's again, completely free A to Z, how to start a store from scratch with no experience to actually making your first sales and profit. The next resource is how to find top selling items on eBay. So this blog article and video will help you with your eBay product research. Next is the 20 best eBay drop shipping suppliers so you can connect with the right suppliers to work with on your eBay stores, how to increase eBay selling limits. We've got a full article detailed only on increasing your eBay selling limits, which is really important, especially if you're starting a new eBay account. Now, if you're a seasoned seller and you already have some accounts and you've been selling for a few years, there is a lot of marketplaces where you can buy ready-made eBay stores or people who have been selling for a while and now they're selling their stores because I don't know, they moved on to other things and you can take advantage of those stores and those selling limits also. So you can either start your own or buy a working business. And you've also got a free A to Z eBay drop shipping course. Everything of course is linked inside the cheat sheet. Again, if you want it, just drop a comment below, hashtag drop shipping 2024. Let me know what you learned in this video. What was your top takeaway? And I will share this cheat sheet with all of the links inside. So here's that free eBay course that I was talking about. Again, absolutely free. Just click on the link and start watching all of these videos that you have for this course. This course will take you through a full tutorial every step of the way. This again is more than enough to start a successful drop shipping business on eBay, which is one of the selling channels that you can sell on. So again, you've got your list of suppliers with tens of millions of products that I showed you that I talked about in this video. You can take those products and sell them on your selling channels, which is what I'm going over right now. So eBay is one of those selling channels where you can sell all of those products from your suppliers. Now let's take a quick look at one of my eBay stores. So you can see right here, I'll even refresh the page so you can see it's not some screenshot or whatever. So here's some of the traffic that I'm getting on my eBay store. And you can simply see they're giving out to you everything with full analytics. You can see how many people are coming in organically, how many people are coming in from promoted listings, which is one of the marketing methods that I'll talk about later when we get to the marketing part. But again, I'm not paying a dime for marketing only after I make a sale on eBay. My top 20 search spot impressions and so forth. So you can see my total impressions, how many of them are organic, how many page views and sold listings. But I'm going to show you that in a different screen. And this is just looking from September to October. So just one month of data. Now let's look at some of the performance and sell so we can see some of that right here. Again, this is just in the last month and this is just one of my stores. I have multiple stores. I don't have enough time to show you guys everything, but this is just one of them. So we can see the total amount of sales in the last month, the quantity sold, average price per product, how many sales in total, how many total buyers we have, how many of them are one-time buyers, how many of them are repeat buyers, and sales by category, and more information that they offer. And we've also got the payment section so I can just refresh this. Again, this is the total funds that eBay owes me. So at the moment, they owe me around $500 and they process some of those funds, some of them are available. I have my payouts set on a daily basis. But still, sometimes it takes them a few days to send their payouts, but that's okay. I've got enough cash flow going on to process my orders, get my payouts, and of course, send the profits withdraw them to my bank account. This eBay account is connected to one of my Payoneer accounts. So eBay sends the funds to my Payoneer account and I use my Payoneer account to either pay for my orders, pay my suppliers, or withdraw the funds, the profits to my bank account. So that's mainly how it works with eBay. Again, this is just off the top. There's much more that goes to it and that's why I left all of the resource links right here. So eBay is one of my favorite selling channels. Number two is Shopify.   So first things first, use this free Shopify trial signup link. Otherwise Shopify is not gonna give you a free trial and it's important to start off for free. Start off with a budget of zero. Use the link that I have in this cheat sheet to get your free Shopify trial and really try it out before you buy. Some of the things that I love about Shopify is once again, it's a fully customizable website. You have no selling limits, unlike eBay. Shopify won't tell you, hey, you can only this 10 products on day one. You can list 1,000 or even 10,000 products on day one. Hey, it's your store, it's your business. You can do whatever you want with it. Third, it's easier to build your brand because again, it's your store and you can make it look however you want. It's not inside a marketplace. Nobody owns your store except for you. You can collect, of course, your customer's email list. So this time when customers are leaving their email addresses because you're sending them some promotion or they purchased from your website, you're collecting their email address. And once you have a few hundred email addresses or a few thousand, you can start sending them email marketing campaigns. Again, we're gonna talk about marketing soon, but this is another really important thing to have because once you have the customer's email address, they're yours and sending out an email doesn't cost any money. So this is free marketing for your customers but it does take a while to build it up in the beginning. Again, no technical skills required and you have access to the Shopify themes in App Store. So you have a huge list of themes to make your store more visually appealing and you have the App Store that can help you make more conversions, help you with marketing, help you with better pop-ups, help you with email marketing campaigns, help you make good offers for your buyers, free gifts and so many more things that you can do there. Some of the cons about Shopify is that it actually requires a marketing budget. Now there are some free marketing techniques that I'm gonna talk about soon but mainly if you wanna start running ads for your products so that people can actually see it, you're gonna have to spend a budget on marketing. Whereas in marketplaces that have free organic traffic like eBay, you don't really have to spend anything on marketing. You can list a product and if somebody is searching for it, they're most likely gonna find it in your store. Only on Shopify, there is no Shopify search engine. They can search on Google but Google is gonna have so many other types of results.  Another is that it has a more difficult learning curve than other methods even though I'm gonna solve this for you soon. It takes time to build a store especially if it's your first store or your first couple of stores and it comes with a monthly subscription. You have to pay a monthly subscription in order to get your store open running on Shopify even if you haven't made any sales yet. That is why it's crucial to start with the free trial signup link and right now Shopify is also gonna offer three months for $1 using this link. So again, use it, take advantage of it, try before you buy and make your business work the right way by investing the minimal amount and getting the maximum results. Some of the resources that I have for you to start the right way on Shopify is a full free Shopify drop shipping course just like the eBay one that I showed you. So this is the same for Shopify. You have all these lessons here and it has everything that you need on every topic. And here side by side, I create a store from scratch with you whether it's the logos or the homepage and the product page and everything that comes along with it, navigation menus and so forth. Next we have a how to start drop shipping on Shopify full guide, again embedded video inside if you wanna watch the video but you have the whole walkthrough of how to start a Shopify drop shipping store just like the course only here it's broken down into sections in a blog article and you have more content like how to start drop shipping from AliExpress to Shopify if you wanna use AliExpress as your supplier top Shopify drop shipping stores examples and their secrets. So there we have a lot of examples of Shopify stores that are making it they're successful and we gave you all of their strategies and everything that they're doing there how to spy on Shopify stores so you can spy your competition even better and the top 17 Shopify drop shipping supplier so I'm not gonna open those links now but that is some of the Shopify resources that you're gonna get inside the drop shipping 2024 cheat sheet and here's one of my Shopify drop shipping stores let me just refresh this dashboard really quick so these are the stats from the last year we've got almost a million dollars in sales in 82% increase most of it that's coming from the online stores rather than the apps that I'm using over 610,000 online store sessions online conversion rate of 2.5% as I mentioned it's mostly between two to 3% so I usually take 2.5% because that's what's happening in my stores that's also what's happening on other stores that I see and again this is the average conversion rate in the drop shipping industry so we've got 38,000 ad to cart sessions we've got over 17,000 total orders average order value of $65 which is pretty good that's medium ticket we've got the top selling products returning customer rate of 16% which is great I've got a lot of returning customers on this online store and again the Shopify dashboard is full of analytics of everything that you need so user resources learn exactly the steps that I took in order to create the successful drop shipping stores so that you can replicate the same success for you now the next selling channel that I wanna talk about is Amazon we can all sell on Amazon anyone can create an account there and start drop shipping products right now and this goes by entering a buy box and making a better offer than the sellers who already have their products listed on Amazon the reason that we wanna do this is because we can completely automate our business connect our Amazon store to AutoDS and have everything automated for us here's an example of one of my Amazon drop shipping stores so I have a couple of products listed here and again you've got access to the Amazon seller central where you can take a whole bunch of actions on your store even though most of it can be done through AutoDS and one of the things that I love about Amazon is just like eBay it's easy to get started just sign in, verify your seller account and start adding products millions of online shoppers with an intent to purchase that's why they enter Amazon cause they're looking for something that they wanna buy and again not how to create arts and crafts or whatever they have free organic traffic so they're gonna give you they're gonna bring the customers to you simply add products that people are looking to buy and they will find their way to your listing it's easy to spy on the competition just like on eBay search for the product that you wanna sell on Amazon see how well it's going there for other sellers or maybe you'll notice that there's not much competition on it so that you can easily enter that buy box and kill the competition enter the buy box and win that's what it's all about if you have no idea what I'm talking about do not worry because of course I've got all the links to the resources below but let's talk about some of the cons this does come with a monthly subscription especially once we start to automate our business but again in the long run it's worth it because we're gonna make much more sales and profit this way but there is a professional monthly subscription that we need to pay Amazon so that we can start selling there is a bit of competition which of course we can definitely outcome and again it's difficult to build a brand cause it's a marketplace just like eBay and there's no customer email list just like eBay that's a marketplace it's one of the cons that we have there but we have the other pros like free organic traffic easy to get started and they just simply have millions of customers who are looking to purchase products day by day and they can make it to your listing so one of the resources that we have here inside the 2024 cheat sheet for drop shipping again, hashtag drop shipping 2024 and I'm gonna send this cheat sheet to you with everything that I'm going over in this video don't forget to like and subscribe if you appreciate the value so here is the free Amazon course and you can see all of the lessons right here and of course we've got more info like a full video that many people seem to like over 240,000 views as I'm recording this video so it's a full walkthrough on how to start your drop shipping business on Amazon of course we've got a blog article that's also gonna take you step by step hand in hand as you start by registering your account choosing your selling plans starting to look for products looking for good products that are selling so that you can enter the buy box and be the first seller on there so that every time someone purchases from Amazon they're gonna purchase from your listing even though there's other sellers on Amazon who are selling that same exact product it's called winning the buy box and I show you everything on how to do it in that blog article, in that video and in that free course and you've got more content like how to drop ship on Amazon without money the 10 best Amazon drop shipping courses free and paid the best drop shipping products to sell on your Amazon store and Amazon product research a good guide to finding trending niches check out Amazon I highly, highly recommended next is Etsy Etsy is a unique marketplace where artists usually sell their handcrafted handmade or arts and crafts and also craft supplies, tools and party favors those are the main categories that you can sell on Etsy that's what makes it a unique marketplace easy to get started it's another marketplace that has tons of buyers that are entering every day with an intent to purchase so again, these marketplaces are gonna get you free organic traffic just sell the right products and you will get customers to see your product and also purchase them it's also easy to spy on your competitors cause again, you just need to search for whatever product you wanna sell on Etsy in this case and see how well it's going for other sellers one of the things that I love about this as opposed to the other marketplaces or most other marketplaces is that this has no monthly subscription Etsy doesn't want any money from you on a monthly basis however, there is a 20% listing fee so every time you list a product, it'll cost 20 cents now there are also no monthly selling limits you can sell as many products as you want however, again, since every product every listing is gonna cost you 20 cents to list you're probably not gonna list 3,000 products in one day you're slowly gonna start to test different types of products that you can sell in the handmade categories and other categories that I'm also gonna show you in the content later but if you're selling the right products again, doing the right product research selling from the right categories on Etsy then you will slowly start to build your business because there's a lot of shoppers and there's a really low competition right now when dropshipping on Etsy because there's simply not a lot of dropshippers there I however, am of course one of those dropshippers here's one of my Etsy stores and you can see right here and I did start the store recently so only got about 2,500 views, 1,300 visits just about 27 orders, $730 revenue because again, I just got started with this Etsy is relatively new but I'm still experiencing good sales and I've only got 11 active listings that's not a lot it's actually not good at all to have such few listings and I wish I had more time but I'm sharing with you all of the strategies that I know in the content that I add inside that cheat sheet but again, as you can see right here I've got an order that I need to ship tomorrow I can open the orders page and see the rest of my orders the ones that were completed so I can scroll here and just see more products that I sold and of course I can go to the finances I can do some marketing but as you can see right here on some of the notifications that I got recently they lifted the payment account reserve that they put usually on new sellers especially when you don't update tracking information that's actually trackable on Etsy but in time, they're also going to lift that as they did for me right here because they see that I am a good seller and I'm getting good reviews and there's no problems with my transactions and I'm also making sell from offsite ads and more marketing methods that I'm going to talk about soon but again, one of the things that I love about Etsy is that it's one of the new kids on the block that you can start drop shipping on with minimal competition at least while I'm recording this video so take advantage of that we are now at the golden age at the golden years of drop shipping on Etsy some of the cons is that it's restricted only to specific niches and categories as I talked about so you can only sell inside the handcrafted, handmade or vintage items niche, arts and crafts and craft tools and supplies as well as party favors those are the only things that you can actually sell on Etsy and if you start to add products that are not related to that Etsy is slowly going to start taking down your listings and eventually also suspend your account so nobody wants that to happen that's why you need to learn how to sell on Etsy the right way and that is why I added these resources to the cheat sheet a free Etsy drop shipping course just like the other courses that I showed you how to start drop shipping on Etsy a full beginner's guide article with a video inside how to drop ship jewelry on Etsy and the top 20 Etsy drop shipping suppliers so Etsy again is more of a niche store whereas in other selling channels that I talked about you can decide whether you wanna open a general store or a niche store however my recommendation right from the start is to begin with general stores this way you can broadly test the market different categories, different products and see what starts to sell and once you start to pinpoint and cherry pick those winners you can consider making a niche store around that product so if you're wondering if you should start with a niche store or a general store that is your answer right there and I wanna quickly answer another question that many many people are asking what happens if I'm using let's say Timu or Amazon as my supplier and I ship out the product to someone who bought it on my eBay store for example they're gonna get it in Timu branding or in Amazon branding you know logos all over their packages so isn't the customer gonna be mad that they ordered from eBay and they got a package from Amazon the answer to this and everybody whoever tried drop streaming before can back me up on this one the customers do not care about the packages and where they came from all that matters to them is that they got exactly what they ordered in the right time frame that you showed on your product page once they get it they're gonna be happy that they got the product so put this question on the side do not worry about it start drop shipping and you'll see exactly what I mean so Etsy is another great selling channel to work with another is Facebook Facebook Marketplace and Facebook Shops let's go over the pros and cons really quick you can easily promote your products for free on Facebook Group so you don't have to spend a dime on marketing it's easy to get started anyone with a Facebook account has the marketplace and can start selling there however there are some cons to this that I'm gonna get to soon so you can get free organic traffic of course customers who are looking to buy things they click on the marketplace cause they're looking to buy something so then they can find your listing there is no monthly subscription no monthly fees and no selling limits these are the top pros the top advantages of selling on Facebook Marketplace Facebook wants you they're looking for e-commerce store owners they're looking for people who are looking to sell their products whether you're new or used and in order to get as many sellers as possible they need to bring down their fees now all of the marketplaces all of the selling channels that I talked about in this video they will charge you with transaction fees marketing fees with payment processor fees and Facebook will too only Facebook has the lowest one and they won't charge you anything before you actually start making sales and profit which I personally think is great especially for beginners who don't have much of a budget to begin with now some of the cons of dropshipping on Facebook Marketplace and take this into consideration you need to be a US citizen because you will have to provide SSN social security number for verification once you reach $500 in sales not only that everybody in the US because on Facebook Marketplace you can pretty much dropship only to the United States audience but if you want to be able to do that successfully you're gonna have to have the shipping options available when you're adding a listing to the Facebook Marketplace and in order for that to happen you have to be connecting through a US IP address in other words you need to live in the United States and you need to be a US citizen if you want to dropship successfully on Facebook Marketplace otherwise there are some ways to go around it but I'm not gonna go over that in this video so it's more difficult to build a brand on such Marketplaces and of course you're not collecting the customer's email addresses because Facebook is gonna keep that for themselves besides that it's a great great Marketplace to sell on especially if you meet the prerequisites that I wrote in the cons now you've got a lot of resources for Facebook Marketplace one again is a free course split by sections by lessons like I showed you in other courses everything again completely free how to start dropshiping on Facebook a full beginner's guide article and a video and we've also got a case study on Paul Lipsky a popular dropshiper YouTuber who made over $600 profit in one week dropshiping on Facebook from Amazon as well as more content like product research on Facebook how the fees work how to calculate your profits the best Facebook Marketplace categories and a full case study how I went from zero to 35 sales in one week full transparency I showed all the products that I sold how I sold them how I reached out to the customers how I marketed it and everything else so everything that you need to know about dropshiping on Facebook Marketplace is inside the resources below next we've got Wix and WooCommerce I put these two together because they kind of go hand in hand it's kind of like Shopify where you can create your own customizable website where there are no selling limits it's easy to build your brand you're collecting your customers' emails so it's really important for email marketing there are really no technical skills required even though it is more technical than other methods that I showed you and it has a themes and plug and store which is kind of like Shopify's app store and theme store so that you can create your own themes and add all kinds of plugins that can help you make your store look better and make more sales now the cons kind of similar to Shopify is that it requires a marketing budget because once you add products to your stores again, nobody knows that it exists just like Shopify you're gonna have to market your products either in freeways or paid methods to get people to know that your products and stores actually exist it has a more difficult learning curve than the other methods that I showed you it takes time to build a store and both of them require monthly subscriptions more information on that on the resources that I sent below how to start dropshipping from AliExpress to Wix the 10 best Wix dropshipping apps the top 15 Wix dropshipping suppliers how to start dropshipping on WooCommerce and WooCommerce versus Shopify if you're looking for that side-by-side comparison and by the way, these tutorials really give you a full walkthrough on how to create your stores from zero from scratch up until you have a store up and running that looks really good and selling profitable products all right, so now that we have an extended overview of the selling channels that we can sell on and we talked about suppliers and product research here's how everything can now come together so what are we gonna do with all of this information we've got the products we've got the suppliers we wanna work with we've got the selling channels that we wanna sell on how does it all come together so check it out this is exactly where AutoDS comes in now AutoDS is an all-in-one automation platform and this simply helps you connect between your products, suppliers and everything that goes in between for full automation including price and stock monitoring in other words, when the prices change in one of your suppliers' websites it'll also change automatically on your dropshipping store so that you don't really have to do anything about it when the supplier goes out of stock it'll also go out of stock on your store it also has automatic order fulfillment we haven't touched up on orders yet but we will soon so all of your orders can be fulfilled for you automatically whether it's using your buyer accounts or AutoDS's buyer accounts again, more information on all of that later and that also includes automatic tracking number updates as soon as tracking information is available it'll also be updated so that your customers can always know what's going on with their orders and all of this is happening automatically product sourcing which I touched up on earlier in this video an automatic product importer making it really easy to add products to your stores an AI title and description rewrite tool which I think is absolutely great especially now that we're entering the generation of artificial intelligence and here's an example of how that works so I've got this product right here this fluffy cloud for your bum so this is a memory foam mattress topper product and here next to the title or also next to the description I can click on optimize description with artificial intelligence and here I can have the title, the description or both the title and description being rewritten for me automatically because when we add these products from our suppliers to our stores usually the writing is not gonna be that good that professional and we still wanna have something different than what other people have and that's exactly what this tool is gonna offer us so we can simply click here on AI rewrite and it's going to rewrite the title and a description to make it more eye catching to make it more professional to make it more sellable for our buyers and this way we can really stand out from the competition so we've got the AI title and description rewrite tool and so much more including automatic price optimization like raising our prices on products that are selling well so that we can profit more decreasing the prices when they don't sell all up and down to a certain limit so that we will find that sweet spot in the middle and be able to make the most sales and the most amount of profit full inventory management with so many filters as we can see up here this is the products page so these are some of the products that I'm selling on my stores I can add a filter and I can easily filter it by the profits, the quantity, the item location the monitoring that I have the profit percentages by how many times the product sold and so many other filters so this way you can really analyze how well these products are selling and one of the things that I love here about the system is that you can see right here I can continue adding more stores so here I've got some eBay stores I've got an Amazon store I've got some Shopify stores some Facebook stores, Wix and WooCommerce all inside one AutoDS account I can have all of the products showing up here and I can see everything on the dashboard to see how the business is working and I can easily analyze the products by all of the filters that I have and all of these stores or selling channels in other words that we talked about earlier we can add all of the products from the suppliers that I mentioned tens of millions of products into these selling channels and sell them all with full automation and we also have of course the marketplace and the winning products hub which I already talked about so that's just some of what AutoDS can offer you as a full automation software for your dropshipping stores for your dropshipping suppliers with everything included inside including product research, the marketplace the private suppliers, the winning products hub automating your orders and so forth everything under one intuitive dashboard okay so once we connected our stores to AutoDS and it's very very simple just go to AutoDS and click on add store and click on the next store that you want to add and then you can start adding your products so choose the selling channel that you want from the selling channels that we talked about add that selling channel to your AutoDS account and the next step is to add products so you have your store connected then we're gonna start adding products and that's it you're gonna start selling so here's how simple it is to add products to AutoDS now again if you guys need a link to register to AutoDS you can either use the link inside the cheat sheet or just go to autoDS.com and register for your $1 trial now let's talk about adding products because we already went over product research we went over our suppliers we added our selling channel we went over selling channels we added it to AutoDS now we need to start adding products so how do we actually do that? so there's a few ways to add products to your stores I'm not gonna go to all of them now but you can easily just head over to autoDS.com slash suppliers see what supplies you can work with what supplies you can automate your business with this is gonna give you your first indication so let's say for example I'm gonna choose Timu okay so I'm just gonna go to Timu.com and I'm just gonna click on one of the products right here that I'd like to add to my store like let's say this cool looking trendy chest bag right here so I can just go to the product hover over the URL, copy it head over to autoDS, click on add products and here I can add a single product I can add multiple products I can do so many different things but let's keep it simple I'm gonna go with single product paste the URL right here it automatically chose Timu because it knows that that's a supplier then I'm just gonna publish it to my store right away or click on edit now quick so that I can do some product optimization before I actually add it to my store and that's just one way of adding products to your store another is simply by going to the marketplace and seeing what products we have from all of the suppliers that I mentioned from private suppliers, wholesale suppliers if you don't wanna work with one of these suppliers or if you wanna add more suppliers to your list you can simply go to the marketplace or the winning products hub choose a trending product from there and of course you can click on it to read more information on the product as I showed you before or you can simply hover over import draft from outside the page or from inside the page and add this product to your store so in just a few seconds this product is gonna be sold on the selected stores that I have so this one just took a couple of seconds let's go to the drafts and here it is right there now we can enter the product optimizer and I can optimize the title but again I'm going to use optimized title with AI for that it's just much, much better same goes for the description and the rest of the things got automated like the tags, the country location the variations all three of them got added as well as all of the product images and of course everything was added in just a couple of seconds in just the click of a button there are more ways of course to add products to your stores but again I don't wanna make this video longer than it has to be there's more info about that through autoDS.com just hover over our features or you can simply click on the automatic importer right here inside the cheat sheet so there's the manual way of adding products by just going to your selling channel and clicking on I wanna list a new product but of course this is gonna take a long time it's gonna consume a lot of time cause you need to copy and paste the title copy and paste the description you can use chatGBT to do your AI rewrite but again this is just gonna take more time cause you're doing everything manually download all the images from your supplier upload all the images to your selling channel item specifications and everything else so it's gonna take a lot of time especially when you wanna add multiple products you don't wanna spend all day doing that so that's why automation is king so we talked about the AI product title description generator so I'm not gonna go over it now now that you have products in your stores okay we went over product research we added trending products to our stores we added we connected with autoDS we added our selling channel to autoDS and we started adding products to our selling channel from the suppliers that we can automate our business with everything so far has been automated but now it's time to market our products and again it depends on what selling channel we're using we have different types of methods and I'm not gonna leave you alone here because marketing is super important so I broke down marketing to organic marketing by the way this is that printer tool that I talked about so you can see that it's also very trendy on TikTok I found this one seller who has lots of viral videos on this product that's one of the marketing methods that we can use let's go over that right now so we've got organic marketing methods that don't require any budget like recording and publishing product videos on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube shorts and reels just like we're seeing right up here so you can order the product to your house of course that's gonna set you back a few bucks however much the product costs but now you can shoot as many videos as you want on that product, upload it to TikTok, upload it to Instagram, upload it to YouTube shorts and watch the organic traffic start to roll in just make sure that inside your bio you have a link to your website and your product page so that they'll know where to go to purchase this product so this one requires no budget or at least a budget just to purchase the product and send it to your home you can of course create a blog page you can use email marketing if you want good ways to create blog pages I highly recommend watching our chat GPT video which shows you how you can do well many things for a drop screen business using chat GPT we have a link to it right here in the cheat sheet but it also shows you how you can write effective emails for email marketing and creating good blogs that will work well on Google so that you can get free organic traffic that way then we've got the paid marketing methods where a budget of course is required for example, 2014 is the year for artificial intelligence and we can also use that for our marketing efforts there are many tools that can help us one of my personal favorites are Hey Jen because you can actually start for free by creating product videos for your products you can use your own voice you can use artificial intelligence voice you can use whatever avatar you want and here for example, I can show you one of the quick ones that I created for a product that actually came with a template so you can choose your own text you can change whatever product you want inside the video and of course change the text around change the speaker write whatever text you want her to say or him to say and you have a timeline right here where you can completely edit the video and of course once you submit it you can actually watch it in action okay like this one right here I created it I didn't show the product but I created a quick video AI copy for an electric garlic matcher tool so I just entered the text right here and click on play and I just think that that's simply amazing again I'm not gonna get too much into it you can have AI create a video for your product if you don't wanna create one yourself or if you don't of course wanna use a video that you got from your supplier which usually isn't good enough and other dropshippers are already using that method then we've got pay-per-click ads and I've got a full ebook on how to run ads on Facebook we also have the same for TikTok everything is in our resources section on the AutoDS website but again this is absolutely for free just click on unlock your ebook write your name and your email address and that PDF will be yours to

pay-per-click ads so that you can show your ads in front of your audience today and start getting them to purchase those products you can run ads on Google Facebook Instagram Pinterest TikTok and YouTube those are the best places to run ads on today to actually get effective results and we've also got influencer marketing again I've got a link to it in the cheat sheet guys if you fast forwarded to the section of the video I have this cheat sheet up for grabs with all of the links all of the resources that I'm talking about just drop a comment below hashtag drops being 2024 let me know what you learned in this video what is your top takeaway and of course do proceed to like and subscribe to our channel if you appreciate the value I will send you this cheat sheet with everything inside so influencer marketing is another great way to get people to see your products so you're hiring influencers to create shout outs for your product and with this article in video on influencer marketing platforms that can hook you up with the right influencers that have an audience following or that's relevant to the product that you're selling this way you'll be able to narrow down to the right influencers to negotiate a price with them get them to create a shout out for your product maybe even send them the product have them do a quick review on it and they're gonna get you a lot of traffic to your stores this is the newer way of marketing it's newer than email marketing it's newer than pay-per-click ads it's as new as AI generated videos a little bit older but these are the top two new methods of marketing that's really making a killing today for other sellers now here are some of the marketing tools that we have that are selling channel specific marketing for example on eBay we've got also PPC ads that we can run I've got content on that on how to run effective pay-per-click ads for eBay, a video and an article so all the information that you need is right there and I showed you my campaigns that I ran and I showed you also the results my keywords, how many sales and so forth and how to start this from A to Z but of course, pay-per-click ads require a starting budget because you need to give a daily budget $5 per day, $10 per day so that your ads will start running and you may or may not get sales right from a start whereas in other methods like eBay promoted listing standard here, eBay will promote your products and you won't have to pay a dime for it until only after you make a sale from those products now there are more ways to market you can also create coupons, volume pricing and run sales events all of these methods do not cost you any money except for the advanced promoted listings which is pay-per-click so you can start with this start to make your sales and profit and once you start to make those profits invest it also into pay-per-click if you don't have the budget for it right from the start that's the right way to market on eBay next for Facebook Marketplace you can run Facebook Promotions and you can also promote your products in buy and sell groups that are relevant to your product of course, I've got the link right here to show you exactly how you can do those things TikTok, how to use TikTok marketing to promote your products so that you can create videos that look like this and other conventional methods that are working really well today on TikTok being the new social media kid on the block so again, a full blog article on how you can do that inside a cheat sheet for Etsy, you can run sales and discounts pay-per-click ads and also run off-site ads all of these methods work I showed you on my Etsy account on my Etsy store how I also got sales from off-site ads and for Amazon we've got sponsored ads or in other words, pay-per-click so Amazon also has that going on and additional marketing resources like marketing strategies without using Facebook or Instagram and upselling strategies for Shopify this again has all of the information that you need to market your products the right way no matter what selling channel you are using everything is covered here with the top newest and freshest methods for 2024 now after you marketed your products correctly it's inevitable now you're gonna finally start making your sales and this is where order automation comes in now of course you can do it the manual method so you get a sale, all right cool you go to your Autodesk account and you can just check out this screenshot right here or I'll actually show you what the real deal looks like so I'll just go to the order screen and here you can see your drop shipping orders now one way to do it is simply going to your suppliers websites you got the supplier links right here on their item ID it'll take you to that product page and all you have to do is check out on your suppliers website and ship it to your end customer you've got the buyers details also right here on Autodesk or you can just go to the selling channel if you're doing everything manually and process each and every order but once you make it to five orders per day 10 orders per day and so forth it's good news but if you haven't automated your business yet do it now because you do not want to spend all day processing orders you do not want to spend all day adding products and you do not want to spend all day on manual product research this is going to consume all of your time and you won't really be able to automate, grow and scale and if you want to make it to the big numbers you're going to have to start implementing these strategies so again there's the manual way to do it just go to your suppliers website purchase the product, ship it to your end customer or you can hook up with fulfilled by Autodesk or automatic orders automatic orders uses your buyer accounts and fulfilled by Autodesk uses Autodesk's buyer accounts but either way the orders are being processed as soon as they come in even while you're outside when you're not sitting in front of your computer while you're dreaming at night while you're traveling with your family or spending time with your loved ones everything is being automated for you in the background so as soon as an order comes in it'll get processed and sent out to your customer with automatic tracking number updates of course all of this information is being shared with you you can just click on automatic orders or fulfill by Autodesk and learn more about that all of the links of course are inside the cheat sheet but this is what it's going to look like you're going to get an order on your orders page and it's going to start off in pending status just like this one right here okay and from pending status if you have automatic orders it's going to get sent to auto-order automatically and then it'll be in the ordered status once it was ordered with the buy order ID from your supplier and once it's shipped it's going to switch to shipped status with the tracking number and with that shipping carrier once it's delivered it'll move over to delivered and that is pretty much all there is to it get order automation start automating your business and this is going to make everything a whole lot better allowing you to grow your dropshipping empire and not just getting stuck with a small store with no ability to scale guys from this point on you learned about product research you learned about dropshipping suppliers you learned about the best selling channels you learned about the best marketing methods we learned about how to automate our orders and so many more tips that I added in between while also showing my dropshipping stores from different selling channels as I mentioned I've been doing this for a long time now and I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon dropshipping is growing year by year and the best thing to do is to jump in now and take action get this cheat sheet again hashtag dropshipping2024 leave it

business whether they're at the beginning of their dropshipping business or if they're in the middle and struggling to make more sales and from here once you start making your sales provide great customer service to your buyers I believe that this is one of the main things that helped me sustain and continue building my businesses for over seven years now and these online assets are some of the best things that you can have because at the beginning it does require a lot of work but in time it's gonna start working for you passively and automatically especially once you've got automation in and then you can continue opening more stores and having a network of online assets working for you in the background provide excellent customer service so that you can get repeat customers to your store check your messages every day from your customers if there are any open returns or cases take care of them right away do not argue with your customers don't make them mad for choosing to purchase from you those return customers or the ones that refer their friends and their family to purchase from you are simply a goldmine and we want to reach as many customers as we can with that and with great customer service that's exactly what we're gonna get now there are many more things that I didn't talk about like the AutoDS wallet section that combines all of your finances in one place and what this does is it simply connects to your Payoneer account so that you can withdraw funds from Payoneer to the AutoDS balance and fulfill your orders from that so it makes it much easier so this way I get paid through Payoneer and I also pay my suppliers through Payoneer and this way all of my finances are being done from one place and of course you can connect multiple accounts like I've got $413 right here I can see all of my history log right here and I can open up the second one and you can connect again as many accounts as you want so I've got more money here more transactions here and more things happening and of course you've got the Academy which is absolutely free and in the Academy you have so much more information on top of everything that I added onto

Marketplace, general videos, technical for the platform on how to use AutoDS, product finding on the best products to sell, everything that you can watch from within the AutoDS system and again this is just some of the stuff that's waiting for you inside this great and wonderful automation platform How can thousands of young entrepreneurs go from zero to making millions of dollars online? Despite what you may think it's not because they're super smart or anything like that they all took advantage of a simple idea they built a business that does not rely on their time once it was built their business started making money for them and they continued scaling their success and as of 2024 Shopify dropshipping is the best business model that requires no upfront investment so in this video you're gonna learn everything there is to know on how to dropship profitably in 2024 so that you can make your first $10,000 selling online and scale it from there and if you're wondering why am I doing all this for free it's because I know that if you're gonna make money from this you're more likely to use AutoDS and the more money you make the more we make it's a win-win formula that simply works so let's start with the first step of making your first $10,000 finding a winning product to sell now product research is probably one of the most important parts when starting your dropshipping business and that's simply because if we're not selling the right product then well no one's gonna buy it and we're not gonna be making any sell so it won't really matter how much time and effort we put into building a really good looking store it's not gonna make any sales if we're not selling the right products so with tens of millions of products that we can resell how do we know exactly what products are actually going to sell here is everything I consider when finding my winning products first of all it needs to have some wow factor or solve a problem so either it's a problem solving product for example a neck massager solves the problem of feeling pain around your neck area or it needs to have a wow factor like some cool electronic walking dinosaur toy that you haven't seen before and that will also do the work the second criteria of finding a good dropshipping product to sell is to make sure that it's actually in demand and one of the ways to do that is to use Google Trends and I'm gonna open it using this link here you can also just type Google Trends on Google search but as you can see right here I created a cheat sheet for you that you can use with all of the tools and links that I'm going over in this video and soon I'll tell you what you need to do in order to get access to this cheat sheet but remember to stay until the end of this video so that you'll have a full explanation of how to take every step the right way after watching this video get access to this cheat sheet and start following it step by step after this video explanation so how do we check if a product is in demand using Google Trends we're simply going to search for that product now I'm gonna show you how to find these products but here's a quick example let's say you did some research and you found that cat caves are selling pretty well so you wanna see if there's any trend for this so I searched for cat cave and I'm gonna make it in the past five years and worldwide I wanna see if the world is interested in this product and here we can see that there is an upwards trend for cat cave so this is one of the ways to validate that it is a product that's actually in demand we also wanna make sure that the products sell for over $30 this is simply because really cheap price products have a harder competition and they're simply not gonna be so profitable because of their low price point next we wanna make sure that these products are ever green so we don't wanna start with seasonal products on our first stores with our first products for example if you know that Christmas is coming up or winter or summer is coming up you don't wanna base your store around that because after the season is over your store is going to stop selling now this doesn't mean that selling season products are not good it's actually very good to mix that in cause you're gonna get a huge spike of sales once that season starts however in the beginning we wanna make sure that we're making consistent sales all throughout the year and the way to do that is by selling evergreen products those that sell all year long and are not conditioned on certain seasons and we're also gonna be starting by creating a general store this means that we're not going to narrow down on one product or a specific niche so that we can broadly test the market see which products are selling and then start to narrow down on them now keep this in mind there is no such thing as product saturation product saturation only applies to the way a product is sold in other words you can sell the same product that other sellers are selling with a better marketing angle with a better way to advertise this product to your buyers and you will make those sales now I've got two examples to show this to you inside the cheat sheet here we've got a link to two Facebook ads advertising the same product so here's the first ad copy for this retractable car charger product here is the second ad copy and as we can see the first one got 5,500 engagements about 600 comments, 1,800 shares so pretty popular it went pretty viral but the second ad copy got 23,000 engagements 1.7k comments and almost 3,000 shares so this one worked a lot better let's try to see and understand why that happened because they both have a different marketing angle for this video here is the first one let's click play so I can see someone putting it in their car taking out the cable then I see other cables that they're grabbing then I see them unboxing the product and then connecting it to the phone so I had a whole bunch of information thrown in my face the structure wasn't really well if I move over to the second ad copy let's start this one from the beginning so we can see the product we can see the cable being pulled out and then back in again so that simply shows the product in action we don't see any unboxing we don't see the normal cables that the person had we simply see the product in action exactly what it does and this of course is a problem solving product the problem here is having cables all around your car and of course that is not convenient it's not practical and this product solves that problem by simply having the cable inside the product and that is simply what it does cable organization inside your car we all have cables in our cars and we do not like to see the wire sticking out everywhere so this video here is the winner this is the one that the audience resonated with because it simply wasn't as messy as this one that got only 5,500 likes which is still successful this seller still made sales but this does come to show you that a better marketing angle will attract your audiences more but you can still sell the same products as other sellers and saturation will not exist unless your ad copy is exactly the same as others and you're not coming with a better angle so those are the important things that you wanna keep in mind and here are my favorite product research methods in 2024 starting with the AutoDS winning products hub so if you're an AutoDS member you can get access to this winning products hub and if you're not a member you can either sign up it's the best $1 investment trial that you're ever going to spend and if not, just stay with me cause I'm gonna show you some other methods soon but let me show you exactly how this works so here on AutoDS on the left side I'm gonna click on winning products and here I can see a whole bunch of products that are trending right now that are selling really well for other sellers for example, let's click on this cat toy ball right here and once I click on it I'll get more information inside including what other variations we can sell here where it's being shipped from you've got the shipping time here in which don't worry we also source your products and we find faster suppliers with cheaper prices using our product sourcing feature and we can see here that it's being sold for $31 it's being sourced for around $5 or $6 leaving you the seller with a potential profit of $25 per order and here we can see an example of the ad copy that another seller is using to sell this product here we can see their website and audience targeting tips so that you can target the right audiences when you're gonna market these products so this winning products hub is giving away all of these trending products that are selling really well right now let's take a look at another example check out this inflatable air travel pillow right here so again I'm gonna click on it I'm gonna get more product information for example, this one is gonna leave you with a profit of about $40 per order and we can see the sellers ad copy right here or TikTok posts in this case you can see that he got almost 50,000 likes just for this TikTok post and here we can see again the seller's website you also have a link to their website so you can click on the link, go to their website and see how they're advertising this product and the best part out of all of this is that you can easily add these products to your stores by simply clicking on this import draft button right here it's that easy to find winning products add them to your stores and start selling them in seconds I'm gonna show you how to do all of that soon including how to create your store and everything else but let's continue with the product research methods the second is the TikTok ad spy so just like how we have winning products in auto TS we also have the TikTok ad spy and here we can spy on other TikTok posts other TikTok videos, other TikTok ads that are trending for other sellers right now let's take a look inside the system and see what it looks like so this is the TikTok ad spy and here I can filter things like I wanna see posts that got over 20,000 likes and that have a call to action button of let's say shop now because I only want the posts that are actually trying to sell a product and here as I scroll through I can see a bunch of trending videos with winning products that people are selling on their stores right now and I'm getting more information on the screen for example, how much likes they have the comments, the shares and the texts that they used in this copy here I can click on shop now on their call to action to get more post information including their interactions, the interaction rate when the ad was first and last seen the video duration, the country and so forth I can also click on see original posts to actually see this post on TikTok but this is another way of finding trending products to sell so from here you're getting the ad copy you're getting the seller's website and the only thing that you'll need to do is find the supplier who's selling these products all of which I will get to soon but if you're using the winning products hub you can simply import it to your store we're already gonna connect you with a supplier and it's gonna make your job much easier but TikTok ad spy is another way of finding trending products to sell next is using the Aliexpress drop shipping center many beginner drop shippers like to use Aliexpress as their go-to supplier when starting their businesses and while it's not a really bad idea Aliexpress does have some really long shipping times and today customers do not wanna wait more than a week to get their products that's gonna be really difficult with Aliexpress so you can use them for getting trending product ideas I'm gonna get to all of that in this video but here is the new and improved Aliexpress drop shipping center we can find products to sell and we can also do a product analysis to see how well a certain product is selling and here as I scroll through I've got some recommended products I've got some winning products and I can go to a specific category for example I can click on jewelry and accessories and see what types of jewelry is trending right now we can see the number of times the units have been sold the reviews that they got and so forth now we've also got a full blog article on how you can take advantage of the Aliexpress drop shipping center of course which will be linked inside the cheat sheet so this is a good free product research method to use my next favorite method of finding winning products to sell is simply by going to my suppliers websites and checking out what's trending on their platform so it's similar to Aliexpress drop shipping center only here you're just entering product categories and see what's selling well for example you can start with Amazon's best sellers page only here you do need to understand what products you can sell and what products you cannot resell however we are just going to use it as a place to get resources, insights, information on what products are selling well I also like their movers and shakers which shows you the biggest gainers in the last 24 hours so this shows you products that are trending right now for example this trail camera here looks pretty cool but that doesn't mean that I'm going to sell this product and it's actually going to make me sells so I can search for trail cameras on Amazon and see how the whole category, the whole niche is actually selling and one of the things that I like is that Amazon recently added this thing where you can see how many times a unit was sold in the last month so here we can see that this trail camera sold over 1,000 units in the last month so as this one over here this one here sold over 4,000 units in the last month this one over 1,000, 1,500 and so forth so with all of these people buying trail cameras in the last month I can definitely get the idea here that there is a high trend for this winning niche right here so that is another product research method that I love to use to find winning products to sell the next is simply by searching social media platforms for popular hashtags and trends for example, you can go to TikTok and search for hashtags like gadgets, Amazon finds and TikTok made me buy it let's see a quick example so let's go to TikTok and search for hashtag gadgets and here I can see a whole bunch of gadgets that people are trying to sell like this one right here it's the same product with even the same exact video sold by two different people and you can see that this one got 3.3 million views this one got 2.1 million views so something is pretty interesting about this product not even sure exactly what it is but as long as people are looking to buy it I'm definitely in the market to sell and here we can see other products more and more products and if we click on one of these products we can go to the link inside the bio to get to the seller's website and see exactly what their website looks like and how they're selling it so here for example I clicked on this product that got over 2 million views and you can see that this person knows what they're doing they got another video here with 17 million views 520,000 and so forth and here I've got their website so it's asiangadget.com and again I can enter that to see exactly what they are selling and as you can see they are dropshipping a whole bunch of different products right here so this is a general store for all types of gadgets here we've got a heating mouse pad a portable 2-in-1 pillow blanket car motorcycle wheel reflector stickers toilet seats faucet adapters and so forth so this is a good example of a dropshipper that knows what to do what products to sell and they're doing a good job on TikTok posting organic videos to get free traffic to their stores and make sales with minimum marketing effort another method of finding winning products is simply by using AI tools like chatgbt I've got a link to a video that will show you how to do that by simply knowing what prompts to use what commands to run to get insights on what products are trending right now so after you did all of this product research and you found some winning products that you want to sell on your stores remember that we're all here to sell for a profit making a sell is nice but we actually want a profit doing so and in order to do that we need to price our products at least 2.5 to 3 times the source price this is the only way that we can actually make a good profit on these orders and that is what the dropshipping business model will allow us to do so sell at 2.5 to 3 times the source price or at least a $20 minimum margin now before I move on to the next section I've also included a product research dropshipping spreadsheet that will help you narrow down your winning products so once you start doing your product research add all of the products that you're finding to this spreadsheet for example the products title the source link where you found it from and then answer these questions like are you even passionate about this product? do you understand it? do you like it? is it hard to find in stores? is it hard to guess the price? is it safe to sell? does it solve a problem or have a wow factor? does it sell for over $30 and so forth? if you answer yes to all of these questions and in other products you answered no go to the ones where you answered yes to all of them those will have a much higher chance to sell on your stores and that way you can narrow down 50 products to 20 or to 15 and start selling on your online store with narrowed down proven winning products that passed your product research validation that these products are going to sell well on our stores now remember that the best part about this is that we can keep testing products that's what I love about the dropshipping business model we can sell products on our online stores without holding any stock without putting any money into inventory once a product sells we'll forward the details to our supplier who will then ship the product directly to the end customer we don't have any physical contact with the product and now I'm going to build my Shopify store so that you can learn how to do it and show you how to market these products so that you can actually build your store and make your first few sales right after watching this video now if you want access to this Shopify dropshipping cheat sheet with everything that I'm going over and more than I'm gonna also throw it into this video just comment hashtag Shopify 2024 let me know in the comments below what was your top takeaway from this video what did you learn and I will send you the link to this cheat sheet now let's move on to the second step after we're done with product research now it's actually time to create our Shopify stores so I use the Autodesk winning products hub to find this winning product right here this wireless thermal printer now don't be afraid by the high ticket price $350 you don't need to start with high ticket prices as I mentioned any product that will be sold for over $30 is fine but I'm gonna start with a high ticket cause this one is super profitable let me show you the stats so this wireless thermal printer has a wow factor and it also comes to solve a problem first of all, wow I can get a thermal printer that can actually print tattoos of course temporary tattoos that I can actually use or sell to other people and second it's a problem solving product because now I don't need to go to the store to buy temporary tattoos that come in designs that were already generated for me here I can generate my own ideas, my own designs and turn them into tattoos so this website is for tattoo supplies that's the main niche so he's got all kinds of tattoo supplies medical supplies, piercing supplies and so forth that is what this seller is going for and as we can see he's selling this wireless printer for $350 I can scroll through the product page we can see this whole black and white theme didn't put too much work into the product page and that is fine you don't really need to just make sure that everything is in the right place and everything has a simple clean look so this is the product that I'm gonna go for I can see that he's sourcing this product for just $134.36 on AliExpress and that is the same exact wireless tattoo printer and here I'm going to do a better job than this seller that is how we're going to differentiate ourselves from the competition and have a higher chance of selling these products and make more profit than what these sellers are already making and here is how we're gonna do it so if he's buying it for $134 and selling it for $350 let's see how much profit potential that leaves this seller so $350 minus $135 I'm just gonna round it up to there that's $215 profit per order now that doesn't include selling channel fees like when you're selling on Shopify your fees are gonna be around 12%, maybe 15% depending on where you're selling from and where you're selling to but even if you take that into consideration that's a lot of profit to make but how do you know exactly how many units this seller is selling every month? One indication is by checking out their ad copy so of course you've got this information on the AutoDS winning products hub but I wanna show it to you face to face so you can see the ad copy right here it got over 9,300 likes, 2,800 comments, 2,800 shares with a pretty simple ad copy so you can see the video of the tattoo being placed on someone's arm and you can see how the wireless tattoo printer works so you choose the design from your mobile phone and the wireless printer will print that design the ad copy here is pretty simple you can do a much better job but this one says thermal printer also works for printing stencil tattoo worth it now here is where I would use chat GPT to create a much better ad copy for this product even though we're not in the marketing section yet I can still copy the title of this product and ask chat GPT create an engaging ad copy for this product, paste the product's title and here we can get a much better copy to use for this product now in this case chat GPT made it pretty long so of course I can tell them to make it shorter for a Facebook ad copy but this line right here unleash your creativity with the ultimate portable thermal tattoo printer will already do a much better job and will look much better than what the seller did here and you really don't need all of these hashtags into your ad copy it's not really gonna get you much results so there is always something that you can learn on how you can do a better job but like I mentioned if you're selling the right product that's in demand that shows the product in action that shows what problem it helps you solve or has a wow factor it's still going to be successful and that is more than enough to get started so out of over 9,000 likes almost 3,000 comments and so many shares you can be sure that a lot of people are clicking on the ad copy to get to the seller's website which looks again like this then I can use extensions like similar web to understand exactly how much traffic this seller is bringing in every month to his store so we can see right here that the visits are increasing every month so this seller is able to put in the work and get the results and we can see the monthly visits right here about 11.9K so let's round that up to 12,000 and we can also see where most of the traffic is coming from so what are the top five countries that are visiting this website as well as the traffic sources so what's actually bringing traffic to this website and we can see here that 50% is coming from searches so someone is searching on Google for something and they will find this website you can do that if you have a blog page I'm going to go over that soon and you can also see referrals so this can be another person sending a referral to this website or from the ad copy and others so we have things referring to this website and that's bringing half of the traffic so anyway out of 12,000 monthly visits we know that the industry average of sales conversion rates is about 2.5% of your visits so if this website is making 12,000 or let's keep it exactly at the number 11,900 visits per month so 2.5% out of that is 298 so let's round that up to 300 300 sales per month and we know that the seller is making what was the number 350 minus 135 is about $115 so $350 minus 134 is about $215 so $215 times 300 sales per month equals a total profit of $64,000 in profit after one month of selling this successful product that is a lot of profit to make off of just one product and you can be sure that this seller is making that much by the amount of visits that he's getting and a 2.5 sales conversion rate which again is the industry average this is what people are making especially when their products are going viral they're making these sales and that is the profit that they're making and that is a perfect example of what I've been doing in the last seven years and what I want you to do after watching this video so we found our winning product now let's go ahead and create our Shopify store around that the first thing that we wanna do is well sign up for Shopify so if you do not have an account yet use this sign up link inside the Shopify cheat sheet so that you'll get your free Shopify trial and the reason that we wanna start with a free trial is so that we can have time to build our stores before we'll have to pay any money Shopify and after the free trial we're also gonna get three months for just $1 so that's gonna give us plenty of time to get our stores ready before we start making sales and before we have any expenses so again, use the sign up link inside the cheat sheet you'll land on a page that looks like this and here as you can see you'll get Shopify for three days with no credit card required after that just three months for $1 that's the best deal Shopify has had in a while and you'll only get it by using this link now it is an affiliate link that we have with them but it will give you the upper advantage of being able to have enough time to build your store before launching your product so we're just going to enter our email addresses right here start our free trial then in the next screen we're gonna get a series of questions we can go ahead and click on skip all cause we can get to all of that later choose your country where you're located click on next and that is pretty much all there is to it in a couple of minutes Shopify is going to create your account and get you to your Shopify dashboard and here is our Shopify dashboard congratulations you've registered your first store and you're already ahead of 99% of the people who ever dreamed of having their own online business so now we started our three day trial and we can turn that into the next plan for three months at just $1 a month by choosing our plan right now but you can go ahead and do that now if you wish to do so so I'm gonna run through this really quick and now that I filled in all the information I can see that I'm gonna get three months for a dollar plus my three free days I'm gonna click on subscribe and that's pretty much all there is to it so back to the dashboard the first option that we'll have is to customize our theme but we don't need to do that just yet the first thing that we wanna do after registering our store is changing our store currency to USD so depending on where you're selling from you're gonna have a different store currency so what I'm gonna do is click on settings here on the left menu at the bottom and I've got my store currency right here I'm gonna change that to US dollars then I'm gonna click on save the next step is to purchase a domain now you can do this through Shopify and it's better to do it this way because then the connection will be seamless and automatic now if you're not sure exactly what to name your website yet you can skip this step and come back to it later but getting a domain is pretty simple we're gonna click on domains right here now right now we've got this temporary store name 012.myshopify.com but of course we're gonna wanna have our own domain name so www.mystorename.com so we're gonna choose buy new domain and in order to come up with a good name for our business we can use free tools like this business name generator so here for example we can give it a simple idea of what type of store we wanna create so since I know it's gonna be a general store I just wanna have like a good general name best deals or best deals online then we're gonna click on generate business name now it's gonna give me a whole bunch of names that I can use for my business not only that it's also gonna do a domain name look up for me so I can see exactly what types of names I can actually connect to domains and connect that to Shopify so here for example I can see dapper deals fabulous finds, trendy threads, fashion frenzy elegant elegance and all of these types of business names now I can click on one of them like for example let's go with dashing discounts and here I can see that I've got domains like dashingdiscounts.co.store.io.com is not available here but I can make an offer but we're not going to do that and as I scroll down I can also get some nice logo ideas that I can have with these names now I can create these logos I'm not gonna use this tool because it costs money I will show you guys how you can create free logos for your websites and that is why I like to use free tools like business name generator to get a nice name for our stores so let's take a look at another example like this one right here stunningsell.com so that's a pretty cool name and I do have the dot com here you see how it says register so here I can go to Shopify and write stunningsell or stunningsells sells is not available maybe just sell is available so we can see that stunningsell.com is available for $15 a year so what we're gonna do is we're gonna click on buy domain and that's pretty much all there is to it we're gonna click on buy domain here and our website will be connected to stunningsell.com and that's pretty much all there is to it I've successfully registered my domain after I got help from business name generator to find a nice name for my store and now it's connected to my Shopify website now Shopify has asked me to verify my email which I already did so in a few minutes we shouldn't see this message anymore and as we can see right here stunningsell.com right now is in pending so it's going to be activated soon and we can see right here that under my store I have stunningsell.com so my domain has been successfully registered as we can see right here at a custom domain and the next step before we add our winning product is to connect our Shopify stores to AutoDS using the AutoDS
