I'm really glad to have you guys with us. And by watching this video, you're already taking your first step into your own success story. So, without further ado, let's begin this course. In this lesson, I'm going to be talking about dropshipping. That is the business model that we will be working with, not to be confused with e-commerce, which is your online store. Shipping is the business model. For those who don't know, dropshipping means that you're selling products without actually holding their inventory. Your supplier, the one you're sourcing from, is the one with the inventory, and every time you get an order on your store, you're simply buying the product from your supplier and you're shipping it straight to the customer. Therefore, you're not paying for the inventory. It's all on the supplier. All you have to do is put the product on your store and market it to your customers. This picture over here shows you a little example of how dropshipping works. So the first step is to have a customer buy a product from your store. Once he purchases the product from your store and you received your payment, it is your responsibility as the seller to log into your supplier's site and buy the product from the supplier and ship it directly to the customer. Once that happens, your customer will receive his package in a timely and professional manner. He will be totally happy about it and you will earn another satisfied customer, which is very crucial to the long-term survivability and success of your online business. Let me simplify for you in just five easy steps. Find the winning product to sell, create your online store, market your products, the customer buys from your store, you buy the product directly to the customer. That is the dropshipping business model. But is it still profitable in 2021? The answer is yes, it's been super profitable since year one and each year it's only getting better and bigger. Don't listen to online gurus who are telling you that you can get rich in a day, in a week or in a month. That is not how dropshipping works. You're building your own steady income from zero. It is a real business and therefore it needs to be treated that way. Learning to cope with and overcome obstacles will lead the way to your success. So now that you have a basic understanding of the dropshipping business model and what it means, let's move on to the next lesson and it's an interesting one. How to find the best, most trending and most profitable dropshipping products that will sell. See you in the next lesson. In the previous lesson, we talked about the dropshipping business model, which is the business model that we will be working with. In this lesson, we will be talking about product research. Product research is one of the most, if not the most important part of running your online business. And that is because if you don't get your product research done correctly and if you don't work hard enough on it and really know how to find the products that will sell for you, then it doesn't matter how neat your site looks. It doesn't matter how much time and effort you put into it and it won't matter how much budget you put into your marketing. Everything will work and everything will fail if you don't get the product research done correctly. That is exactly what we're going to be talking about in these lessons. We're going to start with the first lesson in product research, the six criteria for finding a good product to sell. By the way, you guys don't need to write anything down, I got you all covered. The first criteria that you need to know in order to be able to conduct product research is that the product needs to be hard to find in stores. For example, check out this product. This is a toothbrush sanitizer, UV toothbrush holder and a toothpaste dispenser. It sanitizes your toothbrushes. This is what people are looking for, especially this year with the pandemic that we have going on. Now let's check if this is a hard to find product at local shops that people usually have near their homes. For example, let's take a look at Costco. As you can see, Costco has no idea what this product is when searching for UV toothbrush holder. Same thing in Home Depot. Home Depot has no idea what this product is, but we can see that it is available and even trending through other suppliers. So that's the first criteria that the product needs to be hard to find in stores. Now the second criteria of finding a good product to sell is that it should be hard for customers to guess the price of this item. For example, that UV toothbrush sanitizer. It's not a product that people usually buy. I'm sure that you've never had such a product before. So it's hard to guess the price of a product that you've never bought before in your life. You can guess around how much you'd want to spend for such a product. For example, I wouldn't spend $100 or $150 on this product, but if it costs $30 or $40 or maybe even $50, sure, why not? It's for the health of my teeth and it's worth that much money. So with the second criteria being that it's hard to guess the product's price, you can actually make great profit on such products. You can price them up to three times their worth and even more. It really depends on the situation, but that's why the second criteria is that it needs to be hard for the customer to guess the price of this product. The third criteria that you need to keep in mind when doing your product research is that the product needs to solve a problem and make your customers life easier. For example, that UV sanitizer toothbrush holder that we saw solves a few problems. It cleans and sanitizes the toothbrushes. It holds and dispenses the toothpaste. It organizes the toothbrushes in an orderly fashion. And it takes care of your personal hygiene. So there's a few problems that this product solves and it's hard to find in stores and it's hard to guess the price. These are the criteria that we're looking for in a winning product. The fourth criteria is that your drop shipping suppliers need to have fast shipping and delivery times. Customers do not want to wait more than one week to get their orders. That is why I don't recommend to work with Chinese suppliers. Many people do it and it's fine. It is not a wrong method. Do not get me wrong here. But if you want a higher quality store, higher quality products and satisfied customers, you need to work with American suppliers with fast shipping times. We're going to get to the suppliers soon, but keep this in mind for the fourth criteria that you need to work with suppliers, drop shipping suppliers with super fast shipping times, super fast delivery times and good customer support when it comes to returns. Now this brings us to the fifth criteria that you need to know before starting your product research. And this one is talking about the fact that your customers need to be able to buy the product impulsively without doing much product research before. For example, if you're selling something that has different weights and dimensions, then there's a good chance that the customer will need to go and do some research before buying from your store to see if it's the right size, the right measurement and so forth. And you might lose them because they may never come back to your shop. This doesn't mean that you can't sell products that have different sizes and dimensions, but do keep in mind that it will make them log out of your store, see if it's what they need and maybe come back a day later after talking with their wife or friend or relative if they would even remember to do so. You want to look for impulse buyers who will simply buy the product as soon as they see it in your shop. Do not give them a reason to get out of your site and maybe come back later. So that's the fifth criteria that the customers need to buy the product impulsively and not get out of your site and start doing some research and maybe come back later. The sixth and final criteria before starting your product research is that the products that you are adding to your stores should not cost more than $30. And there's a reason for this. Yes, you can drop ship products that cost $100, $150, $400 and even $1,000. There's no problem with that. But if you want to have a much higher chance of making sales and profits, especially in the beginning of your journey, do not go for expensive products because you're going to have to work much harder to convince the customers to buy this product from your shop. And when your items are cheaper, when they cost you up to $30, then you can sell them for $60 or even $100, make some good profit along the way and have a much higher chance of selling. Start with cheaper products up to $30 and this is the sixth criteria that I have for you guys. Now, before we move on to the next steps of conducting product research, you need to know the difference between a general store, a niche store and a one product store. And which store should you have? As a beginner, it is much better to start with a niche store and that is because when you have a niche store, you can start narrowing it down once you have a winning product. You can start narrowing down your niche and seeing exactly what's going to go well for you. And when you have a niche store, it simply looks much better than a general store, which just has a whole bunch of randomized products which have nothing to do with one another. So it looks unorganized and unprofessional. And as for one product stores, this can also be a good idea, but only once you have vast experience in the dropshipping industry, in the dropshipping world and you know exactly which product you need to sell and which product is going to sell well. One product stores are really challenging because you only have one product and you're relying on that. So do not start with one product stores if you haven't dropped shipped yet. Start with a niche store, which you will be able to brand professionally and slowly you can start narrowing down the winning niche. For example, if you're going for the pet niche, you're not going to sell a dog color and only dog colors in different sizes and colors. You want to sell a whole bunch of pet accessories and start to slowly notice which ones are selling well and which ones aren't and then start narrowing down your products from there. So start with a niche store and I will show you exactly how you can do that and how you can narrow it down to winning products. Remember how I told you guys that you don't need to write anything down because I got you guys covered? Well if you look now in the resources center of this course, you will see a spreadsheet called product research dropshipping spreadsheet. Download it now, save it onto your computer and I'll talk to you about it very, very soon. Now let's move on to the next lesson, how to spy unsuccessful dropshipping stores. There you will learn exactly which stores are selling well, which ones of them are using the dropshipping business model so that you can learn exactly which items stores are going well and start your product research from there. See you in the next lesson. In the previous lesson, we went over the six criteria that you need to know before starting your product research. In this lesson, you are going to learn exactly how you can find and spy unsuccessful Shopify dropshipping stores and the reason that you want to spy on other people's successful stores is because it will give you an idea of how successful stores are supposed to look like, but more importantly, you will be able to know exactly which products inside those stores are selling and this is a secret method. Nobody is talking about this, but we are more than happy to share this valuable information with you. So let's get on with it, shall we? The first method to be able to successfully spy on other people's Shopify dropshipping stores is by using an extension called my ad finder. Now let me show you guys exactly what it is and how it works. First, open up your Google Chrome and search for my ad finder. Once you'll find it, simply click on add to Chrome. And once you add it to your Chrome, what this does is it'll simply take all of your Facebook feed and it'll turn it into ads. So all you'll see in your Facebook feeds are ads, ads, ads and more ads. And what you'll be able to do with this is spot the dropshippers ads, go inside their site and see what they are selling. This won't help you to find out what they're selling, but it'll easily help you find ads to see what people are selling. And you will be able to differentiate the ads that don't work well to the ones that are performing well. So let's take a look at this extension and see how it works. Here's my Facebook account with the extension on. And the first product that I'm seeing is that toothbrush sterilizer that I was talking to you guys about. By the way, I didn't get to it through this ad, but because I went inside that website, Facebook started targeting me, other people who are running ads for this product because they saw that I'm probably interested in it. This is one way of how Facebook ads works. So here is one product. You can tell that it's a dropshipping product because I showed you guys. But if you just click on the link, here's the product. You have all kinds of accessories that go with it. So it looks good. You can tell that this is a niche store. He's going only for hygiene products, toothbrush products and so forth. So everything here makes sense. But that's just one example. If we just scroll down, we will see more ads. More ads, more ads and only ads. So here are some bed sheets. And if we continue scrolling down, by the way, this is also a dropshipping website, if I click on it, you'll be taken to the website. This niche is obviously for the bedroom. It's all about bed sheets, expensive ones at that. These are high ticket items. So that's another website. Keep scrolling down on Facebook. Here is some crazy cap bottle. It's a water bottle that probably has some extra features inside. And if you continue scrolling down, you'll keep getting more and more ads. Most of them will be dropshippers ads. This is not a dropshipping website, but let's scroll down a little bit more. And here's another dropshipping product. It's very easy to spot them out. It's usually an ad that's trying to sell a certain type of product. I personally saw this one. This is another high ticket item. Let's just go to the website. I'll just show you guys really quick. Okay, so here's the product page that we got to using that Facebook ad. He's selling this product for $199. For those of you who are curious, he's sourcing this product for only $130. This means that he's making a whopping 35% profit margin, which is the minimum that you should make when you're dropshipping on Shopify. But making $65 per sale is a very good thing, but we're not talking about sourcing yet and profit margins and all of that. We're going to get to that soon. So that's the first method of how to spy unsuccessful Shopify dropshipping stores. Now, the second method that I want to teach you guys is a website called myip.ms. Let me show you guys. Here's the website. The first thing that we're going to do is click on websites and then World Websites Database. Once you click on that, you'll be able to create a search term for the niche that you are interested in. So if there is any niche that you have a certain passion for, I suggest that you search it in the search field over here. For example, I love pets. So let's go with the pets niche. We're going to search any website that has the words pets in it. And in the IP owner hosting field, scroll down until you get to Shopify Inc. Choose that and that's it. Create your search. Okay, so here is the search result on myip.ms for pets. Now what it does is it usually sorts it by World Site Popular Rating. So the first, the best rating is always going to be shown first. So what I'm going to do now is I'm just going to scroll to about the second or third page because there's a higher probability of finding the dropshipping websites on those pages. So here we are on the third page. Let's go into this sec pet supply. Just taking three random sites from the third page. Subscribe to our newsletter. It's probably a dropshipping website. Let's see. Shop now. And these totally look like dropshipping items. I can tell you 100% that this is a dropshipping website. Okay, here's the second site, Animal Pet Store. And it looks like another dropshipping website. It should be pretty obvious, but let me just show you guys. Yeah, so this is a random niche store. He's not going for anything specific. I doubt he's making too many sales, but I don't want to make any assumptions. Soon I'm going to show you guys a tool where you'll be able to see exactly which items are selling inside the Shopify websites. And if these are even Shopify websites, so bear with me just a little bit more. This is going to get a lot more interesting with tools that nobody ever showed you guys before. By the way, all of these tools are completely free because I want you guys to succeed on a budget. So here's another website, peticonic.com that I got through my IP.ms. And I can easily see that this is a dropshipping website. I know these products, I've seen them around in all of the dropshipping suppliers that I'm working with. So using my IP.ms is the second method to successfully find Shopify dropshipping websites. Now the third method that I want to talk about, it's a less recommended one. I'm not going to demonstrate it.  For example, search on Facebook, buy now, shop now, get yours now. These are usually sentences that people are using inside of their ads. And when you search Facebook manually for ads, you'll be able to find some in the video section. Now, the fourth method that I want to talk about, and this is a really important one, this one has a lot of secrets inside and it's going to answer a lot of questions that many people have always been asking and nobody gave this answer. So there is this extension called the Koala Inspector. It's a Chrome extension. Let me show you guys. This right here is the Koala Inspector. It will help you inspect Shopify shops by seeing exactly which shops are Shopify shops, what apps they're using, other Shopify websites that are selling similar products to the one that you're on now, and you'll be able to also see which products are selling inside of those stores, which we will go over in the next lesson. But before we talk about those hot selling products, let's check out this extension and how it helps spy on other people's drop shipping stores. So once you add this extension to your Chrome, all you have to do is obviously install it and then go inside any Shopify websites using the tools that I gave you guys before. So using those tools, we got to these sites and let's see exactly how the Koala Inspector can help us here. So I'm on that website with a toothbrush, sterilizer case, UV light. All you have to do is click on that Koala Inspector icon on top. And as you can see, it dropped down this little menu and here is where the magic is. So in the structure, you can see exactly which Shopify apps this app is using. We're not going to talk too much about apps. It's very important, but it's not for this lesson. You can see new products that this store added to a site recently. You can check out the best sellers, which I'm going to talk about in the next lesson. Look for this one. As you can see, this site is not selling, but that's not important. We're just using this as an example. If you click on find retailers, it'll show you other websites that are selling the same products as this site. As you can see, it's telling me to go to a specific product page for the comparison. So if I just click on that toothbrush holder, now that I'm in the product page, I'm simply going to click on that extension again. So here we go, Koala Inspector, find retailers. And here you can see other websites that are selling this product. You can see it on eBay and you can see it on Walmart. So this product, not a lot of people are selling it. I don't know if it's a good product to sell yet. I don't know if it's a trending product. All I know is that this website is not selling it and there's not a lot of people selling it. If we do see that there's potential in this product, we will go for it. But once again, that's for later on. So here is another tool to see which other Shopify websites are selling this product. But since this guy is not successful in selling, we're not going to focus on him. Let's move on to the next site that we saw. So here is the Duvay bedsheets. Let's click on the Koala Inspector and see what's going on with this site. Here are the apps, new products that he added to the site. As you can see, everything is high ticket. It's very, very profitable, best sellers. So this guy is actually able to sell his products and he's probably making some good profit along the way. Let's see the third example. This articure site, open Koala Inspector, let's already go inside one of the products so that we'll be able to see other Shopify sites that are selling the same products as this guy. Open up the Koala Inspector, check out best sellers, even though it's not important for this lesson, but I know it's interesting for you guys. So this guy is able to sell. Here is the product which we actually just saw a Facebook ad on it. And this is probably a trending product, but since it's a high ticket and we're not starting with expensive products yet, we're going to put that one on the side. But once again, we want to find other retailers. And here is the example that I wanted to show you guys. Here you can see other Shopify websites that are selling the same products as this guy. So as you can see, I also had to do some research too to get to it. It's probably not going to show up on the first side, but the more you guys research, the more work you guys put in, the more success you're going to start to find. And now you're going to get your first assignment before moving on to the next lesson in this course. And in this assignment, what you're going to have to do is to find 10 Shopify drop shipping websites that are related to the niche that you want to go for, bookmark those 10 sites and save them because we're going to use them for the next lessons to come. By the way, if you don't know which niche you're going to go for yet, it's perfectly fine. Just use the Facebook ads to see which ads are going well, which product inside those ads are going well, and start bookmarking those sites, 10 Shopify drop shipping websites that are related to your niche, bookmark them, see you on the next lesson. In the previous lessons, we spoke about the six criteria for finding a good product to sell. We spoke about how to search and find successful Shopify drop shipping stores. And before we move on to the next lesson on product research of how to find the best products that are selling within those stores and in others, we need to make this small lesson in the middle. And it's a very important one of how to find the best drop shipping suppliers to work with in our stores so that our products will ship out really quick and so that we can get very good customer support in case of item cancellations and returns. We want to streamline the whole process. We want everything to be working smooth within our business and we do not want to deal with unsatisfied customers and other subjects that will simply cause our business to stop growing. Many people are drop shipping from Chinese suppliers, which is totally fine. It's a very good working method. The items are very, very cheap when they're coming from China, but there are a few problems when working with Chinese suppliers. The first one being that their shipping times are considerably slow when compared to US suppliers. The second problem is on returns and order cancellations. They usually want proof of if the product arrived damaged, show us pictures. If the product is not working, show us how it's not working. So there's usually a lot of ping-pong with Chinese suppliers. Return shipping is also usually not free. So the customer on the other end is just unsatisfied and he just wants to get this thing over with and he'll probably not buy from you again. But when working with US suppliers, this is usually a different situation. Their returns process is usually a lot easier and the products ship out much faster. Most of the customers receive their products within a week. Let's get on with the list and start talking about the best drop shipping suppliers that you need to work with in your drop shipping stores. So the first supplier that I want to recommend, a lot of people are not working with the supplier yet, but this supplier is on the rise. It's a huge online marketplace with a lot of sellers inside of it. And this supplier is called Etsy. Let's see what Etsy is and what it's all about. So here's the main page of Etsy. Once again, it's a huge online marketplace and it's on the rise. Let me show you guys Etsy's stock to show you exactly where this platform is going. So as you can tell in the past year, there's a huge rise. If we take a look at the maximum real quick, you can see that Etsy has been here for a few years, but only in the last year was there a huge significant rise. If you look at the last year and the last one year, you can see that the stock was around $45 in the beginning of this year. And today one stock is around $130, which means it more than tripled its stock just this year. A lot of people are using Etsy to buy products from. A lot of people are using them to source their products for their dropshipping stores. And as you can tell, they have a whole bunch of categories. It's very easy to find something that you need for your store, for your niche or to get product ideas. For example, if you go inside the listings, you can see that there are product reviews, free shipping. There are also high ticket prices, which you can make great profit from. But not in the beginning. We're going to go for lower price items. But as you can tell, there's a great selection. Go ahead and browse around Etsy. I'm not going to go into it too much because I want to keep these videos very, very short and very, very informational. So Etsy is the first one on the list. Start browsing them now and check out all of the stuff that they have. If you ask me, they're going to get very close to Amazon size in just a couple of years. So go ahead and start working with them before your competition does. The second supplier that I want to recommend to work with on your job shipping stores is Amazon. On Amazon, there are tons of products. You can find anything and just about everything on Amazon. I'm sure that you've browsed them around. I'm sure that you've heard of them. I'm sure that I don't need to get into detail of what Amazon is all about. But if you sign up for their prime account, you're going to get free shipping on all of their orders instead of the $25 minimum. All of the products will ship in in the first couple of days. And the products will arrive within the first week of the order. It usually takes about three or four days. And if we go back to Etsy for a second, if you go inside each product, you'll also be able to see how long it takes for the items to ship. So let's just go inside this product listing really quick. If we just scroll down, ready to ship in two to 10 business days, shipping from the United States. So you want to find products that are shipping from the United States. Two to 10 business days is not good in this particular example over here. But if we just click on another product, for example, this picture over here, once again just scroll down and see how long it takes and where it's shipping from. This is a good example, one to three business days from the United States. It's very easy to find these products. You have the reviews. So using Etsy is really, really easy. So on Amazon, if you have the Amazon Prime membership, all of the Prime products will ship in the first couple of days. And the customer will get his product within that same week that he ordered the product. The third US supplier that I want to recommend that you guys work with on your drop shipping stores is Walmart. A lot of people are also dropshipping from Walmart. This is nothing new, but the products are refreshing really, really fast on Walmart just as they are on Amazon. So it's another huge marketplace with a lot of sellers inside that are selling their products and you can benefit from it on your dropshipping stores. So Walmart is the third option that I want to recommend to you guys. And I only want to recommend one more supplier for you guys to work with because I don't want you guys to get too confused in the beginning. I want you to focus on one supplier and then two suppliers and then maybe three suppliers at the most. If you're going to work with five or maybe even ten suppliers, you're going to see that it's not going to be beneficial. It's very, very confusing and just very complicated. Work with two or three suppliers, it's more than enough. So the last supplier that I want to recommend that you guys work with, this is the fourth supplier. It's a supplier called Banggood. Many of you have heard of it. Many of you haven't. This is a very dropshipping friendly supplier with warehouses in the US and also in China. So when you're searching for a product, for example, cat toys, when you get the search results you have your ship from, click on that and choose only United States warehouses. Now you can see all of the cat toys that they have from United States warehouses. Do that on each and every one of your searches. And there you have another supplier with thousands of products in US warehouses. So those are the four dropshipping suppliers that I recommend that you guys work with. Go inside each one of their sites right now, especially the ones that you guys haven't heard about. Learn about them. See how fast they ship their products. Make sure that they're shipping from the United States. And this is where you're going to find the best dropshipping products to source with the best shipping times and very easy and convenient customer service. So we have Etsy, we have Amazon, we have Walmart and we have Banggood. The top four US suppliers to work with on your dropshipping stores. Bookmark them and in the next lesson we're going to learn about how to find the best dropshipping products in the Shopify stores that you spied on the last lesson and new methods of finding more products that are selling well in other stores. That's it for this lesson. See you in the next one. In the previous product finding videos we learned about the six criteria for finding a good product to sell. We also learned about how to find successful Shopify dropshipping stores and we learned about the best dropshipping suppliers to work with to ship out our items really quick and have excellent superb customer service along the way. Now this video is going to be an exciting one. How to find the best and most profitable dropshipping products to sell on our stores that are trending today, products that don't have a lot of competition and have a high profit margin. One way to find dropshipping products is by seeing what's working well for other people with Shopify dropshipping stores. I showed you one example a couple of lessons ago and now I'll show you more. And another way to conduct product research is simply by seeing what's going well on the market without researching specific Shopify dropshipping stores and with that you'll get the best trending products that are selling today. So let's begin. Remember how I mentioned a couple of lessons ago that there are a few methods to find Shopify dropshipping stores. Some of those methods include using Facebook ads, using a site called myip.ms to search Shopify dropshipping websites. Let's use that Facebook ads example and try to find something through there. Now one way to do it is using that extension called My Ad Finder or by manually searching Facebook for ads. If you guys don't recall any of this, I highly suggest to restart the product research videos because you guys need to understand the first part in order to move on to this one. Okay, so let's begin. We're going to manually search Facebook for free shipping, which is one of the texts that I told you guys that you will find ads through this manual search. So let's go with this one, free shipping when you shop now. It got 1.9 million views. It looks very viral. So what we're seeing here is a pooper scooper for your pets for your dogs. And if we click on see more, you can see the product description that he wrote for this product. And here you can see that it's a very viral post. It has about 9,500 likes and five and a half thousand comments. If we click on that, we can see just how viral it is. And if it's still trending in the last few days, we don't want to go for a product that was popular six months ago or one year ago. We want a product that's popular now. So one way to do it is to check the engagement in the post itself. So I click to see the comments. And instead of seeing the most relevant comments, I want to see the newest comments. This way I'll see if this product is still trending today. And as we can see, I'm going to click on view more comments. We have comments one day ago, six days ago, one week ago. So this product is still trending. This guy is probably selling this product. So let's move on to the next step. We'll click on his website. And here's the pooper scooper website. Now there are a couple of ways to see where he's getting these products from if they're selling and what other websites are selling this very product to check out the competition. You've probably already guessed it, but one method is using that koala inspector extension that I showed you guys a couple of lessons ago. So just open up the extension, click on find retailers, and you'll get a list of other websites that are selling this product. But as you can see, it's only Shopify website, so you can check the competition. But it didn't give me the information that I was looking for on where this guy is sourcing his product from. So using koala inspector is one tool. But the other tool that I want to talk to you guys about is using a reverse image search. By the way, if you haven't noticed, I'm teaching you guys how to conduct product research and spy on stores and do all these things using techniques that don't cost you guys any money at all. I know that it's really tough to start. Everything is on a budget. I'm giving you guys the best tools absolutely for free because I want to show you guys that anybody can do this. All you need is the willingness to learn a computer and a Wi-Fi connection. You can have successful Shopify stores generating sales and profit without spending a dime on your product research. You can use paid tools to research the market, but I'm showing you guys that it's still possible without spending a dime and you can still have successful stores that generate sales and profit. Once you start generating sales and profit, start putting in your budget on other things on better marketing and paid apps and paid tools. But first, learn to succeed on a budget. After that, you'll be able to do pretty much anything you want. So moving back, reverse image search. All you have to do is right click on the image and click on search Google for image. Now Google will show you all of the websites that have this picture in them. So as you can see, we have Facebook. That's probably where we saw the post. You have the KotaScooper.com website, which is where we were at KotaScooper. We got best friend brand, which is probably one of the competitors. Let's go to the next page, Organics Pets, another competitor. The KotaScooper is also putting it on Pinterest. So so far I found competitors, but I couldn't find the source. This is why you need to know about multiple techniques in order to get the answers that you guys are looking for. So we easily found way more competitors than the Koala Inspector showed me. But I still want to know the source. So another way to do it is simply by going into Amazon because it's one of the biggest retailers in the world. Here we're going to just make a basic search for PooperScooper, even though that's not what they called it. So this competitor called it PooperScooper, but this guy is calling it KotaScooper. So the main search term for this product is PooperScooper. So once I search for it, you see these products. It's not related to the one that we just saw, but we're just going to keep scrolling until we find the item or something that's related to it. So let's just go to the next page. And here we go. Look at this portable PooperScooper. Now let's look at this product and look at the original product. You guys agree with me that it's the same product, just probably in different colors. And if you scroll down and look at similar products, you can probably even find this product in a cheaper version. Check out this one, $14.66 and it's got cooler colors. So you can find the item very, very easily by creating a reverse image search and seeing the competition and maybe even finding the source. Or by simply searching Amazon or other suppliers that I talked to you guys about earlier. You can try Banggood or Etsy or Walmart. And once you find the product, you can see how much profit these guys are making. So if we're buying it for $14.66, this guy is selling it for $109. This guy doesn't have a currency converter, which is not user-friendly. But I'm just going to convert this for you guys, $109.75 divided by $3.4. So this guy is selling it for roughly $32 and you can buy it for less than half that price. That's how much profit he's making. He's making about $15, $16 or $17 a pop, which makes this a profitable product. And in order to see if this guy is selling the product, all you have to do is use that Koala Inspector as you know, open up the inspector, see best sellers. And as you can see, here's the variation. He is selling it and it's a one product store. He's not selling anything else. So we used Facebook ads. We found a viral ad that's still relevant that has comments within the past few days. We went inside this guy's website and we can see that he's still selling it. We were able to see that there's other competitors, but not too much. So there is enough room to put this product on our shops and sell it. And we were able to find his source where he's buying the product from and how much he's paying for it. It's a rough estimate. It's different colors, but it's the same product. And I always advise to never copy and paste any one of your competitors, not the pictures, not the titles, not the descriptions. Everything needs to be your own. So it's a good thing that we found different colors and different variations for this product. So we talked about using the reverse image search. We talked about using the koala inspector. Both of them can show you the sources and the competition for the products that you are looking at. Now I want to talk about another method of finding good products that are trending now. You will find a lot of best sellers this way. And this method doesn't have to do with spying on other people's stores. This method is called going to Amazon's Movers and Shakers. What is Amazon's Movers and Shakers you ask? Let me show you. Go to Google. Search for Amazon Movers and Shakers. And here we go.  So there's nothing more trending than this. There's nothing more updated than this. Every hour they're refreshing with the most trending products. So you can catch the waves way before anyone else. There are many categories to look at. You guys need to know which products you should sell and which products are not meant for dropshipping. For example, Amazon devices and accessories. You probably can't sell them, but it's better to not. It has Amazon all over it. Arts, crafts and sewing is a great category for dropshipping. Baby products, but just be careful with the choking hazard. Cell phones and accessories, you can find some impulsive products over there. In clothing, there's a whole bunch of products that you can also find for dropshipping, but there's the whole dimensions and the sizes, which can get confusing. So you shouldn't start with the clothing. You can try groceries. Some dropshippers are doing it, but I wanted to tell you guys to the best and most trending categories. In home and kitchen, you're going to find a lot. Kitchen and dining is also great. Home and garden, all of these categories. Patty O'Larn and garden. Pet supplies is great. Sports and outdoors. Tools and home improvement. These are the best categories for dropshipping. You can always find impulsive items over there. Let's just click on any of them. Patty O'Larn and garden. And here's the number one movers and shakers in Patty O'Larn and garden. We're not going to go into politics when we're dropshipping. So stay out of politics. We're not going to sell products that cost between $200 to $750. So just start scrolling and see what products are trending in the last hour. And using that, you can do a reverse image search to see the competition, how many people are selling this product, and if there's enough room for you to enter. If there's over 10 pages of sellers on Google, forget about it. But if it's just a couple of pages, then there's more than enough room for you to get inside and gain some profits from that product. For example, let's check out this Guardians of the Galaxy pot. I've been seeing this all throughout this year. Let's right click on that one and search Google for the image. This product, by the way, is saturated. But it was just one example that I wanted to show you guys. Check out these grow lights for these plants. This looks unique. I haven't seen this product before. Let's see what else we can find. Inflatables are also going really well right now because it's Q4 and it's the holiday season. And by the way, we have blogs for the best products that you need to sell in every occasion, including Christmas. I also spoke about inflatables in that blog just so you guys know. So there's a lot of potential that I'm seeing over here. And so use Amazon Movers and Shakers to find products not from people's Shopify dropshipping stores in a different method to see what's trending in the past hour and in the past 24 hours. Find the competition, see where there's not a lot of competition, and get those products to your store.  But now you guys have a very important assignment. Remember how a few lessons ago I told you to download a product research spreadsheet? Now you're gonna have to use it. Your assignment, before heading on to the next lesson, and this one is gonna take you guys some time, which is a good thing because you guys need to understand that product research needs to take you time. The more you work on it, the more secret gems you're gonna find. If you think 10 minutes of work are going to find you your next best seller, you're completely wrong, just like most other dropshippers. Now let's take it to the next level, put in some real work, and then you'll see some real results. So, your assignment, before heading on to the next lesson, is to open that product research spreadsheet. Here we go. Now, what I want you guys to do is to only fill in two columns for now. Those two columns are the product column and the source column. What you need to do now is to start researching the market using the tools that I provided you in this lesson and in the past couple of lessons. To find Shopify dropshipping stores, see what's selling inside those stores using Koala Inspector. Use Amazon Movers and Shakers to find more trending products. Use the reverse image search to see more competition and sources that are selling those products to see that there is enough profit for you guys to get inside and that there is not a huge fierce competition for that product. So what I want you guys to do now is simply fill in the product and the source. Let's do the example of the product that we just saw. Here it is, the Pooper Scooper. So this is a good product with not a lot of competition and the profit margin is at least 50%, if not more. So let's add this product. All you have to do is simply take the product's name. I'm not going to use this name because that's the name of the seller. Portable Pooper Scooper with bag. Copy that name into the product. And in the source, simply fill in the URL. Copy the URL, paste it inside the source. So that's how you fill in one product for now. We're not going to touch the rest of the columns. That's going to be in the next video. Your assignment is to fill in 25 rows of products with the product's name and the product's link. Product name, product link, 25 times using all of the methods that we talked about. So that's all regarding product research for this video. In the next video, we're still going to learn a few more things about product research and with that we're going to sum it up. We still have so much more things to do. We need to create our stores. We need to market our stores. We need to get our first sales. So 25 products, work hard on them. See you in the next video. Check out this product that's making over $1,000 in profit for every sale. And here's the super viral ad the seller's running for that same product. And here is the seller supplier. He's buying it for only $288 and selling it for $2,009. That's over $1,700 in profit on a proven winning product. There are tons of winning products just like this one on AutoDS's winning products hub. When I click on one of the products, I get all of the details including the seller's website, the seller's ad copy, the audience targeting, the profit potential. And when I click on this button, it'll import to my store so that I could sell the same product in under five seconds. Want to learn more? Subscribe to our YouTube channel and head over to autoDS.com to start your trial. In the previous lessons, you got an assignment to add 25 products to the product research spreadsheet. And these are not just randomly chosen products. These are products that have been proven to work for other dropshippers. You used my IP.ms to find Shopify sites or you search Facebook ads for them. It doesn't matter once you combine the tools that I gave you in the previous lessons and you added them to here. We can continue moving on to the next steps with these high potential products. So the first thing that I want you guys to do is start filling in the rest of the columns that we didn't fill in in the past lesson. So right now you only have your product and your source. Now let's move on to the next columns. The first one is asking you if you are passionate about this product. So if you have no passion whatsoever for this product, if you do not care for it, you probably won't do a good job trying to market this product and adding a good product page for it. So if you have no passion for the product, simply click on the arrow and click on no. But since we're talking about this portable pooper scooper, I'm not totally passionate about poop, but I am passionate about the product. So I'm going to mark this one. Yes. The next question is, is this product hard to find in stores? So this pooper scooper with the bag is hard to find in stores because you usually just have regular pooper scoopers or just a bag, but not the combination of them both. This is actually very, very convenient when you're walking out with your dogs. I did not see it in regular pet shops. So it is hard to find in stores. The answer here is yes. The next question is, is it hard to guess the price of this product? Let's take a look at the product again, just in case you guys forgot. So here is the product. Is it hard to guess the price? I would say yes, because a pooper scooper can cost up to $30 or $35 and it would still make sense to buy for this price. But if we would have had this product in other stores and it was easy to find in other stores, then people probably have bought it before and they would know that this product is supposed to cost around, let's say, $20. And then you're losing the whole effect of is it hard to guess the price? But in this case, it is hard to guess the price. So I'm going to say yes. The next question is, is this product safe to sell? Now, the meaning in safe to sell is, is it a safe product? For example, toys for children that are relatively small are not safe products to sell because there is a choking hazard. Beauty products have all kinds of formulas inside them and you have no idea what it's actually doing to your skin and so forth. So those are also not safe products to sell, even though a lot of dropshippers are selling them. You can kind of get the idea of what products are safe to sell compared to products that are not safe to sell. So this pooper scooper, there's nothing not safe about it. It's totally safe. So let's go for it. The answer is yes. The next question is, can this product be bought without research? Remember how I told you a couple of lessons ago that you need a product that it's hard to make any research on it? For example, if you're selling t-shirts and the buyer doesn't know his exact size or shoes or socks or whatever, and he needs to go and check it or maybe he needs to talk to his wife about it because it's a product that needs a conversation with his wife, needs some kind of approval before buying any product that will make the buyer say, wait, okay, before I buy it, let me just go check something about this product and then maybe I'll come back later and buy it. Most chances are we're going to lose those buyers. But this pooper scooper, there is nothing much to research about it. It does exactly what it says it's going to do. There are no sizes. There are no different dimensions. There's not much to be researched about it. It's a one problem, one solution product. So this product can be bought without much research. So the answer here is yes. Does this product solve a problem or stand out? Obviously, the pooper scooper solves the problem.  So it's very easy. It's very convenient. This solves a problem that a lot of people have when they're walking their dogs, they got the bags in one pocket and they're putting their hand inside the bag and they're turning it inside out with the poop inside. So that's a big problem that pet lovers have. People who have dogs. This takes care of your hygiene and it makes it much more convenient. So this solves a problem and it stands out. The answer here is obviously yes. The next question is does the product cost less than $30? In this case, it costs $14.66. So once again, the answer is yes, it costs less than $60. And the final question that you're going to get in this spreadsheet is, does this product comply with Facebook ads policies? This is a very important thing that you guys need to read and understand before you start creating your Facebook ads. We're going to get to that in a couple of lessons. And it's going to be super interesting. You're going to learn everything about it. But before you start it, you have to learn about the policies and make sure that you comply with them. So in this course, you have a resources PDF, which you can find below this video on the course page. Inside this resources PDF, you have the links to everything that I'm talking about, all the links inside a PDF. So it's going to be very well organized for you. But just to give you guys a quick glance at the Facebook policies, it's also going to be in the resources link. So here is a whole bunch of stuff that you just cannot do when you're running Facebook ads. For example, you cannot run ads on tobacco products or knives and things that are dangerous, drugs, weapons, ammunition, explosives, adult content. Just go over this policy, read it. It's going to take a few minutes and it's definitely worth it because nobody wants to put up with banned ad accounts. It's super annoying. You can just waste a lot of money on it. So make sure that you are well familiar with Facebook's ad policies. So once you go through that, you will know if your product does comply with Facebook policies or not. In this case, it does. And now I have answers for my first product. Now what I want you guys to do is to fill in all of the 25 products, fill in all of the columns, all of the questions that they're asking you. It's easy to find the answers. Once you fill in all of the 25 products, we can move on to the next step. So I'm going to do it on my side really quick. You do it on your side really quick. And I'll see you in just a couple of minutes. Okay, after we're done filling in the columns, the next step is to take all of the products where you answered yes to each and every one of the columns and keep only those rows. Delete the rest of the rows. What we're trying to do here is to narrow down the products so that we will have anywhere around five products that we will be able to create our store around those products. So in order to delete the rows, all you have to do is right click on the row on the left side and click on delete or hide the row. Doesn't matter. So I'll start it on my side, you start it on your side and I'll see you again in just a couple of minutes. Okay, I'm done. I'm down to about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 products. Now you should have anywhere around 5 to 10 products. It really depends on the answers that you guys gave down here. The point here is that we already narrowed down winning products that we can start building our stores around. Now since we're not going for a general store, let's see what products we have here and think about which niche we want to go for. So I got that portable pooper scooper. We got that toothbrush sanitizer. We got a double retractable dual leash for dogs. We have an elevated raised dog bowl, a wireless phone charger, a wall decoration canvas, a nightstar projector, and a cell phone disc, which I want you guys to see this by the way. It has nothing to do with what we're about to do. But this is actually a really cool product that I just found while doing this product research. And it already sold over 10,000 units. And what it's supposed to do is balance the energy that your cell phone is transmitting. So that's it. I'm just going to put this away. I already have an idea of what I'm going to do once I'm done recording this course for you guys. So moving on. Now I can see one niche that's going well for me here. And that's the pet niche. And it makes sense because I love pets. My ads took me to pets. So I found a lot of pet items. And also other products, which I'm sure would go well if you built your store around them. But since we're going for a niche store, the pets looks like a good niche store to go with the product research that I made. You guys will have the solutions to what niche you need to go for with the product research that you did on your side. So let me just delete the products that are not relevant. Even though they are relevant for dropshipping, they're actually even very relevant, but not for the store that we're about to create. So we're just going to hide these rows. Okay. So I want to create my store around these four products. We're going to choose one main product with the highest potential. That's a product that we're going to market. And if we want to add more related products, we can. But this is enough to already create a store around it. This is what we're going to go over in the next lessons. So that's all I want you guys to do for this lesson. You have your 25 products. You answered all of the questions in the columns and you narrowed it down to anywhere around five products that we can finally create a store around. Even if you have four items, it's also totally fine. It's enough to create the store, market the product that you want and start generating sales and profit. So that's it for this lesson. That's it regarding product research and suppliers and how to find the stores and what selling and whatnot. Now we're ready to move on to the next lesson. You are going to start creating your Shopify store. So now that you have your profitable and high potential winning products, save them, move on to the next lesson, how to create your Shopify store. See you there. Okay. Before we begin the next lesson, I want you guys to give yourselves a little pet on the back because you guys really deserve it. You worked really hard until now with the product research. You added all of the products and you narrowed them down and you watched all of the videos and learned up until now. By making it this far, you're already showing that you're serious in running and creating your own online business. So let's continue with that and reach our road to success. Now what is Shopify? For those of you who don't know, Shopify is a web application that allows you to create and run your own online stores and it's one of the most used selling platforms worldwide by entrepreneurs all over small, medium, big, large. The sizes don't matter. A lot of people are using Shopify because it's easy. It's simple and it simply makes the whole process of creating an online store much, much easier than it was a few years ago when there was no Shopify and people were simply creating their websites using third-party services and companies or those who have knowledge in HTML and JavaScript. And so they just went on and coded their own websites. Today anyone can create their own online store and it's super easy and Shopify is the platform that you want to do it on. So that's a brief explanation of what is Shopify. Now the next question is, why Shopify? They must not be the only ones who can allow you to run your own online store. That's true. But Shopify still makes it really, really easy to create your store. No technical skills are required in order to create your store. You don't need to know HTML and coding and all of that. They also have a 99.99% uptime. Their host is very, very reliable. So you won't have to worry about your website going down because of hosts, database maintenance and all those kinds of issues. Another reason is that Shopify has a whole bunch of apps inside of their app store. They have developers working on them all the time. And I'm not talking about developers who are working for Shopify. I'm talking about freelance developers, developers who work in all kinds of small and medium companies to make great apps for Shopify. So there's a whole bunch of apps. There's a lot of competition on those apps. Many are free, many are paid. And their goal is to simply help you convert sales or retarget your ads for email marketing and so forth. And at the end of the day, it'll simply allow you to have your own online asset which generates sales, generates profit, as long as you did your product research correctly, marketed your product correctly. That's more than enough to start converting those sales. So it's got a super friendly entry barrier because you don't need any technical skills to create a trustworthy brand in a great looking store. It's fully customizable with the apps and the themes and all of the stuff that I'm going to show you. You're creating your own profit generating internet asset. And those three reasons should already be enough to convince you that Shopify is the right platform to sell your products on. That's the quick intro on Shopify. Now let's move on to the next lesson. Create your own Shopify store. See you there. Okay, so now that we've used all of the tools that we had in the product research stage and we've narrowed down our best selling products, we are now ready to create our own Shopify store. So let me walk you through this process. This is probably one of the most easiest lessons in this whole course, so enjoy it. So now all that you have to do is sign up for Shopify and get your 14 day free trial using the sign up link that we have in the resources PDF for this course. I once again remind you guys to use this resources PDF because in that PDF you have links to everything that we're talking about in this course including the suppliers and the links and the tools and everything that you guys need is simply organized in the resources PDF. So use that resources PDF to sign up for Shopify and then you'll get your 14 day free trial which you will need to build your store and import your products and market your products. All of those things we are going to do together so don't worry about it. Just get your 14 day free trial by clicking on the link. Once you click on that link you'll be taking to this page as we see in front of me. Don't worry about these prices. You won't have to pay them because we're just going to use our free trial and once our stores will be completely ready we'll subscribe for the first plan. But don't worry about that for now. We are going for low budgets. We want to succeed on low budgets and I want to show you guys that it's possible. So just scroll down, click on start free trial. Now simply enter your email address, your password and your store name. Now your store name is going to look like this. Let's say I'm calling it Pet Shop. This name is obviously taken but let's say we're using this name. Your website is going to look like this. Your store's name, mypetshop.myshopify.com. Now you don't want your store to have this address and that's perfectly fine. This is just a store name that you will use but later on you're going to connect it to your own domain name www.whateveryouwant.com and that's going to be your store's website address. I'm also going to show you how to do that but we're going to get to that step by step. So first just choose a name for your store. Later on you'll be able to connect it to a different name but this will be your main name which only you will see. So let's go ahead and choose a name that wasn't chosen in the past so we can continue the signup process. Let's say Pet Shop discounts and it's not taken. So Pet Shop discounts will be our store name which we will later change it to our own domain name. Okay so this is the first screen that you're going to be greeted with. Tell us a little bit about yourself. You don't have to answer any of these questions. You can just go ahead and click on skip. Next enter your basic information. So first name, last name, your address, postal code, city, phone number. Choose if you have a registered business under your name or not and then just click on enter my store. And so here we are with our brand new Shopify account. We have 14 days to do whatever we want. Now we're going to start optimizing our stores, adding products, making our logos and everything else that we need to do to get this store up and running with the best dropshipping products and this is where we are going to get wild and creative. So get ready. Your assignment for this lesson is to create your Shopify store using the signup link in the resources PDF to get your 14 day free trial and I'll see you on the next lesson where you will choose a name for your business for everyone to see. See you in the next lesson. Now that we have our Shopify accounts and 14 day free trial up and running, let's go ahead and get to work. Now the first thing that we want to do is get a name for your business. The best way to go about this is using a business name generator tool. They're completely free to use and they help us get some great names for our business. Let's take a look. Here is a business name generator. The link to the site is businessnamegenerator.com. You have the link to this website in the resources PDF. Let me just remind you guys once again that in the resources PDF for this course you have links to everything that I'm talking about including this cool free tool. So let's go ahead and use it. So the first thing that you need to do is think about the niche that you are going for. Remember that product research spreadsheet that you use you narrow down your products. You narrow down your niche. You know what niche you're going for. If you don't know which niche you're going for yet I advise you to go back to the product research stage work on your product research. You need to have that stage done and filled in before moving on to these steps. So I know that I'm going for the dog niche using my product research. I narrowed it down to dogs. So I want to go for the dog niche. So I'm just going to search dog pet shop and see what kind of results I can get. By the way it's also going to check the domain availability with GoDaddy which means the results that I have I will be able to connect a domain name with them. Let me show you guys. So upon searching dog pet shop it's showing me all of these cool business names that I can use and that I can also connect a domain name with them. For example let's see these names let's see some results that I got petqualify.com sounds like a cool site. Let's see what else dog duke also sounds pretty cool. Pet get also has a nice catchy name to it. So as you can tell you're actually getting some pretty good results to name your business with your niche. Once you find something that sounds catchy let's say for example we want to go with pet style I'm going to click on that. Now as you can tell I'm getting all of these domain name results that I can use for my site. For example petstyle.co I can go with petstyle.mx. Now here are a few tips. First of all you don't want too many syllables in your domain name because you don't want it to be too long. You want a short catchy name that people will be able to remember. If your customers memorize your domain names it's going to work that much better. So for example you can go for .org it's okay but once again .coms usually have the best impact they usually cost a couple dollars more every year than other domains but it's still definitely worth it. So go for short names and try to catch those .coms. So that's how simple it is to get a great name for your business which soon we will also be able to connect our domain with it. This is your way to find unique names for the niche that you are going for. It's giving you great ideas. You can even use these words and generate more ideas for your domain and for your business name. But this tool has it all and it's completely free to use and it's checking the domain name availability on the way. So it's a great all-in-one tool to use to name your business. That's it for this lesson. Your assignment is an easy one. Get a name for your business. Make sure it's catchy. Make sure that there's not too many syllables and make sure that you'll have .com which we will learn in the next couple of lessons how to implement it in your Shopify stores. Get a name for your business. Write it down on the side. See you in the next lesson. In the previous lesson, your assignment was to create a name for your business using helpful tools like the business name generator which is provided in the resources PDF for this course. Now in this lesson what we are going to do is connect the name that you found for your business to your own unique domain name. Now you've already searched for your domain names availability using the business name generator tool which gives you that ability but if you didn't check your domain availability yet you can simply do so by entering godaddy.com and simply search for the domain that you want. Now using the help of the business name generator tool I was able to think of a pretty cool domain name which goes by doggydogclub.com. Now as you can see this domain is available for $12 a month. I could have gotten the availability for this domain using the name generator which I showed you in the lesson before. So to connect your domain to Shopify once you found out that the domain name that you want is available what you have to do is on your Shopify dashboard click on online store then click on domains below and here you can see your default domain which we chose when we created our account petshopdiscounts.myshopify.com I told you to forget about this name because your audience are not going to know about this store name. Now what we're going to do is simply connect it to the domain name that we want. So since we already know the name of our domain what we're going to do is click on buy new domain and check the price if we're going to do it directly through Shopify. So here I already know that I want my domain name to be doggydogclub.com. Now Shopify is also checking the domain name availability and as you can see it's showing me that it's available. So doggydogclub.com is available for $14 a year. You can go ahead and click buy if you want to buy it but wait. Remember how I told you that we're going to do everything on a budget and we're going to pay the lowest price as possible to get the store to succeed since we're only in the beginning and you need to see that everything can still be done on a budget. So we're seeing $14 a year which isn't a high price but let's check if there are better. Head to godaddy.com the link to godaddy.com can also be found in the resources PDF for this course. So once you're in godaddy.com check this out. Move over to the right and click on promos. Now as you can see there's a promo on godaddy.com. Get your own domain for $4.99. $4.99 for a whole year already sounds a whole lot better than $14. So there's your way to get your promo for your first year of having your domain. All you have to do is click on show code and we got our code for getting our domain for $5 a year. Let's copy the promo code and now let's buy our domain name and connect it to Shopify. So we're back to the main page. We want doggiedogclub.com. Now we can see doggiedogclub.com is available. We're going to click on add to cart. Now in the cart we're going to update it to just one year. Here is our $4.99. We're just going to click on continue to cart. Here simply click on no thanks. We don't need this and we don't need this. We don't need anything other than our coming soon page which we have for now. We don't want to create an email address for your domain. You can do it. I'm just not doing it for this example. It's another two bucks a month. There are also other ways to do this. So it's not a now or never choice. Click on continue to cart. And now we're in the cart. As you can see the promo code is already inserted. Our subtotal is $4.99 which is 72% off for the whole year of having this domain name doggiedogclub.com. Everything looks good. Everything sounds good. Now we're just going to click on check out. Create your account if you haven't already done so. And click on create account. Now let's move on to the billing information. After the billing information you have your payment information. So add your credit card. Finally make sure all of the information is correct and hit complete purchase. So we got doggiedogclub.com. The total cost is $4.99. We got a little bit of tax or $5.17 is the total order price. Here's the payment information and the billing information. Once everything looks good on your side simply click on complete purchase. And that's it. We have our order. We have our domain name. The next step is to activate the domain that you just purchased. So head over to your email that you used to sign up with GoDaddy. And in the email scroll down to get started in order to activate your products. Here they're asking you to verify your email. So I went back to my email and I noticed that they sent me a verification link. We're just going to click on verify email now. Success we've now verified your email address. Now if we go back to products and refresh that page or just click on view my domains it doesn't matter it'll take you to the same place. So here's the domain doggiedogclub.com. We verified our email addresses and now we can connect it to Shopify. So now head back to Shopify. Now we don't want to buy this domain for $14 because we just bought it for $4.99 or was it $5.17. So let's just go ahead and go back. Now what we want to do is instead of buying a new domain we want to connect an existing domain that we already have which is the one that we already bought. So I clicked on that. Now it's asking me what is the domain's address. So it is doggiedogclub.com. Click on next. Now choose whether you want to connect it manually or connect it automatically. First we're going to try to connect it automatically and if there are any problems we're going to go with the manual method and if you need help with connecting it manually just know that I added a tutorial link in the resources PDF for this course. So let's go ahead and click connect automatically. And here we go connecting your domain doggiedogclub.com to Shopify site from Shopify requires that they change some DNS records. It's fine. Just click on connect success. You have successfully enabled the service Shopify site from Shopify for doggiedogclub.com. This means that we were able to automatically connect our domain which we bought separately from golddaddy.com for just $5 instead of paying Shopify the full $14 for that whole year. So now we're just going to click on close. Now you can see it's verifying the connection. Let's let it connect. And now as you can see our domain has successfully connected with Shopify. The old web address was petshopdiscounts.myshopify.com. No thanks. The new domain is doggiedogclub.com which sounds a lot better and it is definitely a name that our audience can connect to. They can memorize it and they can feel like they themselves joined our doggiedogclub. So that is how you can find purchase and connect your own unique domain name to Shopify. And so your assignment for this video if it's not obvious enough already is to purchase your own unique domain name added to your Shopify store. And now you'll have your own store. You'll have your own domain name and we can move on to the next lesson. Create your own unique store logo. No technical skills required. No graphic skills required. Just the free awesome tools that I'm going to show you to create your own professional website. We're moving forward. It's looking good and soon it's going to look great. Get your domain name. Purchase it. Connect it. See you in the next lesson. In the previous lessons you've created your own Shopify account. You've brainstormed and generated a unique name for your business. You purchased your own dot com domain and connected it to your Shopify account. And now in this lesson you are going to create your very own professional store logo. As I've mentioned you don't need any graphical skills. You don't need friends or to hire any professional graphic designers. You're going to do this completely by yourself. It's not going to cost you a dime and it's going to look totally professional for your new brand. So let's get on with it. Head over to a website called Hatchfold dot Shopify dot com. Needless to say the link can be found in the resources PDF that we have for this course. So always check out the resources PDF. You're going to find all of the information that I'm talking about in this course. So let's head over to the Hatchfold website. Okay. Here we are. Now we're just going to go ahead and click on get started. Now they're asking you to choose a business space. So just choose something that's connected or related to your niche. For example, we have fashion, health and beauty, home and garden. But since I'm going for doggydogclub.com it's obviously the pets niche. So I'm going to go ahead and click pets and choose next. Now they're asking you to choose your visual style. So once again, choose something that connects to your niche that connects to your brand. So you can go for something calm. You can go for something classic. You can go for something innovative if you're going for tech gadgets and so forth. I think that friendly is the most relatable visual style that I can have for pets because it's a very, very friendly niche. So I'm going to choose friendly and click on next. Now they're asking you to add your business name. So the store that I'm creating is called doggydogclub and it matches the business's name. You can also choose a slogan because some of the logos that they're going to give you will have the ability to add a slogan under them. So let's just choose a slogan for all dog lovers. Next. Now they're asking you to tell them where this logo will be used. So we're going to use it for an online store or website. But don't worry because Hatchful will create and save your logo in a directory in many different file formats for your website, for social media and for ads. So just choose online store or website and click next. Now Hatchful has already created logos for me with all of the information that I've provided. So let's take a look. We have doggydogclub in each and every one of them and you can see the icons. So this one actually is a pretty good match. Doggydogclub. I like the colors. You have a dog paw slash D for dog. So this logo really looks good and it makes sense. This one has a fish aquarium. So it has nothing to do with dogs. So as you can see, some of these matches are really spot on and some are less. Take a look at this one. Doggydogclub with the dog in the middle. It's a very simple logo and it looks clean and professional. I also really like this one. Let's see some more. Doggydogclub with the fish. Not relevant. This one also doesn't look relevant. Doggydogclub with the bone in the middle. I also really like this one. It looks professional. So as you guys can see, some of these logos look really, really good and really professional and you really don't need anything more than this to start a store and have it generate sales and profit. This is completely free. This one also looks really cool.  Doggydogclub. So once again, this is really all you guys need to create your professional logo. You don't need to pay anyone for it. You don't need to open up your phone and see who is a graphic designer in your contacts that will have to do you a favor. This is completely free and it's professional and it gets everything done. So let's just go ahead and choose a logo. Okay guys, it was really hard to choose because there's a lot of good variety and good choices here, but I'm just going to go for this one. Doggydogclub for all dog lovers. And as you can see, there's a dog logo up here, which is like multiplied three times. So it looks professional. It looks good. It gets the message through. It looks clean and simple. And I simply really, really like this one. So I'm going to go for it. So once you found your logo on the left side, you can change the name or the slogan. You can change the fonts so you can play around and see whichever font looks good for your logo. I actually like the default one, so I don't think I'm going to change it. On the left side, you can also change the logo's colors. So if you didn't like this blue one, you can go for different colors. I'm going to go with the original one for now. But just so you know, you have the colors and the fonts and the name and the slogan on the left side. Once you're done with that, go ahead and click on next. And that's it. The next step is to simply download your logo and remember where you're saving this directory because we're going to use it. And now Hatchful sent the ready logo to my email address. Let's go ahead and take a look. Here we go. Your Hatchful brand assets, your files are ready. All you have to do is click on the download Hatchful export zip file. And as you can see down here on the bottom left, it downloaded the zip file onto my computer. Let's go ahead and open the directory and see what we have inside. Okay, here's the extracted folder. Let's take a look at the files inside. So as you can see, we can see the logo here in many different file sizes, many different file formats, which once again you can use for your website, for your ads and for social media. So keep this directory, hold on to it. And once again, look how easy it is to create your own free logo. You didn't have to ask for anyone's help. You can customize it in so many ways and you can choose so many logos out of the bunch. That's it for this lesson on creating your own store logo absolutely for free. And I've tested a few tools before going out and recommending this one. It is definitely the best out of the bunch, which is also completely free and it's also one of its greatest advantages because between us software this powerful does deserve to get paid.

There used to be a time when we used to pay so much money to graphic designers to create a good looking logo for our business. But those days are over because today I will show you how you can do that absolutely for free and actually get a really good looking unique and professional logo for your e-commerce stores. All that and a bag of potato chips coming up in this video. So do not go anywhere quick intro and let's go. Welcome back to how to create a professional logo for your e-commerce business. No matter what selling channel you are selling on whether on Shopify, Wix, eBay, WooCommerce, Facebook Marketplace, Facebook Shops and so much more.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel and like and share this video if you appreciate the value. Let's take it from the top. Everything that I'm going over you can also read about it in our blog article which I'll leave a link to right below this video. So why do we want to create a logo in the first place? If we're not really branding our stores because we can't brand our products since it is the dropshipping business model. So we're not purchasing the inventory in advance and if we're not purchasing inventory up front the manufacturers who are creating these products are not going to brand our business name on it because if we're not going to buy that inventory then somebody else will. So most people who want to have a branded store usually purchase inventory up front and then they're not really dropshipping anymore. They are now becoming their own inventory sellers. However, you can still brand your e-commerce store. You can still brand your dropshipping business when you have a good looking logo, a nice cover image and your whole layout, your whole theme, your whole store is complimenting to the brand that you created. Doesn't matter if your products don't have your brand on it or if the product packaging doesn't have, of course it does help to have but even if you don't you can still brand your business and this is the way to do it. Starting with your store logo. Now a store logo is good because it helps you brand your store and why do we want a brand in the first place? Because branding our store increases customer loyalty and trust because when a customer sees that they are looking at a real business that has its own brand, it has its own design, it's got its own unique colors and it's got its own unique look. When you have all of that your business looks more serious than the other dropshippers who have stores without using any type of branding technique without having their own logo and their own store design. So this is going to take you one step further in the competition and it will help you increase your sales conversions and make more profit. Of course there is much more than just creating a good looking logo, we also want to sell the right products and there's also so much more. So if you want to learn about dropshipping also head over to our blog page at autodesk.com slash blog and our YouTube channel which I already talked about which you can learn so much more about how to create a successful dropshipping business from A to Z, no matter what suppliers you want to use, no matter what audience you want to sell to and no matter what selling channel you want to sell on. So we know that having a good logo on our store can help grab the attention of our target audience, increase our brand awareness and build customer loyalty. All of that will sum up to making more sales on the products in our stores. Here is a list of the top 10 best free dropshipping logo generators. So everything here is absolutely free. I'm going to start with a free list and then I will move on to the paid list but make no mistake the free is more than enough to get started with a good looking logo. Starting off at number one in no particular order is Canva. Then we've got Hatchful free logo design, logo maker, Wix logo maker which you don't only have to use only on Wix, Zarla free logo service, free logo creator, name cheap and place it. Those are the top 10 free logo generators and here we also have a list of the differences between them. You can read about it once again in the blog article which is linked below this video. Here's a brief overview for each and every one of them. Starting with Canva. Canva is a free graphic design platform that allows us to create a variety of graphic content in different formats. Most importantly, it offers the tools and formats that we need to create good looking logos. Some of their key features is that their platform is very easy to use. It has a user friendly user interface which simply allows you to create good looking logos without needing to have any design skills and anything of that sort. They also have a large number of free templates that you can use right off the bat that can help you get started creating a good logo and their content is shareable. Number two on the list and this is my personal favorite, Hatchful. Hatchful is a part of Shopify and this is a free logo creator that can help you create very good looking logos for your store. It's absolutely free to use and you don't have to use it only for Shopify. They also help you create your logos for more than one place. You can have the logo on your eBay or Shopify or Facebook store but it'll also export your logo to many other different types of formats and the logo that you will create will have its own favicon too. So branding really goes a long way and Hatchful helps you create it again, absolutely for free. Free logo design also helps you create your free logos right off the bat, no credit card required, absolutely for free to create professional level logo designs and it also gives you ideas of what types of logos you should be creating. In other words, it gives you inspiration of what types of logos could be good for your business and it's fully customizable. Ucraft Logo Maker takes a different approach by giving you vector and PNG download options. Many images today come out in PNG file format and Ucraft Logo Maker supports it. They also offer lots of free elements that you can use to get started with your logo so you don't have to start from scratch and it's easy to generate one from there. Wix Logo Maker is similar to Shopify's Hatchful Logo Maker. Only here, Wix is doing it in their own way by helping you not only generate a logo for your business but also generate a name for your business. So if you already have a niche store and you know exactly in what direction you're heading with your e-commerce business, you can also create a good name with Wix's free Logo Maker. Next you have Zarla. They have a more cartoonish look and they also help you create beautiful logo designs. One of the things that helps Zarla stand out is that you don't need to sign up in order to create your free logo, at least as of now. The other websites need you to at least sign up and provide your email address but here you don't even need to do that. So if you have a problem leaving your email addresses or if you just don't like signing up to all kinds of services before you actually know that you like them or that they will be beneficial to you, Zarla can be your way to go. Free Logo Service offers many premade designs for you to start working with. So if you're not sure where you want to start and in what direction you want to go with your logo, Free Logo Service can be a good choice. It's very customizable and they've got a large number of premade designs. Then you've got Free Logo Creator, another great free logo creator website. There is no limits to the amount of logos that you can make here and they support all kinds of different file formats including JPG, PNGs, SVGs and PDFs. Then we've got Namecheap. If you haven't heard of them before, you might not go in this direction because what helps them stand out besides helping you create a professional business logo is that they also integrate it with the other Namecheap tools. So if you're not using those, skip on to the rest of the logo makers that I mentioned earlier in this video. Then we've got Placeit. These guys have some unique graphics that will be very difficult to find anywhere else. You can check out this screenshot as an example. They have bold designs for their logos. It looks different than other places and this is what helps them stand out the most. So if you like this style, check out what they have to offer. Now let's briefly go over the eight best paid dropshipping logo generators and then I will show you a step by step tutorial on how to create a professional looking logo from A to Z. 99 designs, Luca, Fiverr, Creative Market, Taylor Brands Logo Maker, Design Hill, Graphic Springs Logo Maker and Brand Crowd. Those are the eight best paid logo generator tools. Let's go over them really quick. First we've got 99 designs and once again you have the links to everything that I'm talking about in the blog article linked below this video. So 99 designs helps you find a designer to hire to help you create your logo. So it's similar to other websites like Fiverr and Upwork and so forth. So if you're looking a higher graphic designer, that is one good option. Then you've got Luca. Luca helps you create your logo using sophisticated artificial intelligence. Now if you need to create more than one good looking design, this is your way to go because their subscriptions start at $96 a year, which isn't so cheap, but it's also really not that expensive. But if you only want to use their service one time or if you only want to create one logo, you might want to move on to another service provider. Then you've got Fiverr, which is just like Luca, the first one in this example, where you can simply find a graphic designer for hire. And here you can find people to create your logos starting at $5 per logo. So that's really not a lot of money and you can get everything done for you without you having to intervene whatsoever, except for once you get the design and you want to make some changes, you can let them know on Fiverr and they will make the revisions for you. Each freelancer there has a limited amount of revisions that they will be willing to make for you. So be sure to go over the sellers, what they have to offer, how many reviews they have from their previous jobs, and that will help you land a good freelancer to create a logo for your store. Now if you are a graphic designer yourself, but you're looking for a good place to start from that has all kinds of ready made templates for you to continue your work from there, creative market is your choice. Here you have lots of ready made templates as you see here in front of me. And you can use these templates to continue editing them in either Photoshop or Illustrator to create a really good and very unique logo for your store. So once again, if you have some graphic editing skills and you want to put your work to test, try out creative market. This is a good solution for those who actually have experience in the graphic design field. Next we've got Taylor Brands Logo Maker. This is another unique and professional logo maker tool that you can use and even start off for free. And once you create a logo that looks really good that you're willing to put money on and you want to download it, only then will you have to pay for it. And you have a basic plan starting at just 10 bucks a month. So it is affordable for anyone who wants to get started. And they do want to pay for their logo makers. But once again, if you're getting started and you're on a budget, the free logo makers that I just said in the beginning of this video are a perfect choice for getting started. And once you really start to scale your business and you start making great sales and you're ready to make your store look even better, only then should you, in my opinion, turn to the paid logo providers. Next you've got Design Hill, another logo maker. And as you see, there are many of them. Design Hill starts at $20 per logo file. So after you create your logo and you're ready to download it, it's going to cost you 20 bucks per logo. But what's also special here is that they also help you with your social media file kit. So they're going to help you create your logos for all of your social media channels and increase your brand awareness there. Then you've got Graphic Springs logo maker. Here, your packages start at $20 a month and the platinum plan goes up to $200 a month. So it really depends on what type of graphic solutions you need. And you also have the option to hire a professional to create your logos for you.  And then later on, even a year later, if you want to come back and make some changes to that logo, you have that option. Then you've got Brand Crowd, another paid logo maker. And of course, a professional one of that that allows you to have unlimited customization options and also creates handcrafted logos for your e-commerce business. Starting at just $9 per month, this is a very affordable service that you should check out if you want to put a budget aside for this. That sums up the list of the best free and paid dropshipping logo maker tools. And now, as promised, I will show you how you can create a professional looking store logo for your e-commerce business. Here's how it's done. First, head over to hatchful.shopify.com. Link in the blog article below this video. And here, you simply need to log in or sign up if you haven't done so yet, doesn't cost any money, and turn your registration details. And then go ahead and log in, which I am doing now. Once inside, click on Get Started. Now, choose your business space. So what niche are you going for? What type of store is this? What type of products are you going to sell here? Now, if it's a general store, just go with none of the above. But if you have a specific niche that you're going for, like for example, technological gadgets, then in this case, I'm going to go ahead and click on Tech, because here, Hatchful is going to help me generate a logo according to the information that we provide. So I clicked on Tech and I'm going to click on Next. Choose your visual style. So if you have a style here, a specific design, this isn't how your logo is going to look at the end, but this is going to give you a good indication of how your logo design will look. So if there's anything here that you identify with, that you feel connected with, that you want your logo to be based around that, you can choose one of the designs from here. And if you don't like any of them, go with none of the above. In this case, because it's a tech store, I'm going to go with something futuristic and I'm going to click on Next. Now we want a business name. So this was my old business. Now let's create a new one. So because we are going for tech gadgets, I'm going to go for a name like tech gadgets are us. And you can also add a slogan. Some generated logos will support it and some won't for all tech lovers. Okay, then we're going to go ahead and click on Next. Tell us where the logo will be used. Either you're going to have it on your online store website, or maybe you want it for your social media channels. Maybe you also want to be able to print it. Maybe you also want to have business cards. You can choose one multiple, all of the above, or none of the above. So choose the right option. In this case, I'm going to go with online store and also social media. And I'm going to click on Next. That's all there is to it. So as soon as I clicked on Next, it took less than a second. And here are the logos that we have. So these are futuristic logos with tech gadgets are us. Now, if you like any of them, you can click on it to begin the editing process. And if you don't like it, go back and change some of the pre made settings. In this case, since I went for something futuristic, this one actually pretty much answers what I'm looking for. And now what we'll be able to do is edit our logos. If we don't like the colors, if we want to add other text, and anything else. So here we go, you can change your business name and the slogan, which we already wrote in advance. So that is what we're seeing here. And here, then we've got the funds. So the funds for the text, and we can preview any of them before continuing. So you can just continue clicking on each of them one by one, and see which one you like the most. I'm going to stick with this one. Then we're going to go with colors. So if I don't like the purple theme, I can go with something else, like maybe the turquoise one, the greenish one, maybe a gray one. I actually like this one. Tech gadgets are us for all tech lovers took me, I think less than two minutes to create congratulations on your new logo, download your free logos. Now that really is all there is to it. So here included in all this logo package that they will send to my email, I will have a high resolution logo with unlimited revisions. A favicon, which I went over is the icons that we see on top of the Chrome browser, a Facebook profile image. So for my Facebook page for tech gadgets are us, I'm also going to use that logo and a Facebook cover photo two different variations of it to also add as you cover photo on Facebook and Instagram profile image. So also for my Instagram business page, I'm going to add this logo there, a Twitter profile image, same goes for Twitter, a Twitter banner, just like the Facebook cover image, a Pinterest profile image and a banner there too, along with LinkedIn profile image and banner and a YouTube profile image. Now if that is not enough for a free logo maker that you can create in under two minutes, I don't know what is as I mentioned, this is more than enough for getting started, especially when you're in the beginning of your journey. So I went on and clicked on download. This is my old one, by the way, if you've been watching my older videos, you know about doggy dog club for all dog lovers. And that is for when I created the Shopify store with our free Shopify course that you can find on auto DS.com hover over resources and you have the drop shipping courses there. But that is not what we are here to talk about. Check out tech lovers. I want this one. So I'm going to click on download. And now they're going to send it to my email address. Here's my email, hatch full your files already download, hatch full, export all zip. So I'm going to click on that. And here's the download process already complete. I'm going to click on it. And here is that folder. So here's the zip file with all of the logos that I got really easily. So I'm going to click on one of them. This is the Facebook cover photo. And you can see it right here. Let's try the transparent logo. And here's the transparent one. Let's try the regular logo. Here you go. And you have the rest of the files here. So that is how simple and easy it is to create a free, unique and good looking logo for your ecommerce business. In the previous lesson, you learned how to create your very own logo for your brand. And in this lesson, you are going to learn how to create a theme, which is the whole visualization concept and effect around your store. Now there are paid themes and there are free themes. And you can definitely take my word for it. The free themes are more than enough to create a professional looking store and start generating sales and profit. You don't need to start with pay themes, just like how you didn't have to hire anyone to create your logo. Same goes for the store theme. You can have it done totally professional and you don't have to pay a dime. Once again, when you start generating sales and you start having some profits in your store, you can use that money to invest on things like store themes, paid apps to convert more sales and so forth. So let's head over to your Shopify store, click on online store, click on themes.  And here you have some free themes, which is once again, more than enough to get started. As you can see, each theme looks a little bit different from the next. For example, here you have the menu on the left and the photos on the right. Here you have a banner on the top and the products on the bottom Shopify's default theme is the debut theme. And once again, this default theme is more than enough. But if you want to choose a different theme, simply click on it. Here you can read about its features, you can choose different styles for the theme. And after you choose your style, simply click on add to theme library. Now you can see that it's adding the simple theme, but it didn't activate it yet. In order to activate it, simply wait for it to load. Now you have to click on actions and publish. Now it's asking you if you're sure that you want to publish it instead of the debut regular default theme. Once again, click on publish. And that's it, your theme is published. And now your store will be going with that simple theme instead of the debut theme. Now the themes are totally customizable inside. So just because you chose a theme doesn't mean that this is where it ends. You can always change the current theme, and you can always customize the theme that you're working on.  And once again, the free themes are enough. Your assignment before heading on to the next lesson is to choose a theme that you liked for your store, apply it to your store by using the publish option. And I'll see you in the next lesson where you will finally add products to your store. In the previous lessons, you learned how to create your very own unique store logo and locate and apply your very own Shopify store theme. In this lesson, you're going to learn about a dropshipping tool that will help grow your business. And the reason that you need a dropshipping tool is because it helps automate many of your daily tasks. So you can save a lot of time and use that time to invest in growing scaling and multiplying your success in your dropshipping business. It's only a matter of time before your store starts to grow. And you and your employees simply won't have enough time in the day to take care of all of the important tasks and also grow your business at the same time. If you're in it for the long run, and you want to fulfill your store's full potential, you have to use a dropshipping tool. And it's better to connect to a dropshipping tool before you start adding products to your store and before you start running your store in general. Therefore, I would like to introduce you to AutoDS for Shopify. AutoDS has been around for a few years now, helping automate thousands of dropshippers businesses and simply scale their way to success. Now you can enjoy the features and benefits of AutoDS while running your Shopify stores. You will enjoy such features and benefits as price and stock monitoring. So you won't have to worry about prices changing at your supplier. AutoDS will change the price accordingly at your store. And you won't have to worry about your supplier running out of stock because AutoDS will change the stock in your store too. You'll also enjoy the one click importer where you can import products in just one click from your suppliers to your store, optimized and ready to go. On top of that, you'll also have automatic order fulfillment. So you won't have to worry about logging into your supplier's site and purchasing the product to your customer's address and hoping that the price didn't change anywhere in the middle. You'll also enjoy automatic tracking number updates. Therefore, your customers will always be able to track their packages and they'll be updated as soon as possible once their tracking information is available. And AutoDS also supports over 10 suppliers that you can work with starting now, including Amazon, Aliexpress, Banggood, Walmart, Home Depot, Wayfair, Costco, Overstock, Costway, Etsy, Lowe's, eBay, Target, CJ Dropshipping, Gearbest and more. That's already 15 suppliers and we're always working hard and adding more so you can differentiate yourself from the competition and have an advantage over everyone else. So I hope that by now you understand the importance of having a dropshipping tool. And in the next lesson, we are going to connect your Shopify store with AutoDS. Trust me, you're going to enjoy this. See you in the next lesson. Okay, so you're ready to invest in the long term success of your dropshipping business. And now we are going to connect your Shopify store to AutoDS. The first thing that you need to do is head over to that resources PDF that you have for this course. Over there, you'll find a link called register to AutoDS for Shopify. Click on that link and you'll be taken to this page that we have over here. Now click on the start button over here and wait for the welcome to AutoDS pop up to show up. So the first thing that you need to do is enter your email address, click on continue, enter your full name and your password and then choose which platform you would like to sell on. And now since we're obviously talking about the Shopify platform, we're just going to leave it as it is and go ahead and click on that sign up button. Now you have to choose a payment plan for your AutoDS subscription after your seven day free trial is over. So choose whether you want to go with PayPal or credit card, enter your details and continue to the next screen. Once you're done filling in your payment details, congratulations, you're in. Now on the left side, click on add store and here enter your store's web address. Now it's not referring to the domain name that you purchased, but rather to your Shopify web address before you purchase your own domain name. So we're just going to copy the web address. In my case, it's pet shop discounts dot my Shopify.com. So we're just going to copy and paste that address over here without the slash in the end. And then you're going to click on add store. Now it automatically took me to install the AutoDS app on my Shopify store. So I'm just going to go ahead and click on install app. Now as you can see here on the left side, my shop was added to AutoDS. So my Shopify store is now connected to the AutoDS platform. And here you have your brand new dashboard, which is ready and waiting to be worked on. Your assignment for this lesson is to connect your Shopify store to the AutoDS platform. And I'll see you in the next lesson where you will finally add a product to your store using the wonderful benefits and features that we have on the AutoDS platform. Good job on making it this far and I'll see you in the next lesson. In the previous lesson, you'll learn how to connect your Shopify store to the AutoDS platform. In this lesson, you will learn about the one click importer where you can simply import products from any one of your suppliers in just one click to your Shopify stores. So let's get to it. The first thing that you need to do is download an extension called the AutoDS helper Chrome extension. You have the link to it in the resources PDF that you have for this course. Once you click on the link, you'll be taken to this page where you can install the AutoDS Chrome helper extension by clicking on the install button on the right. Once you do that, go ahead and open up that product research dropshipping spreadsheet that we worked on a few lessons ago. Now the last thing that we did here is we narrow down the products to the products that have the most potential of being our next winners. So we're going to choose one product out of the four or five products that you saved. So I'm going to start with this one, the double retractable dog leash for two dogs. Simply click on that source link that you added in that Excel file. And here we have the product. Now, as you see an import to AutoDS link showed up over here above the title. This link is from the AutoDS extension that we installed. So all you need to do now is click on that import to AutoDS button and give it just a few seconds. There we go. Once it turned orange, you know that it already imported this product to your store. Let's go ahead and have a look. So here is the AutoDS platform where you connected your Shopify store to. Now if you look on the left side, you'll notice a number one next to the drafts. If you click on it, you'll see that the number one refers to that one product that we just imported to our store using that one mouse click. Now there are a couple of more methods to adding products to your stores. And if you click on add products on the left side, you will see those options. And you can go ahead and choose which option suits you best. Here you can enter the products web address or the product ID. So for example, if I want to import this product to my store too, I'm just going to copy the whole product link. And I'm going to paste it over here and separate each product with a line break. And then you can add as many products as you want this way. This is one way to do it. Another way to do it would be by uploading a CSV file, but I'm not going to go over these options now. If you guys want to learn more about these options, you can check out our Shopify technical page where you have all of the knowledge base and all of the tutorials on everything that you might need for every option that you have on this platform. So those are the ways to add more products to your stores. Now the drafts page is where you can work on all of your products before importing them to your store.  But once again, before we import them to our stores, we want to optimize our products and that is exactly what we are going to do on the next lesson. Your assignment for this lesson is to add those products to your stores using the one click importer from the auto DS Chrome helper extension. So once again, simply head over to your product research spreadsheet, open the source links, click on the import to auto DS button and watch how all of the products show up in your drafts page. Once you do that, I'll see you in the next lesson where once again, we will start optimizing your product pages. See you in the next lesson in the previous lesson, you learn how to import products to your store using the auto DS platform to help optimize and automate the process. In this lesson, you are going to learn how to create a powerful product page which will help you convert one time viewers into buyers. Now, for those of you who don't know, the product page is a very, very important page which showcases your product. This is the page where the viewer will view the product and decide if he wants to click on that add to card and proceed with a checkout process. Therefore, it's very crucial to know how to create a very good converting and powerful product page. Also, don't forget that in a few lessons from now, when you will finally learn how to create your own Facebook ads, you are going to target your ads to the product page and not to your homepage or any other page. So, let's go ahead and get started. In the previous lesson, your assignment was to add those products from the product research spreadsheet and import them to your stores using auto DS. Now that that's done, let's head over to the platform and on the left side, click on drafts and here we have that product from the previous lesson. You should be seeing your products from the product research spreadsheet. Let me just add another product just for the variety. This time, instead of using the import to auto DS, I'm going to show you the second method where you just copy the web address, click on add products and simply paste it over here. Now just simply click on next and keep clicking on next until you get to the last option. Add as a draft instead of publish it straight to your store. Here we go. Here it is. Very quick and very efficient. So now we have two products in our drafts page. Now let's start optimizing them and import them to our stores. Click on the arrow that you see over here to begin the edit process. You can also do it on multiple items at once. So let's start with this one, the two dog reflective retractable pet leash. So first of all, let's work on the product's title because at this point it's copied just as we saw it on the source site. I'm going to start off by deleting the brand name. Two dog reflective retractable pet leash. This is a product feature which we don't need in the title at this point. Two dogs each up to 50 pounds. That's more technical information that we do not need at the title at this point. Reflective orange green leads, do a lock. Let's see if there's anything else that we can add to the title. So it has an untangling mechanism. So let's just add tango free. Okay. And this title looks good. Now let's move on to the next tab. We have collections. So on Shopify, you can add your products to certain collections and then showcase those collections anywhere you want on your website. So in this case, I will just add it to the homepage collection. In the next lesson, we're going to go over the homepage and you'll have a clear picture of what's going on. Now the product tags is an important feature where you will be able to tag your products and then you'll be able to later on come back and see exactly how those products performed. For example, since we're in the pet niche, let's create a tag for pets.  So I also want to check out how the dog leashes are going for me in my store. So let's create another tag called dog leash. Next, choose your shipping method. So AutoDS will know exactly how to price this product for you. So I'm going to go with the cheapest with tracking because providing tracking information is very important for your own protection. Next, in the country location, choose which country this product is being shipped from. So since in this case, I went with Amazon US, I'm going to keep it in the United States. And here you have to choose the city location which connects to the country location which the product is being shipped from. If you don't know the city location, you can just leave it as it is. Just make sure that the country location is correct because you don't want customers complaining that you said that the product is going to be shipped from the US. And at the end, they're going to see from the tracking information that it's being shipped from China. So just make sure that the country location is correct. And moving on to the brand. You can choose if you want the customer to see the brand's name. And if you don't want the customer to see the brand's name, you can just change it, for example, to branded, since it's a small brand and nobody's going to go and look for that specific brand anyway. But that's just another way to do it. And here on the bottom, stock monitoring is enabled, price monitoring is enabled, and auto ordering is enabled. So that's it for the products tab. Now we're going to move on to the products description. And here is where you have to get creative. Now for starting off, AutoDS took all of the products description from the source site, as we can see it over here on the right side. So all of the products description that you see over here is exactly what we can see here on the products page. But we're not going to leave it exactly like this because once again, we want professional product pages. And it's not that there's nothing not professional with Amazon's product descriptions, but you simply do not want to work in a copy and paste form. This is not smart for the dropshipping business model. I've seen many dropshippers who just copy and paste the product descriptions without going over them. And it just doesn't look good. And I really doubt that they're making any good sales this way. So here's the product description that we already have. Let's just go over it really quick and see what we can improve. Okay, so I wrote a product description. I made bullet points that are similar to the bullet points that already existed. I simply wrote them in my own words and made it sound a little bit more convincing. So that's pretty much what you need to do in the product page. Keep in mind that you have to use your creative mind in the product page to convince the customer why he needs to buy this product and what problem it solves. So let's see the opening line. The struggle of walking two dogs with two separate leashes is over. No more tangles, no more hassle. With this dual dog leash, you have full control over each dog. Your dogs have the freedom to enjoy their walk and you have an extra hand to help you open doors or hold your umbrella. This is the problem that it's solving for many, many people. When they're walking two dogs with two separate leashes, they have no hands available to help them with anything that they may need. Practical, convenient, cheaper than having two separate leashes and much more comfortable. Join the thousands of satisfied customers who are enjoying their dual dog leash and their pets. Then you have the bullet points which are showing all of the product's features. I will delete the bullet points that the supplier wrote since we already have our own much more convincing bullet points. And don't forget to add the product specifications. Every specification that you have from the supplier page, make sure that you're adding it to the product page because most viewers have questions that they may want to ask and when you enter those questions in advance, they won't have to bother reaching out to you and most of them won't reach out to you. They'll simply move on to the next competitor. So make sure that you're adding all of the information that you have possible from your source page. Now let's go to our source page and see if we missed out anything that might be relevant. So we have the product's title, we have bullet points, we have a good converting product description. All of the features that we're seeing here, 360 degree technology, control each leash individually, color coded, reflective, up to 50 pounds each dog, 10 foot length each one, and a soft and comfortable handle. So all of these features, I already have it on the product page. And here is a converting product description in words which we already did also. So there's nothing left to be added. The product description is on point. Make sure that you're going through all of the text options that you have available to change up the text, the sizes, make some words bald, italic, underlined and so forth. You can even add links and images and videos to your product page. And I definitely encourage you guys to add product videos and gifts if you have them available. Because on Shopify, it's super easy to add product videos to your product pages. But more importantly, it's playing a crucial role in convincing the viewer to buy this product. But don't worry, you're going to learn all about product videos soon. I'm going to teach you guys how to create your own videos for your products. And then we'll also add them to the product page. So let's skip that for now. Next, you have your product variants. So since there's only one variant here, we're just going to go with that one and click on edit. And here you can change the products quantity, the break even, which is how many fees you're paying for this product. You have to make sure that you know exactly how many fees you're paying. It depends which platform you're selling on, which in this case, it's Shopify. And it also depends on your payment providers. And if you want to know how much fees you're currently paying, simply head over to Shopify, click on settings and payment providers, and you'll be able to see your third party payment providers over here. And also check out your Shopify subscription, where here you can see our Shopify payments. The subscription that you chose will show you the transaction fees that you're paying for that current subscription, as you can see over here. So calculate your break even added to the break even line over here. Next, you can choose the price that you want to sell for. And if you don't know exactly how much you're going to profit, that's exactly why you have your break even. So AutoDS knows that if the product costs $32.24. And on that, you have to add another 17% because that's your break even fees, then your total profit will be $3.52. If you're selling for $43.09. So for example, on this product, I want to make 20% profit and another 30 cents, because that's another fee that PayPal takes from me, which is not counted in the break even percentage. So in order to make 20% profit, I need to sell this product for $46.97. My total profit will be $6.75. And I have no problem with that whatsoever. Here you can choose if you want to include the shipping price inside the product sell price. So let's keep it as it is, and click on save. So now we've priced out our variant, and we're making exactly the profit that we want to make. Now let's move on to the images. And here are the options that you have for each image. First, you can add more images by clicking the plus button. And if you hover over each image, you'll have the option to copy this image, which means make another copy of this image on the product page. You can rotate it if it's not straight. You can flip the image, which means make a mirror flip like this. And you can add a watermark if you have one, and you don't want people to steal your product images. Now, if you want a different picture to be your main image, it's also no problem. Simply hover over it and click set as main image. So that's pretty much it when it comes to product images. In this case, I'm not going to change the image. I'm going to keep it as it is, and we're going to move on.  Now, as you can see here, Autodesk took the item specifics from the source page and added it over here. So it's already saving you guys a lot of time from going to your sources page and trying to find that information. It has the exact dimensions and the product's weight. And if you have any more information on the product, which isn't showing up on the product's item specifics, you can simply add more specifics by clicking on add item, enter the exact specific that you want to write, for example, color. And in the description, you can write black, green, and red, because it's a combination of all three colors. Click on add. And that's it. You can edit each item specific one by one, delete them one by one, or edit all of them at the same time. As you can see here, edit whatever you want, finish editing, or cancel editing. So once we're done filling in all of these columns, we know that our product is ready to be published to our stores. So the next step is to simply click on save, just to make sure that nothing will be changed or deleted. And now click on the import button. Now what AutoDS is doing is it's taking the product from the draft page over here on the left, and it's going to move it to the products page. There we go, that is done. Now if we click on the products page, here it is. Now this means that AutoDS is monitoring this product, it's monitoring the stock, it's monitoring the prices. But more than that, the product is now live on your store, and viewers can already go in and start buying this product because they see it available in your store, not that they can yet because you're probably still under your free trial, and you didn't open any Shopify subscription yet, but once you do, your store will be live, and this product will be live inside that store. So now that the product is live on our stores, let's head over to Shopify and check it out from there. So here you have your Shopify dashboard, click on products on the left side, and here as you can see the product is available. The status is active, which means it's alive, and people can go in and buy it. If you click on it, you'll be taken to the product editing page through Shopify. And here on the top right, go ahead and click on more actions and preview to get a glimpse of how the product page looks like.  Going over everything that the product does and the problem that it solves. Don't worry about how everything else looks. For example, the logo and the banner and the links on the side. This is just a rough draft of your first product. What's important is to nail down all of the important things, a good title, high quality photos, and a good description which goes over everything. As you can see, AutoDS did all of this work for us. We didn't have to use Shopify's platform. Everything was done through AutoDS. And that's how simple it is to create your own product page with the help of the AutoDS platform which helps you automate and optimize your product page without you having to do all of the hard work. All you have to do is be creative, know exactly what problem your product solves, make sure that it's written out really well in your product description, ma
