What's going on guys? Welcome back to another video. So in this one, I'm going to show you five proven products that are super popular and in demand and trending today right now. As always in this video, I'm going to be showing you the evidence behind why that is the case. I'm also going to be showing you where you can source these products from with fast shipping of either 10 days or less. I'm also going to be showing you what prices to sell these products at to make sure you make a profit. And of course I'm going to be showing you the recommended Facebook ad interests to target as well. So if you are set watching this video now and you want to get started but you're not quite sure what products to sell, make sure you stay tuned all the way until the end and pick the product that stands out the most to you. I can't recommend it enough. Selling a product you have an interest in yourself is so much more advantageous. When it comes to creating ads, when it comes to creating content and writing copy, it's so much more easier to do if you understand and have an interest in the product yourself. So for example, if I was to write some ad copy or a product description about let's say some hair colors, I wouldn't have an absolute clue what to do. But if it was about some sort of golf training aid then I'd be pretty confident I can write a decent copy about that. And so with that being said, thanks for tuning in guys. Hope you enjoyed the video. If you do, please consider dropping a like. And of course, if you want to see more of my videos please consider subscribing as well. Thanks again, and let's jump straight into product number one. So product number one is this turn signal bike light. It looks quite basic, but if I show you the video it's actually a pretty cool product. So if you want all the links in which I'm going to show you in this video, this actual presentation, you can get a copy of this yourself or 100% free. If you do want to get a copy so you have the same access to the same suppliers and prices that I'm going to show you, just make sure you check out the first comment that will be pinned down below. So this is the AliExpress supplier in which I'm talking about. We can see straight away you can actually source this product from many different countries, which means that even if you want to sell this in Europe to the US, Canada, here in the UK, then you can offer a fast shipping. So we have China, US, UK, Spain, Australia and France. The reason I really liked this product and it had to go on this list was the actual video ad itself. So whilst it's quite basic, it actually really nicely demonstrates how good the product actually is. And in a second, I'll get into some extra reasons why behind this is a proven product that will sell in these next few months and why it's super high in popularity right now. So as we can see, there's a little controller which you attach to your handlebars and it allows you to kind of select and trigger different signals on the rear tail light of your bike. So in my opinion, just a really great cost-effective product which genuinely could save somebody from actually being in an accident. Let's go back to the presentation and I'm gonna show you the Google Trends information for the search term of bike life. So the graphs you can see on screen now is for the bike life search time here in the UK 2004 to present. If you wanna check out the information in the country you're in, so if you're watching this video and you're in the US, head over to this link and simply swap out UK for the US. What we can see here is sort of, it's on the kind of incline and if we just kind of go back in history, we can see that it peaks in popularity in October, November and December months. What this shows is now is a great time to get in on this product. Start putting a store together, get some really nice content, some user-generated ads that you can advertise with and really kind of double down and take advantage of Q4 and the upcoming months. Point number three is this product just makes a great gift. Obviously as we come up to Christmas, cycling here in the UK is super popular. Everybody knows a cyclist are either in their family or certainly a friend and because of the price in which you can sell this product at, it definitely fits within that kind of gift price range. Number four, it legitimately solves a valuable problem. As soon as the clocks go back at the end of this month, people are gonna be commuting to work in the dark and from work in the dark, which means it's gonna be more and more people looking for bike lights and because of the special USP that this product has being able to kind of indicate to people behind you which way you're turning, whereas in the dark, they might not necessarily see somebody's arm, but they will see this flashing indicator as it definitely offers a really kind of cost-effective solution to something which potentially could save somebody from being in an accident or even worse. And number five, of course, the cycling niche over here in the UK is super, super passionate. People love cycling and they love to express their opinions, which is great for building up engagement on your ads. So as we just saw, we can source this product for about £8.30. That's delivered, of course. My recommended retail price would be £30 for a really decent bike like this isn't unreasonable. People will pay a lot more for this if it's a really good quality one, which leaves a profit margin of about £21. Don't forget, obviously, if somebody's looking for a rear tail light for their bike, chances are they're probably looking for a front tail light as well, which offers obviously a very straightforward and effective upsell opportunity. In terms of Facebook ad interests, make sure you try and stick to people who have a genuine interest in cycling and chances are we'll be spending money on cycling already. So these will be things like road cycling, cycling clubs. People who are a part of clubs and pain to be part of clubs are obviously super passionate about it and therefore more likely to have a demand for this particular product. Cycling shorts, racing bike, and of course, electric bicycle. I think of products like this could absolutely kill it if you're focusing on specific cities. Product number two are these niche wall clocks. The reason why I like these so much is because there's so many different niche wall clocks. It offers a great opportunity to build a niche store around these particular clocks. And what this allows you to do is essentially test a wide variety of niches without having to constantly rebrand your store. So for example, you could try this gaming clock, which I believe has tons and tons of potential and opportunity. The gaming niche is absolutely ginormous and since COVID it's got even bigger. Pretty much every family I know has a gamer within their family. And a product like this is a great present for any child out there that loves gaming. They would definitely have this on their bedroom wall and therefore it's definitely going to sell as a gift leading up to Christmas. Let's take a look at the supplier. So again, we have the handy link. And once it loads up, we can see the listing on express and we can source this to the UK for about nine pounds. On the right hand side as well, if you check out this actual individual supplier, they don't just sell these gaming clocks. If we go back to our slideshow, there's actual dog versions too, which I've included a link for as well. These will be super powerful, I believe, because you'll be able to target people who own specific dogs. So for example, with this one, it's a dash and clock. If you were to target dash and owners, they would absolutely fall in love with this product because it's a clock that's based around the actual dog that they own. And trust me, there's just nothing better when it comes to selling products to actual dog owners. If we take a look at Google Trends Info too, so we can click this link for it to load up, we can see that it's past history, kind of repeats itself, October, November and December time. So again, October, November, December time. And then of course, last year, October, November and December time. It's just about to kind of reach its peak lowest, if that makes sense. And it's just about now to then absolutely spike in popularity. And essentially it's just gonna be tons and tons of more people looking for gaming gifts for obvious reasons as we lead up to Christmas, Christmas being a time for kids, and gaming of course being really popular with children. Then now is a great time to start selling gaming gifts. When it comes to recommended selling prices, you can source these clocks for in and around sort of nine pounds. I can definitely see somebody paying at least 35 pounds. I did a bit of research into this product. There's other Shopify stores actually retailing it for sort of 40, 50, 60 dollars. So definitely think at 35 pounds, it's a really cheap price. People would see it as a steal and you'd be able to convert people super highly. This leaves a really healthy profit margin of about 26 pounds per sale. Facebook interests are hard to recommend for this one because it depends on which clock you go for, but just try and focus on those interests which are specific to the niche and the actual person you're gonna be targeting. So of course gaming, the latest games, for example, Warzone's really big right now. We have games like Battlefield, Fortnite, which is super popular and just focus on those sorts of things that are relevant today. Product number three is this personalized night light. Now straight away it's a proven seven-figure product. This is a product that featured in one of my store review videos a few weeks ago. It was a Shopify store that was for sale in the exchange marketplace and they made over a million dollars selling this exact product. What's really great about this product is if we take a look at the supplier on AliExpress, we can see that even though it's a personalized product, we can still get 10-day delivery to hit in the UK. Let's take a look at the Google Trends information to see if people are looking for products like this and as we're coming up, we can see that the search term for personalized gifts again spikes at this sort of time in the year. So November with a peak in December, it's repeated again in 2018, repeats again in 2019, and again repeated again in November, December time 2020. So now is the time to start putting yourself in a position to capitalize on this trend that is about to spike in popularity massively. It's a great gift for all ages, which is point number four, obviously you could target anyone from children to actual adults. It's a pretty cool product. I would happily receive a product like this myself to have perhaps somewhere in my office or at home. And it also lends itself to a really powerful marketing strategy, which is user-generated content. If you get a couple of these made for specific influencers that in return for them receiving it for free, they'll produce say two to three pieces of content of them unboxing it and having a really kind of happy reaction to it. Trust me, there's no better way to sell your product and it's guaranteed to sell if you do it in this way. So the cost as we saw is 16 pounds delivered, super fast in 10 days or less. Definitely, definitely could sell this for 40 pounds. I've seen people actually advertising this at $60. I believe the store I looked at was 45 or $50 in and around that price range. So 40 pounds is definitely achievable, which leaves a profit margin of about 24 pounds. Because it is kind of a generic product that applies to everyone, then the Facebook interests I recommend would be personalized gifts. People who have a link to this sort of thing that like buying personalized gifts would definitely be more likely to actually buy something like this for obvious reasons. You can also target personalized products, places like Etsy, which specialize in this sort of thing. Personalization, gift, and of course, online shopping. People who are used to clicking that shop now button on Facebook ads and actually buying a product. Product number four is this trace and draw projector. Straight away, let's go to the AliExpress supply and let me show you exactly how this product works. What's really good about this particular video too is it generally is a good video, which you could use for your ad, which saves you a lot of time and some money too. So it shows you how to assemble the product firstly and then it goes straight into actually showing you how the projector works. So you get these discs, which you put in, you switch the light on and then it projects the actual image down on the whiteboard below and then obviously you get supplied with all the different pens so you can actually use it as a stencil, trace it, image you like and ultimately just the great products for any child. One piece of advice I would do though, is rather than have an adult actually demonstrate how the product works. Definitely look for some influencers on YouTube that perhaps feature their kids unboxing and using different toys or perhaps on Fiverr too.  What's also really good about this supplier is if you want to focus on a US market, you can actually get a shift from the US. However, even if you want to go to the UK, these guys will still offer 10 day delivery to the UK. Point number four is just some really good profit margins with this product, which I'll get into in a second. And then point number five, which I've kind of already touched on already, is the powerful marketing strategy, which is user generated content. There's no better content than showing the end user really enjoying that product because then it comes so much easier for the viewer of your ad to picture themselves or to picture their children enjoying the product as well. In terms of cost then, we just saw we could get it delivered depending on which package you choose for in and around sort of nine pounds to 13 pounds with a selling price, a recommended selling price of 50 pounds. This leads you with an estimated profit margin up in and around 37 pounds. What my advice would be is to use the cheaper kind of package to get people onto your website and then upsell them to the more expensive package. So the upsell could be different stencils to include in the bundle or even more pens as well. In terms of the Facebook targeting for this product, it's a fairly easy one to focus on to be honest because you can target actual parents with children of certain ages. So you can target parents with preschoolers, which is three to five years. You can target parents with children six to eight years. You can target parents all. You can target different toy shops like Toys R Us, Fisher Price. You can also target engaged shoppers, online shopping, toys. The possibilities really are endless when it comes to finding an audience to match this product. The fifth and final product, which I'm excited to show you guys is this Night Lighter, which is also a diffuser. So the reason I really like this product is because there's a different variation which is purely just a night like aspect of this product doesn't diffuse any kind of scent or nothing like that. And it's a proven seven-figure product essentially. And what this does is it takes two separate proven seven-figure products and combines them into one. So let's jump on to AliExpress and take a look at exactly how this product works. The video is okay. It's not great. Obviously do not go anywhere near it if it has Chinese writing on, but you can see effectively how cool the products look and essentially what they do. My advice would be to source buy a couple of these yourself and take some of your own content. Even on an iPhone, it's fine. If you're confident speaking on camera, then definitely do that to save you some time and save yourself some money. All in all though, just a great product and super high in popularity and demand as I'm about to show you now. So again, we can use the links. Don't forget to get yourself a copy of this by checking out the first comment. And we can see the search term for Night Light in the UK 2004 to present. Let's just go back a couple of years. So 2018, it kind of peaks in November, December time. 2019, peaks in October, November, December. Same in 2020. And again, as I record this video now in October, we are almost at peak popularity and this is only gonna continue to grow. So now is the time to start selling this product because it has so much potential. Another reason why it has loads of potential this time of year is of course, it makes a great gift. It fits that kind of price range to be a gift. And it also makes a great gift for a child too. And obviously with Christmas coming up, it's always about the children. People are looking for presents for children. And as I've already mentioned then, it combines two different benefits. So you get kind of like the projector, light, night light aspect. Then you also get the diffuser too, which diffuses a nice smell into the room. When it comes to numbers then behind this product, we saw we can source this for about 10 pounds. A recommended retail price would be 30 pounds. You can definitely sell it at this, which leaves you a profit margin of about 20 pounds, give or take. My recommended interests for targeting this product would be very similar to what we saw with the previous product. So it'd be parents with preschoolers plus parents with kind of children in and around kind of six to eight years old. But even a bit older actually, I'm not a parent myself, so I wouldn't know at what age kind of like a night light wouldn't be used. But on top of this then, you could cross this and narrow your audience down with people who have an interest in LED lamps. Of course, to engage shoppers, those people who are gonna be hitting that shop now, but in this time of year of buying Facebook ads, you can target online shopping and also things like gadgets and gifts as well to make sure you're tagged in and finding those people who are looking for those sorts of things. And with that being said then guys, I'm gonna wrap the video up. If you're still watching with me, thank you very much. I really do appreciate it.
