This section explains what dropshipping is and walks through creating a Shopify store with AI assistance. It covers account setup, theme selection, store publishing, and basic customization inside Shopify.
of idea of what Drop Shipping actually is and why you need a Shopify store Drop Shipping is essentially when you are selling products that you are not actually touching yourself it's your building store and then when someone actuallybuys a product on your website your supplier is going to fulfill that and ship it directly to them so essentially you do not need to carry any inventory and this is why it's such a great first business tostart the store of course is where people purchase your products so it's very important and I'm going to show you guys how to actually use AI to build your store right now in just a few minutes so thefirst thing you're going to do is click on the link down below it's store.a/ char-chang and that's going to take you to this exact landing page which allows you to get your free online store the landing page is going to look something like this and what you're going to do is come
here to build my free store and click on this the first step is to enter in your email so I'm going to go ahead and do that right here and we'll click create your free account so now thefirst step is picking a niche we'll dive a little bit deeper into actually picking your Niche later on but for now just select something we'll go ahead and get started I'm going to select home and Outdoors and we'llclick next pick a color you can change your Niche at any time later on yours might look a little bit different depending on what options you select but I'm just going to go ahead and select this blue onenext we will pick a banner style so there are a few to choose from I'll click on this one just to see what it looks like I think that looks fine but of course you can look through the
other ones we'll click next Shopify account and now what we're going to do is claim our Shopify store so we'll click on this button right here and basically I need to follow these steps so the first thing you'regoing to do is click on this button right here the register on Shopify button it's going to open up Shopify in a new tab then we'll enter in our information and actually create a Shopify account we will thenchoose a plan and I'll show you guys which one to choose we're going to go with the cheapest basic monthly plan and don't worry there is a free trial and after that we're going to return to this tabso I'll click on register on Shopify now it's very important that you guys click on that link cuz you will get this exclusive trial for Shopify I'll enter in my email and click Start free trial we'll set a
password click Shopify account we'll then select an online store right here click next feel free to answer the questions however you want I'll just say I'll decide later now we have the option to choose between three different plansnow this is basically the only thing you need to pay for and you'll need to pay for this anyways regardless of what method you use because trust me Shopify is the gold standard it's what everyone uses to startDrop Shipping and of course it's what I used as well so we'll go ahead and click on try basic we'll then enter in our credit card information and we'll click on subscribe so after we do that it's goingto take us to our Shopify dashboard and now what we're going to do is go back to that previous tab we had we'll now click on this button right here next Shopify link it's going to ask us to
confirm that we have our Shopify plan we'll say I have activated now what we're going to do is go back to that Shopify tab we're going to copy this URL right here we're going to add that here copyand paste click save and then next we're going to click on this button right here to get our winning products to get these winning products what we're going to do is activate Zen drop this is my favorite DropShipping fulfillment tool so we'll click on this this is going to open up a new tab for us and now what we're going to do is click on install make sure to click on this install button right hereand then we'll click on approve here Z drop has a free plan to use and essentially this is going to allow you to actually sell products and fulfill them to your customers but yeah don't worry I'll show you
guys how to use this later on so now let's go back to our original Tab and we're going to go click on this button right here to go to the next step now they're essentially going to use AIto build our store for us all we need to do is click on this button and this is going to take maybe 1 to 2 minutes the great thing with this is that with this store build you're goingto get 10 winning products preloaded into your store and you're also going to get a custom developed Shopify theme that usually costs $200 everything is also designed by professionals to actually convert your customers and so yeah usually thiswould take a lot of time for you guys to build manually so that's why I highly recommend going this route it is super super important that you guys sign up for that $1 Shopify trial otherwise you're not going
to actually receive your store so essentially it's just that $1 that's all it takes to go live with your store so now you can see that our store is done what I'm going to do is click on accessShopify and publish we're going to come here make sure you have a business address provided so this can just be your home address for now after that you're going to come here to click on remove password and nowyour online store is going to be open to everyone we're going to go back to our original tab click on next if you want some free Tik Tok ad credits they're going to give you some right here butfor now I don't think it's that necessary you guys can claim these Tik Tok ad credits later on and don't worry we will talk about how you can actually run ads to your store cool so now that we
have our store published let me go ahead and show you what it looks like so if we click on this button right here view your store it's going to open up a new tab and essentially this is whatour store looks like we can do a bunch of different customizations we can change the style as well we can add different sections to our homepage essentially the AI Builder built us a great foundation and if you clickon any of these Pages for example let's say this one this is a very high converting landing page we have big pictures we have these prominent buttons right here and yeah just a great start for our store ifyou come back here to the Shopify dashboard I'm going to quickly take you guys through this I will say don't spend too much time actually customizing your store and making it exactly how you want it this was a
big mistake that I made when I started I didn't actually focus on the more important things like marketing so yeah just be aware of that over here on the left we have a bunch of different tabs so onceyou start making orders you can come here and see what orders there are that are active you can also create orders manually you can check out your products in the products tab so these are the 10 popular productsthat were pre-loaded into our store we can create different collections we can check out our inventory ventory we can create gift cards you can also check out your customers here we can check out all the content so theseare going to be like files and menus for our store the finance tab is where you're going to want to set up Shopify payments of course tons and tons of information on the back end with analytics you can
also do some of your marketing within Shopify and you can set discounts for your clients now if we want to actually edit our online store what we'll do is click on this we can change our theme at anypoint but I do just recommend using the Zen drop theme like I said this is a professionally built theme that is meant for conversions it's also a $200 value that you guys got for free so definitely keep thatbut yeah there are tons and tons of other themes if you want Shopify is pretty powerful when it comes to free themes so at any point if you do want to switch it up feel free to go throughthese themes they also have paid ones as well and you can add it to your account now notice on the left we can also go to our blog posts we can add or delete different pages we can change
our navigation and we can change our preferences but for now I'm going to click on customize right here and the Shopify Builder is quite easy to use it's very intuitive there's anything that you basically want to change you'rejust going to click on it so for example if I want to change this image Banner right here I'll click on this select the image that I want to put and yes there are a ton of free imagesthat you can use we can change the banner height we can change the overlay opacity we can change the alignment animations how it looks on mobile and you can also do custom CSS here let's say I want tochange the text I'll basically click on this column right here come here ADD test we can change this as well we can change the icon if you'd like to add a SE section what you guys can do is
come here click on this plus button it's going to pull up a bunch of different sections that we can add to our homepage for example we can add this Rich Text section that's going to insert that right hereif at any point you want to delete the section we'll just come here to remove a section and feel free to just play around with this it's very very easy to learn and if you don't want to clickon things over here you can also go directly to them in this section over here if you come here to settings what you can do is change your logo we can change all the different colors the typography thelayout animations we can change how the buttons look we can add our social media Pages we can change how the cart looks and we can also do custom CSS so feel free to play around this for a little
bit make sure to check out what your store looks like on mobile because this is very important a lot of your sales will probably come from the mobile browser so you do want to make sure that it looksgood but if you don't do too many changes to the pre-built theme it's going to look pretty solid once you're done with this you'll just click on Save that's going to save your store and make the new version
The speaker explains how to choose a profitable niche and identify products with demand, margin, and long-term potential. He demonstrates product research using TikTok Creative Center, Facebook Ads Library, Google Trends, Amazon, and review analysis.
available for your customers to see so step two is to actually find your need and find products that work you might be wondering I already got 10 popular products pre-loaded onto my store why do I need to actuallypick a niche and choose other products well those pre-load products are a great starting point but if you're trying to build a long-term business you will need to focus on a particular Niche and you will need to findyour own products as well yes you can absolutely get started with those preload products and start selling them but yeah I want to teach you the long-term strategy and that involves being very specific in what you choose foryour Niche and your products whenever someone asks me hey Charlie I want to build a Shopify Drop Shipping Store but I don't know what Niche to do what should I do my answer is always going to be focus
on a niche that balances three different things passion so something that you actually care about demand something that people actually want and then three it needs to actually make money and trust me there are a lot of productsout there that you might think are awesome to sell but there is no money in that and of course we have to sustain the business we do need to make money while trending products can be good I reallylike focusing on Evergreen longterm products these are products that will keep selling for many many years they actually help people solve a very specific problem you also want to avoid overly saturated niches unless you actually have a reallybig USP which is unique selling proposition there has to be something that is very very different about you and your product which makes it stand out in a seat of competition now in terms of brainstorming there are a
lot of things you can do right now yes you can actually look at what other people are selling and get a ton of information from that they can also Inspire us and help us brainstorm for our own storeif you go to the Tik Tok creative Center there's a lot of information we can get from here so if we scroll down here we can see some of the top performing ads on Tik Tok a lot ofthe time these ads are going to be selling Drop Shipping products so it's a great way to get inspiration you can also see what's hot on Tik Tok so we can sort by hashtag by different songs creators orTik Tok videos if you come up here to the top and go to inspiration we'll click on top ads this is a great way to look at the best performing ads in your country so I'm in the US
so I'll have that selected we can also filter down by industry so we can get pretty specific let's do something like household products select all we can select by objective so we can do something like product sales we'regoing to choose last 30 days because of course we want something that is up to date we don't want stuff that worked you know maybe a year or two ago we want stuff that works currently you can alsochoose add language and stuff if you want but I'm just going to leave those as is okay so you can see we got a little bit too specific maybe so let's actually remove this one here we can seewhat's doing really well so maybe this one right here it's going to take us to this page where we can actually watch the ad okay looks like a keyboard cleaner I can see why this did extremely well it's
going to give us information about it the ad performance we can see some analytics over here like clickthrough rates CVR which is conversion rate clicks and some other stuff it's also going to recommend other similar videos for youand this is a fantastic way to see what other people are advertising and seeing what campaigns actually work another great way is to actually just browse Tik Tok yourself so pretend like you are a consumer scroll through TikTok every once in a while you'll be hit with an ad and see if any of those ads stick out to you or see if it's something that you want to maybe get into another great thing you cando is actually look up Facebook ads so a lot of people don't know this but you can literally see what other people are running for their ad campaigns let's go ahead and search right here so United States ad
category let's do all ads I just searched up clothing let's pick one of these let's just do the first one right here so pat pat I've never heard of them but you can see they are running a tonof different ad campaigns they're AB testing a lot of these and what you can do is click on see ad details and you can see the exact ad see what the link is you can see the multiple versionsof it and of course you can actually click on it and see their website if you want to get inspired by what their actual website looks like a lot of people do not realize how much information they canget just by looking through other people's ads and so I really recommend you guys do this another great tool to use is Google Trends so whenever I want to start something new or sell a product this is one
of the places that I'm going to go to so let's say I search up Sunset lamp we'll select United States let's do the past 90 days and we'll select web search because that's what I care about right nowhere it's going to show us the interest over time and this is why it's so cool you can sort of see if a product is starting to gain interest so as you can see this is a pretty Evergreenproduct it's slightly trending upwards in popularity or interest but we did have a pretty big spike recently this helps show me that there is demand for this particular product it shows me the trend if it's going up orif it's going down or it's stagnant and we can also look at interest by sub regions so different states there's also related topics so these are going to be other things that you can get inspiration from as well
as related queries very similar for example if you're interested in Sunset lamps you might be interested in selling lava lamps or AA lamps these are all things that you can absolutely drop ship another popular item right now isa portable sticker printer so if you look that up right here you can see the interest over time just like before it seems to be most popular in Hawaii and what we can do is actually compare this termwith another term so if we compare two sunset lamp you can see blue is sticker printer it seems to have a lot more interest as of right now compared to the sunset lamp so let's see right here December15th to 21st of 2024 scroll to the very right right here we can see January 12th 18 2025 sticker printer is at 70 interest and sunset lamp is at 27 so that just shows that the sticker printer is
more popular right now this can be a great way to gauge interest currently if you are deciding between two different products it also works if you're deciding between two different niches right we can replace these with two differentniches and basically see those interests over time as well yeah I just want you guys to use some common sense when it comes to picking your Niche and product think about it is it going to be a nicheor product that you actually would buy will it add some type of value to your life if it doesn't then it's going to be a very hard to sell but if it's actually a great product that can reallyhelp someone then that might be your winning product now when you're in the final stages of picking a product one thing that I really recommend doing is find that product for sale on Amazon or Ebay Amazon's probably going
to be better because there's a lot more product review volume there but let's say you are trying to sell a sticker printer I'm going to come here it's very likely that someone else is already selling this product andthat's totally okay so what we're going to do is let's click on for example this one you can see they're selling it here for $23 it seems to be a pretty solid product 4.3 reviews with almost 800 reviewsas of right now and you can see over 4,000 were bought in the last month I want you guys to know that the scale of e-commerce is just insane there are so many people in the world there's somany purchases happening every single day if you can just capture a small small sliver of it you can get insanely Rich from doing that but I'm going to come down here what we can see is some other variations
of similar products and then the most important part is to actually come down here to the reviews and what you're going to do is look at the complaints that people are having this gives us the ability to actuallymake the product better you might in the future create a custom product that fixes these issues you can also see if people just like this product or not right because if the reviews here are great then the peoplethat buy your product from your Drop Shipping Store are also more likely to like it review it and come back to purchase again so this is all just the name of product research there's a lot of research andplanning you guys can do when deciding on your product or Niche and it's definitely worth your time doing so so step number three is our product fulfillment and this is basically where Zen drop comes in if you built
This chapter focuses on product fulfillment through Zendrop and how it connects to the Shopify store. It also covers sourcing products, importing listings, auto-fulfillment, branding options, and Zendrop's AI and academy features.
your store using store build.a like I showed you in the previous section of this video then Zen drop is already going to be installed on your store essentially Zen drop is a product fulfillment platform they offer tons and tons of products thatyou can sell from the catalog you connect those products to your Shopify store when you make a sale zendrop is actually going to fulfill that product for you it's going to go through their warehouse through their shipping they'regoing to handle all that so there really is no fulfillment that you need to do on your own every drop shipper of course needs product fulfillment and Zen drop is my personal favorite now if you already had aShopify store but you still want to install Zen drop I will have a link down below you'll get a special deal there is a free plan but there's also a paid plan which makes a lot of sense for
many people since I already connected Zen drop to my shop if I I store in the start of this video we'll come here to the Zen drop dashboard and let me just show you guys how amazing this softwareis so if we come here to find products we'll be able to browse Zen drop's insanely large catalog of products that we can start selling literally right now here we have some new arrivals if you don't see aparticular product that you want to sell you can always request it basically their product sourcing experts will find the product for you at the lowest price and then they're going to add it to their product catalog so thatyou can sell it this allows you to get in on new new products that might not be selling yet and that can be a huge huge Advantage but up here we can actually search for different products as well
so let's search for sticker printer here we can select where we want it to ship from so I'm just going to leave it as ships from anywhere but of course we can specify if we want it to shipdirectly from the us or if China is okay these I'll just leave as is and we'll click on enter so you can see there are tons and tons of products that match this search term let's say this onelooks kind of cool so I'll click on this you can see that there are pictures already made so once you import this over to your Shopify store you know you don't need to take photos they're all pre-populated foryou here we can see the different variations there's going to be a description that's already written we can see the pricing so let's say this one right here the product cost is $2.40 the shipping is $68 from the
US so that's going to be quite fast and the total product cost is $848 so if I want to add this to my catalog I'm going to click on add to my products you can also order a sampleas well if you want to actually see it in person that can be good and once you add a product it's going to go into this my product tab right here we're going to come here click on reviewand publish it's going to show you the stuff that's going to get imported to your store you can change this description as well if you want look at the different variants remove whatever variants you don't want change anyimages and then once we're good to go we'll click on publish to my store we'll select this and click on confirm so now it's going to go into this tab right here which are the actual products that are
available on our website once this is done publishing it's going to have this linked button like this so it's done and now people can actually buy it I want to emphasize that one great thing about Zen drop isthat they own the supply chain and they can Source any product in the Chinese market so whatever you want to sell they can supply it there's no middlemen and they only work directly with manufacturers so that you canget the best pricing so yeah if you come back here to your store you can see that product we just added is right here and so yeah it's all connected it makes it super super easy coming back hereto Zen drop you can see that there is also zendrop Academy this is a course that dives extremely deep into specific things when it comes to drop shipping if you want to be a really successful drop Shing I
think having this type of mentorship is going to make a huge difference there's also Zen drop AI which is pretty cool if you click on that it's going to take you to this page and essentially creates ad copyfor you so for example let's say this pocket printer that we added let's say we want to create ad copy for it it's going to automatically use AI to generate this copy for us which saves a ton oftime so yeah once it's made you can basically copy and paste it directly to your product listing we can also look at other trending products so you can see if any of these Spark spk your interest if youwant to focus on these for your Niche it's just really really fun to go through there's also this custom branding section which is very very important essentially personalizes your customer experience so when they actually unbox your product they're
going to see a logo and there can be a custom message as well so I definitely recommend filling the section now yeah basically Zen drop is going to handle all the Fulfillment the logistics the customer service when someoneplaces an order you're going to be able to see that in the order section you'll probably want to turn on autof fulfillment right here of course we're going to do this as as well and that's just going tomean that once someone makes the order it's going to be automatically fulfilled yeah Zen drop is basically a mandatory tool when it comes to drop shipping they have three different plans there's the free the pro and the plusif you want to take Drop Shipping extremely seriously I do recommend the plus plan of course you can always absolutely get started with the free plan if you want the plus plan definitely use my exclusive link down below
it's going to save you a ton of money you get order credits and a bunch of other big perks so go ahead spend some time getting familiar with the Zen drop and all the products that they have on
The speaker breaks down marketing into email, organic social media, and paid ads. He shows how to use Omnisend for campaigns and automations, then explains how to build content across platforms and repurpose it for paid advertising.
their catalog and then populate those onto to your store so step four is marketing this is a very very important part and we're going to be breaking it down into multiple sections first is going to be email marketingwhich is something that not that many people talk about because it's not that sexy but this is really where you can achieve some of the highest Roi possible when it comes to marketing strategies and then we'll also talkabout social media and we'll break this down into organic media as well as inorganic slaid media and this is definitely one of the most important things we'll talk about in this video because the truth is without marketing noone's going to know that your store exists and you're not going to make any sales one of my first e-commerce stores actually failed because of lack of marketing so ever since that I told myself marketing is one of
the most important things whatever business I build I'm going to focus on marketing and if I can do that then that's when the business can actually be successful so hopefully this sticks with you I don't want you tomake the same mistakes that I did previously so email marketing is something that I think a lot of people don't realize just how powerful it can be so it's very important to use emails to Market to your existingclients as well as your potential clients and for email marketing my favorite platform to use by far is omnisense I'm just going to spend a little bit of time showing you how this works basically for every $1 spenton email and SMS marketing through their platform they found that their Merchants are making $68 in return so that's a insane Roi and that's why I think email marketing is the thing that not that many people talk about
but that's just because it's not sexy that's why I wanted to talk about it first in this marketing section so I'll have you link down below to my exclusive omnisend link you're going to be able to get afree plan with that link but if you do want a paid one there is going to be a discount for you now Onan is a platform that allows you to build email campaigns have tons and tons of automationsbe able to segment your audience introduce popups and forms to your website and yes it integrates with tons of different apps including Shopify there's a free standard and Pro Plan for most of you guys starting out the freeplan should be good enough but at some point later on you can of course upgrade to the standard or Pro Plan but yeah this is what I use to run my email Automation and I just cannot stress how
important doing emails is for your business this is my go-to for email SMS as well as push notifications and like I said there are tons of e-commerce Integrations so it does integrate with Shopify WordPress ucommerce and more soif you click on the start free button you'll be able to get started without a credit card so what I'm going to do is just sign up with Shopify of course you can use Google or your email we'regoing to click on install right here and that's going to add it to the Shopify store that we just built we'll click on get started and it's going to set up our account now what we can do isset up our brand assets but I'm just going to do that later I'm just going to really quickly run you through this so you can see our store is connected already which is perfect it's going to get all
the contacts and if we come here to campaigns this is basically where we build automated email campaigns so we'll click on create email campaign I'm just going to run through this really quickly you can use AI to generatestuff but you'll basically populate all this information here we'll choose email template I just want to show you guys they have tons and tons of professionally built templates that you can use right away so let's say we wantto use something like this we'll click on preview looks good to me click on choose template and now we can just use their Builder to change the text add images we can add different sections too you can previewand test and then once you're done with that you can also click on Save and choose recipients they also have an AI assistant that helps you write content you'll select all subscribers or you can choose different segments click
on review campaign and then you'll click Send now of course I don't have any subscribers so I can't send it but that's essentially what you can do besides email you can also create email AB tests you can alsodo SMS and you can do push notifications if I come here to automation you can see that I can start and create workflows for example there's the abandoned cart workflow so that's going to Target people that actually putsomething in their cart cart but don't actually check out so we click on preview and start workflows you can see we can turn on abandoned cart and check out workflows for your Shopify store let's say we want togive them a 10% off coupon code on the third email we'll click on this and now you can see these workflows are already active it's already connected to our Shopify store so it just saves you a ton of
time and trust me this is going to make a huge impact on your overall sales and conversions you can see all your automations at any points yeah this is just a super powerful email and SMS Builder I highlyrecommend doing email marketing for your business business and again I'll have a link down below to omnisend for you to check it out this is 100% a long-term strategy and I like to look at it like free moneybeing unlocked essentially it just doesn't make sense not to do it so now let's talk about the social media aspect of marketing which is also extremely important within social media there's organic and there's inorganic so organic essentially meanscontent that you are posting out that you are not paying for ads and inorganic is going to be ads that you create on social media I think that every single drop shipping store owner should be doing organic social
media this is going to be extremely powerful and it's definitely a long-term play as well if you're trying to build an actual brand instead of something that's just super shortterm then you're going to absolutely loving having your ownorganic media pages instead of paying to acquire customers you'll find that people actually are super super warm since they came from your content it costs you zero besides of course the cost of creating content and this can reallyhelp with your margins most of the very successful drop shipping stores out there and just e-commerce stores in general will have pretty big big social media pages so what I recommend doing is build an Instagram page Tik TokPinterest as well as YouTube and post short form media on all of these platforms the great thing is that you can create the content once and then just repurpose it across all these platforms you want to be as
omnipresent as possible now in terms of what types of content you can create this is where you need to get creative what I recommend doing is search for companies that are selling a similar product to the one thatyou are selling and see what they are doing seriously guys you can learn so much from your competition I wouldn't say just copy exactly what they're doing but maybe get inspiration from them do it a little bit betterwhatever it is it's going to really help you out I recommend finding ugc creators to create content maybe have them on a retainer where they create X pieces of content per month for X if you don't want tospend money on this you can absolutely do it for free at the start you can create the content yourself just with your phone and just show the product being used the most important part of the video of course
is going to be the hook so that's the first one to two seconds of the video this is where the viewer is going to decide do I want to keep watching this video or do I want to justkeep scrolling and it's very important that you grab their attention immediately videos like this they don't need to get that many views but they can convert extremely extremely well another thing you can do is actually just give valueto people who may be interested in your type of product so for example you can teach people things in that subject this is going to allow you to build trust with your future audience your future buyers and ifthey get enough value from you they're going to be like okay how can I support this company and that's of course going to increase your conversion rates a lot the best thing is that is that with all this
content that you are creating this ties directly into the inorganic the paid media side of social media so you can take your best performing organic short form media and actually use that for paid ads in terms of paidads I do recommend getting on Tik Tok YouTube ads as well as facebook/ Instagram ads that could be a whole video in of itself but just know that if you want to really scale your business the paid adsway is definitely what you want to do I just love how these go super hand inand because by creating that great short media for your organic Pages you can actually just use that repurpose it for your paid mediaand that's really what everyone does that should be the strategy for you I'd say that yes steps one two and three are important but when it comes to actually making sure your business is successful that stuff is not
as important as the marketing aspect it is very very important that you spend a solid amount of time actually focusing on the marketing because you can have the best product in the world but if no one knows aboutit you won't make any sales unfortunately you can get very craved with your marketing you can not spend any money you can spend money but everything that you do for marketing should result in a huge Roi return on
The final section gives strategic advice on audience research, branding, trend awareness, and handling failures. It ends with answers to common questions about niche selection, pricing, upsells, and whether dropshipping is worth starting.
investment by investing your time or your money marketing is what is going to make your business successful okay so step number five is I'm just going to cover a bunch of final tips I have for you guys aswell as some frequently asked questions my first big tip is you really need to understand your target audience and Achieve product Market fit like we covered in step two the research that you do is extremely extremely useful andif you don't do any research you're going to be at a huge disadvantage basically once you narrow down your Niche and pick something you need to find your audience's core data so this is going be who they actuallyare their age their profession where they live their interest their income what they like what they hate what brands are into and so on by knowing all this information you can really tailor your product to suit them a
lot better for example if you know that your target audience is usually High income earners that means that you can actually charge more it can mean that they want a more premium product rather than something that's the cheapestpossible basically you want to put yourself in their shoes and have basically their mindset if you can really get into their mind that's when you're going to know if your product is going to click with them it's goingto impact what type of impression you want to make on them your social media strategy and a bunch of other stuff the next step I have for you is you want to build a brand experience so consumers theyare getting smarter they don't like seeing one product stores and while this can be a good way to get started and learn I'd say that if you want to build a long-term business this is not the way to
go you really want to build a brand that you are proud of that has a long-term strategy behind it so essentially treat your Drop Shipping Store as a business something that you want to live for 5 10 plusyears rather than a getrich quick scheme and when you go about it this way it's going to take longer right it's going to take more time at the beginning to actually see traction yeah you really need to bepatient with business especially Drop Shipping develop your organic marketing strategy because this is going to help you with your paid media strategy create all your social media Pages do email marketing as well and like I said don't beafraid for it to take a lot of time another big tip I have for you is to stay on top of trends now we covered how to actually do this in step two but I really want to emphasize
this again at the end because if you do not stay on top of Trends then you're going to fall behind the competition it's very very important that you are constantly looking at your competitors seeing what they're doing andtrying to innovate that way e-commerce is a high paac industry and if you do not stay on top of Trends then you are going to fall behind the next thing is that you are going to fail products andit's just part of the game I know that a lot of new entrepreneurs they're going to be quite afraid of failure but take it from someone that's failed a ton it's just part of the game it's going tohappen and it's totally okay I'm actually quite proud of all of my failures because for every single one I learned a lot and it help me succeed in the next thing so it's okay if some of your products
fail right you're going to lose maybe some money on some of them but if you keep doing it I guarantee you you're going to get a banger and you just need one or two bangers to have a verysolid store this repairs into the concept of getting lucky to get lucky you need to stay consistent so I don't know if you've heard of this quote but it's basically volume negates luck three very simple words but havehad a huge impact on me the more volume and consistency you put in the more lucky you're going to get so that essentially negates the luck Factor where most people think luck is out of their control it's actuallyvery much so in your control the only input you need to do is consistent long-term input a very common question I get is what is the most simple way to start Drop Shipping and it's essentially what I talked
about in this video it's exactly the five steps we talked about yeah those tools we talked about this in video those are the only ones you really need and I encourage you not to over complicate you might seeother tools out there that seem you know like they could help you and yes you can add those in the future but at the start focus on the basics focus on the fundamental tools just use the tools thatwe talked about in this video another very common question I get is how important is your Niche does it need to be specific or can it be a bit more broad the short answer is yes it could bea bit more broad but for most people I'd say that you want to focus on a very specific Niche most people should not want to buy a product because if they do then it's too broad these days there
are so conglomerates that have huge catalogs of products they're super broad they have their marketing down and you do not want to compete with them you want to compete with people that are very very specific because I guaranteeyou these huge companies they're not doing that this is a very Surefire way to increase your chances of success so yeah I just highly recommend that you Niche down another question I get is how should I price myproducts and basically the answer to that is you need to price them high enough so that you have some margin for your marketing costs if you're only doing organic marketing of course you don't need to have too muchof a buffer but if you are running paid ads you do need to calculate that and see what you need to price your product at so that you can still make a profit usually it's going to be between
2.5 to 3x your product cost that gives you enough of a margin for you to have a pretty healthy business and another question I get is how can you actually optimize your sales and generate more Revenue per personso that's a little bit more complicated but you guys can do things like product bundles you can introduce order upsells and this should definitely increase your average order value especially when you're doing paid ads where the cost toacquire a customer can be you know pretty significant doing strategies like this to increase the aov is very important and can really make or break your business and the last question we'll cover is should I actually do itmy answer is always going to be yes this does not need to be the thing you do for the rest of your life almost every entrepreneur that I know started doing Drop Shipping or some type of e-commerce it
