I'm going to share with you exactly how you can start your own profitable Shopify Drop Shipping Store step by step and if you watch all the way through by the end of this video you'll have your own Shopify store set up and ready to go so that you can start making sales my student made over $10,000 in just one month following this strategy that I'm about to share with you for free in this video so you definitely don't want to miss out now let's move on to the most important step when starting a Drop Shipping business which is figuring out what product to sell personally I would much rather sell a product that will be in demand for the next 3 to 5 years at least that way I can actually build a long-term brand there will always be Products that come and go but why would you want to sell a product that will eventually die that's definitely not a good business plan so focus on selling a product that can do well longterm a product that solves a problem is always great because it's something that people will always need for example this portable makeup box is a great product to sell it has a ton of demand and it's always going to be needed it solves a huge problem as it allows you to do your makeup anywhere on the go which is extremely convenient now you need to understand that marketing is extremely important if you want your business to thrive the easiest way you can get sales is if you can figure out how to create viral videos with your product there are some products out there that are much easier to create viral videos with and some that aren't so easy I recommend you try to find something that you know you can create a bunch of cool videos with for example you could create a bunch of viral videos with this Hair Eraser as you can see their Tik toks have a ton of views lastly you want to make sure your product has a good profit margin try to sell your product for two to three times more than the price you purchase it for now I want to share a product that I found on Tik Tok with you this is an example of an excellent product it's a facial Razer for women it solves a problem and it's a product that you can sell longterm since it's always going to be in demand and importantly you can create viral videos with this product this brand has buil a large following and has a loyal Community they've done a great job at building a long-term brand and that is exactly what you want to do this is personally the approach that I would take now let's move on and talk about how you can actually find good products to sell the first and most efficient way is to use a software that finds winning products for you this will save you a ton of time as you don't have to spend hours and hours scrolling on social media a great software you can use to find winning products is autod DS not only will you use this to find winning products but you can also use this as your supplier which is ideal in order to use autods you'll first need to create a Shopify account so click on the link in the description of this video where it says free Shopify trial and now you can create your Shopify store for just $1 a month for the next 3 months this is honestly an amazing deal now go ahead and insert your email here start free trial okay perfect now your Shopify store is created now what I want you to do is click here on select a plan and you want to pick your Shopify plan and I would just go with the basic plan and then it's only going to cost you $1 a month for the next 3 months which is an amazing deal so go ahead and just add your payment information I'm going to pay with PayPal okay now you just have to click on subscribe okay perfect now you have your Shopify free trial setup the next step is we want to add autod DS to our store so go to the description of this video and where it says autod DS click on that link and now you can start your free trial with autods so go ahead and input your information here you want to sell on Shopify and now you want to start your 30-day free trial it's up to you if you want to start with this one or this one personally I would just go ahead with this one and just go ahead and input your payment information okay now you're in autods and it's going to ask you to connect your Shopify store so go ahead and do that you're going to be redirected here so install login to your Shopify account install app so go to autod DS okay perfect now you can start using autods to find winning products so under Marketplace click on winning products okay perfect now we can look through a ton of winning products this feature is going to save you a ton of time because now you don't actually have to go scroll on social media because they have all the data here for you so I recommend looking through all these products and finding something you like for example this product right here I've actually seen it all over Tik Tok and I think it's doing pretty well and honestly all these products are pretty solid there's some good options here if you want to check them out a lot of these products I've actually seen do well on Tik Tok and so I know a lot of them are good products what you can also do is click here on Tik Tok spy it's actually going to show you viral Tik Tok videos and a lot of these videos have winning products I also want to share another way you can find winning products this is one of my favorite ways as well so what you want to do is go and search Tik Tok creative Center click on this link now scroll down and where it says top ads click on view more and here you can actually look through the top performing Tik Tok ads so what I recommend you do here is just get rid of any region then click objective and then put conversions and now look through all the videos here you're going to find a ton of cool products a lot of them are Drop Shipping products some of them aren't but as you can see a lot of the ones here are Drop Shipping products and what I noticed is a lot of the products I see here were also on autod DS okay so a cool product I found here is this heated lash curler I also saw this in the autod DS winning product section and I do think this is actually a really good product to sell it solves a huge problem it's in demand and you can sell it long term I personally would buy this product and I know it's a good product I've seen it all over Tik Tok and so I think I'm going to go ahead and actually sell this product on my store and if you're not really sure if your product's actually good I recommend searching for it on Tik Tok and if you see a ton of people making videos about it and a lot of the videos have gone viral like this one has over 2.3 million views that's how you know it's a good product there's so much demand for it people are talking about it so yeah this is a great product to sell and I'm going to go ahead and sell this on my Shopify store okay so before I actually find the heated lash curler on autods I want to show you something really cool that you can do with this platform so let's say you find a product and you like it go ahead and click on it and something really cool is they give you this product analysis section so here it's going to tell you how much the product is selling for and how much you can potentially make it even tells you the target audience and it also shows you a Facebook ad and this store is selling this product and you can even see the seller website and use it for your reference I think this is really handy it's always nice to see another store selling your product successfully because it now tells you that you can also sell the product successfully another cool thing about autods if you click back here on Marketplace and you click here on fast shipping it will show you fast shipping products a lot of these products ship within two business days as you can see a lot of customers complain about shipping times so this is no longer going to be an issue anyways now I'm going to go back to Marketplace and just search for my heated lash curler okay there's a ton of options here I'm going to look through them and see one that I like that has fast shipping time and is actually a good price okay so after looking through a few different options I found this one the reason I like this one is because it's actually pretty cheap and shipping time is 10 to 13 business days which is not too bad at all so I'm going to click on import draft okay now if you click here on the draft section what you want to do is just click on import and it's actually going to send the product to your Shopify store okay now once it gets sent to your Shopify store you will see this here so click now on products and as you can see now you are selling the product on your Shopify store so it's not going to cost you much only about $3 to sell this product which is ideal all right now let's say a customer comes on your Shopify store and they purchase this product well you can go to the order section here and their order is going to show up and basically autod DS is going to autof fulfill the order for you and they're going to send it directly to your customer you can even ask for a quote and get much better shipping time with autod Ds and so you're literally done and the customer now gets the product using autods makes Drop Shipping very simple you no longer have to work with other suppliers on AliExpress which is a huge headache but anyways now we want to go back to our Shopify store now on your Shopify store just make sure you refresh it and then click on products okay perfect now you see your product here from autods so let's click on it okay and here we obviously have to do a lot of customization so I'm going to go ahead and just remove everything in this section also going to remove this and it's your choice if you want to use the images that autod DS gives but I prefer to use my own images so I'm just going to go ahead and delete all the images here and what I recommend you do for this section is actually go on your competitor stores and see what they've put because you want to use them as a reference usually what I do is just take what they have and change it up a bit and make it better in my own way for example I found this store selling my product and I like what they've done so I think I'm going to use them as a reference so I'm going to quickly go ahead and just customize this and I'll be back and show you what I've done okay now I'm finally done in this section so first thing I did was added a title this is just the name of the product um what I did is I actually called it lashified heated curler so you're probably thinking where did I get lashified from so I'm actually going to make my store name lashified so it makes sense to call my product that then I added a very brief description here I pretty much just used my competitor's descriptions as a reference I really just explained a summary of the product what it does and here I made sure to put a hook so if you want go ahead and read this and just kind of use it as an example for your own store then what I did here is added high quality images I found a lot of these images on my competitor sites what I recommend you do later on in the future is actually create your own images but when you're first starting out it's okay you can just use images from Google or wherever else okay now here we have to add different variants of the product so there are different colors of this product but I prefer to just sell the black one so I'm going to go ahead and just delete the variants here delete variants okay so now that I've deleted the variants this is what what it looks like so now we have to put the pricing so what I recommend you do for pricing is actually look at your competitor sites I found that a lot of my competitors were selling this for anywhere from $2 to $40 but I want to keep mine on the lower end so I'm going to sell it for $19.99 and the cost per item is only $328 so that's a pretty good profit margin as you can see I'm going to uncheck charge tax on this product just because I don't recommend you get into tax now and I'll talk more about that later as for compare at Price what I recommend you do is actually put a price that's at least $10 more than this price this just tells the customer that you've reduced the price of the product and so they're getting a better deal all right now here where it says inventory again you don't have to worry about that since that's all autod Ds now scroll down where it says this is a physical product you don't really have to put the weight since again autod DS deals with that just make sure everything on this page looks good and if it does go ahead and save it now what I want you to do is come to online store all right so the theme on our store is Dawn I think this one's actually a great theme so I don't really feel the need to add one from here so now click on customize and now we can go ahead and customize our store so up here I want you to click on products then default product and now it's going to bring us to the product page now we still have to do a few things on this page so it looks okay right now but again it does need some customizing so first thing I want you to do is click here on ADD section then I want you to click on collapsible content as you can see this area here is great for frequently asked questions usually when you're selling something customers have a ton of questions and so you want to make sure you add all of them here so I'm going to go ahead and just add a few things here and just so you know how you kind of do this is you click on each row as you can see and in each row you can pretty much just customize it and add whatever you want for example here let's say you want to add the refund policy you can do that so for the first one I'm going to put how to use I know a lot of people are going to be curious on how to use this product so I'm going to make sure I add that information in here here all right so I pretty much just put a quick summary of how you can use the product again you can find all this information on your competitor sites or just on the autods website now I can add a few other frequently asked questions and if you're not sure what to put for your frequently asked questions what I actually recommend you do again is go on your competitor's site see what they're putting they usually do have something like this on their site and they address the most important questions and concerns that customers need to know and so you can just get that information from them but I'm going to go ahead and fill this out with my own information and again if you want to add another one you can just click right here and it just adds as many as you like all right so I'm done here and I pretty much just highlighted the important information that customers want to know and I found a lot of this information on my competitor sites like I said before so what I did was I put how to use it product details benefits tips worldwide shipping and return policy so I actually think it's very important that everyone put the worldwide shipping and the refund policy policy because that's something customers always want to know so for worldwide shipping if you're using autods most likely you have the free worldwide shipping or whatever else it really depends on the product but if you have the you know free worldwide shipping then I would put that regardless when you're Drop Shipping you just want to offer free shipping anyways because usually customers don't like when they have to pay for shipping and usually you're going to get a lower conversion rate because of that now for the refund policy I always put a 30-day refund policy if you don't have this a lot of the time people are hesitant on buying the product and honestly you won't get too many refunds as long as it's a good product so that's just what I put for this section now as you can see for the other sections I did put some important details now one thing I want to do is just click here and then you want to just change this and put FAQ all right so this looks good now we can go ahead and save it now I do want to add a few more images here of the product and just kind of highlight what it does so I'm going to click add section I'm going to click here on collage and I'm just going to remove this and this because I just want to add an image of the product or what it does all right so I found this picture on Google and it's just a before and after and I think it's good it just highlights what the product does again you don't have to do this on your own store but it's just kind of an example I'm going to go ahead and just add one more image as well all right I like the way this looks and I'm just going to go click on this and then remove the text since I don't need it and I do want this to be above the FAQ section all right so this is how my homepage looks right now I think it looks pretty good and there are a few things I just want to do up here so where it says my store right there you want to go ahead and just remove that so right here remove and where it says buy buttons personally I prefer to just remove this just so you can have one clean button that says add to cart and here for share I just want to remove that and then back here on product information so here what I like to usually do is just click on thumbnail I just think this looks cleaner and now I'm just going to go ahead and save this all right I think this actually looks pretty clean so one more thing I want to do is scroll down here where it says footer click on ADD block click menu and just leave it like this for right now this obviously is blank but later on there will be some stuff here now just remove this text here now save you also want to remove this payment icon here so just click on it then on here you want to scroll down then uncheck this and let's save the page now I want you to come here where it says theme settings and now we're going to do a few different things here first thing I want you to do click here on Logo and so yes you have to create your store logo now if you don't already know what you want your store name to be make sure you go ahead and think of something get creative for me my store name is going to be lashified and now I'm going to show you step by step how you can create your own logo now in order to create your logo you do have to use the website canva so if you go to the description of this video you're going to see a link where it says canva free 30-day trial so go ahead and click on that link and so what you want to do is just start your free trial here obviously you can cancel it later on if you don't need it so obviously I already have canva so I'm good but you would just go ahead and fill your information here okay so in your canva account the first thing you want to do click on create a design click on custom size and do 800 by2 create new design okay perfect now you can go ahead and create your logo I'm going to make this very simple you can use your competitors as an example if you want I'm going to add text here I'm just going to write lashified here all right this is what I have so far I'm going to make it as large as I possibly can so it can fit the page now I'm just going to center it all right now I can keep this text or I can change it if I want there's a lot of cool text on canva you can use to spice things up honestly I'm just going to stick with the canvas Sands it looks good in my opinion I'll just make it bold now I'm going to add the color and I think I'm just going to go with this color I might make it a little bit darker though so that's perfect all right there's my logo I know it's it's very simple but this is all I really need for now you can obviously make this a lot better if you want so what you want to do is click on download make the size as large as possible click transparent background and then download now there's one more thing I want you to do click here on the homepage click on create a design again now click on Instagram post so what you have to create now is something called a favicon so a favicon is pretty much that little icon you see here and you obviously don't want want it to just be blank so you want to create something so I'm just going to add a circle in the background I'm going to make this black just going to make this as large as possible to fit the screen okay now I'm going to add a text and literally I'm just going to add the letter L since my store is lashified I'm going to keep this color white then I'm going to make this in the background actually the same color that I made my logo all right this looks good so now I'm just going to download it make it as large as possible transparent background download Lo all right now we can come back to our Shopify store then you can just add the logo here and then add the favicon here okay perfect I added both of them now you do want to make this logo a bit larger make it as large as you like I think I'm going to put it around 230 all right that's perfect all right so there are a few things we do want to customize here so scroll down and where it says social media if you have your social media Pages you can just go ahead and add them here now where it says cart click there I recommend you choose this option here I think it's the cleanest where it says check out click there now make sure you go ahead and just add your logo here let's scroll down now where it says button I recommend you match the button on your store which is just black here so I'm going to just add the color black all right that's perfect now we're all done let's save so we're all done here from the product page next you want to go ahead and just customize the homepage so click on homepage now honestly we're going to keep this very simple I'm just going to add a nice image here in the background so make sure you click on it and then you can just add the image so I just found this random image on a competitor's site so I'm going to be using it for image overlay I'm going to put it to 70 now for the text I'm going to just add something here so I just put get lusious Lashes in minutes now for buttons I'm just going to uncheck this box cuz I prefer it's solid now for the button what you want to do is just redirect it to your one product so I'm going to click on products then click on the product product here now let's say your store is selling multiple products then you could just leave it on products now if we scroll down here you have the featured product section and it just shows the product I'm selling that should be fine you can just leave this and that's all you really have to do for the homepage you're not really going to redirect people to your homepage anyway you're always going to redirect them to your product page so most people won't even see this page all right so we're now done with the homepage so go ahead and just save it now just exit here now I want you to come to the settings where it says profile click edit make sure you add your store name here for your store email I actually recommend you create a new email address one that you do want your customers to contact you at and just so you're organized you do want to have a separate email for your Shopify store update this information here you want to change your store currency to whatever you want I think Us dolls is perfect for me I actually do recommend you put US Dollars anyways because that is the Global Currency that most people recognize and now we're all good from this page now next I want you to click here on payments now you want to activate Shopify payments that way customers can actually check out on your store so just go ahead and add all your information here all right and now it's going to ask you for some more information so make sure you fill out everything here and once you fill out everything just click on complete account setup okay now once you have Shopify payments set up next you can also add PayPal as a payment method so your customers can check out with PayPal so I actually do recommend you set this up here and in order to do do that just click on complete account setup and then go through the process here all right and that's it for the payment section next click on checkout here scroll all the way down where it says marketing options I would just select this option now come to shipping and delivery click right here all right and now you have all your shipping options here now because you are Drop Shipping again I don't recommend you charge shipping this is up to you but the way I would do it is just not charging any shipping so what you want to do is just go ahead and delete every single option in this section then come back down to this section as well and delete everything here and I would also delete this one okay so now you pretty much have no rates so now you have to add a rate for each of these options so click add rate and you want to name it free shipping you're done now do the same thing here for international and then for the us as well okay perfect now you have free shipping for all you're going to have to save it all right now we're done for from this section next click on taxes and duties now I don't want you to worry about taxes at all you don't even want to charge taxes initially the only time you should really worry about taxes is once your store has made let's say $33,000 and maybe you're starting to make a decent amount of money that's when I would actually just contact an accountant and see what they recommend you do and if you should actually start charging tax for your product but there's really no point in worrying about this right now because it does get complicated depending on where you live so just leave this blank next I wanted to click on markets click on this one here just make sure you activate it and we're going to save let's go back to International let's also activate this one and save it and let's just make sure Canada is activated okay that's perfect so now you have these three markets activated so customers from these places can purchase your product next you want to click on domains so now your website URL looks like this which obviously is not nice so you're going to want to purchase a domain so what I recommend is click here buy new domain so what I could buy is lashified doca so this would be my website URL and so if you want to buy it you just click on buy and you go through the process but I'm not going to buy it for now next click on notifications click on customize email templates so you want to go ahead and just add your logo here and for the color you can add whatever you want I'm going to go with black since that's what the button colors on my store are all right so this is what it looks like when a customer purchases a product and they get an email from you so this looks a lot better and on brand so go back here now make sure for the sender email you put the email that you have on your store the email that you want customers to reach you at for example I could have made my email lashified support atgmailcom and also make sure you do verify this email you can just send a verification to your email and then go ahead and do that now next I going to click on policies so now you're going to do the return privacy policy terms of service and shipping policy so what you want to do is actually click on create template for each option here so you're only going to be needing these three so for the return policy I'm going to go ahead and remove most of this okay and that's pretty much all you need it just says you know you have a 30-day return policy and if they want to return they can contact you at your email again always just make sure the email is right all right now we're on the privacy policy what you want to do here is just remove everything that's bolded here in the yellow all right for last update put today's date now just look through here and make sure there's nothing in bolded yellow so if you see anything like this just go ahead and remove it so there's a ton of yellow I'm just going to go ahead and remove everything I see all right at the bottom here I would just remove this section and you can say that people are able to email you just if they have any questions and remove your address as well okay now let's go to terms of service and here as well you want to make sure you remove anything that's in yellow bold if there's nothing you're all good at the bottom I would just go ahead and remove all this this as well you just want to have your email for the contact information and make sure you're using the right email again okay now that you're done here click save all right now let's go to online store then navigation click here on footer menu just go ahead and remove this click add menu and then here you want to search for policies so you want to add all three of these so let's go ahead and add the privacy policy first then we're also going to add the refund policy and then lastly we're going to add the ter terms of service perfect we're going to save this let's go back now and let's click on the main menu now go ahead and remove this home and then catalog I would just click add menu item now if you only have one product like me I would just go ahead and add this product like that there you go and let's make this the first one but let's say you have multiple products on your store what it actually do is just click on products and then click on all products and then I would add that instead of the lashified heat curler but because I only have one product I don't need this so that's all I need here the contact and my product so let's just save the menu now come back to online store click here click edit default theme content search powered and right here you just want to add a space that's it save it all right now we want to go back to our online store now it says your store's password protected but let's go ahead and remove the password now click on customize and we want to make sure store is 100% done just make sure if there's any touchups here you can add them but as you can see here at the bottom we have the privacy policy refund policy in terms of service now there are a few things here we can change like for example up here if you want to have a banner you can but I prefer not to have it and here at the bottom I prefer not to have this so just scroll down and uncheck this box we can also remove the one here as well so come to header scroll down and then just uncheck this option here we can save it so everything everything looks good here let's check the product page as you can see everything here looks good as well and let's check the contact page so if customers have a question they're going to fill this out and contact you so now we're done let's exit out now you want to view your store as a customer so this is what your store looks like homepage is fine let's check out the product page the product page looks clean so you want to act like a customer now and add to cart you want to check out now all right as you can see your checkout page looks pretty clean and if I were you I would actually order your product this way you can see if your product is actually good from autod DS and this way you can make sure everything works out smoothly but now your store is done I think this looks pretty good you can obviously add some more features if you want all right now if you come back to your Shopify store on the homepage of course you'll be able to see your daily sales in the orders section you'll be able to see the orders that come through you can always add more products here if you want and let's say a customer actually does end up purchasing your product you can come here to apps then go to autods let's go to autods all right and again as I said before your orders are going to show up here and then your product will be shipped out directly to your customer and that's pretty much it you're done this makes the whole Drop Shipping process extremely simple for you now that your store is done the next step is marketing marketing is usually the most challenging part for beginners they lose a ton of money on paid advertising as a beginner I don't recommend you run ads especially if you have no marketing experience because likely you will fail luckily I am going to share the marketing strategy that I do recommend you follow in order to be a successful marketer you first have to test out organic marketing this means you have to create your own content and post it on Instagram Tik Tok and Pinterest thankfully this will be free many Drop Shipping businesses start off this way they post a ton of cool content on Tik Tok and other social media platforms and then they're able to experiment and see what works best and what doesn't chances are if you're able to get your product to go viral on Tik Tok organically you'll then eventually be able to run Tik Tok ads and scale even further now here's how you must start this first go on Amazon and order your product sure you can order the product from your store but I prefer Amazon since you can get one-day shipping once you get your product the next step is to create content with it as a beginner you're usually not sure how to create viral content and so what you want to do is search for your product on Tik Tok and you're going to see a ton of videos come up now look at your competitor's videos and see what they're doing if you stumble upon videos of your product that have performed well what you'll want to do is save them and then go ahead and recreate them sure you can maybe change up the text a bit but that shouldn't matter too much now since you're just remaking your competitor's videos there's a high chance that your videos will also go viral since you're just kind of doing what's already working eventually with trial and error you're going to find out how to create the the best content and scale from there for example if you post a video that goes viral you're definitely going to want to keep recreating that video or different variations of it it's always important to double down on what's working if you're ever stuck on what type of content to create I recommend you go on Tik Tok and search up Amazon find Tik Tok made me buy it and look through those videos and see what other business owners are doing now let's move on to my Instagram and Pinterest marketing strategy which is quite simple for this I just recommend reposting your Tik talks to both Instagram and Pinterest I'd say Instagram is very similar to Tik Tok so you should see similar results and so now you'll be posting quality content on Tik Tok Pinterest and Instagram and with time you will see results it's important you post anywhere from one to three videos every single day if you don't post at least one video every single day it's very unlikely that you'll see any results now let's say you've posted on social media consistently for at least 1 to 2 months well now you're going to have have enough information to determine the next step you're either going to end up having great results or not really have any results at all if you end up getting a few sales then I do recommend you scale further with Tik Tok and Facebook ads but if you don't end up getting any sales and most of your videos flop then you might want to consider opening up a new store and for those of you who are interested in running ads to scale your Drop Shipping business I do have a Tik Tok ads and Facebook ads section in my Drop Shipping course if you feel like you need a bit more guidance to be successful in this business then you can check out my Drop Shipping course Linked In the description of this video now that's all for this tutorial all the best and I'll see you in my next video
