there about how to start and it can get so confusing and overwhelming that you just give up and go back to scrolling but but you made the right choice by clicking on this video because I'm going to be showing you the easiest fastest cheapest pretty much the best way to start Drop Shipping in 2024 first of all why should you listen to me let me pull out my receipts real quick that's one store right there that's another store right there that's another one Ah that's another one I cannot show you the name of the store because I'm still running it this is just a few of them the point is I've done this over at multiple stores so I didn't just get lucky and do it once I started my Drop Shipping Journey back in 2022 and I documented the entire process on this YouTube channel so in this video I'm going to clear all the confusion teach you everything I learned and give you everything you need to start Drop Shipping today now right now so let's get started then first of all really quick what is Drop Shipping the simplest way I can explain it is you go on AliExpress you find a product selling for this price you create your own website you list that product on your website for a higher price you find a way to get customers to go on your website and purchase that product after they buy you go back to AliExpress put in the customers details at checkouts then the AliExpress supplier will ship it directly to the customer without you ever having to touch the product simp simple not easy but simple well these days it's a lot easier to make job shipping work cuz now ai can literally build your store for you in minutes no and also you don't need to spend any money on Advertising cuz there's this thing called organic Drop Shipping and I'm going to show you how to do all of that right now okay so how do you actually build a Shopify store the old way would have taken you 5 to 10 hours to build it if you were a complete beginner this is the new way of doing things scroll down to the description of this video and click the first link it's called build your store once you do that it will take you to this page right here as you can see get a free AI build store in less than 2 minutes so what you need to do is Click build my free store all right so just add your details click next then you would have to build a niche obviously if you don't know which product you're going to sell yet just click I'm not sure but if you do just choose one of the niches let's just click I'm not sure done next just click two banners it doesn't really matter obviously you can edit it later now it's time to create the Shopify account all you need to do to create a Shopify account click access Shopify enter your email address as you can see Shopify has a free 3-day trial and then for the next month you just pay1 or $1 depending on wherever you are click Stu fre trial you can choose to skip all of these steps like it's just unnecessary and then choose whichever country you live in I'm in the UK so and then click next so now you can sign up with all these options you can just choose to sign up with email add your details and then just click create Shopify accounts and just like that your Shopify store has been built bu obviously you're not done there are a few more steps you need to do to fully complete the store you just click done here it will take you to the next page to continue the rest of the process do it don't let your dreams be dreams yesterday you said tomorrow so just and just like that you have your store up ready nice looking and ready to go obviously if this is not your nation and this is not the product you want to sell you're going to make some changes and I'll show you how to do that but for now as you can see you literally have a store that's ready that's the product page as you can see it has all the buy options everything ready for you to go they can track their order contact information like everything is literally as straightforward as it gets and just like that you have a Shopify store ready to go you guys don't understand your privilege do you know how many hours I've spent building a Shopify store I've made over 60 stores but anyways that is what the store looks like now let's get into finding your first winning product what is a winning product and how do you find one for yourself if you've watched other videos on Drop Shipping you would probably hear other people saying like it needs to solve a problem it needs to have a while factor which is fine but for me almost none of my winning products solve the problem so my product research criteria is a bit different first of all Yes it needs to have a while Factor because with the method I'm going to teach you about how to get customers to your website you rely on going viral on social media platforms like Tik Tok and Instagram real so the product needs to have some kind of w factor or it will be very difficult to sell it and instead of solving a problem the product needs to offer some kind of value to the customer value of course can mean a lot of different things I made over 60k with this product right here the value it provided was purely just fun and also maybe status because having the product would make the customers friends think they're cool or something I made over $300,000 with this product at 50% profit margins the value it provided was convenience and time-saving it basically rolls Your Greens fast and easy and everything obviously the more value the product provides the more money you will make from it those are my two major criteria I'll list all the minor ones here on the screen for you to follow so now how do you find a winning product two ways with the first way you do all the work yourself and with the second way you can use a product research tool the tool I recommend is called autods which is also what you are going to use to ship your products to your customers it's basically an all-in-one Drop Shipping tool if you followed the AI store building tutorial till the end you already would have it installed but if you skip that part let me show you how to install it and link it to your store so what you're going to do again scroll down to the description of this video click the second link autod DS has a 14-day trial but if you use my link you're going to get a 30-day free trial still once you click that link it's going to take you here now you need to create your autods account so just add your details or sign up with Google and just click join obviously we're going to be using Shopify so just click Shopify and click on continue now you will have to pick your payment plan obviously this is the most popular one it's $30 a month but this is the annual plan so if you just want to pay monthly after the 30 days you just click this and just click Start 30-day freal so yeah choose between the annual and the monthly plan and just click the 30-day free trial now you add your payment details click continue There we go and just like that you now have an autod DS account it tells you what to do anyways but I'll just show you just click here to add your store obviously don't use this one cuz we've already done this so just click I have a Shopify store connected to autods and then just click install right here click install again and just like that you've linked your store you've linked everything everything is set and nice so now let's get into the product research so autods has four main product research tabs the first one is a Marketplace that's where all the products that Auto have on their platform are displayed as you can see you can choose where you want to ship the products to choose where you want to ship the products from you even have us local suppliers to ship your products you have China suppliers as usual Germany what they also have is the fast shipping option when you click that as you can see it will take even as low as one business day for the product to get to your customer obviously that is us to us as you can see the shipping times are very very very very very competitive one of the best I've ever seen period and let me show you if you're shipping from China 6 to 8 days 18 days 6 to 8 Days 12 to 18 17 yeah so 18 days looks like the Max and the average is around like 10 days the second tab is the handpicked products here autod DS adds products on a daily basis as you can see this was added 9 hours ago 16 hours ago they literally update this page with handpicked products by their team and when you click on one of the products you can see they've gone deep deep deep deep into the product analysis you can see how high the engagement is you can see how saturated it is it goes deep it goes into like the target audience age yeah it gets deep so as you can see this is how much autod DS is selling the product for and this is how much people are selling it for so the potential profit you could make is this which is ridiculous bro I should test this and it also shows you social media accounts with those videos so as you can see I've seen there's some my banner accounts it literally gives you everything you need to know whether it's a good product and whether it's worth testing or not the third one is Tik Tok spy what this is is it shows you all the Tik Tok ads and also some of the organic Tik Tok videos and you can just sort it by engagements like likes comments sorted by the country and then shortly even by the date the video was created and lastly you have the trending products here it combines Tik Tok shop Tik Tok organic and Tik Tok ads together and it shows you all the products that are actually trending on Tik Tok if you click on one of them I believe this one is Tik Tok shop they have some kind of rating system that shows you from 0 to 100 how well that product is performing obviously it Compares it to all the other products that is why I believe this was the first product to show up cuz it's literally has the highest amount of sold 1.7 million sold damn bro it shows you how well the product is performing overall and also shows you the countries that the product is being sold to and it also has a few other analytics again you can see all the ads on the product and you can Source it as well if you want but yeah that is pretty much the first method of product research the next method is what people like to call the burner method I hired people to do this method for me because it takes way too long but it is also a really really good way to find trending products what you need to do is make a brand new Tik Tok account search for Tik Tok made me buy it and watch about 30 to 40 Drop Shipping videos basically Drop Shipping videos are videos like this usually the person filming doesn't show their face and if you go to their account it's just that one product that they filming for and they have their website link for that one product in the bio there are accounts of people reviewing multiple products like this this is not what we are looking for we're only looking for Drop Shipping products accounts that only sell one product and only have a store about that one product what you need to do is watch the Drop Shipping videos all the way to the end like them favorite them leave a comment if you want I rarely leave a comment but you can once you're done watching the 30 to 40 videos your for you page should look like this full of Drop Shipping products [Music] so now all you need to do is scroll through your for you page like favorite until you find a Drop Shipping product that fits the product criteria this is a really good method because it shows you the products that are immediately trending on Tik Tok but it's annoying because you have to scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll for hours before you even find something that's really good and unsaturated and worth testing that's why I have just hired some people to do it for me so so far we've talked about how to build a store and how to find products now let's finish with the rest of the boring technical Logistics stuff you need to set up and then I'll show you the real Source how to actually bring the money in now this is how you import the product you choose to your store if you found the product using Auto DS literally all you need to do is just click on import draft there we go the draft upload process has finished click to view now this product is added to your drafts all you need to do is Click import and then it will directly add this product to your shop Shopify store obviously if you see stuff like this with a long name you can import it and edit it and Shopify after or you can just click this edit it here change the name to maybe Leon car LED get rid of the rest and then if you want to add the description here if you want to add the images here you can do all of that here if you don't want to do it to Shopify then you just click save and then just click save and input and then if you just go back to your store and you go to products you will see that new product has been imported right here and of course we changed the name and as you can see description is still here images are still here you can edit all of that in Shopify and then you can edit the prices as well and everything let me show you another way to import assuming you found the product somewhere else if you found the product on AliExpress copy the link go back to autods click add products here add single product and then just paste it then you could just choose to edit it as you can see it looks exactly the same as the other one just change the name cars toy you can edit the description or edit it in Shopify and then just click save and import and then again you just go back to products on your store and then it will just be imported right there that's AliExpress let me show you something else this is something that I recently found out that blew my mind so if you go to autod DS supported suppliers as you can see obviously the supports AliExpress even Alibaba so you could just click on the Alibaba link but Amazon Amazon you can fulfill directly from Amazon this is something that I'm using right now when I just when I found out about it man obviously the only issue with this is that you have to deal with Amazon prices again exactly the same process copy the Amazon link add products single product paste it and it will change Amazon region United States done easy now at this point it's going to fulfill the product from Amazon but ideally you would want to find the product from the market place because they've already sorted out the best suppliers and everything and it would be as seamless as possible if you just use a TOS now let me show you how to fulfill your orders if you imported from AliExpress or Amazon you can choose to use those suppliers like you can choose to use this supplier right here and this direct Amazon supplier right here or you can click on sourcing request and then you will get a quote and a different price probably lower than the Amazon and AliExpress listing directly from autod DS if you wanted to do it you would have to go to orders and sourcing request but as you can see you don't have any sourcing request yet you don't have any orders yet the this is a fresh account let me go into one of my accounts that I used to fulfill with autods yeah so this is the account that I used with like a th000 orders if you want to get a quote from autods you would need to go to orders sourcing request and then you would see this on one of the products obviously mine is already soured but just for the sake of the video just click sourcing request under your product and then to change to in progress and then within up to 24 hours you will get a quote with prices like this and then you'll be able to go to this option which is sourcing details and then you can see how much autod DS charges you as you can see for me the product was just less than $2 and then the shipping price was less than $7 so in total it was less than $9 to fulfill this product and I'm selling it for like $20 yeah also typically if you a beginner with a fresh new account you you will to be honest not get the best prices that's literally how it is for every single order fulfillment software as a beginner it's like they don't take you seriously because most beginners just give up as you start to scale and start to get more orders more orders daily orders they will start to see that H this guy is actually serious so I would want to keep him around with competitive pricing because at this point he can go and ask another supplier and that supplier will probably give him cheaper prices it becomes a competition so what you would do at the point of scaling is just come back here click message message about this sourcing and then this is pretty much you talking to the supplier you talk to the supplier tell them you want lower pricing da d da and then eventually they'll probably give you lower pricing and then also one more thing when you use the suppliers on the marketplace instead of the AliExpress and the Amazon thing the benefit you get is you can actually brand your own product maybe like add like a logo to it and customize it to look exactly how you want obviously you get FAS shipping and you get faster response time with the suppliers like it's literally more of a personalized service so ideally you would want to use products from the marketplace that is pretty much all the technical boring stuff now let's make some money okay now it's finally time to bring customers to your website there are two ways to do that one the old way is paid ads with paid ads you need to pay platforms like Facebook Tik Tok Snapchat Google to show your ads to Their audience problem is that those platforms don't really like Drop shippers so you will get banned like so much also most of the time you need to test a lot of ads before you find even one ad that makes you profitable so in the beginning you're almost guaranteed to lose like thousands and thousands of dollars the second way is called organic marketing that is how I make my money I take products like these make a new Tik Tok account Instagram account YouTube shorts account Facebook reals account for free by the way I film and edit videos about the product with my phone and I try to go viral once I go viral people will go onto my website with the link that I would put in the description of my social media accounts again for free so with this method anytime you get a sale you're always profitable this is the easiest way for beginners to get started because there's no upfront cost and it's just a matter of skill so all you will need to do is learn the skill of going viral and you will never be broke again you can easily easily get to that 10K a month now I have generated over 1 billion views across all the social media platforms and I came up with the system of testing products that gives you the highest chance of long-term success if you want to watch me Implement that method live watch this video I literally filmed myself every day and brought a product from zero up to 10K in sales in 2 weeks but this is basically the method once you find a product first thing you need to do is order it to your house if you have Amazon just order it from there if you don't you need to probably order it from anywhere that ships it to your house find a way to get it to your house AliExpress ships worldwide it may take long but if you have a little bit of income just message the supplier ask them for like DHL shipping find a way to get a product to your house now that you have the product for the first week all you're going to do is copy your competitors's most viral videos one to one every single day you're going to film edit and post one to two videos about the product on all the platforms after the first week if you don't see any traction it's time to switch things up a bit but before you do please don't lie to yourself make sure your videos are actually on power with your competitors if you cut corners and your lighting is not as good as their's or the camera quality is like an Android Samsung S5 or something you cannot really count it as a proper test but the second week if you have not gone viral already you're going to search for viral videos in the niche that is what I did in the video I told you to watch I was testing this guitar pick that lights up when you strum it and I couldn't make it go viral by copying my competitors so in the next week I literally just searched for the word guitar and then I sorted it by most liked in the in the week or something and I found this video by some random creator that had 16 million views it wasn't a drop shipper he wasn't selling a product it was just a Creator he was repeating the same video across multiple videos on his account and they were all blowing up so I knew it would work if I copied it so I copied it and it went crazy my video is currently sitting at 43 million views but yeah typically by the second week I expect to have already gone viral but for you a beginner to be honest to be honest the odds of that are pretty low only because your videos no matter what are not going to be on power with your competitors they're not going to be as high quality as they need to be because it takes like a few weeks to a month of filming editing posting to learn the skill and improve your skill of making high quality videos so it takes a bit of time and patience so you should probably test for another week then you can cut the product after that and move on to another product until you find a winner that goes crazy obviously 3 weeks is a long time to be testing one product so ideally you would want to be testing like three to five more if you can but to be honest that's pretty hard to do but yeah with that being said that is pretty much the best way to start Drop Shipping as a complete beginner in 2024 and I know most of you have started or are about to start your online moneymaking journey and if you've been watching me for a while you would know that I started all the way from nothing I got zero customers not a single tic cart again I lost $130 and I've grinded my way all the way up to where I am right now I know exactly how lonely and confusing this journey can be because I've been there so many times so I decided to put together my own Discord Community where people with all different skill levels from complete beginners and people who've made their first sale all the way up to people who've crossed 10K a month and even six figures a month can grow together and learn from each other if that sounds good to you click the link in the description and I'll see you inside
