Steps for Product Research

Using AliExpress Shopping Website

1. Initial Search
   • Perform a simple product search without any filters initially
   • Example used: “glasses”
   • Inspect the top results for indicators of quality:
     • Choice bar indicating good product
     • Free 12-day delivery and free return for hassle-free drop shipping
     • Check store reviews
2. Enable Options
   • Set “Shipping From” to “United States” for faster shipping times (max 15 days)
   • Enable “4 stars and up” filter for quality assurance
   • Sort results by “Orders” to see best-selling products
   • Avoid enabling “Free Shipping” to allow premium shipping options for higher-margin products
3. Product Selection
   • Choose products with high orders and good ratings
   • Note prices and additional costs like shipping for margin calculations

Hidden Section for Trending Products

1. URL Adjustment
   • Change URL from aliexpress.us to aliexpress.com
   • Append URL as best.aliexpress.com and hit enter
2. Access Top Ranking Products
   • Navigate through the adjusted page to “Weekly Deals” and then “Top Rankings”
   • Explore top trending products in different niches/categories
3. Example Selection and Evaluation
   • Example used: Beauty devices
   • Open a top trending product (e.g., multifunctional beauty device)
   • Check for ratings and number of orders (example: 4.7 rating and over 1000 orders)

Using Drop Shipping Center

1. Access Drop Shipping Center
   • Useful for detailed trend analysis
   • Issues accessing: Can't find the page, solution provided in Ennis’s channel
2. Search for Products
   • Example used: Facial massager
   • Copy product name and search in Drop Shipping Center
   • Compare prices and trends
   • Analyze sales trend graph (look for consistent growth despite fluctuations)
3. Verify Multiple Stores
   • Check if same product is listed under different stores with varying performance
