I've seen the thousands of comments from you guys asking, can you start dropshipping with no money? So I think it's time to test the theory and legitimacy of all these different videos out there claiming that you can start dropshipping with no money and see if it's something that can really be done. Now, some of you might not know, but dropshipping has one of the lowest startup costs that you can find when it comes to starting an online business.
But does that mean that you can start with absolutely nothing? There's no paying for the product, no paying for inventory, and no paying for shipping. as long as you're pricing your products correctly.
So now the main question arises, can you still build a profitable and successful dropshipping store with no money? Well, I'm going to put that to the test and you're coming with me. And I'm talking about from the very beginning, all the way from finding a product to building a store and marketing the product and everything from A through Z on what it's going to take to run a successful dropshipping business. So let's go ahead and see how that goes. All right, if I'm going to be starting this dropshipping business with no money, then I need to find a product that's going to bring in some sales.
So I'm going to hit the market real quick and see what there is out there. I spent the next hour searching for some products using TikTok and Facebook ads library, but I ended up switching over to AutoDS and taking advantage of the 30-day free trial so I could do a more tailored search and see the market trend behind each product. Free product research can be done. Do not get me wrong.
And I just saw some products that had some great potential while I was just scrolling on TikTok. But because I needed to make sure I could find a strong product today with everything that AutoDS's platform offers, I knew this was going to be the tool and platform to help me do that, while also aligning me with reliable and fast suppliers that can be able to ship anywhere in the world. And as soon as I hopped into AutoDS, after browsing and searching for about just 10 minutes, I was able to find that winning product, as they're updating their product research sections daily.
And in my opinion, with this being updated constantly and giving you guys winning products at your fingertips, there's no way that you cannot find a winning product. And I'll go ahead and drop a 30-day free trial to AutoDS down below so that you can go ahead and try it out too, especially if you're a beginner so you can go ahead and get the ball rolling. Now, this is the product that I decided on.
It's a back stretcher and posture corrector. This product solves the problem. It has a unique wow factor. And my competition is selling the product for between $30 and $50. So it's right in the range of $30 to $120, which is a sweet spot price range for selling online.
And overall, it's a higher quality product that fits the workout and the Pilates trend that has been taking... off over the past couple of years. Now, I know that we're trying to start this business with zero dollars, but I think I'm already going to dip into my pockets a little. I want to create some ads that are not on the market already.
And if I have to spend $20 or so to buy this product from Amazon to then create these ads for free, then that's what I'm going to have to do. And doing it this way, it's going to be way cheaper than getting the ads made by professionals. And the best part is it's going to give me more of an advantage in the market because I'm not going to be using the same ads that are already out there and blending in with the rest of the sellers.
And I'm doing it this way because I'm trying to spend as less as possible while starting this. But I'm still trying to set myself up to gain the highest return. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to order this product right now off of Amazon. You know, get that overnight delivery. It's going to come in.
We're going to get these ads recorded. We're going to get this store built. And then I'm going to put you onto my organic marketing strategy so we can start to see these sales start rolling in. And like I said, we are trying to start dropshipping with $0.
So let me put you onto a little finesse. We all know that Amazon has that 30-day return policy. So... After I order this product and I get all the ads made, I'm gonna go ahead and return this so I can get my full refund. I'll see you guys in a little bit.
Let's continue to keep pushing forward. All right, y'all brand new day, brand new product has officially came into the mail. Let's go ahead and head into the office and go ahead and unbox this thing. All right, y'all.
Let's go ahead and check this thing out. Let's see what we're working with. Safety first, right? Ugh, ugh, ugh, God.
They packed this thing up tight. Pink? Not gonna lie, this thing looks like pretty good quality, though.
How do you even work this thing? Oh, okay, okay, okay. Hey.
No, I'm just playing. I'm actually pretty happy about this, though. The product quality is not bad at all. You know, when you do buy some products off of Amazon, I know you guys have heard of the...
horror stories of products looking damaged or not even coming the way that you think they're going to come. This is a pretty decent product. Makes things so much easier when you sell high quality products because you can feel like people would actually want it because I know I want this for myself. And let me tell you the reason that I failed from drop shipping from the very beginning is not because I didn't know what products to sell, not because I didn't have the best store, it's because the products I was selling, they did not have high quality, which leads to endless chargebacks. So this, I'm already over the hump with making sure the quality is there.
and ensuring that I'm not gonna put myself in any position to lose any money during this challenge so now before I go out there and start creating any new ads for this product I actually need to still get the store created so I'm gonna bring you guys along with me let's go ahead and get started so to be completely transparent with you guys I think we're going to fail the challenge. with a couple more dollars spent to get the store going. Right now, we're at about negative $20, and we just cannot get around having a store and a domain to sell with.
And you know me, I'm always looking for those deals, because I'm trying to save that money. So I'm gonna show you how to get both of those for just $2. Now, Shopify is a platform that I always suggest starting your stores on, because it's really plug and go once you do open it up. So if you go ahead and tap the link down in my description, you're gonna get a free trial, plus your first month with Shopify, for just $1, with a $50 store app credit. So yes.
We're spending another dollar to get this dropshipping business going. But compared to other startup costs, can you really be too mad at a dollar? Anyway, I'm going to get this store built real quick while we have this active trial.
Because we still have a lot of work to do today when it comes to recording and creating the ads and then starting the organic marketing for the product. So I spent the last 20 to 30 minutes opening up my Shopify store. And this is what we're looking like. Now, I did have another expense while creating the store, which was the domain that I'm going to be using. Now, the domain that you decide to use is a big player in gaining traffic to your store.
filled with customers that are ready to buy. And one of the best ways to show that you're an online store selling products is with a dot store domain. This dot store domain already puts a psychological play on consumers and makes them correlate purchasing with a store.
You see, this was verified through a 16 month long study comparing dot store domains to other major domains, which showed that the dot store brought in higher conversions than any other domain name. And you can see that major brands and celebrities have already caught on to this, with influencers like Mr. Beast already utilizing dot store domains and pointing over 600,000 visitors to its store monthly. And you can get this domain from anywhere that you want, like GoDaddy, Shopify, I mean, anywhere that you can buy a domain. But there's a deal happening right now with Get.Store that will allow you to get your own.Store domain for just 99 cents and get discounts worth $2,500 on tools like Vistaprint and Mailchimp for all your marketing needs while running your business. I'm gonna drop a link down in my description that's gonna allow you to take advantage of the.Store domain and apply that discount.
Now, all you have to do is enter in the code ACSTORE and that discount is all yours. All right, so even though we weren't able to- able to completely start this dropshipping store with $0. I was able to get the product order for ad creations for $19 and completely build a store with just $0 spent.
So as of right now, I'm sitting at about $21 since starting this dropshipping store. So I think it's time to get these ads created and start the organic marketing so I can try to make that back and more. So I'm gonna start off with a scroll stopper first, which is obviously the point right here. Talk about a scroll stopper.
Boom. And stop. All right, got the first three seconds done. I got the first feature and benefit done. The solution is obviously gonna be the posture corrector.
Now we're gonna go ahead and showcase the solution of it actually being used. Where you can see it says right here, left, right, being able to stretch his back, showcasing the relieving pain. And then we're gonna add in a quick little back audio in here so you can hear it cracking his back basically.
And now we're just gonna add a call to action at the end of this to let people know where to go. This is just ad one. Like this just took me like five minutes to go ahead and do ad one. We have like six different ads we're gonna work with. So honestly, I'm gonna keep knocking the rest of these out real quick.
Always gonna reduce the image noise, always gonna up the quality and gonna remove any flickers. Always gotta do that every time we put a video out. Edit the overlay just so that those pieces are added together.
And then we need to go ahead and add in some music. I'm telling you guys right now, if you don't have the money to go out there and get a professional make an ad for you, this can do it for you in only a couple seconds. I tell you guys all the time, I'm no video editor.
but this platform is very easy and simple to use. And I'm just trying to keep this content as raw as possible. I'm not trying to do too much, not trying to make it too adsy as we are going to be posting this on TikTok.
All right, so I just got the first piece of content done. I'm going to go ahead and knock out a couple more so we have more variations. And I'll see you guys in a second. Randy, your order's no match for this.
So now that we got the product, the store, and the ads ready to go, let's talk about how I'm going to try to advertise and get sales with this product without spending any money on ads. I'm going to be leveraging TikTok's platform towards... organically promote and push this product because of the algorithm and the chance of success that it can give. Let's start off with TikTok's algorithm and how this can help with success. First off, TikTok gives unpredictable virality.
Brand new accounts or brand new videos can go viral as long as they resonate with the audience. TikTok also has an equal playing field. TikTok doesn't just favor the big accounts, the small accounts, the brand new accounts like the ones that we're creating. This can still go crazy as long as the content is engaging. And as I'm talking about content, TikTok focuses on content over followers.
So the better the content that you you put out and the more rapid content you put out, the more success that you have. The next is the potential to reach a bigger audience just by using trending sounds or hashtags. Leveraging sounds, hashtags, and trends, this gives you a better chance of going viral and more visibility on your product.
And utilizing a specific hashtag strategy just gets you in front of the eyes of the consumers who would be more likely to buy the product. Just think about it, with this back stretcher, if I use hashtags like health and wellness over cats and dogs, this is gonna give me a better audience towards the people who I want to see my product. And with people dropping videos, to popular songs every single day, if you can drop a great video to the sound, think of the rankings and the amount of people that can actually see it. And lastly, more raw content does even better on this platform than a typical ad that you would see on Facebook. Basically, consumers want to see ads that don't look like ads, which is what I just recorded.
Authenticity matters on this platform, so the more genuine, raw type of content that you have, this will go even further of getting you that chance of going viral. You kind of want to be soft-selling, less intrusive, where basically the consumer is just scrolling on their TikTok, they see your ad, and they don't even realize that they're watching one. But they love to see how your product is working for other people.
Doing this is just going to spark the interest of your consumer to go out there and look for more information on your page, which in turn will drive even more sales to your website. So I'm going to leave you with this. If you really want to blend into that feed and not look too adsy, use user-generated content. The more raw, the better. So from here, what I'm going to do to get this started is I'm going to open both the Instagram and a TikTok account for the store.
Instagram is where I'm going to have my Shopify link in the bio. And the TikTok account is going to be connected to my Instagram account. And the only reason I'm doing it... this is because until I reach a thousand followers on TikTok, I cannot put a link in the bio, but it's still necessary to have somewhere to drag the customers to so that they can get to my store organically. And it's going to be very simple to set this up.
All I'm going to do is throw some quick branding into each of these by adding in the logo to the profile and a quick bio explaining who my store is and any promotions happening. Now I'm going to be posting content regularly on the TikTok account and the Instagram account, totaling about three to five posts per day. I'm going to be starting off with even times and the next day posting that odd times. From there, I'm going to go ahead and analyze.
whether the even or odd times get the most engagement. And then I'm gonna continue to post during those times with trending sounds and hashtags to continue to build traction and lead customers in my store and make sales. Again, without spending a dime on ads.
So I'm gonna go ahead and upload my first ad now. Now over the past two days, I've created a dropshipping store, found a product, created ads, and started organically marketing, which is $21 spent. And I think I proved again that you just simply cannot start dropshipping with $0.
So because of that, to make sure that one of you can. can get the money that you need to start your own dropshipping business with some extra funds. I'm about to get on my TikTok live right now, and I'm about to hand out some money to one lucky winner so that they don't even have to try to start dropshipping from zero dollars.
Trust me, I know what it's like to have almost nothing to my name, but still wanting to make this business work so bad. So I want to be able to bless one of my followers today so they can step into their own potential of making money online. All right, and we're going to go ahead and get going. So are you guys ready for this?
