Steps for Product Research

Using AliExpress Shopping Website

1. Access the Website: Use aliexpress.us for US-based products to see items available in US warehouses.
2. Trend Spotting Feature: Look for the "trend spotting" section to see trending products.
3. Basic Search: Enter the product name (e.g., "glasses").
4. Initial Analysis: Before applying any filters, analyze the top products for reviews, shipping time, return policy, etc.
5. Apply Filters:
   • Shipping From: Select "United States" for US-based shipping.
   • Ratings: Enable 4 stars and up.
   • Sorting Options: Sort by orders instead of best match.
6. Product Analysis: Look at product details such as price, shipping cost, orders, and ratings.

Finding Hidden Trending Products

1. Modify the URL: Change aliexpress.us to aliexpress.com and add /best/one to the URL.
2. Weekly Deals: Scroll to see the weekly top-ranking products by category.
3. Category Selection: Choose a category to find top-trending products (e.g., Beauty Devices).
4. Product Selection: Note details such as rating and number of orders.

Validating with Drop Shipping Center

1. Access Drop Shipping Center: Ensure you have access; watch Ennis’ video if needed.
2. Copy Product Details: Copy product name (e.g., "facial massager") from AliExpress Shopping Website.
3. Search in Drop Shipping Center: Use the product name to find matches.
4. Analyze Trends:
   • Graph Analysis: Review sales trend graphs to determine if the product’s demand is consistently growing.
   • Price Check: Compare prices between the Shopping Website and Drop Shipping Center.
     • A discrepancy might exist but check the link to confirm consistency.

Additional Tips

• Filter Recommendations: Avoid enabling free shipping initially to see more options.
• Graph Interpretation: Understand the graph; consistent growth indicates high demand despite daily fluctuations.
• Explore Options: Different stores might show different trends for the same product.
