so you guys probably see all these people on social media making tons of money draw shipping and you're like how do I start this for myself and start making money as well when I was first starting out a few years ago I tried finding videos online that can help me start but so many of them over complicate the process and make it hard to understand I wanted to come on here and show you guys exactly how to start and exactly what you need to do to become successful bit and make it as simple as possible for you guys to understand you're probably thinking why should I listen to you well I went from being a broke high school kid with no future plans for my life working 30 hours a week at a fastr restaurant while failing most of my classes to now moving out of my parents house to my dream apartment in Miami and I also bought my dream car recently it was a $100,000 CA Corvette I've also been able to help my family and friends out as well I'm also now able to work from whenever and wherever I want all you guys have to do is watch this video and I'll break down exactly what I did and not geekeep anything like all these other people on social media are doing so first thing you guys need to know and understand is what Drop Shipping actually is all Drop Shipping is is basically where you're a middleman for suppliers and your customers let's say there's a $10 product on AliExpress all you do is just set up a Shopify store and relist it for $30 and every sale that you get you make $20 in profit so the good thing about this is that you don't need to keep inventory which means unlike other businesses you don't need thousands of dollars to start and it makes it very beginner friendly for me myself back in high school or any of you guys to start when you get a sale all you need to do is take $10 from the $30 and you pay that to your supplier and they ship out everything for you so that's all Drop Shipping is you're just being a middleman now that you guys understand what Drop Shipping actually is there's three main steps that you need to do firstly you want to find a winning product secondly once you have your winning product you want to set up a Shopify store for it lastly you want to Market and advertise it on social media make sure you guys follow each step and everything I'm about to explain because if you don't then you might lose a lot of money or a lot of time now firstly you need to find a winning product now before picking your first product you guys need to make sure it meets most of these requirements that I'm about to show you your product needs to solve a problem or have some sort of entertainment factor to it secondly make sure it's not saturated or dead third you need to make sure it has a high perceived value if you look at the product does it look like it's something cheap or something that can be broken easily make sure it doesn't look like either fourth make sure there's room for improvement got to start with a product that already has millions of followers or millions of likes they're already doing really good it's going to be hard to beat that Fifth and lastly don't reinvent the wheel don't try to sell some crazy product that no one else is selling inste pick a product that's recently started trending with low competition now you guys need to keep all of these in mind when finding your product now that you guys actually know what to look for here's some resources that you can use to actually sort source and find these products firstly you can use the Tik Tok burner method which is basically where you set up a brand new Tik Tok account and you want to optimize your for you page for advertisements of drw shipping products secondly you can use the Tik Tok ads library and filter it to offers like 50% off so that you get access to all the ads that people are running of Drop Shipping products as well once you guys find a product using either of those methods you want to actually use this research tool called shop Hunter which basically allows you to see how many sales your competitors are getting all you do is type in the link to a Shopify store and you can see how many sales they got in the last week month year whatever that way you can verify whether or not the product is actually selling or not selling obviously if you track it using shop Hunter and it's not selling then you don't sell it for yourself either and if you track it and it shows that it is selling then you want to start selling it for yourself as well if you guys haven't used shop Hunter yet they're honestly one of the best research tools to help you find a winning p leave a link Down Below in the description for you guys to try them out completely free shout out to them for letting me hook you guys out to try it for completely free if you guys use the link below now that you guys have a winning product you need to set up your Shopify store now unlike what a lot of you guys probably think this is honestly one of the easiest Parts About Drop Shipping and it literally only costs $1 to set up as well I think it's usually like $30 a month but I'll leave a link Down Below in the description that actually allows you to sign up for literally just $1 and now you should officially be in the homepage of your Shopify store now the first thing you guys want to do is Click online store on the left side of the screen and then you want to go down to your themes and change the theme from dawn to refresh or sense you don't want to use the regular Dawn theme instead you want to use either refresh or sense they're honestly pretty easy to use starting out you don't need any of the crazy premium themes yet all you're doing is just testing and these two are good enough to get your first sales with now that you guys have done that one of the most important things you guys need to actually do is add a supplier onto your store so that way once you start getting your sales you can actually fulfill them and ship out the products to your customers but the one that I actually use called autod DS can actually ship them out under a week they also allow you to customize your products or your packaging as well also another really good thing is that any product you find that you want to start selling they're able to Source it for you once you start getting a lot of sales you can actually make it so that they automatically fulfill all your orders for you so that you don't have to worry about that now you guys know I would never promote anything that I've never actually tried or Ed myself I can tell you guys right now they're honestly one of the best suppliers out there to use and by the way it's literally free to trial for 30 days as well I'll leave a link Down Below in the description shout out to them for letting me hook you guys up now that you guys have the theme and the supplier set up properly you guys need to info your product from the supplier onto your actual store you should be able to see your product inside your shop I sword now when you first import it it's going to have a lot of random stuff in the description you want to delete all of that because your customers don't care how long or wide the product is what you want to do is use something like chat gbt and tell it to give you benefits of your product what you want to do is only copy one to two sentences and add it in the description of your product don't add paragraphs or essays because nobody has time to read all that they only care about one to two sent I would also try to customize it a little bit like add an emoji or let's say it's a girls product then you need to make it girly now once you're done with this you need to actually come up with a brand name for your product let's say your product is a magnifying phone case you can just combine the two words and just call it magnet case or something like that it doesn't have to be anything crazy it's not too important and you also want to add the little trademark logo after your product name just to make it look more official and now you have the product section set up now you want to go back to online store and go on your product page the hom page it doesn't matter as much what you should mainly focus on is the product page once you're on the product page it's going to be pretty much empty you don't want it like this what you want to do is add firstly an FAQ section if you look on the left it's going to be called like collapsible content and you basically want to answer any common questions that they might have like how long does the shipping take how do I use the product whatever the case is now once you have an FAQ section you want to add a short GIF it's like a 2 to 3 second video all you got to do is go on Tik Tok download a video and then upload it onto a GIF maker and then you can add it on your product page below your FAQ just helps show like a short video of how the product works or how it looks and all that now that you have your GIF you want to add two image with text use an image of your product that you haven't used before you can either look it up or it should be from your supplier and then you want to add like I said a quick one to two sentence summary of a benefit about your product and usually I would just add like one or two image with text after that another very important thing is to set up your reviews as well open up another tab go to settings on the bottom left corner on the left side column it should say Shopify apps you click that and then you click Shopify apps store the green button on the top right and now you should be in the Shopify App Store just look up reviews on the search bar and use any of the review apps that are available any review app that you choose you can either import reviews from Ali Express or Amazon or you can actually artificially create your own reviews as well just make sure if you do create your own reviews that it's realistic don't make it obvious that you made your own reviews and also when you're doing your reviews make sure you don't have it perfect at five stars I see so many beginners they add like 500 five star reviews and obviously it's not going to look right it's going to look like a scam no one's going to believe that every review was a five star review so make it realistic make it like 4.8 4.9 n stars or 4.7 stars and also make sure to pin reviews that include images that way people see and trust your store more because they see customers are actually getting their product now once you've done this the last thing to do is your logo it's really easy trust me it literally only takes like a minute or maybe 30 seconds to make all you do is go on a website like canva and click the option for Logos to 500 pixels x 500 pixels you can look up an image and add one in the background just don't put too much on there you want to keep your logo very simple I mean look at the Apple logo look at Amazon logo I mean it's usually just the text or what whatever the company's called you're done with that download it and upload it to your Shopify store that should honestly be it with what you need to do on your shopy store first time you do this it might take a bit but after you set it up the first time the next like nowadays if I want to set up a store it literally only takes like 20 30 minutes it's very simple now that's how you set up your Shopify store I told you guys it's not as hard as you probably thought now the third and last thing you guys need to do is the marketing and advertising there's two ways to go about this you could either run what's called organic ads which is what I did when I started out or you can jump straight into what's called paid ads organic ads is basically where you make content on Tik Tok and Instagram reals and try to make it go as viral as possible so that you get a lot of traction to your store which you're going to put in the link of your profile or you can go straight into pay Das where you're basically paying Tik Tok or Facebook $50 to $100 every day to test and scale your product if you have under $11,000 I would definitely recommend you start organic ads first and if you have a couple thousand to invest you can try testing with paid ads now whether or not you have the budget I would personally recommend that you start organic first and at least try to get your first few sales with Organic marketing before you get into paid ads that way you're not going to lose hundreds or thousands of dollars you're going to get are completely free to try out then once you get your first few sales organically then you can move into paid ads now how do you create these organic ads I'll put up some really good examples now so you guys can see what good ads actually look like now when you guys are making these ads make sure it is organic to the platform as you guys probably see from the examples none of them just start the video with oh buy this for 20% off go buy it right now you need to make the content similar to all the other videos on the platform let's say you're posting on Tik Tok or Instagram look at other videos on Tik Tok and make sure it doesn't come off too much of an ad because as you guys probably know if you're scrolling on Tik Tok you scroll like half a second every video people are not on Tik Tok to spend money or go shopping they're on Tik Tok to watch entertaining videos If you start off your ad to sales you they're going to scroll right past and you're going to get no views and no sales what you need to do instead is start off your ad as if it's any other Tik Tok so try to use regular Tik Tok ideas inside of your advertisement let's say you're selling like a makeup brush do like a get ready with me or gifting my sister a makeup brush and let's see a reaction or you can do like story times or ugc content reviews now what you can do as well is research your competitors find a couple other people selling either the same product as you or a product in a similar niche and try to recreate their videos if they got 2 million views with a certain hug then try to recreate that hug don't use it word for word cuz you're going to get shadowbanned and taken down but just reward it a little bit and make your own version of it if you do it right you should get 2 million views as well or sometimes you can get even more like 5 million 10 million views if you make it even better now usually you want to edit everything inside the Tik Tok app I wouldn't use a third party like or anything I would just edit inside the Tik Tok app you can choose to use a trending audio or not like that doesn't matter too much it does help if you do use a trending audio though and then before you upload your video on Tik Tok they actually have the option to download the video so you want to just make sure to download it before you post it if you guys have tried drop shoing in the past you know we have to use websites like Snap tick or third parties to do it but they have the feature inside the app now now before you post you guys are probably wondering what hashtags do I use it really doesn't matter don't use weird hashtags like hash4 you page or hasht trending or none of those hashtags just use three or four hashtags related to your product or your niche of your product let's say it's a phone case I would just do # Phone # case # gadgets and leave it at that do not use random hashtags that does not help you get views at all now once this is done just post your Tik Tok and also go on Instagram as well and repost the same video onto Instagram real now for every video you make you have two chances of it going borrow once on Tik Tok and once on Instagram real as well please do not bought any followers make sure you guys do this and post consistently at least two or three times every day the times that you post really does not matter but you should post around like 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and try to spread it out to hours between each post you just want to do this for at least like 2 weeks if you do it right you should get at least a couple videos that go viral and you should get some sales from it now like I said once you start getting your first few sales now your ad should be good enough now you can actually choose to reinvest your profits into running and scaling with paid ads you can change your Tik Tok account to a business account and run what's called spark ads which this video is obviously for you guys that are beginners if you guys start getting sales and want me to make a separate video on more advanced stuff then just let me know down below and I'll do that for you guys but yeah that's honestly about it I hope this is able to help you guys start I was able to completely change my life with Drop Shipping so I hope you guys watching this really take this seriously and actually give it a try if you guys like everything that I just showed you but want a little more help or want to speed up your progress and get sales a little bit faster and I do actually have a mentorship program where we have one-on-one calls group calls and more detailed steps and strategies for you guys to use we have people inside that got their first sales their first 10K sales in a day their first six figure months which I'll show on the screen if you need product reviews
