How to Create a Shopify Dropshipping Store in 2023 (STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL)

in this video, i'll show you, step by step, how to create a branded shopify drop shipping store from complete scratch. we're gonna take this product that we can find on aliexpress for eight dollars and we're going to create a professional and branded shopify drop shipping store around that product so we can sell it for 30 dollars and make a good profit. this simple store setup is gonna work for any drop shipping product, so feel free to follow along with this video and build your own store for the product that you want to sell. so let's get started. [Music]. the first thing we're gonna do is get us a free trial for shopify. so head over to medicsmediacom slash shopify or simply click on the first link down below in the video description. this will take you to my special shopify landing page where, depending on when you watch this, you'll be able to find special offers like an extended trial or a discount price for the first few months of using shopify. so just type in your email and click on start free trial. then we're going to choose a password and a store name. we're going to skip all the survey questions to save some time. that will take us into the shopify dashboard. the first thing i like to do is select a shopify plan. so let's click on select a plan. here i'm gonna select the monthly payment option and i'm gonna go for the basic plan, which has everything we need for this store. then we need to add a payment method right here and once that's done, we can click on start plan. now we are still in the free trial, so we will only get charged if we don't cancel our plan within the 14 day free trial period. the next step we're going to do is choose a theme for our store. so let's click on online store and go to themes. here we can see that the current theme of our store is the dawn theme, which is the default one. when we scroll down, we can also find different free themes that we can use. personally, i like to use the sense theme. it looks very modern and clean, which is perfect for our branded dropshipping store, so i'm going to add this one to my store. once the new theme is installed, we're going to click on publish, which will activate this theme on our store. the next step is to import our product from aliexpress. we're going to use an app called deezers to make this very quick and easy. in the video description you'll find a link to these artists, and when you click on that link, you'll end up on this page right here, where we're going to click on try it free to create our account. once logged in, we're going to click on shopify, which will take us to the shopify app store. here we're going to click on add app, then click yes and then click install app to add the users to the shopify store. then here we're going to go with the free plan and click on get started. then we need to connect users to aliexpress as well. so let's click on aliexpress and then here we can either log in to our existing aliexpress account or simply create a new account. once logged in, we're going to click on let's start importing products. we're going to skip this tutorial here and now there's one more step, which is installing the desource chrome extension. so let's go to home and click on chrome extension- add to chrome. and now we're going to pin this extension to our browser by clicking on the little puzzle icon and making sure the pin is blue. and now we have the desors chrome extension right here. so let's click on it and then click on deezers. that will take us back to their home page, where we're going to click on login and that will activate the chrome extension. now we are ready to import our product so we can go to aliexpress and find the product that we want to sell on our store. we're going to click on this button that says add to deezers. now let's go back to our deserts dashboard and go to import list, which will show us our product. before we add this product to our shopify store, we're going to click on edit product and then, under variance, we're going to make sure to only keep the variants that we actually want to sell on our store. then we're going to click on save and now we can click here to push this product to our shopify store, make sure this box is tiked and then click push to shopify. now, when we go back to our shopify dashboard and go to products, we should be able to see our imported product. so let's click on it and make some changes. i'm gonna first delete the product title and the description that was imported from aliexpress, so now we need to come up with a brand name for this product and store. i like to use a site called namelickscom to get some inspiration for brand names, and i always make sure to check if the dot com domain is available for my brand name using the site namecheckercom for this product, i've decided to go with the name my easy breeze, so i'm going to set this name for the product title, followed by mini cooling fan. for the product description, we want to spend some time creating a good copy, including the main benefits of using this product and also including images or gifs showing this product in action. i like to look at competitor stores and also add amazon listings for this product to find out what the main selling points are. the way i find competitor stores selling the same product is by doing a google image search. so i go to google images and click on this icon here. then i screenshot one of the product images from aliexpress, drag and drop it here and then click on find image source. that will show me all the online stores that are currently selling this product, and i also make sure to read a lot of reviews on aliexpress and competitor stores to get a good idea of what customers are looking for. if i can find a video of the product, i like to use a site called easyjiffcom to create gifs out of the video. i put everything together in the description, highlighting the main selling points and also adding visuals to these selling points. then i make the headlines a heading 3 and also make sure they are centered, and i'm also going to center the gifs as well. then we're going to move on to the images. if the images that were imported from aliexpress are high quality, then we can keep them. otherwise, we want to search the web for more images of this product. these are the images that i decided to use for the product page. you can simply rearrange them however you like by just dragging them around like this. then, under options, i'm going to delete this one and i'm going to keep the color options. then we have the variance for this product to make some adjustments here. let's click on add variant. we want to make sure that each variant is connected to the correct image, so we can click here and select the right image for this variant. then, under pricing, we're going to set the price for this product. to make a good profit, we obviously have to sell at a higher price than what we can get this product for on aliexpress. so i'm setting the price to 29.99 and at a compare price of 59.99, so that on the product page it will show that this product is 50 off, and i'm gonna do that for all the other variants as well. then we're gonna go back and scroll all the way down to the search engine listing. here i'm gonna click on edit and make sure that the url for our product looks nice and clean, and then we're gonna save the changes. now let's go and see how our product page looks like on our actual store. so we're gonna go to online store and then click on customize. this will take us to the shopify store editor, where we can make changes to our store design. let's switch from the home page to the product page right here, and then let's switch from desktop view to mobile view. most people will be visiting our store from a mobile phone, which is why i like to edit the store on mobile view as well. so here we can see exactly how our product page currently looks like. the first thing i'm going to do here is delete everything we don't need on this page. here on the left side, i can simply select the section i want to delete and then click on remove sect.

I've been Drop Shipping since 2017. I've generated millions of dollars with the business model, and so I know a thing or two about it. it's not like I just had my first hundred dollar day and I'm coming on here to make videos. it's not like that by any means. now there's also going to be a huge announcement at the end of the video. so make sure you stik around. it's going to be in an insane opportunity where you could potentially win thousands and thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars for simply just starting Drop Shipping and having a successful store. but I'll wait to explain that till the end of the video. so just stik around, take notes and then, by the end of the video, you're gonna have an insane opportunity on your hands that I think, is like one of its kind. so just sit tight and hang on, get a notepad ready, because we honestly have a ton of work to do, so let's get into it. first things first, we need to make a Shopify store, so I will have a link below. but this is essentially the backbone of your business and this is exactly where you'll be housing your website. so once you put an email in- I created a simple one that sounds very clever: subscribe to seb's channel. if you're watching this, subscribe might as well. I'm showing you, guys, how to start a Shopify business. so then, once you do that, just click Start your free trial, and then this will essentially take you through a ton of stuff that you don't honestly even need to do so. just click Skip, Skip and Skip. you don't even need to put a store name in. you can change it at any time, so it does not really matter. you will need to select your country, so select that I'm currently in us, and then for create a shopping ID. I just continue with Google and then select my email and then that's kind of it. your Shopify store is now being built and it's not like it's going to be completed, but you'll have the account now. so now you can actually lay the framework and start building out the store. I'll quickly go over, though how to actually set all this stuff up and how to use your Shopify store. so this is the home page. this is where you're going to start seeing all your orders and stuff. essentially, like, it's not going to show up right now because we haven't picked a plan and done anything, so it's going to try and like force us to do tons of stuff like add some apps, make products, do a name, customize the theme domain, all that stuff and tons of other good stuff. so that is the home page, but once you have this all set up, it will show you the orders you have today, the visits and stuff like that, and then orders. this is essentially once people place an order. this is where the info will go. and then, for the products tab, this is, if you guys want to guess, this is where all the products show up. so I'll show you guys exactly how to add products to your store and how to fulfill them, even like when you get orders in and your customers actually place an order and they show up here- how to Auto fulfill them. so you guys don't need to use AliExpress- ditch that old stuff, it doesn't work anymore. there's other, better ways to fulfill your orders with Shopify- and so I'll show you how to do all that stuff: how to add products. and then customers: finances analytiks is actually very important. this is going to show you sales sessions, returning customer rate, your conversion rate. so if 100 people land on your site and only one person buys, it will be a one percent conversion rate. it even breaks it down further and just tons of good stuff. so this is the backbone of your business. but, more importantly, what we need to do is go to apps. so what we're going to do is just type in what's called Zen drop. so type that in and this is going to be where you actually fulfill your orders and once customers Place orders, they are going to be the company that is helping you out with getting the product from their warehouse into the customer's hands automated. so there's a way to do it completely automated, where you literally don't even have to click, place order or fulfill order. they handle everything. we've done thousands of orders per day with zendrop. they are an amazing supplier and Company. I want have an affiliate link. I don't want to scare you guys off and think like Zen drops a scam and I'm just doing this video to help them out. I'm not at all. but for password, we will just put in, uh, something random and then let's do this. let's hope I remembered it. I think that's it for phone number. I'm gonna do a basic one. hopefully that works. we'll see a text message and then let's see if that works. yeah, cool, that works. so we're good to go. the accounts made. I didn't put my real phone number in, so don't try calling me. but once you get into the account, this is where the fun begins. so now you can just kind of surf around four cool products and see essentially what you want to sell. you can do this. there are tons of other ways to find products. now I kind of already know products that sell well, but if you guys want more in-depth details on product research and stuff, I will have a link below for a free Drop Shipping course. it's completely free. it took me a few weeks to film and I released it for free with one of my business partners, Sebastian Georgia. so again, the course is free. we're like giving you everything I do on a daily basis for the Drop Shipping business for free. so again, all the link below for that. like I did mention, I already know some products that are working well, so we can just do like. there are a few I'm seeing right now that do well. we can just kind of pick one of them. I always like to sell problem solving products, so we can just say: like this hot and cold gel therapy mask, it's a good product. I've seen it on tiktok a little bit, so we'll just click it and then essentially all you have to do to get the product from zendrop onto your website. you don't need to go on here and then go to products and create a product. it's nothing like that and this is completely ditching AliExpress. all you do is again add that app, click add to import list, go to import list and then right here, all you'll need to do is edit your description if you want to edit the variants. so one of the things you'll need to do is edit the sale price. for myself, I would want to have at least like a 3X markup, so we'll just say: nine dollars plus six dollars is going to be 15.. so we can sell this for 39.99. that's a decent enough margin- and then just plug that in for every single color- and I'm just copy and pasting it just to make my life easy- and then from there we're profiting to twenty five dollars per sale. so if we get 10 sales, we will be profiting 250 dollars. next, you need to select the photos. so make sure you are not selecting photos that look like they came from AliExpress or came from somewhere bad, because if you guys do that, it's gonna look scammy. I saw other videos where people were trying to show you guys how to make a website and the photos all look like this and like this and like this and like this and like this. that's not what actually works, and take this from someone who actually knows what they're.

right. so first things first, load up your computer, go over to google and type in shopifycom or hit the link in my description. if you guys want an extended free trial, click on shopify and click start free trial. go ahead and type in your email and create a password- i recommend creating a brand new gmail account, as it is easier to keep all your business stuff in one place instead of cluttering it in with your personal emails- and create your store name- and, honestly, this part doesn't really matter, because you can always go back and change the name and purchase a new domain name later. so for now, i'm just going to call this nathan's first store- not actually my first store, but that's what we're calling it. shopify is going to go ahead and ask you a few questions, whether you're just starting out or if you're already selling. what you can do is just go ahead and skip this entire part, as it's not super necessary in the beginning and you don't really need to answer those questions. however, you do need to put in your country and then hit enter my store. so if you made it to this part, you actually made it farther than 99 of people who say they're gonna start an online business. you now have your own dashboard and storefront with shopify, so the home page here is basically gonna prompt you to complete a bunch of steps in order to get your store up and running. next thing, we have an orders tab over here which is gonna track and manage all the orders that are gonna be coming through later. the next one: we have products, where you're gonna be managing the different products and inventory that you have. the customer tab, where you're gonna control everything that's customer related in one single place. analytiks, where you're going to see the daily view. you know how much you're making- your average order value, conversion rates- all that important stuff. a marketing channel: we're going to keep track of all the different ways your marketing on your store. discount codes, if you want to make unique discount codes for certain people to shop. and lastly but most importantly, the online store sales channel itself, where you're gonna be creating the website, choosing the theme, adding blog posts, if that's what you want, creating other pages like a contact us and a track your order page, making the navigation menus and the footer menus different preferences about your store. and just before we jump into actually building a store, i do want to run you through just the most important things that you should fix up on your settings. so the first thing, over here in store details, you want to change the currency to usd. i mean, 90 of my customers, i would say, come from the united states and if you're on the same boat, i would recommend having your currency set to usd [Music] and just go ahead and click save. besides that, you can start to fill out your billing information so they can bill you eventually. when you get off of the free trial, you can start to set up staff accounts. if you're working on this business with somebody else, you can start to set up your bank account so that they can actually pay you when you make orders. and beyond that, there's not a whole lot that we need to do in the very beginning in the settings. so now it's time to find our first product so that we can actually start making some sales down here, you'll notike this section called apps. you just want to come over here and click add apps. it'll take you straight to the shopify app store if you click the link at the bottom, and this is where you want to be: to go ahead and get an app that allows you to import a product in one click. now, oberlo was a big app that allowed you to do this before. i'm not even too sure it's still on the shopify app store. no, it's not. in fact, it's been completely removed, and this is the best way for beginners to get started was to use oberlo and one click add a product from aliexpress to their store. but with oberlo gone, we need an alternative, and deezers is actually partnered with overload to kind of pick up and take over where oberlo left off. but good news for you is that deezers is actually a whole lot more complete and allows you to automate so many more tasks that oberlo just didn't have the functionalities for. the first thing you want to do is go ahead and click on this app and then just click add app and it's going to give you again a 14 day free trial, so you don't have to spend any money out of your pocket. go ahead and click install app, and then it's going to prompt you to a page where you need to create an account for yourself. now don't get scared away by the 499 per month enterprise plan, as all we need right now is the basic free plan and just go ahead and click get started. the next thing is that we need to go ahead and link deezers to aliexpress. so if you just click this logo right here, it's going to take us right through to aliexpress and ideally, you want to already have an account set up. if you don't, it's super quick and easy to make an account on aliexpress. just click authorize and then you're going to get this little support bot and obviously what we want to do at this point is start importing products and figuring out which products we want to sell on our store. it's going to take you through a really quick guide, but i don't real.

that i usually don't do. i'm gonna give away a free one-on-one coaching call to one of you. to enter the giveaway, just drop a comment down below, follow me on instagram and dm me. when you're done, i'll be announcing the winner for this next friday. anyways, let's get started with the video. first things first. here are some live results that i'm getting with this exact template. so, as you can see halfway through the day, i've already done over 2500 in sales and if we look at yesterday's stats, you can see that this store is averaging around five thousand dollars a day. everybody is always asking about profit, so let's take a look. yesterday i did around fifteen hundred dollars in profit and today, so far, halfway through the day, i'm at around in profit, which is close to 30 daily margin. i'm not showing this to brag, but just to prove that this layout is working. today, i figured the best way to explain this would be to make a sample store that follows this exact template, so that's what i did. let's have a look at that sample store. so this is a store that i created in the home and garden niche- the type of stores that i like to build to test products look just like this. basically, we're building a nice, clean, branded store with good logo, good images, multiple collections inside of that niche, high quality products and images and, overall, a trustworthy and legitimate feel. i get dms every single day of people asking me: why am i struggling to see results? and then i look at their store and it looks like this: if you take the time to make a nice, clean, branded website, seeing success with ecommerce is going to be so much easier. this kind of store is perfect for testing products because it is branded, it has a trustworthy feel, but it's also broad enough that you can test a variety of products without being too constrained. i like to call this kind of store a hybrid store. it basically bridges the gap between a general and niche store. building a store like this is really not that difficult, so i'm gonna break down how to do it right now. the first thing that you're gonna need to come up with is a clean name and logo. to come up with names, i highly recommend you guys check out this tool called lean domain search. basically, you can take any word or phrase that you like and plug it into here and they're gonna show you websites that are ready to go that have this word inside of it. so in my case, i used the word flora because it fit perfectly for the home and garden space, and i scrolled and scrolled until i found the name flora flow, which i really like. all of the names on this website are available to purchase for the com domain right away, so i would take some time and try to come up with at least five phrases that would fit with your branding. so now that you've come up with a name, you need to create a logo now. i know graphic design might be intimidating to a lot of you, but nowadays there are a ton of tools that make it incredibly simple. one of my favorite tools to do this is actually called canva. canva has a bunch of these logo templates already built into the app, and it's actually what i use to build the flora flow logo. you can literally scroll through their library and find a clean logo for your brand in seconds and know this video is not sponsored by them. i just really like their product. so, as you can see, the template that i use for the floraflow logo is right here. i literally typed in flower. i looked at the options, i found this one and i just simply typed in the logo name and then i made it a little bigger, centered it in the middle and i deleted the bottom and i made a logo for the brand in 10 seconds. now, look, it's going to take you longer than 10 seconds and you shouldn't rush the process, but i would highly advise you guys. use that tool to build your logo. i'm also a big fan of photoshop. for my brand that i'm running right now, i designed my logo in photoshop, but it's a lot more advanced and not very beginner friendly. once you've got a name and a logo, the next step is to build out a nice home page for your store. now, when you're running ads to this store, typically you're going to send people to the product pages. yeah, you might have a cool product, you might have a cool product page, but if your customer starts browsing around your website and they get a weird vibe, they're not going to spend money with you and even if they do, the chances of them remembering your brand and buying again are so slim. so this is the exact layout that i use for all of my home pages. let's break it down. there are a ton of themes to use on shopify and it can kind of be overwhelming. this store is actually built on the impulse theme, which is by far one of my favorite paid themes, and if you're looking for a good free theme, i recommend that you guys check out debutify. i've used both of them and personally i like impulse a little better, but if you're on a low budget, debutify is an amazing option. first things first. we need a nice and clean header. try to come up with something creative that introduces the people to your brand in a very inviting way. now i could have easily wrote the best products for your home and garden, but i think it's much better to put something that has a little bit more flair and life to it. so in this example, i put stylus essentials for the modern home designed to elevate your lifestyle. if you're struggling with copywriting, just go look at some of the biggest brands out there. in terms of this image and all the images on the site, shopify actually provides a bunch of really sick free images and a lot of people don't know about this. so if you go down to image and you click on change and you go to free images, you can search up almost anything. so in my case, i searched up flower and you'll see that shopify has a bunch of these really nice high quality images that they're constantly updating almost every single week, and they're really fire. the next thing i do is typically put one of our collections on display. in this case it's the best sellers, because those are my favorite products on the store, so i wanted to put those front and center and when they click on it, you're gonna see that these are our top selling products and a nice, clean, organized page. we also give them an offer with up to fifty 50 off on the select products, and it's just something that gives them some incentive to click and start shopping. the next thing that i really like to do is show some type of mission statement for the brand. i think that this really helps your customers connect with you and feel like they're a part of something greater than just buying a product. so you can see, what i put here is that we want to help over 10 000 people create their dream environment through providing our own unique products worldwide. now, this is going to be different for everybody, so make sure that you come with something unique for your brand. and once again, i just took the image directly from shopify. now, the next thing that i threw in here: it was just a promotion. you don't need to have this, but i included it because i thought it looked nice, so you can just see it's 50 off of our spring and summer collection. and then i just put a little blurb about stay at home and stay at peace with these essentials t.

How I Built A $1,000,000 Shopify Dropshipping Store (Step-By-Step)

in this video, I'm going to reveal exactly how I went from zero to one million dollars with my Shopify Drop Shipping Store, and I'll literally be revealing everything, like the exact product I'm selling on this store right now, the exact strategy that I follow and tips that help me scale to 1 million dollars that no one really toks about. so let's get right into it and first things first. the main problem I notiked with most people that start Drop Shipping is they actually never end up taking action. so my best piece of advice is, honestly, just start. you're never gonna have all the answers, and so your best bet is just to learn as you go, and something I think that will help you out a lot is reading these three books. honestly, without these three books, I don't think I'd be here today. so definitely check those out. but anyways, let's move on to the juicy part, which is exactly how I took my business from zero to a million dollars in sales. okay, so I've been running this store for about two years now, and when I first started, the first two months weren't profitable at all. I basically made no money, but I was patient and consistent and eventually I got it to work. and when I first started the dropshipping business, of course, the first thing I did was look for a good product to sell, and I will be revealing the product that I'm selling on the store, which is Pimple patches. and yes, I know it does seem like a pretty basic product that literally everyone has sold already, but you need to realize that with the right marketing, this is an excellent product to sell. this product is in high demand and it solves a huge problem for people with acne. and the key thing here I want to highlight is, let's say, a customer comes to my store, they purchase the pimple patches and they end up using them and it works for them. well, then, they're actually likely to come back to my store again and purchase the pimple patches, and this here is so important because now I'm gonna have repeat customers that come and purchase my product every single month, and that also means I can make a lot more money. and so what I actually ended up doing on my store was get customers to purchase a subscription. so basically, a customer would come to my store and subscribe for, let's say, 20 a month, and so every single month they would then get a new package of pimple patches. now imagine I had 300 customers paying me 20 every single month. that would mean I'm making six thousand dollars every single month, consistently. so you can see why selling a subscription-based product is the way to go. and if you're wondering what a good subscription-based product is, it's literally just a product that people buy on a regular basis. for example, a facial razor, any kind of skin care products, candles, even something like coffee would be a subscription-based product. so there's so many subscription-based products out there. you just have to pick something you think has a lot of demand. and for anyone wanting to learn my exact strategy to build dropshipping businesses, just like this one, I do have a Drop Shipping mentorship that you can join, which I'll leave a link for in the description of this video. but anyways, moving on now, the next important step is how you actually find a winning product. so, honestly, you can use pretty much any software, like Niche scraper, Two Fine winning products, and that's what I do all the time. but I honestly believe the best way to find winning products is just by using tiktok. and there's two ways I use tiktok to find winning products. so the first thing I do is go on The tiktok creative Center and I just scroll down here and where it says top forming ads, I'll just click on view more and now it's going to show you a bunch of viral ads running on tiktok. this could be just drop shipping products or any product, and I've honestly found multiple winning products looking here, and you can even add filters depending on what you're looking for, but honestly, I do think you will find a bunch of good products here. now, another way you can find winning products using tiktok is just log into your tiktok account and search up tiktok- made me buy it- then go ahead and filter the results to last three months and now you're actually going to see a bunch of relevant videos with winning products. and yes, sure, it may take you a few days to find some good products that you actually want to sell, but you do have to be patient. now moving on, once you actually find a good product, the next step is to find a good supplier. this is extremely important. if you're using AliExpress, you're probably going to get 30 to 60 days shipping time, which is not ideal, so you definitely want to avoid AliExpress, but instead you can use something like spocket or Central. I use both these suppliers and they're great, and I'll leave a link for spocket and send drop in the description of this video if you want to check them out. okay, moving on now. now the next important thing is actually building your Shopify store, and I'll have a link to shopify's free trial in the description of this video if you did want to check out Shopify or build your own store. but anyways, the store is so important because it actually has to look like a real brand. I always like to go with the clean, simple look, and it usually takes me about a week to build my store and for all my Shopify store. I always do use a few apps to boost my revenue and for this store in partikular, an app I use that I believe is essential if you want to build a one million dollar business is tax card, and I've used this app to recover abandoned cards with SMS. so, for example, let's say a customer reaches checkout at my store but they never actually end up purchasing the product. well then, what I can do is use SMS marketing, which means sending them automated text messages to hopefully get them to come back to my store and actually purchase the product. but anyways, I do actually want to show you how I use the Shopify app text card to boost my Revenue. okay, so the first thing you have to do is go to the Shopify App Store and search for text card and then, once you see it here, you just have to add the app to your store. so once you're in the app, you do have to go through these steps. so here I always select the 20 discount, because what this does is it will tax those customers who didn't end up purchasing and will give them a custom code to use to get the 20 off their entire order. so then they're likely to come back to your store and actually end up purchasing. okay, so now I do want to show you another way. I use this app to boost my Revenue by up to 10. so, aside from abandoned car recovery here in this section, where it says campaigns, you can actually send a text message to all your subscribers and advertise whatever you want. so if you're having a huge sale on your store, you can go ahead and let them know. so, honestly, it's just another way you can advertise your store, and if you do plan to actually scale and build a long-term brand that will hit over a million dollars in sales, you definitely should be using an app like this, since you don't want to miss out on any sales, and I'll have a link to text car in the description of this video if you want to add it to your Shopify store and if you are looking for a full Shopify store tutorial, I do have a video on my channel channel that you can check out. but anyways, moving on now, let's say you have your Shopify store Built. Well, now the next step is to actually advertise your store, and for this store that I've been running for two years, I literally never ran ads except for in August and September. so it's literally just been two months since I've started running ads, but before that I never really felt the need to run ads. I was literally just promoting my products for free on tik tok, Instagram and Pinterest, and I do want to share my strategy and what helped me scale to 1 million dollars. so pretty much what I did was order my products. then I created tons of viral videos with the products and I used a lot of apps to help me. o.
