00:00:00 | 00:00:04 | so i get a variation of this question |
00:00:02 | 00:00:05 | frequently so i wanted to kind of tackle |
00:00:04 | 00:00:08 | it now one of the things that i said |
00:00:05 | 00:00:09 | recently not just in the last video but |
00:00:08 | 00:00:11 | a few videos from then |
00:00:09 | 00:00:13 | and then a few videos from then as well |
00:00:11 | 00:00:14 | is one of the things i recommend for |
00:00:13 | 00:00:17 | facebook drop shipping |
00:00:14 | 00:00:20 | specifically is not necessarily to |
00:00:17 | 00:00:22 | always use the same three |
00:00:20 | 00:00:24 | you know retail sites that everybody |
00:00:22 | 00:00:25 | else uses right so |
00:00:24 | 00:00:27 | to recap what i was basically saying |
00:00:25 | 00:00:29 | before we answer this question |
00:00:27 | 00:00:31 | more in depth for you i was basically |
00:00:29 | 00:00:34 | saying if possible |
00:00:31 | 00:00:36 | don't always use amazon walmart and home |
00:00:34 | 00:00:38 | depot the reason being is |
00:00:36 | 00:00:39 | they are great sites to use don't get me |
00:00:38 | 00:00:41 | wrong right |
00:00:39 | 00:00:42 | you can start with them you can build |
00:00:41 | 00:00:43 | you know a lot of good listings with |
00:00:42 | 00:00:44 | them because you're going to get a lot |
00:00:43 | 00:00:46 | of you're going to be able to use |
00:00:44 | 00:00:48 | the variety like all sorts of their |
00:00:46 | 00:00:50 | listings all sorts of their products and |
00:00:48 | 00:00:52 | they have so many products they have |
00:00:50 | 00:00:53 | great low prices they have fast shipping |
00:00:52 | 00:00:55 | they're reputable companies |
00:00:53 | 00:00:56 | and their product catalogs are just like |
00:00:55 | 00:00:57 | there's so many products to list from |
00:00:56 | 00:01:01 | right |
00:00:57 | 00:01:02 | but that said chances are a lot of other |
00:01:01 | 00:01:04 | beginners that get into this as this |
00:01:02 | 00:01:06 | gets more saturated and |
00:01:04 | 00:01:07 | everybody else that's doing it right now |
00:01:06 | 00:01:09 | also are drop shipping from those same |
00:01:07 | 00:01:11 | suppliers right so you can still use |
00:01:09 | 00:01:13 | them i'm not saying don't use them |
00:01:11 | 00:01:15 | i still list from time to time from |
00:01:13 | 00:01:15 | walmart amazon and home depot as well |
00:01:15 | 00:01:18 | right |
00:01:15 | 00:01:20 | but i'm moving away from that i try not |
00:01:18 | 00:01:21 | to and the majority of my listings are |
00:01:20 | 00:01:23 | not on those three |
00:01:21 | 00:01:25 | retail sites okay so you can go out and |
00:01:23 | 00:01:26 | find wholesale suppliers you can go out |
00:01:25 | 00:01:28 | and find other retail websites i'm going |
00:01:26 | 00:01:29 | to cover specifically how you can do all |
00:01:28 | 00:01:30 | of those here |
00:01:29 | 00:01:32 | and how to find other suppliers that |
00:01:30 | 00:01:34 | nobody else is really seeing here |
00:01:32 | 00:01:36 | in a second okay but the main thing i |
00:01:34 | 00:01:38 | was saying is you don't necessarily have |
00:01:36 | 00:01:40 | to avoid them 100 |
00:01:38 | 00:01:41 | but i'm saying don't build if you're |
00:01:40 | 00:01:42 | starting to build out all your listings |
00:01:41 | 00:01:43 | you don't want to spend all this time |
00:01:42 | 00:01:46 | building out |
00:01:43 | 00:01:49 | 500 to 1000 listings just on amazon |
00:01:46 | 00:01:50 | or 500 to 1000 listings just on walmart |
00:01:49 | 00:01:52 | or something like that right |
00:01:50 | 00:01:54 | don't just use those you can still use |
00:01:52 | 00:01:56 | those but also |
00:01:54 | 00:01:57 | use other retail websites also use other |
00:01:56 | 00:01:59 | wholesale websites potentially |
00:01:57 | 00:02:00 | if you want to go that route as well |
00:01:59 | 00:02:03 | because long term |
00:02:00 | 00:02:05 | over time as you build this out you're |
00:02:03 | 00:02:06 | going to be able to get other listings |
00:02:05 | 00:02:08 | and other products that nobody else is |
00:02:06 | 00:02:09 | listing and therefore |
00:02:08 | 00:02:11 | you can carve out a specific niche |
00:02:09 | 00:02:12 | product for yourself that you don't |
00:02:11 | 00:02:14 | really have a lot of competition for and |
00:02:12 | 00:02:16 | nobody else will necessarily |
00:02:14 | 00:02:18 | be using that supplier and that product |
00:02:16 | 00:02:19 | okay so that's all i was basically |
00:02:18 | 00:02:22 | saying which leads me into |
00:02:19 | 00:02:24 | today's question which is if not those |
00:02:22 | 00:02:26 | three big retailers |
00:02:24 | 00:02:28 | then who okay any suggestions and this |
00:02:26 | 00:02:28 | is a question specifically from dave as |
00:02:28 | 00:02:30 | you can see |
00:02:28 | 00:02:31 | but i've been getting a variation of |
00:02:30 | 00:02:33 | this question a lot ever since i put |
00:02:31 | 00:02:36 | that first tip video out |
00:02:33 | 00:02:38 | and so my main answer literally any site |
00:02:36 | 00:02:39 | that is reliable obviously and ships out |
00:02:38 | 00:02:40 | within three days |
00:02:39 | 00:02:42 | why ships out within three days because |
00:02:40 | 00:02:42 | on facebook you have to input the |
00:02:42 | 00:02:44 | tracking |
00:02:42 | 00:02:46 | within three days after you get the |
00:02:44 | 00:02:48 | order okay so if you do go to the z |
00:02:46 | 00:02:50 | drop website let's x out of this really |
00:02:48 | 00:02:52 | fast and |
00:02:50 | 00:02:54 | you go to the mainz drop website you'll |
00:02:52 | 00:02:56 | see all of these websites listed on |
00:02:54 | 00:02:58 | their home page and you can use |
00:02:56 | 00:03:00 | any one of these websites they're all |
00:02:58 | 00:03:01 | great websites to use some of them are |
00:03:00 | 00:03:04 | better than others some of them |
00:03:01 | 00:03:05 | you know have in a group like they all |
00:03:04 | 00:03:07 | integrate with z drop meaning if you're |
00:03:05 | 00:03:08 | on a listing on overstok.com for |
00:03:07 | 00:03:10 | example |
00:03:08 | 00:03:12 | any of their listings you're going to |
00:03:10 | 00:03:13 | see that z drop button somewhere where |
00:03:12 | 00:03:16 | it says copy over to facebook |
00:03:13 | 00:03:18 | copy over to um to etsy and recently |
00:03:16 | 00:03:19 | they put in copy to mercari although i |
00:03:18 | 00:03:20 | haven't really tested it out too |
00:03:19 | 00:03:22 | too much yet i think i listed like two |
00:03:20 | 00:03:23 | things like that just to see if it |
00:03:22 | 00:03:25 | worked alright |
00:03:23 | 00:03:27 | but so you can use any one of these |
00:03:25 | 00:03:29 | websites here and they all integrate |
00:03:27 | 00:03:31 | with z drop so if you're using z drop |
00:03:29 | 00:03:32 | this is a great place to start use some |
00:03:31 | 00:03:34 | of these other websites |
00:03:32 | 00:03:35 | that aren't amazon walmart and home |
00:03:34 | 00:03:37 | depot okay |
00:03:35 | 00:03:39 | now you don't just have to use these |
00:03:37 | 00:03:40 | obviously you can list a lot faster with |
00:03:39 | 00:03:42 | these okay |
00:03:40 | 00:03:44 | but you can also list from other random |
00:03:42 | 00:03:44 | sites right so i just pulled up randomly |
00:03:44 | 00:03:46 | like |
00:03:44 | 00:03:48 | i because it's it's uh moving in like |
00:03:46 | 00:03:49 | spring now and it's getting nice out i |
00:03:48 | 00:03:51 | was thinking like |
00:03:49 | 00:03:52 | originally like okay where who else has |
00:03:51 | 00:03:54 | like patio furniture that i can list |
00:03:52 | 00:03:56 | that nobody else is listing from |
00:03:54 | 00:03:58 | that i know will ship out fairly fast |
00:03:56 | 00:03:59 | and so i was basically just googling |
00:03:58 | 00:04:00 | like patio furniture |
00:03:59 | 00:04:02 | ended up on raymore and flanagan's |
00:04:00 | 00:04:02 | website just to give you a random |
00:04:02 | 00:04:04 | example |
00:04:02 | 00:04:05 | of another website that you can |
00:04:04 | 00:04:07 | potentially do it from right so for |
00:04:05 | 00:04:08 | example if you find that like patio |
00:04:07 | 00:04:09 | furniture |
00:04:08 | 00:04:12 | and i'm not saying go go list patio |
00:04:09 | 00:04:12 | furniture because while it is a hot item |
00:04:12 | 00:04:14 | right now |
00:04:12 | 00:04:15 | everybody else is in that mindset and |
00:04:14 | 00:04:16 | everybody else is listing patio |
00:04:15 | 00:04:17 | furniture right |
00:04:16 | 00:04:19 | so you don't want to necessarily be |
00:04:17 | 00:04:20 | listing that right now in my opinion i |
00:04:19 | 00:04:22 | have listed it |
00:04:20 | 00:04:23 | i think i've got a lot of views and like |
00:04:22 | 00:04:25 | a couple sales but nothing really has |
00:04:23 | 00:04:26 | taken off crazily for me |
00:04:25 | 00:04:28 | you can list it you can try it you might |
00:04:26 | 00:04:30 | find success with it what i'm saying is |
00:04:28 | 00:04:31 | chances are everybody else is also |
00:04:30 | 00:04:32 | listing that right but i just wanted to |
00:04:31 | 00:04:34 | give you an example of how to find |
00:04:32 | 00:04:35 | another website if you find something |
00:04:34 | 00:04:38 | like |
00:04:35 | 00:04:40 | you know i don't know like uh you free |
00:04:38 | 00:04:41 | if you figure out like lights are hot |
00:04:40 | 00:04:43 | right now it's a terrible example when |
00:04:41 | 00:04:43 | i'm looking up in the corner and i see a |
00:04:43 | 00:04:45 | light right |
00:04:43 | 00:04:47 | so if you find that that's a hot item |
00:04:45 | 00:04:48 | then you can just google like you know |
00:04:47 | 00:04:50 | lights or something like that it's a |
00:04:48 | 00:04:53 | terrible example or like |
00:04:50 | 00:04:55 | you know i don't know bedside clocks |
00:04:53 | 00:04:57 | another random example but you get the |
00:04:55 | 00:04:57 | picture right you go to google you type |
00:04:57 | 00:05:01 | in like |
00:04:57 | 00:05:01 | bedside clock and see what suppliers pop |
00:05:01 | 00:05:03 | up |
00:05:01 | 00:05:05 | pottery barn you see hack you see |
00:05:03 | 00:05:06 | wayfair wayfarer also integrates with |
00:05:05 | 00:05:07 | zdrop as well |
00:05:06 | 00:05:09 | and there's a number of other ones okay |
00:05:07 | 00:05:10 | so you that's ways that you can find |
00:05:09 | 00:05:12 | websites to do this from |
00:05:10 | 00:05:13 | but if you were listing from a website |
00:05:12 | 00:05:14 | where z drop does not integrate then |
00:05:13 | 00:05:17 | it's simple |
00:05:14 | 00:05:20 | obviously let me drag myself over here |
00:05:17 | 00:05:22 | you just take the snap the screenshot or |
00:05:20 | 00:05:23 | the snippet of the actual pictures and |
00:05:22 | 00:05:25 | this takes a little bit longer to do but |
00:05:23 | 00:05:26 | this is how drop shipping used to work |
00:05:25 | 00:05:26 | before there was like integrations like |
00:05:26 | 00:05:28 | z |
00:05:26 | 00:05:29 | drop right so then you take the picture |
00:05:28 | 00:05:30 | you save it you want to take all the |
00:05:29 | 00:05:32 | pictures |
00:05:30 | 00:05:33 | you just copy and paste the description |
00:05:32 | 00:05:35 | and then another thing |
00:05:33 | 00:05:37 | is you have to you know have some kind |
00:05:35 | 00:05:38 | of inventory system right |
00:05:37 | 00:05:40 | because it's not going to store in z |
00:05:38 | 00:05:42 | drop because you're not using z drop to |
00:05:40 | 00:05:43 | actually pull the listings |
00:05:42 | 00:05:45 | so with z drop it actually stores all |
00:05:43 | 00:05:46 | your inventory so you can go back and |
00:05:45 | 00:05:47 | search through it and find that piece of |
00:05:46 | 00:05:48 | inventory |
00:05:47 | 00:05:50 | and you don't need an inventory system |
00:05:48 | 00:05:51 | to keep track of it but if you're not |
00:05:50 | 00:05:52 | using z drop |
00:05:51 | 00:05:54 | and you're taking it from a random |
00:05:52 | 00:05:54 | website like this where you're not using |
00:05:54 | 00:05:56 | z drop |
00:05:54 | 00:05:58 | then obviously you need to have an |
00:05:56 | 00:05:59 | inventory system so i'm not going to |
00:05:58 | 00:06:00 | cover that specifically here |
00:05:59 | 00:06:02 | go watch a tutorial that i've done in |
00:06:00 | 00:06:04 | the past on facebook drop shipping |
00:06:02 | 00:06:06 | and you can watch my inventory system |
00:06:04 | 00:06:08 | and how i do that with numbers and then |
00:06:06 | 00:06:10 | folders it's very very simple |
00:06:08 | 00:06:11 | anybody can set that up okay so that's |
00:06:10 | 00:06:13 | an example of any other website |
00:06:11 | 00:06:15 | any other way that you can find products |
00:06:13 | 00:06:17 | like this okay now if you're on a site |
00:06:15 | 00:06:19 | like amazon for example |
00:06:17 | 00:06:21 | drag myself over if you're on a site |
00:06:19 | 00:06:22 | like amazon for example right |
00:06:21 | 00:06:24 | and obviously this is a bad example |
00:06:22 | 00:06:26 | because with z drop it integrates up |
00:06:24 | 00:06:28 | here so you can just move over and copy |
00:06:26 | 00:06:30 | to facebook but you can also |
00:06:28 | 00:06:31 | if you're not on a site like amazon you |
00:06:30 | 00:06:33 | can download |
00:06:31 | 00:06:35 | another like ecommerce plug-in for for |
00:06:33 | 00:06:36 | google chrome like ecommerce image |
00:06:35 | 00:06:38 | downloader right here |
00:06:36 | 00:06:39 | and you'll see it pop up with something |
00:06:38 | 00:06:41 | like this where you can literally just |
00:06:39 | 00:06:42 | download all the pictures super fast and |
00:06:41 | 00:06:44 | you don't need to take screenshots right |
00:06:42 | 00:06:46 | and you can get one that integrates on |
00:06:44 | 00:06:47 | like a number of websites i just hit |
00:06:46 | 00:06:49 | download instead of download all that |
00:06:47 | 00:06:50 | was my mistake so i need to download all |
00:06:49 | 00:06:52 | the pictures and you'll see just how |
00:06:50 | 00:06:56 | fast it downloads all the pictures |
00:06:52 | 00:06:58 | to my folder go into downloads |
00:06:56 | 00:06:59 | and bam all the pictures are right there |
00:06:58 | 00:07:01 | i don't need to save them |
00:06:59 | 00:07:02 | i don't need to do anything it doesn't |
00:07:01 | 00:07:03 | take me and it saves me a lot of time it |
00:07:02 | 00:07:05 | doesn't take me like |
00:07:03 | 00:07:07 | two minutes to screenshot and save all |
00:07:05 | 00:07:09 | the pictures okay and then all you have |
00:07:07 | 00:07:10 | to do is obviously set the price |
00:07:09 | 00:07:12 | copy and paste the listing make the |
00:07:10 | 00:07:15 | title and you get the picture okay |
00:07:12 | 00:07:16 | so that's the short answer obviously of |
00:07:15 | 00:07:18 | if not |
00:07:16 | 00:07:19 | the big three retailers where else can |
00:07:18 | 00:07:22 | you list from you can list from |
00:07:19 | 00:07:24 | any of these actual websites right here |
00:07:22 | 00:07:26 | that z drop integrates with |
00:07:24 | 00:07:27 | or you can go rogue and go somewhere |
00:07:26 | 00:07:28 | else where you know nobody else is |
00:07:27 | 00:07:29 | really going to be using because this is |
00:07:28 | 00:07:30 | easy |
00:07:29 | 00:07:32 | obviously and it integrates with all |
00:07:30 | 00:07:33 | these websites you can do with them very |
00:07:32 | 00:07:35 | fast and that's a benefit |
00:07:33 | 00:07:36 | but also everybody else is also using |
00:07:35 | 00:07:37 | these websites and drop shipping from |
00:07:36 | 00:07:40 | these and so |
00:07:37 | 00:07:42 | if you do go and do other listings from |
00:07:40 | 00:07:43 | other websites that also might be a |
00:07:42 | 00:07:45 | benefit because while it might take you |
00:07:43 | 00:07:46 | slower to be able to list them |
00:07:45 | 00:07:48 | you know even if you're using like an |
00:07:46 | 00:07:49 | e-commerce image downloader or something |
00:07:48 | 00:07:51 | like that |
00:07:49 | 00:07:52 | no not many other people are listing and |
00:07:51 | 00:07:54 | drop shipping on facebook marketplace |
00:07:52 | 00:07:55 | from those sites okay |
00:07:54 | 00:07:57 | so i just wanted to kind of touch on |
00:07:55 | 00:07:58 | that really fast i wanted to answer that |
00:07:57 | 00:07:59 | question because i've been seeing a |
00:07:58 | 00:08:01 | variation of that question |
00:07:59 | 00:08:03 | a lot recently and i kind of wanted to |
00:08:01 | 00:08:04 | tackle it for you i'm not saying |
00:08:03 | 00:08:06 | don't ever list from those that's not |
00:08:04 | 00:08:07 | what i'm saying all i was saying is |
00:08:06 | 00:08:10 | saying |
00:08:07 | 00:08:11 | don't build every single listing if |
00:08:10 | 00:08:14 | you're scaling this up |
00:08:11 | 00:08:15 | from those you know maybe do like 60 40 |
00:08:14 | 00:08:17 | right like 60 |
00:08:15 | 00:08:19 | amazon walmart and ebay or amazon |
00:08:17 | 00:08:20 | walmart ebay is |
00:08:19 | 00:08:22 | another one we'll throw that one in |
00:08:20 | 00:08:22 | there and home depot and then like you |
00:08:22 | 00:08:24 | know |
00:08:22 | 00:08:26 | some other random ones as well right or |
00:08:24 | 00:08:28 | 70 30 or something like that or even 50 |
00:08:26 | 00:08:29 | 50 okay |
00:08:28 | 00:08:30 | the main thing i wanted to hit home is |
00:08:29 | 00:08:33 | you know you're gonna know what works |
00:08:30 | 00:08:34 | for you by doing it and testing it out |
00:08:33 | 00:08:36 | nobody can sit here and make videos and |
00:08:34 | 00:08:37 | tell you the best products to list |
00:08:36 | 00:08:38 | specifically |
00:08:37 | 00:08:40 | because it like i said before it's gonna |
00:08:38 | 00:08:41 | depend on your location it's going to |
00:08:40 | 00:08:42 | depend on on your price it's going to |
00:08:41 | 00:08:44 | depend |
00:08:42 | 00:08:45 | on a number of other things the only way |
00:08:44 | 00:08:47 | that you're going to find products that |
00:08:45 | 00:08:47 | work for you is to actually list from |
00:08:47 | 00:08:50 | them |
00:08:47 | 00:08:52 | and so i would recommend trying both of |
00:08:50 | 00:08:54 | them don't avoid those three |
00:08:52 | 00:08:56 | but definitely don't make them like you |
00:08:54 | 00:08:57 | know the bones of your store |
00:08:56 | 00:08:59 | so hope that helps i hope that answers |
00:08:57 | 00:09:01 | your question guys if you have any other |
00:08:59 | 00:09:02 | questions just drop them in the comments |
00:09:01 | 00:09:03 | below and i'd love to answer them for |
00:09:02 | 00:09:04 | you |
00:09:03 | 00:09:05 | and if i get enough questions on a |
00:09:04 | 00:09:07 | similar topic maybe i'll make another |
00:09:05 | 00:09:08 | video like this so hope you enjoyed the |
00:09:07 | 00:09:11 | video |
00:09:08 | 00:09:11 | and i'll see in the next one |
