Easiest Way To Start Dropshipping From Scratch (Exactly What I Did)

trying to start a dropshipping store can be overwhelming. with so many different steps and strategies, it's hard to even know where to start. so in this video, i'm going to share my exact strategy for starting a new drop shipping store from scratch, and in the last couple months, i've built a new store with this strategy, and that store has already done close to 900 000 in sales. so if i had to start over today, this is exactly what i would do. if you're new here, my name is jordan and i'm currently documenting the entire process of growing my online business with as much transparency as possible, so that i can lead by example and help you start your own online business this year. so if you're interested in starting your own online store and you want to follow my journey, make sure to subscribe for new videos every single friday. all right, let's get started. firstly, i want to show you some live results that i'm getting with this exact strategy. so it's around halfway through the day and i've already generated around 3 800 in sales on this store. the profit margin is pretty good as well. i've done almost fifteen hundred dollars in profit, which is almost a forty percent profit margin, and if we take a look at yesterday's stats, you can see i sold around sixty seven hundred dollars and made around eighteen hundred dollars in profit. i just wanted to prove to you that this is working right now. so you know it's worth your time to watch this whole video. so there are four main things that go into building a successful drop shipping store. the first one is your product. the second one is your store. the third is your marketing and how you get customers, and the fourth is running your business and shipping out your orders. now i'm gonna break down each of these one by one as simple as possible. so let's get started with products. so without a winning product, it's pretty much impossible to have success with drop shipping. thankfully, there are a ton of products out there that you can sell. every single week, new winning products pop up, so the opportunities are always fresh. there's really only three things that i look for when determining if a product is a winning product. the first thing is if the product has been recently trending on facebook and instagram. what i mean by trending is that there is a ad that is getting a ton of views, shares, comments and likes and people are going crazy for the product. this is a great sign that you can make money off of this product because people are already interested in it. as long as you do something a little bit better than the person that's already selling it, you can swoop right in, compete with them and make money selling that same product. this is exactly what i've done for every single one of my winning products and it's worked time and time again. the next thing i look for is mass appeal. my favorite type of products are the ones that can be sold to the masses. i don't love the extremely narrowed down products that only apply to a small set of people. yes, they will buy the product, but if we ever want to scale and build something big, we need something that we can sell to almost everybody. it's okay if it's a little narrow, like it's only for women or it's only for men, but the broader the better. the last thing i look for is good profit margins. what i consider to be good profit margins is being able to sell the product for three times the cost it takes to ship it out to the customer. so if the product costs you around 10 to send it to your customer, you want to be able to sell it for at least 30, and that's pretty much all i look for in a winning product. let me show you a live example of exactly what i'm toking about. okay, so this product is an absolute banger. basically, it is a garden privacy fence that you set up in your backyard. as you can see, this product was launched on march 8th of this year and they've already got over 70 000 likes on this post. if you check out the comments, people are going crazy for this. they love it, they really enjoy the product. but the people that are selling it aren't doing a good job and if we look at their video, it's not really that good. and then if we go to their website, it's the same thing. it's really not that good. this product has great profit margins as well. you can see that it cost around four dollars on the low end to ship to a customer and they're selling it for anywhere from 1999 all the way up to almost a hundred dollars per sale. so if you came in and made a slightly better video, a slightly better website, you could clean up off of this product and make a ton of money. so, like i said, that product is an absolute banger and a perfect example of a winning product. now, how do you find these products? the tried and true method that i've been using for years is simply just looking on your facebook and instagram feed. every single day, you're going to get targeted with ads for drop shipping products eventually, and every time you get targeted with one of these ads, you need to show facebook that you're interested. so you want to go to the ad, you want to like, you want to comment, you want to go to the website, you want to click add to cart and show facebook that you're trying to buy stuff like this. so they will start recommending you more products and your feed is just going to become the best product research tool that you have. that's my favorite method, but i also created a tool that automates this process. so if you want to check that out, click the link down below. alright, so step number one is finding a product that fits this criteria. so once you've got that product, now you've got to build a store. now there are a couple different types of stores that you could build. you could build a general store, which is a store that has a bunch of random products all around it. you could build a one product store, which is a store that only focuses on selling one main product, or you can build a hybrid store, which is what i recommend. building a hybrid store combines the benefit of a one product store and a general store. with a general store, you have freedom to test a bunch of products, and with a one product store you're limited, but you're gonna have a higher conversion rate and people are gonna trust you much more than a general store. with a hybrid store, you're creating the same branded feel that a one product store would have, but with the freedom to test a bunch of products. i think it's better if i just show you an example. so this is a sample store that i created. that would actually be perfect for the product i just showed you. the store is called flora flow. as you can see, it's pretty much focused entirely on home and garden based products. it has a nice branded design, it has a good logo, it's easy to browse and shop around and overall, it feels like a trustworthy site. i recently made a video on exactly how i built this store, so after you watch this one, feel free to check that out. the one tip i will give in this video is to model your store off of what's already working. this is not some brand new design i came up with. i just put my own little twist on what was already working. you don't have to reinvent the wheel. you just have to take what's working and add a little bit of your own sauce to it. so i would advise taking your product, building a store like this and filling it up with products that are similar to the one you're selling. here's another really good example of a hybrid store. this one is called arctik shirt and, as you can see, they sell a bunch of home decor products as well. they have the moon lamp, this kitchen set, they have bedding. they have all types of products, but the store is really nice, branded and feels extremely trustworthy. in my opinion, this is the best approach for beginners, so give it a try. next up, you need to get some traffic and customers to your website. personally, my favorite method for starting with a new store is facebook ads. it does cost a little bit of money to run ads on facebook, so i recommend that you have at least a couple hundred dollars.

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.

I Tried Dropshipping With $0 For 30 days

have you ever wondered if it's possible to become a millionaire with Drop Shipping, for a million dollars, millions of dollars from Drop Shipping? well, I know for a fact it's possible, because I went from a high school dropout to making over 1.5 million dollars in a year. by the time I was age 21.. and to show you that it's still possible today, I created a brand new Drop Shipping Store using zero dollars and I'm sharing the entire process transparently now. we just officially ended our first full month in business and we had a lot of ups and we had a lot of downs and, honestly, this reminded me of how hard it is to get your first business off the ground. so while a lot of people are going to be watching this video and impressed with the sales that I've gotten, just realize that this isn't an overnight success. this has been the last five years of me dedicating myself to this craft and I don't want this video to come across showing off. I know there's a lot of gurus out there who try to highlight how easy Drop Shipping is, and we both know these guys are not Drop Shipping, so just know that I'm gonna always keep 100 with you guys. now, any good Drop Shipping Store starts with a good product. I don't care how good your website is or how good your ads are, so I couldn't just find any product. to be successful in this challenge, I needed to find a product that matched the criteria of a winning product. usually when I am picking a product to sell, there's a few things that I look at. obviously, profit margin- if we don't have a good profit margin, then there's no way we're gonna ever be successful. and another piece of criteria that I think is important is that the product actually makes people's lives easier. so to locate this problem-solving product, I ended up going on tiktok and looked up hashtag. tiktok made me buy it and, honestly, I had to browse sometime to find something decent. but I knew we had found a winner when I found a tik tok post with literally hundreds of people asking where they could find the product and the video only had about a thousand likes at this point. now, honestly, this was kind of suspicious- a post with only about a thousand likes to have this many comments of people wanting to know where to buy the product- and I thought this was a great opportunity. hundreds of people were looking to buy this product and they didn't have someone to fulfill that demand. so I built a website on Shopify and I started my journey trying to get this brand sales using zero dollars Capital. now, I only really had one opportunity to become successful with this store, since our budget was zero dollars in order for us to create a profitable business. it meant attracting customers to our website without spending any money. now, this meant that the standard avenues for advertising, like Facebook ads, were completely out of the question, but what was possible was for us to create tiktok and Instagram real content completely organically and try to get the post viral so customers can see our product. so for the last 30 days, I spent a ton of time creating content and it actually went pretty well. so I want to go over the results and how much money we're able to make. so this challenge started on August 16th. this was our first day in business and I ended up posting up only one single tik tok on this day and, yes, I did not get any sales. this was definitely a stressful day for me. I was creating a brand new business from scratch again and, honestly, day two felt pretty similar. we made zero dollars in sales and I spent hours of our time and we weren't able to even manage to get one single sale, so I was feeling pretty disappointed around this time. but day three, things started to pick up. day three, on August 18th, I managed to get our very first sale, and this was when I realized that we were on to something. so I got super stoked and excited about creating this brand. so I ended up doubling down. on the 19th, I created two pieces of content, but unfortunately we were only able to get one sale for 56 dollars. and then the day after that, on the 20th, we were only able to get one sale again, even though I was posting more content now. up into this point, we had gotten zero sales from tiktok. our tiktoks were doing terrible, but our Instagram reels were actually getting to push out, so this was a good sign. we're getting a few thousand views on our Instagram reels, but for some reason we weren't able to crack into tiktok yet. now, day six was a super exciting day. we managed to get three sails for a total of 270 dollars, and this made me feel like we could really take this brand to whatever height we wanted to grow it to, and this brought me down a path of switching our content up. I started to focus on More Story based content, and this started to work really well. we were able to wrap the first week up at a total of 785.93, which personally I thought was a really good start to this challenge. I was feeling super excited and optimistik that this store could grow to a store that does six figures a month. so I really wanted to double down to get the best results we could in this Challenge, and that's also when I set a goal of trying to to make one thousand dollars in a single day throughout this Challenge, and this brought us into week two. on day one of week two, we ended up doing 159 dollars, and day two ended up being another Super solid day. we did 299 dollars in sales this day, which got me feeling really good. we were able to hit some consistent results at this point, and at this point we had generated over one thousand dollars in sales. and the best part about this is, since we weren't spending money on ads, almost 75 percent of the revenue was profit. day three of week two, we had a pretty similar day, and then, day four of week two, I started ramping up the content. I realized that our posts were doing well, but maybe we needed more volume. so on day four of week two, we managed to hit our best day yet at 364 dollars, which was a really good sign. we're almost 40 percent to our 1K a day goal. and then, day five, we managed to smash that record at 399 overall. during week two, we managed to get over two thousand dollars in sales, which meant for this two-week period we had done over two thousand and seven hundred dollars, and I already created a video covering up to this point. if all this sounds familiar. but what I'm about to get into is week three and week four, which ended up being a total twist, and I think it's gonna be something really exciting for everyone. going into week three, I was definitely nervous because we hadn't hit the goal that we set out for this challenge yet and while we were getting results, I wanted to show people that this business is really possible and that we can hit some big numbers. so I was seriously stressed to continue to create the best content that I could, and it ended up being a pretty stressful week. but here's how it ended up. going as far as sales, on day three of week one- such a disappointing day- we managed to get zero sales, but honestly, it felt like it was about time we stopped getting great holds. it seemed like everything was going pretty easy in the beginning of this challenge, so the fact that we weren't facing turbulence just meant that we weren't pushing hard enough. so the fact that I didn't get any sales today, I kind of just dismissed it and decided I'm just gonna keep pushing on. now, on day two of week three, we actually did end up getting a sale, but unfortunately we also did have a refund. so that's why we only made 14.99 on this day, which is just pretty natural. sometimes customers will end up ordering something and they'll want their money back, so we just gave them their money back. we're not going to worry about that and we're just gonna hold. day three is more successful. unfortunately, it wasn't and we managed to do zero dollars in sales yet again. so for this three day period, we had literally only made about 14.99 and I was feeling really bummed out at this point. I thought that maybe the store was over, maybe the product wasn't workin.

well, i've actually ran multiple six and seven figure online businesses over the span of three plus years, and i pretty much post about my results every single day on tiktok and youtube. this also reminds me. as usual, i'm doing another giveaway, and in this giveaway, i'm gonna be giving away a free consulting call with me, one on one, and all you have to do to enter is do the exact same thing i just told you to, which is leave a like, hit the subscribe button and then leave a comment down below. now there's a massive amount of detailed information in this video, so make sure that you're taking notes and following along, or you have a laptop open or another screen open side by side, and follow the exact steps that i'm doing now. with all that being said, let's jump right into the video. all right, the first thing that you want to be doing is you're going to go on shopifycom, obviously, so i like to use shopify. there's a bunch of different platforms out there, but this is the one i have the most uh experience with. all right, so you're going to want to take on that free trial. so it's 14 days free trial. you're gonna put in your email address here. i recommend putting in a business email address and keeping everything separate. uh, so we need a store name. so we're gonna center this store around the beauty and cosmetiks niche. it's something that i'm familiar with. the store name doesn't really matter at the moment, just because you're going to be adding a domain and when you link the domain, that's what's going to show up on the shopify account and also that's what's going to show up when people are going onto your website and they see the url. so for the store name here, let's put beauty and cosmetiks one, two, three. for the country or region, obviously, put whatever location that you're in on the go with the united states here. then you're gonna want to continue with email. this is where you're gonna link your email address and then also type in your password, so you're just setting up your account here. all right, so easy as that. now you're in the shopify dashboard. your account is already set up and ready to go. we're gonna be covering every single thing pretty much on the left side here, starting from completely from scratch. the first thing that we're going to want to do is going to go into the settings here and let's just run through all of these right? so the store details. you just have the basic information, the store name, the address. you can put in your personal address here. but if you are running a business in multiple stores, i totally recommend you getting a virtual mailing address. it's like 10- 12 bucks a month and you can send all your business information and mail there. it's also not going to put your address out there where you actually live, so i highly recommend getting one of those. then you have the contact information. this is where you're going to enter your phone number, the email address and then the customers: uh, see this email. if you email them this one right here. you definitely want to have your business email address because you don't want customers seeing your personal. one store currency: i totally recommend using us dollars as the main form of currency, especially if you're selling mainly in the united states. editing the order id format: this is not needed, so you can just leave it as a prefix of the pound sign here. next section is going into your plan. shopify has a bunch of different plans, so if we click on this, you're gonna see the basic shopify. right now. that is 14.44 a month. you really don't need to go into the shopify or advanced shopify. that's only really helpful if you're looking to get more into the analytiks side of shopify with, like their finance reporting and all that stuff. but for now, just choose the basic plan. that's all you really need at the moment. now we'll go back into the settings, user and permissions. this is really just if you want to add staff account to your store. so if you have someone that's a partner like helping you work on the store, or if you need some developer to go into the store, you basically can make it so they can access the store and the developer theme, but they can't access any of the payments and stuff like that on the payments page. this is super important. you're going to want to activate the shopify payments. this is like the main processing method on most shopify stores and to do this all you have to do is enter your business details, your address. so for this portion, i would recommend using that virtual mailing address. it's going to keep it so much cleaner and it's going to give you more privacy from your personal home address as well. the other main payment method that i would recommend is paypal. it's very common. a lot of people check out with paypal just because all the information is already populated for them and they have the paypal like secure checkout and all that stuff, just in case something goes wrong with the order. they feel a little bit safer. you can add amazon pay if you want, or google pay, apple pay, all that stuff, but that typically comes with shopify payments. so you're not going to really need any other pm methods unless for some reason, you're selling a product that shopify does not agree with or support in their processing system. then you would have to add a third-party payment processor which costs a lot more than the shopify one for the checkout. let's go over some of these settings that i recommend changing. for the customer accounts i would use- do not use- accounts. um, i don't think that you need accounts unless you have, like, a subscription-based service, but if you're just selling typical econ products, you don't need to have people add accounts. it's just going to create another layer of friction and lowering your conversion rate overall. now for the customer contact method: i would recommend switching this to email rather than phone number or email, because if people just check out their phone number, they're not going to put in their email and they're not going to get a bunch of emails collected for email marketing. i'll leave this checked on here for show a link to download the shop app. this is going to help people track their orders and their shipments easier. it's going to leave you with a lot less customer service headaches. under the customer information, i would make sure that you require first and last name. this is super important because when you're placing orders- whether it's from aliexpress, spock at zen drop, wherever it may be- you need to have them have their first and last name, otherwise they won't send the package and you're not gonna be able to complete that order. so make sure that's checked off. company name: do not include. there's no point.

How to Start Dropshipping From Scratch

this is probably gonna be the most valuable in-depth drop shipping video that i've ever posted on this channel. we're gonna go through step by step as to how you can start a drop shipping business today. i'm really excited about this video at this point. i've made quite a variety of different drop shipping videos in which i've tried new marketing methods, started new stores and challenges, but i don't think i've ever actually sat down and clearly explained how someone can start their own dropshipping business from scratch. i've made videos where i started them up and gone through the whole process, but in this video i'm gonna explain step by step how you can do the same, even throw in some case studies. i helped a friend set up the kind of business we're toking about here just last week and they were able to get sales when they launched. so everything in this video, everything i'm toking about, is up to date and should work very similarly for the foreseeable future. let's not waste any more time and jump straight into what aliexpress, shopify dropshipping is and clear up any misconceptions people may have. what is drop shipping? aliexpress, shopify dropshipping is a business in which you find a product on a chinese website called aliexpress. there's other websites you can turn to, but aliexpress is the biggest and most popular one. for example, you find this face cleaning, a pimple removing vacuum- a really old, winning product- but, just as an example, it costs 12.39 on aliexpress. once you found your product, you would then head over to shopify, which is a platform that allows you to create an ecommerce website and accept payments and orders. you create a website on shopify in which you sell this face vacuum for a higher price- let's say you sell it for 34.99. now we'll get into more details later, but you would then advertise your website on social media and when someone orders this product from your website, they gave you the 34.99 as well as their shipping information. you take that and head over to aliexpress, where you proceed to order this product directly to your customers address for 12.39 and, just like that, your customer paid you 34.99. so after paying for the product, you're left with 22.60 profit for basically being the middleman then marketing the product. once you found out that this product is actually selling, you would start paying more money for ads and scale this operation up. i've had multiple products that i was able to scale into the hundreds of thousands and even into the seven figure range. so don't worry, you're not doing all this for 20. it's a scalable business. so that's just the overall summary. this is an easy concept that's a lot more difficult than practike, so before you go out there, you're gonna need to know a few more things to do this successfully. there's four pillars to successful drop spring business, so we'll break this down into four sections. pillar one is your product. pillar two is your website. three, you have your advertisement and for your marketing. so let's start with the first pillar, your product. pillar one: product- arguably one of the most important parts. if your product sucks and no one would ever impulsively buy it from an online store, you won't get very far with drop shipping. you're usually selling stuff on social media, so you have to have a product with some sort of wow factor that people could see think, hey, that's really cool, and buy it right there on the spot. it also helps to start with products that solve some sort of problem. that poor vacuum helped clean people's faces and remove blackheads. when people first started dropshipping it, no one had really seen it before, so it had a wow factor to it. people would see it on their instagram feed, they'd stop scrolling and would want to check it out this pet hair roller. pet owners would see this ad where remove pet hair in one swipe, boom, a little wow factor and it solved the real problem. now your product doesn't absolutely have to solve a problem, but my best products and ones that have been the easiest to sell usually would solve a problem for people- kind of help with an insecurity or make their life easier. you can sell products that don't solve a clear problem if the product is very novel and has a huge wow factor or if it's something people have a passion for. these ceiling stress balls, as an example: they just seem kind of fun and unlike anything people have really seen before. this penguin board game: most people have never seen it before, so when they see it pop up they might be a little intrigued because it's so novel. this dog toothbrush solves a problem and people are passionate about their pets so they're willing to drop money on them. this baby cushion chair helps newborn babies sit down and play with their toys without falling over and hurting themselves. parents are usually, hopefully, pretty passionate about babies and wouldn't want them falling boom. so- and i'm not saying you should sell any of these products right now, but all these products at one point or another, have been hot selling products, and it should give you a better idea of what really works. if you haven't had any success with drop shipping and are trying it for the first time, i would recommend not reinventing the wheel on finding a brand new, untapped, revolutionary product. instead, i would hop on a product that is currently selling. well, you can search for ads on facebook and instagram, find current ones that are performing well and see the product they're selling and pay attention to the products you get ads for. there's websites that compile lists of potential winning products. you can look at aliexpress products with a lot of orders and cross-reference to see if any drop shipping stores are selling and, just in general, do a lot of research, and i'm going to leave this section off by saying you want to find a product that either you yourself, the person who just smashed the like button, can see yourself being interested in, or at least know someone in your life who you can see buying the product. if you can't think of anyone and can't imagine anyone in your life that would want to buy it, well, congratulations, you played yourself. pillar 2 website, not going to spend too long in this part. you basically have to create a store that doesn't look like a five-year-old just scribbled crayons all over their screen. shopify's templates that you can use to create a nice, simple, clean, easy to use website. you don't need anything too fancy, just make sure it looks like a legitimate online store. shopify also makes it very easy to buy a domain through them. so think of something clean and simple, and you usually want to go for the dot-com ones, as people trust those domains the most. now, that's the design aspect of it, but you also have to choose between making a general store that sells everything, a niche stores that sells products in a partikular niche, or a single product store that only focuses on one single product right off the bat. i'm not a fan of general stores. i think the conversion rate is a little low on them. it's tough to sell car products and beauty products on the same website. i just personally wouldn't recommend it. single product stores have the highest conversion rates. they feel very branded. you can make it look very sleek, but it's hard to test products on them, since you have to create a brand new website every time you want to test a new product, which is very time consuming, can be discouraging, and those new domain costs can add up. now, niche stores are what i would probably recommend to a beginner, since you can make them feel like a brand and have a really nice fitting design throughout the entire store, while being able to test new products in the niche very quickly. if you have a baby store, you can name it munchkin bloom- something broad but fitting to the niche, and then you won't have to create a new website for every product, but instead just add new products into the store that you want to test and just build up the product pages for them. and then, if you have a

little workspace for yourself and go ahead and smash that like button so i can help impact more people with this real no guide to getting started with drop shipping in 2022.. and just before we jump into the value of this video, i do want to announce the weekly giveaway. remember. all you have to do is go ahead and smash that like button, comment something insightful down below and make sure you subscribe to the channel. the winner will be announced for a custom built drop shipping store built by me and my team, and outright ecom in my next week's video. let's get straight into this, all 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.
