| 00:00:00 | 00:00:03 | all right so let's tok about it drop |
| 00:00:02 | 00:00:05 | shipping has made me |
| 00:00:03 | 00:00:07 | a lot of money but it does come with |
| 00:00:05 | 00:00:08 | some hassles that are not so great to |
| 00:00:07 | 00:00:10 | deal with |
| 00:00:08 | 00:00:12 | and i mean don't get me wrong this is a |
| 00:00:10 | 00:00:13 | great way to be able to start making |
| 00:00:12 | 00:00:15 | some money online |
| 00:00:13 | 00:00:17 | and it has completely changed my life in |
| 00:00:15 | 00:00:18 | ways that i have never even imagined |
| 00:00:17 | 00:00:20 | i mean from coming from hanging around |
| 00:00:18 | 00:00:21 | the wrong people to getting arrested |
| 00:00:20 | 00:00:23 | multiple times |
| 00:00:21 | 00:00:25 | to now being able to run multiple six |
| 00:00:23 | 00:00:27 | and seven figure businesses |
| 00:00:25 | 00:00:29 | every single month dropshipping has |
| 00:00:27 | 00:00:31 | completely turned my life around |
| 00:00:29 | 00:00:32 | i love it i love what it has done for me |
| 00:00:31 | 00:00:34 | and |
| 00:00:32 | 00:00:36 | many of my students but the business |
| 00:00:34 | 00:00:37 | model is just not sustainable for the |
| 00:00:36 | 00:00:38 | long term |
| 00:00:37 | 00:00:40 | and by approaching this business with a |
| 00:00:38 | 00:00:42 | different type of game plan and has |
| 00:00:40 | 00:00:43 | allowed me to generate six and seven |
| 00:00:42 | 00:00:45 | figure stories |
| 00:00:43 | 00:00:47 | and be able to continue to grow with |

| 00:00:47 | 00:00:51 | e-commerce brands generating around 150 |

| 00:02:50 | 00:02:53 | week's video somewhere inside of this |
| 00:02:51 | 00:02:54 | video so make sure you stay tuned the |
| 00:02:53 | 00:02:55 | entire way |
| 00:02:54 | 00:02:56 | to see if you're that lucky winner |
| 00:02:55 | 00:02:58 | alright so let's go ahead and get right |
| 00:02:56 | 00:03:00 | into it so i want to go ahead and start |
| 00:02:58 | 00:03:02 | off by breaking down the three biggest |
| 00:03:00 | 00:03:03 | problems with drop shipping the first |
| 00:03:02 | 00:03:04 | problem is one of the biggest reasons |
| 00:03:03 | 00:03:06 | and one of the biggest issues that |
| 00:03:04 | 00:03:08 | people deal with with drop shipping |
| 00:03:06 | 00:03:09 | and ultimately this is why their stores |
| 00:03:08 | 00:03:11 | are not succeeding on the long term |
| 00:03:09 | 00:03:13 | most dropshipping stores provide a |
| 00:03:11 | 00:03:14 | terrible customer experience |
| 00:03:13 | 00:03:15 | ultimately this is going to have a |
| 00:03:14 | 00:03:17 | negative effect on your facebook |
| 00:03:15 | 00:03:18 | feedback score and you're going to get |
| 00:03:17 | 00:03:20 | shut down |
| 00:03:18 | 00:03:22 | and trust me i know this on the first |
| 00:03:20 | 00:03:23 | hand because i was that person |
| 00:03:22 | 00:03:25 | whenever i first started drop shipping i |
| 00:03:23 | 00:03:27 | didn't know the capacity of the emails i |
| 00:03:25 | 00:03:28 | was going to receive from customers |
| 00:03:27 | 00:03:30 | they were always emailed me on where |
| 00:03:28 | 00:03:32 | their product was |
| 00:03:30 | 00:03:34 | how long the shipping times were and |
| 00:03:32 | 00:03:36 | trust me i tried to keep |
| 00:03:34 | 00:03:37 | up but it put me in a terrible mindset |
| 00:03:36 | 00:03:39 | of being like oh well you know the |
| 00:03:37 | 00:03:40 | product is going to come they just need |
| 00:03:39 | 00:03:42 | to be able to wait on it |
| 00:03:40 | 00:03:43 | and that mistake alone got me shut down |
| 00:03:42 | 00:03:44 | so quickly |
| 00:03:43 | 00:03:46 | with sourcing your products from |
| 00:03:44 | 00:03:48 | aliexpress you have little to no quality |
| 00:03:46 | 00:03:50 | control over what you're selling |
| 00:03:48 | 00:03:52 | you have zero control over the shipping |
| 00:03:50 | 00:03:53 | times which ultimately could have your |
| 00:03:52 | 00:03:55 | customer waiting for weeks and the |
| 00:03:53 | 00:03:57 | product might not even be that good |
| 00:03:55 | 00:03:58 | so although this is something that is |
| 00:03:57 | 00:04:00 | very relevant to why most drop shipping |
| 00:03:58 | 00:04:01 | stores are not making money for the long |
| 00:04:00 | 00:04:03 | run |
| 00:04:01 | 00:04:04 | it is important to know that there are |
| 00:04:03 | 00:04:06 | good suppliers out there |
| 00:04:04 | 00:04:08 | it's just all about knowing how to |
| 00:04:06 | 00:04:09 | communicate to them how to source them |
| 00:04:08 | 00:04:11 | out and know who the best fit is for you |
| 00:04:09 | 00:04:12 | and the knowing and the confidence that |
| 00:04:11 | 00:04:14 | you're going to be able to receive what |
| 00:04:12 | 00:04:15 | you need from them my private supplier |
| 00:04:14 | 00:04:17 | that i provide |
| 00:04:15 | 00:04:19 | all the students in my one-on-one |
| 00:04:17 | 00:04:20 | mentorship or in my blueprint course |
| 00:04:19 | 00:04:22 | is now giving myself and my students |
| 00:04:20 | 00:04:24 | 7-10 day shipping |
| 00:04:22 | 00:04:26 | and ultimately is a completely validated |
| 00:04:24 | 00:04:28 | supplier and i teach you guys all how to |
| 00:04:26 | 00:04:30 | be able to do the exact same thing |
| 00:04:28 | 00:04:32 | so the biggest problem is the lack of |
| 00:04:30 | 00:04:33 | control so with this issue if you're not |
| 00:04:32 | 00:04:36 | able to solve this |
| 00:04:33 | 00:04:38 | by finding a strong validated supplier |
| 00:04:36 | 00:04:38 | ultimately you're going to continue to |
| 00:04:38 | 00:04:40 | have |
| 00:04:38 | 00:04:41 | a terrible customer experience so let me |
| 00:04:40 | 00:04:43 | go ahead and show you some of the |
| 00:04:41 | 00:04:44 | biggest suppliers on aliexpress and what |
| 00:04:43 | 00:04:46 | i mean by this |
| 00:04:44 | 00:04:48 | so for example this supplier just for |
| 00:04:46 | 00:04:50 | this product alone has sold over 11 000 |
| 00:04:48 | 00:04:52 | orders as you can see this is just a |
| 00:04:50 | 00:04:54 | normal dog product a dog collar that has |
| 00:04:52 | 00:04:55 | just multiple different variants |
| 00:04:54 | 00:04:58 | and as we scroll down you can see it |
| 00:04:55 | 00:04:59 | says free shipping well free shipping is |
| 00:04:58 | 00:05:00 | great and all but look at the times that |
| 00:04:59 | 00:05:02 | it takes to deliver |
| 00:05:00 | 00:05:04 | it's saying an estimated delivery of 30 |
| 00:05:02 | 00:05:06 | to 50 days |
| 00:05:04 | 00:05:08 | and even whenever you click inside the |
| 00:05:06 | 00:05:09 | best shipping option that you can get is |
| 00:05:08 | 00:05:11 | 20 to 40 days |
| 00:05:09 | 00:05:12 | that is not going to work these are the |
| 00:05:11 | 00:05:14 | exact issues that you're going to be |
| 00:05:12 | 00:05:15 | dealing with if you do not know how to |
| 00:05:14 | 00:05:16 | source the right supplier from |
| 00:05:15 | 00:05:18 | aliexpress |
| 00:05:16 | 00:05:20 | and trust me you don't even have to |
| 00:05:18 | 00:05:21 | guess just look at the reviews |
| 00:05:20 | 00:05:24 | so this one says the goods did not |
| 00:05:21 | 00:05:26 | receive this product took two months |
| 00:05:24 | 00:05:27 | to be able to deliver delivery is so |
| 00:05:26 | 00:05:29 | long |
| 00:05:27 | 00:05:31 | the goods did not come to me these are |
| 00:05:29 | 00:05:32 | all issues that you cannot be having if |
| 00:05:31 | 00:05:34 | you want longevity |
| 00:05:32 | 00:05:35 | if this supplier just fixed these little |
| 00:05:34 | 00:05:36 | issues that i'm going to be toking |
| 00:05:35 | 00:05:38 | about later in this video |
| 00:05:36 | 00:05:40 | brands can be thriving off this product |
| 00:05:38 | 00:05:42 | today but i'm letting you know |
| 00:05:40 | 00:05:44 | right now the terrible customer service |
| 00:05:42 | 00:05:45 | and the delivery is going to kill this |
| 00:05:44 | 00:05:46 | opportunity |
| 00:05:45 | 00:05:48 | now let's go ahead and tok about the |
| 00:05:46 | 00:05:49 | second main reason that drop shipping |
| 00:05:48 | 00:05:51 | stores don't last |
| 00:05:49 | 00:05:53 | it is so easy for somebody just to come |
| 00:05:51 | 00:05:55 | in and steal your winning product |
| 00:05:53 | 00:05:56 | and scale you out of the marketplace |
| 00:05:55 | 00:05:57 | i've seen this happen time and time |
| 00:05:56 | 00:05:59 | again |
| 00:05:57 | 00:06:00 | and trust me i've done this to so many |
| 00:05:59 | 00:06:02 | drop shipping stores from the method |
| 00:06:00 | 00:06:04 | that i'm going to teach you guys about |
| 00:06:02 | 00:06:05 | i love competition do not get me wrong |
| 00:06:04 | 00:06:07 | and you should love it too |
| 00:06:05 | 00:06:08 | but you need to be able to build a |
| 00:06:07 | 00:06:10 | business that makes it hard for people |
| 00:06:08 | 00:06:12 | to come in and just compete with you |
| 00:06:10 | 00:06:13 | it should not just be as easy as them |
| 00:06:12 | 00:06:15 | just taking your product and being able |
| 00:06:13 | 00:06:17 | to run with it in a couple of hours |
| 00:06:15 | 00:06:19 | the last problem that i see most people |
| 00:06:17 | 00:06:19 | dealing with and even myself has dealt |
| 00:06:19 | 00:06:21 | with |
| 00:06:19 | 00:06:23 | many times is that let's say you find |
| 00:06:21 | 00:06:25 | your winning product and you finally are |
| 00:06:23 | 00:06:27 | scaling up to the moon |
| 00:06:25 | 00:06:28 | there's always going to be that problem |
| 00:06:27 | 00:06:30 | of everyone i mean literally |
| 00:06:28 | 00:06:32 | everybody wanting to try to shut you |
| 00:06:30 | 00:06:34 | down paypal and shopify payments do not |
| 00:06:32 | 00:06:36 | like whenever you scale at a high level |
| 00:06:34 | 00:06:38 | and then whenever you get shut down well |
| 00:06:36 | 00:06:39 | guess what happens the chargebacks go |
| 00:06:38 | 00:06:40 | through the roof |
| 00:06:39 | 00:06:42 | they're sitting there and waiting around |
| 00:06:40 | 00:06:44 | asking where their product even is |
| 00:06:42 | 00:06:46 | which ultimately hurts your reputation |
| 00:06:44 | 00:06:47 | with the bank and then it makes it look |
| 00:06:46 | 00:06:48 | like you are not in an established |
| 00:06:47 | 00:06:49 | business |
| 00:06:48 | 00:06:51 | and ultimately they're either gonna put |
| 00:06:49 | 00:06:53 | a hold on your money or start taking a |
| 00:06:51 | 00:06:53 | percentage of all the income that's |
| 00:06:53 | 00:06:55 | coming in |
| 00:06:53 | 00:06:57 | and this is something that i see happen |
| 00:06:55 | 00:06:58 | all of the time |
| 00:06:57 | 00:07:00 | now i want to be clear that the drop |
| 00:06:58 | 00:07:01 | shipping model is great to be able to |
| 00:07:00 | 00:07:04 | get into to start making money |
| 00:07:01 | 00:07:05 | quickly online but that model should not |
| 00:07:04 | 00:07:07 | be what you are expecting to use to be |
| 00:07:05 | 00:07:09 | able to make money in the long run |
| 00:07:07 | 00:07:10 | and for those three reasons that i just |
| 00:07:09 | 00:07:12 | named off i'm out |
| 00:07:10 | 00:07:14 | but i'm not out completely let's tok |
| 00:07:12 | 00:07:16 | about how you can use your dropshipping |
| 00:07:14 | 00:07:16 | storage to turn it into a long-term |
| 00:07:16 | 00:07:18 | business |
| 00:07:16 | 00:07:20 | because trust me there is a way but it |
| 00:07:18 | 00:07:21 | just comes down to knowing what you need |
| 00:07:20 | 00:07:23 | to be able to do |
| 00:07:21 | 00:07:24 | how to be able to do it and making sure |
| 00:07:23 | 00:07:25 | that you're using it for the right |
| 00:07:24 | 00:07:27 | reasons |
| 00:07:25 | 00:07:29 | drop shipping is extremely good for one |
| 00:07:27 | 00:07:30 | thing and that is finding a winning |
| 00:07:29 | 00:07:31 | product |
| 00:07:30 | 00:07:33 | it's great to be able to use this |
| 00:07:31 | 00:07:34 | business model to be able to test out |
| 00:07:33 | 00:07:36 | all different type of products because |
| 00:07:34 | 00:07:38 | you don't have to hold any inventory |
| 00:07:36 | 00:07:40 | but once you find one that is selling |
| 00:07:38 | 00:07:42 | and selling well it is time to brand it |
| 00:07:40 | 00:07:44 | so let me explain instead of trying to |
| 00:07:42 | 00:07:45 | make as much money as you possibly can |
| 00:07:44 | 00:07:47 | with drop shipping my goal is to be able |
| 00:07:45 | 00:07:49 | to turn the business long term |
| 00:07:47 | 00:07:51 | and turn it into a brand with real value |
| 00:07:49 | 00:07:53 | as quick as possible |
| 00:07:51 | 00:07:55 | i use drop shipping as the foundation |
| 00:07:53 | 00:07:56 | and the startup to grow into something |
| 00:07:55 | 00:07:58 | that has value and can be able to bring |
| 00:07:56 | 00:07:59 | me money consistently |
| 00:07:58 | 00:08:01 | once i have a product that i'm selling |
| 00:07:59 | 00:08:03 | on a day-to-day basis and it's making me |
| 00:08:01 | 00:08:05 | a lot of money with drop shipping and i |
| 00:08:03 | 00:08:06 | see that there is a potential to grow |
| 00:08:05 | 00:08:07 | with it |
| 00:08:06 | 00:08:09 | i literally build a brand around it |
| 00:08:07 | 00:08:11 | immediately and if you need help with |
| 00:08:09 | 00:08:12 | the testing process of how to find your |

| 00:08:33 | 00:08:36 | these spots are filled |
| 00:08:35 | 00:08:38 | from making this change i immediately |
| 00:08:36 | 00:08:41 | saw a higher conversion rate |
| 00:08:38 | 00:08:43 | much cheaper ad costs higher average |
| 00:08:41 | 00:08:45 | order value and the best of the best |
| 00:08:43 | 00:08:47 | free organic traffic this simple change |
| 00:08:45 | 00:08:49 | took my business to the next level |
| 00:08:47 | 00:08:52 | so look at this drop shipping store that |
| 00:08:49 | 00:08:55 | i had right here it made around 240 |
| 00:08:52 | 00:08:58 | 000 from december 28 to january 14th |
| 00:08:55 | 00:09:00 | the conversion rate was around 2.59 |
| 00:08:58 | 00:09:02 | and ultimately i knew that this product |
| 00:09:00 | 00:09:03 | had a lot of great potential |
| 00:09:02 | 00:09:05 | so what was the first thing that i did |
| 00:09:03 | 00:09:07 | right after that was |
| 00:09:05 | 00:09:09 | branded so whenever i branded this i |
| 00:09:07 | 00:09:11 | made an entire new store |
| 00:09:09 | 00:09:13 | but i used the exact same product i used |
| 00:09:11 | 00:09:14 | the exact same pixel |
| 00:09:13 | 00:09:16 | and i just made sure that i was buying |
| 00:09:14 | 00:09:18 | inventory in the united states |
| 00:09:16 | 00:09:20 | and by the way this was all by |
| 00:09:18 | 00:09:21 | reinvesting my profits from the drop |
| 00:09:20 | 00:09:23 | shipping store that i just had |
| 00:09:21 | 00:09:24 | so right after this store let's check |
| 00:09:23 | 00:09:26 | out what the brand did |
| 00:09:24 | 00:09:27 | so the following month the brand made |
| 00:09:26 | 00:09:31 | over 300 |
| 00:09:27 | 00:09:33 | 000 300 000 in about a month and a half |
| 00:09:31 | 00:09:35 | and the conversion rate almost doubled |
| 00:09:33 | 00:09:36 | as you can see on this store the |
| 00:09:35 | 00:09:37 | conversion rate was around two point |
| 00:09:36 | 00:09:39 | five nine percent |
| 00:09:37 | 00:09:41 | and then after i branded it it jumped |
| 00:09:39 | 00:09:42 | all the way up to four point two one |
| 00:09:41 | 00:09:43 | percent |
| 00:09:42 | 00:09:45 | and it's still making me really good |
| 00:09:43 | 00:09:46 | money today and this is almost six |
| 00:09:45 | 00:09:48 | months later |
| 00:09:46 | 00:09:49 | and this is what i do now with multiple |
| 00:09:48 | 00:09:51 | e-commerce brands |
| 00:09:49 | 00:09:52 | i just start off with a general |
| 00:09:51 | 00:09:54 | dropshipping store and i test out all |
| 00:09:52 | 00:09:55 | different types of products |
| 00:09:54 | 00:09:57 | and after the product is already |
| 00:09:55 | 00:09:59 | validated on the general store i just |
| 00:09:57 | 00:10:00 | create a high converting ecommerce brand |
| 00:09:59 | 00:10:02 | around it |
| 00:10:00 | 00:10:03 | and i just go through the moon so now |
| 00:10:02 | 00:10:04 | that you see the positive effects of |
| 00:10:03 | 00:10:06 | being able to transition your |
| 00:10:04 | 00:10:06 | dropshipping stores into ecommerce |
| 00:10:06 | 00:10:08 | brands |
| 00:10:06 | 00:10:10 | i want to be able to share with you the |
| 00:10:08 | 00:10:11 | three simple steps that you can be able |
| 00:10:10 | 00:10:13 | to do to be able to start turning your |
| 00:10:11 | 00:10:14 | drop shipping store into an e-commerce |
| 00:10:13 | 00:10:15 | brand |
| 00:10:14 | 00:10:17 | and this is after you've already |
| 00:10:15 | 00:10:18 | validated the product and know that this |
| 00:10:17 | 00:10:19 | is a winning product |
| 00:10:18 | 00:10:21 | in the first place but before we get |
| 00:10:19 | 00:10:22 | into that if you have any questions |
| 00:10:21 | 00:10:24 | about this video at all |
| 00:10:22 | 00:10:26 | i'm here to help out in any way possible |
| 00:10:24 | 00:10:28 | you can go to my instagram ac underscore |
| 00:10:26 | 00:10:30 | hampton and dm me the word youtube |
| 00:10:28 | 00:10:31 | as it's not about how much money you can |
| 00:10:30 | 00:10:32 | make in this world but how much |
| 00:10:31 | 00:10:34 | knowledge you can be able to teach |
| 00:10:32 | 00:10:35 | others to be able to change their lives |
| 00:10:34 | 00:10:38 | so let's go ahead and get into step |
| 00:10:35 | 00:10:38 | number one step number one is always |
| 00:10:38 | 00:10:40 | test |
| 00:10:38 | 00:10:41 | out with a general store this is going |
| 00:10:40 | 00:10:43 | to put you in a position to allow |
| 00:10:41 | 00:10:44 | whatever is working in the market to |
| 00:10:43 | 00:10:46 | continue to work for you |
| 00:10:44 | 00:10:48 | and it's going to save you so much time |
| 00:10:46 | 00:10:49 | so whenever you're testing multiple |
| 00:10:48 | 00:10:51 | products |
| 00:10:49 | 00:10:52 | you don't have to redo an entire store |
| 00:10:51 | 00:10:54 | every single time |
| 00:10:52 | 00:10:56 | you just simply upload that product to |
| 00:10:54 | 00:10:57 | your general store and get to testing |
| 00:10:56 | 00:10:59 | and then after finding that winning |
| 00:10:57 | 00:11:01 | product i then go into two different |
| 00:10:59 | 00:11:02 | directions with the type of online brand |
| 00:11:01 | 00:11:03 | i'm trying to make |
| 00:11:02 | 00:11:05 | so the first type of store that you can |
| 00:11:03 | 00:11:07 | make is a niche type of store |
| 00:11:05 | 00:11:08 | this is all going to be around one |
| 00:11:07 | 00:11:10 | certain type of niche and you're just |
| 00:11:08 | 00:11:11 | adding products that are within that |
| 00:11:10 | 00:11:13 | niche that you're currently selling in |
| 00:11:11 | 00:11:15 | this is cushion lab where they sell all |
| 00:11:13 | 00:11:16 | different types of cushions |
| 00:11:15 | 00:11:19 | and instead of just selling a simple |
| 00:11:16 | 00:11:20 | pillow for your bag they're selling it |
| 00:11:19 | 00:11:22 | all so you can see they have a back |
| 00:11:20 | 00:11:23 | relief lumber pillow |
| 00:11:22 | 00:11:26 | they have a seat cushion they have a |
| 00:11:23 | 00:11:26 | cervical pillow they have blankets i |
| 00:11:26 | 00:11:28 | mean they have |
| 00:11:26 | 00:11:30 | everything that they need for this |
| 00:11:28 | 00:11:31 | specific niche and you can see that they |
| 00:11:30 | 00:11:33 | are doing |
| 00:11:31 | 00:11:35 | very well right now if we come over here |
| 00:11:33 | 00:11:38 | to similar web we can see that even in |
| 00:11:35 | 00:11:40 | the month of june they had over 225 |
| 00:11:38 | 00:11:42 | 000 visitors so this is one of the |
| 00:11:40 | 00:11:44 | options that you have is |
| 00:11:42 | 00:11:45 | create a niche focused store around the |
| 00:11:44 | 00:11:46 | product that you're selling |
| 00:11:45 | 00:11:48 | the second option that you have is |
| 00:11:46 | 00:11:50 | creating a one product store |
| 00:11:48 | 00:11:52 | this one product store is going to have |
| 00:11:50 | 00:11:52 | your featured product your one product |
| 00:11:52 | 00:11:54 | that you're selling |
| 00:11:52 | 00:11:56 | and just complimentary upsells that go |
| 00:11:54 | 00:11:58 | around that main product |
| 00:11:56 | 00:12:00 | and an example of this is blind jet so |
| 00:11:58 | 00:12:02 | blind jet sells portable blenders |
| 00:12:00 | 00:12:04 | and their main product that they're |
| 00:12:02 | 00:12:06 | selling is just their portable blender |
| 00:12:04 | 00:12:08 | and here's a perfect example of just |
| 00:12:06 | 00:12:10 | having complementary upsells to that |
| 00:12:08 | 00:12:11 | main featured product so we all know |
| 00:12:10 | 00:12:12 | that this is the product that they're |
| 00:12:11 | 00:12:13 | selling right now and this is what their |
| 00:12:12 | 00:12:15 | main focus is |
| 00:12:13 | 00:12:17 | but their accessories definitely help as |
| 00:12:15 | 00:12:18 | well so you can see they have an |
| 00:12:17 | 00:12:20 | insulated sleeve |
| 00:12:18 | 00:12:22 | they have an insulated tote they have a |
| 00:12:20 | 00:12:24 | recipe book that you can be able to make |
| 00:12:22 | 00:12:26 | all different types of recipes with |
| 00:12:24 | 00:12:27 | this is an example of a one product |
| 00:12:26 | 00:12:28 | store that just have complementary |
| 00:12:27 | 00:12:30 | upsells |
| 00:12:28 | 00:12:31 | so after you think of the direction that |
| 00:12:30 | 00:12:33 | you want to go either going with a one |
| 00:12:31 | 00:12:34 | product or a niche focused store |
| 00:12:33 | 00:12:37 | the next thing you need to find is a |
| 00:12:34 | 00:12:38 | great supplier and the easiest way for |
| 00:12:37 | 00:12:39 | you to be able to do this |
| 00:12:38 | 00:12:41 | is use the same supplier that you were |
| 00:12:39 | 00:12:43 | just using on your general store |
| 00:12:41 | 00:12:45 | and work directly with that agent that |
| 00:12:43 | 00:12:47 | is in china and allow them to help you |
| 00:12:45 | 00:12:49 | be able to brand your product |
| 00:12:47 | 00:12:50 | order inventory in the united states and |
| 00:12:49 | 00:12:52 | provide |
| 00:12:50 | 00:12:53 | faster shipping for your customers once |
| 00:12:52 | 00:12:54 | you have a winning product this is a |
| 00:12:53 | 00:12:56 | very simple process |
| 00:12:54 | 00:12:58 | they're going to want to make money from |
| 00:12:56 | 00:12:59 | you continually scaling this product |
| 00:12:58 | 00:13:01 | so these suppliers are going to do |
| 00:12:59 | 00:13:03 | whatever they can possibly do to make |
| 00:13:01 | 00:13:04 | sure that they can work for you and be |
| 00:13:03 | 00:13:04 | able to give you the products that you |
| 00:13:04 | 00:13:06 | need |
| 00:13:04 | 00:13:07 | they're going to be giving you the best |
| 00:13:06 | 00:13:08 | competitive pricing why because they |
| 00:13:07 | 00:13:10 | already saw that you could sell the |
| 00:13:08 | 00:13:11 | product they're going to give you the |
| 00:13:10 | 00:13:13 | best shipping times because overall they |
| 00:13:11 | 00:13:13 | know that if they're going to be helping |
| 00:13:13 | 00:13:15 | you |
| 00:13:13 | 00:13:17 | they're going to be helping themselves |
| 00:13:15 | 00:13:18 | and while doing so before you go into |
| 00:13:17 | 00:13:19 | this direction you want to make sure |
| 00:13:18 | 00:13:20 | you're working with somebody who you can |
| 00:13:19 | 00:13:22 | trust |
| 00:13:20 | 00:13:23 | there's a lot of untrustworthy agents |
| 00:13:22 | 00:13:25 | out there so make sure that you're being |
| 00:13:23 | 00:13:26 | careful and you're completely validating |
| 00:13:25 | 00:13:27 | these suppliers |
| 00:13:26 | 00:13:29 | and like i mentioned before all of my |
| 00:13:27 | 00:13:31 | students in my one-on-one mentorship are |
| 00:13:29 | 00:13:32 | getting access to my private supplier |
| 00:13:31 | 00:13:33 | who's giving you seven to ten day |
| 00:13:32 | 00:13:35 | shipping |
| 00:13:33 | 00:13:36 | if not better and she will work with you |
| 00:13:35 | 00:13:39 | to be able to create a high converting |
| 00:13:36 | 00:13:40 | brand and even getting us inventory |
| 00:13:39 | 00:13:42 | if you're ready to be able to test |
| 00:13:40 | 00:13:44 | efficiently find a winning product and |
| 00:13:42 | 00:13:45 | brand your store make sure to just dm me |
| 00:13:44 | 00:13:46 | the word brand at ac underscore hampton |
| 00:13:45 | 00:13:48 | on instagram |
| 00:13:46 | 00:13:50 | and finally the third step that you can |
| 00:13:48 | 00:13:52 | be able to take which has literally cut |
| 00:13:50 | 00:13:55 | my advertising costs in half |
| 00:13:52 | 00:13:55 | is taking that same custom product that |
| 00:13:55 | 00:13:58 | you have |
| 00:13:55 | 00:14:00 | and now making custom content around it |
| 00:13:58 | 00:14:02 | so instead of using ads with footage of |
| 00:14:00 | 00:14:03 | all the different stuff online |
| 00:14:02 | 00:14:05 | or just stealing the competitors of what |
| 00:14:03 | 00:14:07 | they're currently using |
| 00:14:05 | 00:14:09 | i'm now able to shoot my own ads and |
| 00:14:07 | 00:14:11 | either make them myself |
| 00:14:09 | 00:14:12 | or send the product out to somebody for |
| 00:14:11 | 00:14:14 | them to be able to make it for me |
| 00:14:12 | 00:14:16 | and the professional that i love to be |
| 00:14:14 | 00:14:17 | able to use is dropship media |
| 00:14:16 | 00:14:19 | and you guys can send all your products |
| 00:14:17 | 00:14:21 | directly to her po box and she can make |
| 00:14:19 | 00:14:22 | viral videos around these |
| 00:14:21 | 00:14:24 | and you guys can use the code alex |
| 00:14:22 | 00:14:25 | code10 if you're wanting to get ten |
| 00:14:24 | 00:14:27 | dollars off your first order |
| 00:14:25 | 00:14:28 | these three steps alone will help you be |
| 00:14:27 | 00:14:30 | able to take the leap from running a |
| 00:14:28 | 00:14:32 | drop shipping store to running a |
| 00:14:30 | 00:14:33 | successful online brand |
| 00:14:32 | 00:14:35 | of course there's more things that you |
| 00:14:33 | 00:14:35 | can be able to do than just these three |
| 00:14:35 | 00:14:37 | things |
| 00:14:35 | 00:14:39 | but these three changes alone will set |
| 00:14:37 | 00:14:40 | you apart from 99 |
| 00:14:39 | 00:14:42 | of dropshippers who are trying to sell |
| 00:14:40 | 00:14:44 | the same product as you this is |
| 00:14:42 | 00:14:44 | ultimately going to put more money into |
| 00:14:44 | 00:14:46 | your pocket |
