Having said that, let's go ahead and get started with the video. Everything that I'm going over, by the way, you can read about it in the blog, which I will leave a link to right below this video. So go ahead and check that out if you are the type who likes to read. So what are the top 11 dropshipping software and tools for 2022? Let's take it from the top. The number one tool that I want to recommend in this video is none other than AutoDS. And the reason behind that is because AutoDS is really the number one e-commerce platform for dropshipping that you have out there today. You have so many things included in AutoDS, like automatic product importing, automatic order fulfillment, automatic tracking number updates, price and stock monitoring, over 25 reliable dropshipping suppliers, compatibility with the top selling platforms like Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Shopify, Wix, Amazon and so much more coming soon. So you can dropship and have full automation from over 25 dropshipping suppliers, giving you access to millions and millions of products that you can then resell on those selling channels that I just mentioned. And of course, you can do it in multiple regions worldwide. So if you see someone, one of your competitors doing a really good job on a specific market, you can do the same thing on a different market around the world. So you don't always have to dropship to only one region like the US. You can also dropship in different regions like UK, Australia, New Zealand, Germany and so many more countries around the world. Those are some of the things that help AutoDS stand out so much more. We also have a great blog page that's updating at least twice a week with new articles coming out that will help you out with dropshipping tips and strategies, product finding, case studies, success stories and so much more. And an updated YouTube channel with videos such as this one to help you gain more knowledge in dropshipping and of course, help you scale successfully. If you don't know about AutoDS yet, just head on over to autoDS.com. See all of the features and benefits. Try out your $1 trial and see how it works for you. I'm sure that you will like what you see. One of the things that's worth mentioning is AutoDS's new product research tool that simply helps you find the best products to sell on your stores. And you can simply import it in just one click from the AutoDS system to your dropshipping stores with full price and stock monitoring automation, quick product importing as I just explained, and of course, automatic orders and automatic tracking number updates. Check out the new product research tool because soon you're also going to have private wholesale dropshipping suppliers that only you can work with as an AutoDS member. This is going to be an exclusive benefit and will give you the dropshipping contracts that many dropshippers are looking for. And once again, to work with private wholesale dropshipping suppliers. So you can work with retailers, you can work with private suppliers, you can work with whatever you want and scale your business to new heights. Everything is very flexible on AutoDS. And if you're ever having any trouble with anything, we have full live chat support and a ticket system. If you do not want to wait for the live chat or if it's not available at the moment, you can always open up a ticket. And of course, any problem that you're having will get resolved as soon as possible, head over to autoDS.com, see everything that's going on over there. And then you'll know exactly what I mean and why I put us at number one on the list. Number two on the list is Oberlo. Oberlo is another dropshipping automation software that will help you with things like price and stock monitoring, help you semi automate your orders. And that's pretty much it. You can only integrate Oberlo with Shopify and Aliexpress as your supplier. So it's pretty much just limited to that one supplier, Aliexpress and that one selling channel Shopify. So if that is what you're looking to do and you're not looking to expand your dropshipping business any further, you can give that a look. One of the things that's also worth mentioning about automatic orders, they're using your buyer account to purchase your product for you on Aliexpress. So for example, you imported a product from Aliexpress to Shopify, and now you got a sale on your Shopify store. Somebody purchased that product. Now Oberlo can help you fulfill that order and fulfill it for you automatically, but they're going to use your buyer account on Aliexpress, meaning they're going to need your login details and they're going to use your credit card or whatever payment information you submitted in Aliexpress. So the credit is on you and that's what it's like using the automated orders method on Oberlo. When you compare that to AutoDS, AutoDS can also help you semi automate your orders using your buyer accounts. But better than that, there's also the fulfilled by AutoDS service, which completely fulfills your orders 100% automatically, not using your buyer accounts, meaning AutoDS has enough buyer accounts of their own, and they will use them to fulfill your orders. All you have to do is top up your managed balance and enjoy the special benefits that you will get using the AutoDS and Payoneer partnership. If you want to use Payoneer as your payment solution, you can also use PayPal, credit card and others with AutoDS. But in any case, let's go back to Oberlo. So we know that they have one supplier, which is Aliexpress and one selling channel, which is Shopify and a semi automatic order fulfillment method. And that pretty much sums up what they can do. Their pricing for the starter plan starts at $5 a month, basic plan $30 a month and the professional plan at $80 a month allowing you to import 30,000 products. But of course, all of them have to come from Aliexpress. Those are the top two dropshipping software that you can use to automate your dropshipping business. Now, keep in mind, there are much more dropshipping tools out there, but none of them come close to these. So keep that in mind. And now let's move forward to the best product research and spy tools that will help you gain a competitive edge over your competitors because with these spy tools and product research tools, you can really see what your competitors are doing and it really doesn't matter what selling channel you are using. So let's start with the first one, Zik Analytics. Now, Zik Analytics is a great product research tool for anyone who's dropshipping on eBay. So if eBay is your selling channel, check out Zik Analytics. They are great, especially for beginners who really don't know their way around dropshipping products and trending products that they can sell on their stores. Many people in the beginning of their journey think that they can actually work with everything manually without the need of any software and tools. And very soon they find out how wrong they were and how much they should have used tools to begin with to save them a lot of time and mistakes along the way. So one of the things that's great about Zik Analytics is they provide you with more than 100 million product ideas that you can use. And when I mean product ideas, I mean they show you statistics of how well products are selling on eBay. And in some instances, they can also show you what suppliers those products are coming from and see how much you can profit if you were to import that product and sell it on your store. They also work with around 20 suppliers and offer things like store analytics for your store and price analytics. And to make things even easier for you, if you're using Zik Analytics and also AutoDS, any product that you find on Zik, you can import it in just one click from Zik to AutoDS. You will have an icon there that will allow you to do that. So once you're done researching your products, it's very easy to import those trending products to your dropshipping stores. The only con or disadvantage about Zik is that it's only good for eBay. So if you're not dropshipping on eBay, you won't really find Zik useful for your business. But of course, if you are using eBay, their subscriptions start at $30 per month and climb up to $90 per month. So check out their pricing plans, what's included in it and make the right decision for your dropshipping store when it comes to product research. The second product research tool is Sell the Trend. Now Sell the Trend is great for other selling channels like Shopify and Wix where you are creating your own customized website and you've got your own domain name. So here it's a little bit harder to spy on your competitors and see what they're doing because it's hard to know what stores are Shopify or Wix stores when you're searching for something on Google. It's not like eBay where you can simply search for something on eBay and see what your competitors are doing there. It's much different on Google. That is why you have Sell the Trend that will show you lots and lots and lots of huge database of Facebook ads showing you what products people are dropshipping and running Facebook ad campaigns on them and then you can spy on their campaigns and see what they are doing there. What products they're selling, where they're getting these products from. Sometimes it can give you this type of insight and sometimes it can't but either way you can always use big suppliers like Amazon or Aliexpress to search for those specific products and see what is the source price for the products in the ads that you're seeing in Sell the Trend. Here's a screenshot of what their platform looks like and you're just seeing a whole bunch of trending products where you can click on it and see more information like who's selling this product, how much they're profiting, how well it's going, how many total dropshipping orders there are, what selling channels this product is selling on, spying on their ads and so much more. So this is a great tool to use for product research. Of course you're going to have to pay a monthly subscription for this like the others and Sell the Trend is a little bit more expensive than other tools like Zik Analytics but it really depends on what selling channel you're selling on and what type of information you need. You also have more benefits like one click push to stores, a supplier database that can connect you with thousands of dropshipping suppliers to help you source those products, marketing tools and more. So check out Sell the Trend if your selling channel is Wix or Shopify and you need help with your product research with their product explorer AI-backed spy tool and that one click push to store, I'm sure that you're going to have an easy time researching for products and of course adding them to your store and managing your dropshipping business when it comes to product research. The third tool that I want to talk about is Koala Inspector. This is another neat little tool. It's actually a Chrome extension and you can use Koala Inspector to help you spy on your Shopify competitors and soon they're also going to add it for Wix. So with Koala Inspector, you can not only spy on Shopify stores and see what they're doing and how well they're doing it, you can also see what products they're selling, what's going well for your competitors. You can also go to any website, open up any website on Google and then you can click on the Koala Inspector to see if this is even a Shopify or Wix website because if it isn't, then it's really not that interesting. They're not your competitors, but if it is, then you can take that page as an example, go to their product pages, see what's selling well, you can track how much traffic your competitors are getting and not only see how much their products are selling but also see where they're sourcing it from and so many more things that will help you spy on your competitors. Use the Koala Inspector, it's one of the best Chrome tools out there, one of the best Chrome extensions to help you spy on your competition and see what they're doing and learn from their best practices. You also have an integration with Koala Inspector and AutoDS. So if you wanna quickly import the products that you're seeing on Koala Inspector to your dropshipping stores, you can do that with just a click of a button inside the Koala Inspector extension. Number four on the list, you have Jungle Scout. Jungle Scout has been here for a while and they are one of the biggest and best product research tools if you are dropshipping on Amazon. Even if you're not dropshipping on Amazon and you wanna learn about what products are trending today in the dropshipping market, Jungle Scout is one of the best go-to software in order to get that information. They help you with many things like finding new opportunities, they have a huge product database with millions of products, a huge supplier database with lots of suppliers that you can work with and negotiate with to manufacture and private label your products, a review automation tool, a rank tracker to see how well you're ranking on Amazon, a keyword scout to help you build optimized product titles, sales analytics, promotions tool, and so much more. So it's much more than just spying on your competition but it also does a wonderful job at that. The only cons that I have on Jungle Scout is that they have no mobile support. They don't have any mobile apps. So if you're traveling out somewhere and you didn't bring your laptop, you can't log in to Jungle Scout and do the things that you love to do. And of course that it only works with Amazon. So if you're not selling on Amazon, if you're not dropshipping on Amazon, you can use this tool to help you find trending products but coming at a price starting at $29 a month which is actually very limited with the things you can do. You'll probably have to go with a $60 or more package. This is probably a tool you're only going to use if you're only dropshipping on Amazon. Number five on the list is Helium 10. This is a direct competitor to Jungle Scout and pretty much everything that Jungle Scout can do, Helium 10 can also do it, including product research on Amazon, keyword research, analytics, finances, and more with over 450 million products in their database. So if you're dropshipping on Amazon, I highly suggest to make a comparison between Jungle Scout and Helium 10 and see what is the best for your business. Helium accounts start at $39 per month and can even go as high as $399 a month for their elite plan. So go ahead and check out those two Jungle Scout and Helium 10 if you're dropshipping on Amazon. Now let's talk a little bit about photo and video editing tools. We talked about dropshipping software automation. We talked about product research. Now let's see how we can optimize our product pages to convert even more. And for that, of course, we have dropshipping software such as Fodor as number one on our list. Fodor can help you do things like edit your photos, create great designs and make collages for your dropshipping images, and also have a free plan so you don't have to pay anything to check them out and check them out for as long as you like if you don't mind seeing ads everywhere. But if you do mind and you wanna put a few bucks on the side for this, the starter plan starts at $9 per month which is really not expensive. Another great photo editing tool that you have is also inside the AutoDS system. With AutoDS's advanced image editing tool, you can also do many of the things that I just mentioned and of course all of that is completely free and included in your AutoDS subscription. But if you wanna use an external tool, you can check out Fodor. The second tool and I highly recommend this one if you want to create highly engaging videos for your products is a tool called Waving Pandas. Now Waving Pandas is a video editing company and they're here to help you not only optimize the current video, the bad one that your supplier supplied you with but even if you don't have a video for your product, you can simply send it to them and they will record a video for you and really create an engaging video because that's what they're all about for your dropshipping products. Now you can use this video on your product page and show the buyer exactly what this product does and what problem it helps them solve and you can also use that video inside your Facebook ad and that is the video that you will use for your PPC, for your pay-per-click and if you guys wanna learn how to run successful Facebook ad campaigns from A to Z even if you haven't engaged in online marketing before, head over to autoDS.com slash eBooks and we have an eBook waiting for you there, eight steps to successfully run Facebook ads 100% completely free even if you're not an AutoDS member we want to help you grow and succeed in your dropshipping business. So Waving Pandas is a service that helps you create high converting video ads for your products, so if you're dropshipping especially on Shopify and Wix, you want to check out this service, they also have integration with various platforms and dropshipping video ad packages so if you wanna buy three videos it's gonna cost you less than just creating one video. The only cons that I have to say about Waving Pandas is that you have less control over the editing process even though you can't tell them what you want and you have revisions with them but you can't talk to them while they're editing cause they're at someplace else in the world and whatever comes out is something that you'll have to revise later but that's pretty much the same with any other video recording company and that they specialize in video ads only. Now once again, you can use the videos not just inside ads but that's what they specialize in and we also have a special 10% discount for you if you'll sign up to Waving Pandas using the link that I'll leave right below this video. Finally, I wanna talk a little bit about profit, expenses and finances calculators because this is a very essential tool to help you understand exactly how much money you're taking out for your business and how much money you're bringing in. This is something that many people think is fine and they just let it run in the background without any extra help from services and tools and at the end of the day they don't really understand why they haven't been able to withdraw any money to the bank. This is exactly what these tools are going to help you with. So starting at number one on our list is Be Profit. This is a great tool to use to help you analyze all of the profits that you're making, all of your expenses, have a full overview of all of your business metrics, everything that's going on in your business regarding financing. They also have advanced ad spend tracking which helps you track your ad spend so you won't be losing money on ads that aren't working well. They also support multiple Shopify stores and they have excellent customer support for anything and everything that you may need. So this is their main website. You can schedule a demo if you wanna try them out before you buy and once again this is the number one go-to tool for managing your finances and knowing exactly how much you're spending in your e-commerce business no matter what online platform, what selling channel you are using. The last tool that I wanna recommend is the eBay Fees Calculator. This is a 100% free tool by yours truly by AutoDS and of course you have a link to everything that I'm talking about in the blog right below this video. Now if you click on the eBay Fees Calculator it'll take you to this page and you have a full explanation of how to use the Fees Calculator right here below and frequently asked questions but basically this is actually very, very simple. Choose what region you're selling on and of course this is good only for eBay dropshippers, eBay sellers. Choose your category, choose your payment processor, your eBay account if you have a store subscription if you're an international seller and so forth then fill in all of the information like the selling price, you're selling the product for example for $30, you're paying $10, no shipping price, no shipping cost and let's say you're not running any promotions in this case you'll make a profit or let's choose a category, let's say it's in the books and magazine and we're going with the managed payments and so for this example, our total fees are $4.67 and we'll be making a profit of $15. This is using of course the algorithms that eBay uses to calculate the fees including the final value fees, category fees and everything else. So use the eBay Fees Calculator to understand exactly how much you're profiting on eBay and at what price you should sell a certain product in order to make great profit and still stay competitive.
