 For example, this portable printer buying it for $19 and selling it for $65. Here's another example. Finding this product, this dog button recorder on AliExpress for $25 and flipping it on Amazon for $70. This is what I love about the Drops being business model. You can take a product from one place, sell it on another and you will make those sales and profits when you're selling products that are in demand. Those are people are actually looking to buy right now and this is what you're going to find from these product research methods. So you finally decided to start dropshipping and when looking up information on the internet, you may have found that there's just way too much information, way too many videos and it's really hard to really understand the right way how to start a successful dropshipping business in 2024. And in this video, I'm going to simplify the whole process and help you understand exactly what you need to do step by step. Now I'm going to talk about all of the important things that you need to know about and I'm not going to be limiting you to any specific selling channel or supplier since there are so many that we can work with. With over seven years of dropshipping experience and still doing it to this very day, I'm more than happy to share all of my knowledge with you and I'm not just going to leave it at that. I have prepared a full cheat sheet for you and this cheat sheet has everything that you need to know, everything that I'm going to go over in this video. So if you want access to it, all you got to do is comment hashtag dropshipping 2024. Let me know what you learned from this video and I will gladly share this cheat sheet with you that has winning products, the best suppliers, how to start dropshipping from A to Z with so much content that you're going to learn in this video. But do stay tuned because I always like to throw in extra value and by the end of this video, you'll know exactly what you need to do to start run and manage a successful money making machine. So without further ado, let's go ahead and get started. So to start off, what is dropshipping for all of you who are new here? So dropshipping is a business model that simply allows you to fulfill orders and have an online store without holding any inventory or any stock. So it comes with a minimal upfront investment. You simply have an online store, a customer purchases from your online store. You forward the order details to your supplier and your supplier will ship the product to your customer so you won't have any physical contact with the product and you will keep the profit between the source price, how much you paid your supplier to the selling price, how much you sold it for on your selling channel. Now dropshipping has been around for a while and it's not going to go anywhere. So if you're asking yourself, is dropshipping still worth it in 2024? The answer is not just a yes. It is a big, big yes. And you can just take a look at this little graph right here by Globe Newswire. As you can see, this is the dropshipping market size over a span of 10 years. And right now we're right here in 2024. These are all of the previous years. So as you see, it's gradually growing year by year. And what we have coming up ahead of us is much bigger than anything we've ever seen, witnessed or experienced in the previous years. So if you're asking yourself, is there still room to enter the dropshipping scene? The answer is definitely a yes. Now is the best time to start. If you haven't done so yet, watch this video, get all of the information and resources that you need and then go ahead and take action. And as we can see in this Google Trends chart right here, the dropshipping term is being searched for more and more each year. So again, it's not going anywhere. The market size is increasing year by year. If you ever wanted to start, now is the time. So what are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the dropshipping business model? Let's start with the advantages. First, it has a low startup investment. You can start anywhere from zero dollars. And I'm going to show you how all the way up to around five hundred dollars so that you can get a store up and running and start marketing your products. But again, you can also go with the free methods. And I'm going to show you again, everything in this video. So it's actually a low risk and high reward business model where again, you don't have to have that much capital to get started. And once you see the sales and profits start to roll in, that's when you're going to invest it back into your business and continue to grow until you start making substantial profits. Next, it can be done pretty much from anywhere. All you need is a computer and internet connection and the knowledge that I'm passing on to you in this video. There are no limits with the scalability. You can scale as high as you want to go. And once you've got all of the knowledge and experience, you can go on to create a network of business assets that will work for you even while you travel and even while you sleep. Now, some of the cons or disadvantages of the dropshipping business model is that sometimes it's difficult to build a brand, especially since we're dropshipping and we're only purchasing a product once someone actually buys from us. So that's why sometimes it's difficult to brand a product when the supplier doesn't really want to brand a product if you're only going to purchase one each time. But I'm going to cover that and I'm going to show you how you can still brand your business in this video. The second is finding winning products, products that are actually in demand, products that people are actually looking to buy. This is one of the most difficult parts when starting a dropshipping business, and I'm going to tackle this issue to the core pretty soon. The next is finding high quality suppliers to work with. There are the conventional suppliers that many dropshippers are using like Aliexpress and Amazon and other retailers. But then where are the private suppliers? Where are the wholesale suppliers that every dropshipper is looking to work with? Again, that's something I'm going to show you in this video, knowing where to sell, how to start and having no control over stock prices and stock changes that are happening on your supplier's website that need to also happen on your website. And this exactly is where automation comes in. So those are some of the pros and cons. Now I really want to get into the action. So let's continue. Now, before we go on to how do we actually create a dropshipping store and what all the rules are, I want to share with you some of the best winning products that you can sell in your stores. And I have all of these products in the 2024 cheat sheet that I will send to you once again. You comment hashtag dropshipping 2024. Let me know what you learned in this video. What was your top takeaway? And I will send you this sheet with everything that I'm talking about and all of the links inside. So check out this product right here, this mini portable printer. It's being bought for less than $19 and it's being sold for over $50. Let me click on the link to show you exactly what it looks like. So here inside the Autodesk winning products hub, we can see this printer and we can add it to our stores by just clicking on this import draft button right here. But more on that later. This is the ad copy that the seller is running. He's got over 33,000 likes, over 4,000 comments and this is what their website looks like. I can even get to their website by clicking on this link right here. So you can see their website right here. This is a website that was created on Shopify. This is one of the selling channels that we can sell on. And here's the supplier, the source where they're getting it from, in this case from AliExpress. They're buying it for $19. They're selling it for $50. And now I'm going to show you three ad copies, three different competitors who are selling this product on their stores. So this is competitor number one, 240 likes, 70 comments. This is competitor number two, with 6,000 likes, 400 comments and 1,300 shares. And this is competitor number three with 18,000 likes, 1,200 comments and 2,400 shares. Now each of course are linking to their own website. So in this case, I can click here to go to this seller's website and this guy's selling it for $65. And there was the other website that I showed you selling it for $50. And they all have a lot of success selling this product. I can tell not just by the amount of engagements that they're getting, anyone with 18,000 likes is getting a lot of clicks to their website and these people are purchasing, they're checking out. We're looking at around a two to 5% conversion rate, which means around 2%, at least 2% of the people who are clicking are actually purchasing the product. And another way to see that is simply by downloading the similar web extension. And this will give you an indication of how many people are entering this website on a monthly basis. So I'm just gonna click on the extension right here and we can see that this website, doodle-dot-com has over 31,000 visits per month. And if I go to the second website, PrintPod, we can see that this one is getting over 46,000 monthly visits. That's because they ran good ad copies as I showed you and I'm gonna share the links to all of that in this video. And if we just take around 47,000 monthly visits and get that 2.5% conversion rate that's over 1,175 purchases per month. And this means that this store right here who's buying it for less than $20 and selling it for $65, they're making over $40 in profit. So if we take 1,175, multiply that by $40 profit per month, they're making about $47,000 just by putting the right product on their website and marketing it the right way. And showing you three different competitors selling the same product comes to show you that there is no such thing as product saturation. Make a better offer to your buyers. It can be cheaper. You can also add an extra gift when they purchase that product. So they will wanna buy a product and get a free bundle that comes with it rather than pay another competitor around the same price and not get that free gift. There's many things that you can do to outshine your competition. And of course, I'm gonna touch up more on that later. But this is just one product example that you can see that there is no such thing as product saturation. There will always be someone else who's selling a similar product. You can sell the same product. You can sell a product that looks the same but has different variations, maybe different colors, different dimensions. There is always something that you can do to stand out and make more sales than your competitors. So once again, some of the things that we can do to outshine our competition is doing things like adding free gifts like this free gift add to cart app for Shopify. If you're selling on Shopify, you can make offers to your buyers or get offers from your buyers and also add promoted listings if you're selling on eBay. And you can simply win the buy box if you're selling on Amazon. Those are just some examples and I've got links on more information on how you can do all of that inside the cheat sheet. Now next, I've got some of the best-winning products for you to sell and I wanna share this with all of you and all of this has the information that I showed you. What ads people are running for these products, how popular they are, their websites, their suppliers, where they're getting it from, how much they're making, how much they're profiting so that you can really take these examples and sell these products on your stores and do a better job than what you're seeing out here. So some of these products include this headrest pillow with an integrated massage, neck and back stretcher, reusable LED balloons, a four-in-one high-speed USB flash drive, which of course, there are many variations for you guys to resell, fast charging retractable car chargers, portable picnic tables, bathroom kitchen gap cleaning brush, 1080p HD wireless camera and more that I'm not gonna go over in this video but this cheat sheet is packed with them and again, hashtag dropshipping2024. In the comments below, let me know what you love about this video, what you learned about it and of course do not forget to like and subscribe if you guys appreciate the value. So those are some of the winning products, soon I'm gonna show you exactly what you can actually do with them but I started with that because I know that many people are having a hard time understanding what products to sell before they even get this whole party started and if you create your dropshipping store, add products, make your homepage look really good, choose the right selling channel, market your product the right way but you're not selling a product that's in demand right now because you haven't done that research and you don't have that experience yet, your dropshipping store is simply not gonna get anywhere. So we wanna start with the right products and that is what this cheat sheet is gonna offer and of course we have all of these products and more inside the AutoDS winning products hub. So if you're a member of AutoDS, enjoy all of these products, I'm gonna talk more about that later but you can find all of that and then some there, we've got hundreds of new products being uploaded every day with all of the information that you need. Now let's talk really quickly about what dropshipping products not to sell. We can talk about what we can sell, we've got years and years of data and analytics and a huge database of winning products but what about products that we cannot sell because we can't just sell anything that we want right? There are things that we are simply not official resellers of, for example, big brands. If it's a brand that you probably heard of before like Nike, Sony, Apple and more, you can obviously not resell their products. However, what you can do is resell aftermarket parts or aftermarket accessories made by third party manufacturers and you can and will be able to resell those products that fit the iPhone like cases for iPhone, screen protectors for Samsung Galaxy and so forth. So all of that is not a problem as long as the manufacturer is not a big brand. So we cannot sell copyright and trademark products, we cannot sell age restricted products like pornography, alcohol, tobacco and we cannot sell dangerous goods. This one should go without saying but no guns, no ammunition, no flammable liquids and anything of that sort. And no medicines, no supplements, we're not doctors, we cannot sell these things. And again, if you want to learn more about what products you need to avoid reselling just click on the link in the cheat sheet and it'll take you to a full article on how you can learn more about that and this way you'll know that what you are selling in your store is perfectly fine. Now let's go over the best dropshipping suppliers to use in 2024. There are new suppliers that are coming out all the time and they're looking to work with dropshippers and here I kind of want to split the suppliers into two. We've got retail suppliers and we've got private suppliers. Now under that we also have wholesale suppliers. We can have retail wholesale suppliers, we can have private wholesale suppliers and this just brings us one layer deeper inside and by finding suppliers that don't need to go through middlemen to find us. So this means we're actually getting a much, much better price. Now the difference between retail suppliers and private suppliers is that retail suppliers can be found anywhere and any dropshipper can work with them. For example, AliExpress, Amazon, Walmart, the Home Depot and all of those types of examples, those are retailers. Now some of them may not want you to dropship from them, it doesn't mean that dropshippers are not doing it and that it's not possible but some retail suppliers are simply not as dropshipping friendly, whereas on the other hand we have private dropshipping suppliers who are looking to work with dropshippers like us and make our jobs much, much easier. Another difference is that usually retailers have much more products for us to resell so it's easier to work with retailers while on the other hand private suppliers have special products, unique products that retailers usually don't have so for me a combination of both is usually the winner. In any case, we don't wanna work with just one dropshipping supplier, it's good to work with multiple and also from different locations around the world. This way we can not only target the worldwide audience, we'll have more products to sell, we're not putting all of our eggs in one basket so if one supplier ever fails to provide we can always lean on the other suppliers that we're working with. So we wanna work with multiple suppliers and some of the things that we wanna look for in a dropshipping supplier is to make sure that they have global warehouses as I mentioned, we wanna be able to reach out all over the world with our products. It's good to target only one place in the beginning but as we get more and more used to it we wanna open up our stores that's where we're gonna get more traffic and more sales. Many people like to start selling in the USA or in the UK, in other words to the US audience or to the UK audience and it's okay you can do that from anywhere around the world you don't have to reside in the same place that you wanna sell to. However you do need to understand how it works with the sales tax, income tax and all of that, all of which you can learn by simply hiring an accountant and asking them how all of that works. More info on that later, let's continue. So we wanna look for global warehouses, we wanna look for suppliers who can quickly ship out our products and that have fast delivery times simply because customers do not wanna wait 30 days to get their products. It's not six years ago, it's now, it's 2024, nobody wants to wait a month. Next we wanna find suppliers with good return and replacement policies. Now check out the difference between offering no returns on your store to offering 14, 30 day or even 60 day returns if our suppliers can offer that to us of course we're going to offer that to our customers and once we offer our customers returns most of them are not gonna return their products but the fact that we gave it to them in the first place did give them the confidence that they need to proceed with the checkout process because they know that they can always return the product if they don't like it. Next we wanna get suppliers that have fast and reliable customer service. The better service you get from your suppliers the better you'll be able to offer your buyers. So we wanna reach out to our suppliers, see how fast they can answer us and see what types of solutions they offer us to the problems that we give them and this way we can really get a good understanding of the type of service that we'll be able to offer our buyers. Next we want suppliers with a wide product range so that we can sell more trending products as they come in and we want high quality products to reduce the amount of returns that we'll get. Lastly we wanna supplier with competitive product prices. This should go without saying but the better the prices you're getting the better the prices you'll be able to offer your buyers meaning you'll be able to be more competitive and make more sales and profit. And now that we understand what to look for in a dropshipping supplier here's a list of the best dropshipping suppliers for you to work with. Now remember we haven't talked about selling channels yet we haven't talked about where to sell these products and how to work with these suppliers. Right now I'm just giving you all of the resources and tools that you'll need so that you can slowly narrow down and start building your store. So we understand what to look for in a supplier. Now I'm gonna go over the best suppliers that you can work with in different niches, different regions, different types of suppliers. Check out this list that I prepared for you. So the first supplier that I wanna talk about is AutoDS that is now a private supplier. This is all happening inside the AutoDS marketplace where now the system has private suppliers meaning other suppliers who are signing up to the system, adding their products to the system and you can easily take those products and sell them automatically on your stores and AutoDS also is a private supplier inside the system with a warehouse that ships really quickly and has trending products that are ready to ship out every single day. Now not only that but the private suppliers in AutoDS can also offer customized branding. So we talked about the branding issue when it comes to dropshipping and I mentioned how it's not really possible to brand your products and ship each one out with your logo if you're a dropshipper and you're only purchasing one product each time. No supplier is gonna create a customized logo for you for only one order each time and we don't wanna purchase inventory in advance because that's not the dropshipping business model but now it is possible with customized branding inside the AutoDS warehouse. Here's a brief overview of what it looks like. So we've got the marketplace, the AutoDS marketplace right here and here are under suppliers. I'm going to choose AutoDS suppliers which has the private suppliers and as I scroll down you can see like this backpack for example has a customizable branding text attached to it coming from the AutoDS warehouse. So this means that this product not only can we add it to our stores by just clicking on this button and in just a couple seconds it'll get added but we're gonna talk more about that stuff later. This product can get sent out with your customized logo on it. So I clicked on it really quickly just to see what it looks like inside and we can see here that we've got different variations, different colors of this backpack that we can add to our stores and we can also send a private message to the private suppliers. So I just clicked on send a message and here I'm just gonna write hey, this is just a test message. How are you doing? So here you can start communicating with your suppliers, check out their products, check out their shipping times. You can even try to negotiate a better deal for these products but that's just another example of what you can do inside the AutoDS marketplace with the private suppliers and as I mentioned since it has customizable branding this means that we can add our brand to this product simply by going to the store settings on AutoDS and uploading our logo right here. So this is the logo that I've uploaded right now and every product that I sell from that private supplier that offers customizable branding the product will get sent out with my store logo on the product and that is simply amazing. So that is why the AutoDS marketplace and private suppliers is my top go-to for drop shipping suppliers but guys there are many more suppliers on top of that. One example is simply by heading to the AutoDS suppliers page and here you have a list of over 30 drop shipping suppliers that you can start working with today. Not only are these suppliers super important but you can also automate every aspect of your drop shipping business with them so you'll have price monitoring, stock monitoring, automatic orders, quick product importing and so much more. You can also filter these suppliers by different regions. So as I mentioned it's important to work with suppliers that can ship to different locations around the world or that are based in different locations around the world so that we can ship quickly to our target audiences around the world and here we can simply filter the different types of regions or we can search for a specific supplier but here you've got over 30 suppliers that you can work with which is already a huge list of suppliers with tens of millions of products that you can start reselling today not only reselling but also automating your business with them. But on top of that if you wanna work with a supplier under a specific niche like let's say you wanna open a jewelry drop shipping store you have this blog article right here with the best jewelry drop shipping suppliers that you can work with and as I scroll down you can just see that you have the list right here and you have an explanation about each supplier what they can do for your jewelry drop shipping business and we've got the same for different types of niches for example, pet drop shipping suppliers clothing drop shipping suppliers drop shipping gifts from the UK drop shipping clothes from the UK candle drop shipping suppliers print on demand drop shipping suppliers from Australia medical suppliers which you need to be careful with cause we talked about medicines and supplements but this will help you understand exactly what types of medicines and supplements you can sell lingerie drop shipping suppliers Australian drop shipping suppliers Florida, Canada, UK, USA 33 drop shipping suppliers and wholesale drop shipping suppliers. So all of these blog articles are packed with information with how you can connect with these suppliers how you can work with them who they are, what types of products they have and how we can drop ship them successfully. So this is my list of the best drop shipping suppliers to work with in 2024 and believe me, it's more than enough. Now one more important thing that I wanna add onto suppliers so let's say you're working with these suppliers you're adding products from their best seller sections and you're testing them out on your drop shipping stores of course I'm gonna get to all this stuff later but if you've done this before and you've been making sales or you're about to start making those sales cause you listed those products and by the way, you can all invest just one dollar into your business sign up for AutoDS with your one dollar trial and you'll get all of the automation things that I'm talking about in this video. It's definitely worth the investment and of course I've got a link to it right below this video. So another thing that you can do is also source for products. So let's say you're already working with a supplier let's take these dog chew toys right here. So I'm gonna open up the item editor for it. Okay, so this is just one of the products that I have on one of my stores we can see all of the information right here but here I can click on these three dots and I can request sourcing. This means that I can tell the system Hey guys, I just sold this product and I'm looking for a cheaper source. I don't like my supplier which in this case I can click on the supplier right here. It looks like Walmart's logo. Let's see, yeah. So I don't wanna buy from my supplier Walmart they're a retailer and I actually wanna get a cheaper supplier that has faster shipping or a cheaper price. So can you please source this product for me and find a cheaper supplier and the system will do that for you. So that's another way to not only help you get more profits for your order it's gonna help you with your product research cause you're gonna be connected to better suppliers but it's also gonna help you once again find better suppliers to work with for your drop shipping business find those private suppliers and start to scale your business from there. So that's another quick tip when it comes to drop shipping suppliers and sourcing your products to find better suppliers for the products that you're already selling on your stores whether from retailers, wholesalers, private suppliers and so forth. So we talked about working with multiple suppliers we talked about private suppliers we talked about auto DS suppliers and auto DS as a supplier but I'm also gonna add more methods if that is not enough to find the best suppliers to work with in your drop shipping stores in your drop shipping business. So another way to do it is to simply conduct a Google search for private wholesal drop shipping suppliers and that's gonna give you a list of other wholesal drop shipping suppliers or private suppliers that you can work with. However, this is the manual method you're gonna have to reach out to them you're gonna have to negotiate with them see what the requirements are make sure that they don't have a minimum order requirement like for example, if you go to Alibaba you'll notice that they're selling a lot of products they support drop shipping but on the other hand they do require an MOQ or a minimum order quantity for many of their products not all but for many of their products which again takes us away from the drop shipping business model which we don't wanna do. So we have to contact those suppliers we have to negotiate with them pricing payment options and all of that and once we find someone that looks like they're gonna work well with us we can go ahead and start working with them. Also we won't really be able to benefit from automation when we're working with these private suppliers that we found off of Google so it's gonna be a little bit more difficult to scale our business but it's still a possibility and I'm still gonna throw it out there. And when we start to negotiate with these private suppliers that we found from search engines make sure that they comply with the things that we're looking for in a drop shipping supplier which I mentioned earlier in this video. And now let's actually understand how we can start a drop shipping business after we've been over product research suppliers and all of these important aspects that we need to understand that we need to take advantage of before we jump in and start to create our stores which is what I'm gonna show you how to do right now. So how do we start a drop shipping business in 2024 a step-by-step tutorial? So this is the right way to start a drop shipping business in 2024.

working well for them and of course we can replicate that success with the dropshipping suppliers that we found the next method for product research again absolutely free costs $0 is going to your suppliers websites and checking out new products new arrivals and best sellers and one of the new best suppliers on the scene is Timu and we've already got content on how you can leverage Timu for your dropshipping business you can also automate them add products in a second and you'll have price and stock automation all of the automation going on with AutoDS we also support Timu and here you simply wanna click on new arrivals and see what are some of these products that you simply haven't seen before like this cute bat shape novelty bag I've seen all kinds of bags but I haven't seen this cool bat shape one and you can continue narrowing down on products that you simply haven't seen before now if you're new to the dropshipping scene almost every product is gonna look new to you but the more you look into it the more you research for products the more you check out what other competitors are doing the easier you'll be able to spot new items that are coming out that people simply haven't started selling yet now again I said that saturation is not an issue but it's much easier to sell products that are not being sold by too many competitors out there and you can do that once again by going to the new arrivals and testing out those products another one is simply by clicking on suppliers best seller sections so Timu of course also has a best seller section you can do it with other suppliers that you're working with but these are proven trending products what we see right here so this is another place where you can easily find hot sellers to market to your audience another place to conduct product research and get it again absolutely for free is leveraging the AliExpress dropshipping center so I left a link to it with a full blog article and a video on how to use the AliExpress dropshipping center and this simply has it all it has all kinds of trending products you have a smart filter system and you can easily find so many new winners using the AliExpress dropshipping center which AliExpress created just for us dropshippers so go ahead and read about how you can use the AliExpress dropshipping center we all have it for free inside our AliExpress accounts more info on the content that we have below and lastly once you use all of these methods or one of these methods you'll find more than enough winning products for you to start your dropshipping business from and start to learn from those products that actually start to sell on your store on top of that I'm also going to provide you with this product research dropshipping spreadsheet where you can easily start to narrow down on your winning products so this means for example that you're going to add the product's name right here you're going to add the source, the supplier's link and you're going to answer all of these questions like are you passionate about this product do you even care about it because it's more difficult to sell products that we don't really understand or we don't really have any passion for them when we don't know what they are is it hard to find in stores is it hard to guess the price is it safe to sell does it solve a problem or stand out this is one of the most important things one of the most important questions that we want to ask ourselves if the product is not a problem solver then we can't show the audience why they need it talking about a product's features is not going to do the job you need to make the customers or the online shoppers understand why they need this product so what problem does it help them solve and does the product cost less than $30 we don't want to start with really expensive products it's easier to sell cheaper products in the beginning and once we answer all of these questions if we have no one, some of them we'll move on to the next products and the ones that we answered yes to all of them those products have a much higher chance of selling on our stores so use this product research drop-spin spreadsheet I have a link to it again in the cheat sheet all you got to do is click on file make a copy so that you can start making those edits yourself and again more freebies for product research this is how you're going to find winning products and you don't have to spend a dime doing so so we talked about product research now we're going to talk about selecting a drop-spin supplier now we already talked about the suppliers we talked about the AutoDS marketplace with private suppliers, customized branding and the AutoDS warehouse we talked about the 30 plus drop-spin suppliers that you can automate your drop-spin business with today including Timu, Shane, Etsy, AliExpress, Amazon, Walmart and more and you also have niche and region specific suppliers in the list that I showed you above so once you choose what supplier you want to work with and take everything into consideration everything that I showed you in this video next you want to choose a selling channel and now it's about time to start talking about this most videos out there that you're going to see are going to try to get you to sell on one selling channel because that's mostly where they have their experience but we have much more experience than that here and today the best selling channels for you to sell your products on are eBay, Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, Facebook Marketplace, Facebook Shops, WooCommerce and Wix so those are the selling channels that are really popular today some are marketplaces and some are customized websites I'm going to go over each and every one of them so that you can narrow down on the one that suits your business the most starting with eBay so the first selling channel that I want to talk about is eBay I've been dropping on eBay for years and years now and it's one of my favorite selling channels to sell on so I'm going to show you my screen soon I'm going to show my eBay store and some of the things that I'm doing there as well as other selling channels that I'm going to talk about but for now, here's one of the reasons why I love eBay for one, it's really easy to get started you don't need to create a whole store from scratch you can simply register for an eBay account and start selling at zero expenses today eBay offers over 200 listings that you can list absolutely for free without spending a dime and you'll only have to owe them something only after you make a sale so you can really start to scale your business once you start making sales and profits and if you're not making any sales with those 200 products you can always replace them with other products until they start to sell and then with those profits you'll start to invest it back into your business as I mentioned before so it's easy to get started it's got millions of online shoppers with intent to purchase now eBay's got millions of online shoppers with an intent to purchase what this means is when someone opens up eBay as opposed to opening up a Google on eBay they're opening it because they're looking to buy something and when they're opening up Google they can just search for something like I don't know how to get rid of acne so on eBay you've got millions of online shoppers entering every day with an intent to buy something they're gonna search eBay's search field for something that they wanna buy and if your title is similar to what they're searching for they're most likely going to see you on the front page and that is how you can get free organic traffic to your store you can do it without any marketing techniques and without spending a dime on marketing and I'm also gonna go over some free marketing methods that you can use for eBay as well as for other selling channels another thing that I love about eBay is got well I already mentioned this but it's got a zero dollar starting budget I already explained why and that's one of the things that I love about it also you've got seller and buyer protection for us what's good is the seller protection so of course for example if a buyer reaches out and opens up a case on eBay and says hey I didn't get my product the seller you didn't send the product to me so why don't you just give me back a refund for my money and because you're a smart seller and you're working with suppliers that supply tracking information that's actually trackable and readable then you can prove to them that they actually got the product hey here's your UPS tracking link or USPS or FedEx or whatever shipping carrier you got from your supplier here is proof that your product was delivered to your address and this way eBay is going to side with you the seller instead of just saying oh if a buyer said so then it's probably true so that's you the seller getting seller protection and this is one thing that eBay offers seller and buyer protection and it's also easy to spy on the competition it's easy to just open up eBay search for a product that you wanna sell and see how well other competitors are selling them eBay will easily show you how many similar sellers are selling that product and how many sales they're making from it so it's really easy to spy on the competition and see what they're doing some of the cons of selling on eBay is selling limits so if you don't have an eBay account or if you haven't sold anything yet on eBay before then you're gonna start off with around the 10 products that you can sell and even though eBay tells you hey you can list 200 products for free only if it's a new account we're only gonna allow you right now to list 10 products that's not a lot not enough to conduct product research and see what's working well for us so for this we're gonna have to learn how to raise our selling limits and I'm gonna provide you with all of those resources soon the second is competition now competition isn't the end of the world but it will cut from some of ourselves and some of our profits and that's why we're watching this very special video to understand how we can overcome all of that it's difficult to build a brand on eBay because it's not your own store it's eBay store at the end of the day and you're simply selling on their marketplace so while you do have a store front and you can create your own billboard and your own logo and stuff it's not your URL it's not your store address it's eBay so it's more difficult to create a brand around that product and also there's no customer email list this is a great marketing methods to be able to send email marketing campaigns to our buyers and send them some promotions send them some offer so that they will wanna go to your website and of course purchase or repurchase again on eBay we're not collecting any email addresses eBay is gonna keep that information for themselves so on the one hand they're giving us millions of online shoppers free organically as long as we're selling something that people are looking to buy they're gonna find their way to our listings but on the other hand they're gonna keep the customer information so that they can retarget them and they can resell to them but you can also target customers who are taking interest in your products I'm gonna get to that soon so here are some of the best resources that you can have so that you can start selling well on eBay the first is how to start drop shipping on eBay a full beginners guide and this blog article and video that's embedded inside will take you step by step on how to create an eBay store from scratch and this has it all including how to sign up for it to eBay how to list your first item how to conduct product research on eBay selecting suppliers to work with calculating your profits importing your products fulfilling your orders upgrading your selling limits and all of the extra things that you need to know about so this full guide has it all it's again completely free A to Z how to start a store from scratch with no experience to actually making your first sales and profit the next resource is how to find top selling items on eBay so this blog article and video will help you with your eBay product research next is the 20 best eBay drop shipping suppliers so you can connect with the right suppliers to work with on your eBay stores how to increase eBay selling limits we've got a full article detailed only on increasing your eBay selling limits which is really important especially if you're starting a new eBay account now if you're a seasoned seller and you already have some accounts and you've been selling for a few years there's a lot of market places where you can buy ready-made eBay stores or people who have been selling for a while and now they're selling their stores cause I don't know they moved on to other things and you can take advantage of those stores and those selling limits also so you can either start your own or buy a working business and you've also got a free A to Z eBay drop shipping course everything of course is linked inside the cheat sheet again if you want it just drop a comment below hashtag drop shipping 2024 let me know what you learned in this video what was your top takeaway and I will share this cheat sheet with all of the links inside so here's that free eBay course that I was talking about again absolutely free just click on the link and start watching all of these videos that you have for this course this course will take you through a full tutorial every step of the way this again is more than enough to start a successful drop shipping business on eBay which is one of the selling channels that you can sell on so again you've got your list of suppliers with tens of billions of products that I showed you that I talked about in this video you can take those products and sell them on your selling channels which is what I'm going over right now so eBay is one of those selling channels where you can sell all of those products from your suppliers now let's take a quick look at one of my eBay stores so you can see right here I'll even refresh the page so you can see it's not some screenshot or whatever so here's some of the traffic that I'm getting on my eBay store and you can simply see they're giving out to you everything with full analytics you can see how many people are coming in organically how many people are coming in from promoted listings which is one of the marketing methods that I'll talk about later when we get to the marketing part but again I'm not paying a dime for marketing only after I make a sale on eBay my top 20 search spot impressions and so forth so you can see my total impressions how many of them are organic how many page views and sold listings but I'm gonna show you that in a different screen and this is just looking from September to October so just one month of data now let's look at some of the performance and sales so we can see some of that right here again this is just in the last month and this is just one of my stores I have multiple stores I don't have enough time to show you guys everything but this is just one of them so we can see the total amount of sales in the last month the quantity sold average price per product how many sales in total how many total buyers we have how many of them are one-time buyers how many of them are repeat buyers and sales by category and more information that they offer and we've also got the payment section so I can just refresh this again this is the total funds that eBay owes me so at the moment they owe me around $500 and they process some of those funds some of them are available I have my payouts set on a daily basis but still sometimes it takes them a few days to send their payouts but that's okay I've got enough cash flow going on to process my orders, get my payouts and of course send the profits withdraw them to my bank account this eBay account is connected to one of my pioneer accounts so eBay sends the funds to my pioneer account and I use my pioneer account to either pay for my orders, pay my suppliers or withdraw the funds, the profits to my bank account so that's mainly how it works with eBay again this is just off the top there's much more that goes to it and that's why I left all of the resource links right here so eBay is one of my favorite selling channels number two is Shopify now Shopify unlike eBay is your own customizable website this means that you're gonna have your own www.yourstorename.com and even if you don't have any technical experience you can still create a complete store from A to Z so first things first use this free Shopify trial signup link otherwise Shopify is not gonna give you a free trial and it's important to start off for free start off with a budget of zero use the link that I have in this cheat sheet to get your free Shopify trial and really try it out before you buy some of the things that I love about Shopify is once again it's a fully customizable website you have no selling limits unlike eBay Shopify won't tell you hey you can only this 10 products on day one you can list a thousand or even 10,000 products on day one hey it's your store it's your business you can do whatever you want with it third it's easier to build your brand because again it's your store and you can make it look however you want it's not inside a marketplace nobody owns your store except for you you can collect of course your customer's email list so this time when customers are leaving their email addresses because you're sending them some promotion or they purchase from your website you're collecting their email address and once you have a few hundred email addresses or a few thousand you can start sending them email marketing campaigns again we're gonna talk about marketing soon but this is another really important thing to have because once you have the customer's email address they're yours and sending out an email doesn't cost any money so this is free marketing for your customers but it does take a while to build it up in the beginning again no technical skills required and you have access to the Shopify themes in App Store so you have a huge list of themes to make your store more visually appealing and you have the App Store that can help you make more conversions help you with marketing help you with better pop-ups help you with email marketing campaigns help you make good offers for your buyers free gifts and so many more things that you can do there some of the cons about Shopify is that it actually requires a marketing budget now there are some free marketing techniques that I'm gonna talk about soon but mainly if you wanna start running ads for your products so that people can actually see it you're gonna have to spend a budget on marketing whereas in marketplaces that have free organic traffic like eBay you don't really have to spend anything on marketing you can list a product and if somebody is searching for it they're most likely gonna find it in your store only on Shopify there is no Shopify search engine they can search on Google but Google is gonna have so many other types of results so this means that you're gonna have to spend a budget on marketing to get your product in front of the target audience another is that it has a more difficult learning curve than other methods even though I'm gonna solve this for you soon it takes time to build a store especially if it's your first store or your first couple of stores and it comes with a monthly subscription you have to pay a monthly subscription in order to get your store open running on Shopify even if you haven't made any sales yet that is why it's crucial to start with the free trial sign-up link and right now Shopify is also gonna offer three months for one dollar using this link so again, use it take advantage of it try before you buy and make your business work the right way by investing the minimal amount and getting the maximum results some of the resources that I have for you to start the right way on Shopify is a full free Shopify drop-in course just like the eBay one that I showed you so this is the same for Shopify you have all these lessons here and it has everything that you need on every topic and here, side by side I create a store from scratch with you whether it's the logos or the homepage and the product page and everything that comes along with it navigation menus and so forth next we have a how-to-start drop-shipping on Shopify full guide again, embedded video inside if you wanna watch the video but you have the whole walk-through of how to start a Shopify drop-shipping store just like the course only here it's broken down into sections in a blog article and you have more content like how to start drop-shipping from AliExpress to Shopify if you wanna use AliExpress as your supplier top Shopify drop-shipping stores examples and their secrets so there we have a lot of examples of Shopify stores that are making it, they're successful and we gave you all of their strategies and everything that they're doing there how to spy on Shopify stores so you can spy your competition even better and the top 17 Shopify drop-shipping suppliers so I'm not gonna open those links now but that is some of the Shopify resources that you're gonna get inside the drop-shipping 2024 cheat sheet and here's one of my Shopify drop-shipping stores let me just refresh this dashboard really quick so these are the stats from the last year we've got almost a million dollars in sales in 82% increase most of it that's coming from the online stores rather than the apps that I'm using over 610,000 online store sessions online conversion rate of 2.5% as I mentioned, it's mostly between two to 3% so I usually take 2.5% because that's what's happening in my stores that's also what's happening on other stores that I see and again, this is the average conversion rate in the drop-shipping industry so we've got 38,000 ad-to-card sessions we've got over 17,000 total orders average order value of $65 which is pretty good, that's medium ticket we've got the top-selling products returning customer rate of 16% which is great, I've got a lot of returning customers on this online store and again, the Shopify dashboard is full of analytics of everything that you need so user resources learn exactly the steps that I took in order to create the successful drop-shipping stores so that you can replicate the same success for you now the next selling channel that I wanna talk about is Amazon, we can all sell on Amazon anyone can create an account there and start drop-shipping products right now and this goes by entering a buy box and making a better offer than the sellers who already have their products listed on Amazon the reason that we wanna do this is because we can completely automate our business connect our Amazon store to Autodesk and have everything automated for us here's an example of one of my Amazon drop-shipping stores so I have a couple of products listed here and again, you've got access to the Amazon Seller Central where you can take a whole bunch of actions on your store even though most of it can be done through Autodesk and one of the things that I love about Amazon is just like eBay, it's easy to get started just sign in, verify your seller account and start adding products millions of online shoppers with an intent to purchase that's why they enter Amazon cause they're looking for something that they wanna buy and again, not how to create arts and crafts or whatever, they have free organic traffic so they're gonna give you they're gonna bring the customers to you simply add products that people are looking to buy and they will find their way to your listing it's easy to spy on the competition just like on eBay search for the product that you wanna sell on Amazon see how well it's going there for other sellers or maybe you'll notice that there's not much competition on it so that you can easily enter that buy box and kill the competition enter the buy box and win that's what it's all about if you have no idea what I'm talking about do not worry because of course I've got all the links to the resources below but let's talk about some of the cons this does come with a monthly subscription especially once we start to automate our business but again, in the long run, it's worth it because we're gonna make much more sales and profit this way but there is a professional monthly subscription that we need to pay Amazon so that we can start selling there is a bit of competition which of course we can definitely outcome and again, it's difficult to build a brand because it's a marketplace just like eBay and there's no customer email list just like eBay that's a marketplace it's one of the cons that we have there but we have the other pros like free organic traffic easy to get started and they just simply have millions of customers who are looking to purchase products day by day and they can make it to your listing so one of the resources that we have here inside the 2024 cheat sheet for drop shipping again, hashtag drop shipping 2024 and I'm gonna send this cheat sheet to you with everything that I'm going over in this video don't forget to like and subscribe if you appreciate the value so here is the free Amazon course and you can see all of the lessons right here and of course we've got more info like a full video that many people seem to like over 240,000 views as I'm recording this video so it's a full walkthrough on how to start your drop shipping business on Amazon of course we've got a blog article that's also gonna take you step by step hand in hand as you start by registering your account choosing your selling plans starting to look for products looking for good products that are selling so that you can enter the buy box and be the first seller on there so that every time someone purchases from Amazon they're gonna purchase from your listing even though there's other sellers on Amazon who are selling that same exact product it's called winning the buy box and I show you everything on how to do it in that blog article, in that video and in that free course and you've got more content like how to drop ship on Amazon without money the 10 best Amazon drop shipping courses free and paid, the best drop shipping products to sell on your Amazon store and Amazon product research a good guide to finding trending niches check out Amazon, I highly, highly recommended next is Etsy Etsy is a unique marketplace where artists usually sell their handcrafted handmade or arts and crafts and also craft supplies, tools and party favors those are the main categories that you can sell on Etsy that's what makes it a unique marketplace easy to get started it's another marketplace that has tons of buyers that are entering every day with an intent to purchase so again, these marketplaces are gonna get you free organic traffic just sell the right products and you will get customers to see your product and also purchase them it's also easy to spy on your competitors cause again, you just need to search for whatever product you wanna sell on Etsy in this case and see how well it's going for other sellers one of the things that I love about this as opposed to the other marketplaces or most other marketplaces is that this has no monthly subscription Etsy doesn't want any money from you on a monthly basis however, there is a 20% listing fee so every time you list a product it'll cost 20 cents now there are also no monthly selling limits you can sell as many products as you want however, again, since every product every listing is gonna cost you 20 cents to list you're probably not gonna list 3,000 products in one day you're slowly gonna start to test different types of products that you can sell in the handmade categories and other categories that I'm also gonna show you in the content later but if you're selling the right products again, doing the right product research selling from the right categories on Etsy then you will slowly start to build your business because there's a lot of shoppers and there's a really low competition right now when dropshipping on Etsy because there's simply not a lot of dropshippers there I however am of course one of those dropshippers here's one of my Etsy stores and you can see right here and I did start the store recently so only got about 2,500 views, 1,300 visits just about 27 orders, $730 revenue because again, I just got started with this Etsy is relatively new but I'm still experiencing good sales and I've only got 11 active listings that's not a lot it's actually not good at all to have such few listings and I wish I had more time but I'm sharing with you all of the strategies that I know in the content that I add inside that cheat sheet but again, as you can see right here I've got an order that I need to ship tomorrow I can open the orders page and see the rest of my orders the ones that were completed so I can scroll here and just see more products that I sold and of course I can go to the finances I can do some marketing but as you can see right here on some of the notifications that I got recently they lifted the payment account reserve that they put usually on new sellers especially when you don't update tracking information that's actually trackable on Etsy but in time they're also going to lift that as they did for me right here because they see that I'm a good seller and I'm getting good reviews and there's no problems with my transactions and I'm also making sell from offsite ads and more marketing methods that I'm gonna talk about soon but again, one of the things that I love about Etsy is that it's one of the new kids on the block that you can start drop shipping on with minimal competition at least while I'm recording this video so take advantage of that we are now at the golden age at the golden years of drop shipping on Etsy some of the cons is that it's restricted only to specific niches and categories as I talked about so you can only sell inside the handcrafted, handmade or vintage items niche, arts and crafts and craft tools and supplies as well as party favors those are the only things that you can actually sell on Etsy and if you start to add products that are not related to that Etsy is slowly gonna start taking down your listings and eventually also suspend your account so nobody wants that to happen that's why you need to learn how to sell on Etsy the right way and that is why I added these resources to the cheat sheet a free Etsy drop shipping course just like the other courses that I showed you how to start drop shipping on Etsy a full beginner's guide article with a video inside how to drop ship jewelry on Etsy and the top 20 Etsy drop shipping suppliers so Etsy again is more of a niche store whereas in other selling channels that I talked about you can decide whether you wanna open a general store or a niche store however my recommendation right from the start is to begin with general stores this way you can broadly test the market different categories, different products and see what starts to sell and once you start to pinpoint and cherry pick those winners you can consider making a niche store around that product so if you're wondering if you should start with a niche store or a general store that is your answer right there and I wanna quickly answer another question that many, many people are asking what happens if I'm using let's say Timu or Amazon as my supplier and I ship out the product to someone who bought it on my eBay store for example they're gonna get it in Timu branding or in Amazon branding logos all over their packages so isn't the customer gonna be mad that they ordered from eBay and they got a package from Amazon? The answer to this and everybody who ever tried drop shipping before can back me up on this one the customers do not care about the packages and where they came from all that matters to them is that they got exactly what they ordered in the right time frame that you showed on your product page once they get it they're gonna be happy that they got the product so put this question on the side do not worry about it start drop shipping and you'll see exactly what I mean so Etsy is another great selling channel to work with another is Facebook Facebook Marketplace and Facebook Shops let's go over the pros and cons really quick you can easily promote your products for free on Facebook Group so you don't have to spend a dime on marketing it's easy to get started anyone with a Facebook account has the marketplace and can start selling there however there are some cons to this that I'm gonna get to soon so you can get free organic traffic of course customers who are looking to buy things they click on the marketplace because they're looking to buy something so then they can find your listing there is no monthly subscription no monthly fees and no selling limits these are the top pros the top advantages of selling on Facebook Marketplace Facebook wants you they're looking for e-commerce store owners they're looking for people who are looking to sell their products whether you're new or used and in order to get as many sellers as possible they need to bring down their fees now all of the marketplaces all of the selling channels that I talked about in this video they will charge you with transaction fees marketing fees with payment processor fees and Facebook will too only Facebook has the lowest one and they won't charge you anything before you actually start making sales and profit which I personally think is great especially for beginners who don't have much of a budget to begin with now some of the cons of job shipping on Facebook Marketplace and take this into consideration you need to be a US citizen because you will have to provide SSN social security number for verification once you reach $500 in sales not only that everybody in the US because on Facebook Marketplace you can pretty much drop ship only to the United States audience but if you want to be able to do that successfully you're gonna have to have the shipping options available when you're adding a listing to the Facebook Marketplace and in order for that to happen you have to be connecting through a US IP address in other words you need to live in the United States and you need to be a US citizen if you want to drop ship successfully on Facebook Marketplace otherwise there are some ways to go around it but I'm not gonna go over that in this video so it's more difficult to build a brand on such Marketplaces and of course you're not collecting the customer's email addresses because Facebook is gonna keep that for themselves besides that it's a great great Marketplace to sell on especially if you meet the prerequisites that I wrote in the cons now you've got a lot of resources for Facebook Marketplace one again is a free course split by sections by lessons like I showed you in other courses everything again completely free how to start drop shipping on Facebook a full beginner's guide article and a video and we've also got a case study on Paul Lipsky a popular dropshipper YouTuber who made over $600 profit in one week drop shipping on Facebook from Amazon as well as more content like product research on Facebook how the fees work how to calculate your profits the best Facebook Marketplace categories and a full case study how I went from zero to 35 sales in one week full transparency I showed all the products that I sold how I sold them how I reached out to the customers how I marketed it and everything else so everything that you need to know about drop shipping on Facebook Marketplace is inside the resources below next we've got Wix and WooCommerce I put these two together because they kind of go hand in hand it's kind of like Shopify where you can create your own customizable website where there are no selling limits it's easy to build your brand you're collecting your customers email so it's really important for email marketing there are really no technical skills required even though it is more technical than other methods that I showed you and it has a themes and plugins store which is kind of like Shopify's app store and theme store so that you can create your own themes and add all kinds of plugins that can help you make your store look better and make more sales now the cons kind of similar to Shopify is that it requires a marketing budget because once you add products to your stores again, nobody knows that it exists just like Shopify you're gonna have to market your products either in freeways or paid methods to get people to know that your products and stores actually exist it has a more difficult learning curve than the other methods that I showed you it takes time to build a store and both of them require monthly subscriptions more information on that on the resources that I sent below how to start dropping from AliExpress to Wix the 10 best Wix drop shipping apps the top 15 Wix drop shipping suppliers how to start drop shipping on WooCommerce and WooCommerce versus Shopify if you're looking for that side-by-side comparison and by the way, these tutorials really give you a full walkthrough on how to create your stores from zero from scratch up until you have a store up and running that looks really good and selling profitable products all right, so now that we have an extended overview of the selling channels that we can sell on and we talked about suppliers and product research here's how everything can now come together so what are we gonna do with all of this information? we've got the products we've got the suppliers we wanna work with we've got the selling channels that we wanna sell on how does it all come together? so check it out this is exactly where AutoDS comes in now AutoDS is an all-in-one automation platform and this simply helps you connect between your products, suppliers and everything that goes in between for full automation including price and stock monitoring in other words, when the prices change on one of your suppliers websites it'll also change automatically on your drop shipping stores that you don't really have to do anything about it when the supplier goes out of stock it'll also go out of stock on your store it also has automatic order fulfillment we haven't touched up on orders yet but we will soon so all of your orders can be fulfilled for you automatically whether it's using your buyer accounts or AutoDS's buyer accounts again, more information on all of that later and that also includes automatic tracking number updates as soon as tracking information is available it'll also be updated so that your customers can always know what's going on with their orders and all of this is happening automatically product sourcing which I touched up on earlier in this video an automatic product importer making it really easy to add products to your stores an AI title and description rewrite tool which I think is absolutely great especially now that we're entering the generation of artificial intelligence and here's an example of how that works so I've got this product right here this fluffy cloud for your bum so this is a memory foam mattress topper product and here next to the title or also next to the description I can click on optimize description with artificial intelligence and here I can have the title, the description or both the title and description being rewritten for me automatically because when we add these products from our suppliers to our stores usually the writing is not gonna be that good, that professional and we still wanna have something different than what other people have and this is exactly what this tool is gonna offer us so we can simply click here on AI rewrite and it's going to rewrite the title and a description to make it more eye-catching to make it more professional to make it more sellable for our buyers and this way we can really stand out from the competition so we've got the AI title and description rewrite tool and so much more including automatic price optimization like raising our prices on products that are selling well so that we can profit more decreasing the prices when they don't sell all up and down to a certain limit so that we will find that sweet spot in the middle and be able to make the most sales and the most amount of profit full inventory management with so many filters as we can see up here this is the products page so these are some of the products that I'm selling on my stores I can add a filter and I can easily filter it by the profits the quantity, the item location the monitoring that I have the profit percentages by how many times the product sold and so many other filters so this way you can really analyze how well these products are selling and one of the things that I love here about the system is that you can see right here I can continue adding more stores so here I've got some eBay stores I've got an Amazon store I've got some Shopify stores some Facebook stores, Wix and WooCommerce all inside one AutoDS account and I can have all of the products showing up here and I can see everything on the dashboard to see how the business is working and I can easily analyze the products by all of the filters that I have and all of these stores or selling channels in other words that we talked about earlier we can add all of the products from the suppliers that I mentioned tens of millions of products into these selling channels and sell them all with full automation then we also have of course the marketplace and the winning products hub which already talked about so that's just some of what AutoDS can offer you as a full automation software for your dropshipping stores for your dropshipping suppliers with everything included inside including product research, the marketplace the private suppliers, the winning products hub automating your orders and so forth everything under one intuitive dashboard Okay, so once we connected our stores to AutoDS and it's very, very simple just go to AutoDS and click on add store and click on the next store that you want to add and then you can start adding your products so choose the selling channel that you want from the selling channels that we talked about add that selling channel to your AutoDS accounts and the next step is to add products so you have your store connected then we're gonna start adding products and that's it, you're gonna start selling so here's how simple it is to add products to AutoDS now again, if you guys need the link to register to AutoDS you can either use the link inside the cheat sheet or just go to autoDS.com and register for your $1 trial now let's talk about adding products because we already went over product research we went over our suppliers we added our selling channel we went over selling channels we added it to AutoDS now we need to start adding products so how do we actually do that so there's a few ways to add products to your stores, I'm not gonna go to all of them now but you can easily just head over to autoDS.com slash suppliers see what suppliers you can work with what suppliers you can automate your business with this is gonna give you your first indication so let's say for example I'm gonna choose Timu okay so I'm just gonna go to timu.com and I'm just gonna click on one of the products right here that I'd like to add to my store like let's say this cool looking trendy chest bag right here so I can just go to the product hover over the URL, copy it head over to AutoDS, click on add products and here I can add a single product I can add multiple products I can do so many different things but let's keep it simple I'm gonna go with single product paste the URL right here it automatically chose Timu because it knows that that's a supplier then I'm just gonna publish it to my store right away or click on edit now quick so that I can do some product optimization before I actually add it to my store and that's just one way of adding products to your store another is simply by going to the marketplace and seeing what products we have from all of the suppliers that I mentioned from private suppliers, wholesale suppliers if you don't wanna work with one of these suppliers or if you wanna add more suppliers to your list you can simply go to the marketplace or the winning products hub choose a trending product from there and of course you can click on it to read more information on the product as I showed you before or you can simply hover over import draft from outside the page or from inside the page and add this product to your store so in just a few seconds this product is gonna be sold on the selected stores that I have so this one just took a couple of seconds let's go to the drafts and here it is right there now we can enter the product optimizer and I can optimize the title but again I'm going to use optimized title with AI for that it's just much much better same goes for the description and the rest of the things got automated like the tags, the country location the variations all three of them got added as well as all of the product images and of course everything was added in just a couple of seconds in just the click of a button there are more ways of course to add products to your stores but again I don't wanna make this video longer than it has to be there's more info about that through autoDS.com just hover over our features or you can simply click on the automatic importer right here inside the cheat sheet so there's the manual way of adding products by just going to your selling channel and clicking on I wanna list a new product but of course this is gonna take a long time it's gonna consume a lot of time cause you need to copy and paste the title copy and paste the description you can use chatGBT to do your AI rewrite but again this is just gonna take more time cause you're doing everything manually download all the images from your supplier upload all the images to your selling channel item specifications and everything else so it's gonna take a lot of time especially when you wanna add multiple products you don't wanna spend all day doing that so that's why automation is king so we talked about the AI product title description generator so I'm not gonna go over it now now that you have products in your stores okay we went over product research we added trending products to our stores we added, we connected with autoDS we added our selling channel to autoDS and we started adding products to our selling channel from the suppliers that we can automate our business with everything so far has been automated but now it's time to market our products and again it depends on what selling channel we're using we have different types of methods and I'm not gonna leave you alone here because marketing is super important so I broke down marketing to organic marketing by the way this is that printer tool that I talked about so you can see that it's also very trendy on TikTok I found this one seller who has lots of viral videos on this product that's one of the marketing methods that we can use let's go over that right now so we've got organic marketing methods that don't require any budget like recording and publishing product videos on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube shorts and reels just like we're seeing right up here so you can order the product to your house of course that's gonna set you back a few bucks however much the product costs but now you can shoot as many videos as you want on that product upload it to TikTok, upload it to Instagram upload it to YouTube shorts and watch the organic traffic start to roll in just make sure that inside your bio you have a link to your website and your product page that they'll know where to go to purchase this product so this one requires no budget or at least a budget just to purchase the product and send it to your home you can of course create a blog page you can use email marketing if you want good ways to create blog pages I highly recommend watching our chat GPT video which shows you how you can do well many things for a drop screen business using chat GPT we have a link to it right here in the cheat sheet but it also shows you how you can write effective emails for email marketing and creating good blogs that will work well on Google so that you can get free organic traffic that way then we've got the paid marketing methods where a budget of course is required for example, 2014 is the year for artificial intelligence and we can also use that for our marketing efforts there are many tools that can help us one of my personal favorites are Hey Jen because you can actually start for free by creating product videos for your products you can use your own voice you can use artificial intelligence voice you can use whatever avatar you want and here for example, I can show you one of the quick ones that I created for a product that actually came with a template so you can choose your own text you can change whatever product you want inside the video and of course change the text around change the speaker write whatever text you want her to say or him to say and you have a timeline right here where you can completely edit the video and of course once you submit it you can actually watch it in action okay like this one right here I created it I didn't show the product but I created a quick video AI copy for an electric garlic measure tool so I just entered the text right here and click on play and I just think that that's simply amazing again I'm not gonna get too much into it you can have AI create a video for your product if you don't wanna create one yourself or if you don't of course wanna use the video that you got from your supplier which usually isn't good enough and other dropshippers are already using that method then we've got pay per click ads and I've got a full ebook on how to run ads on Facebook we also have the

Pinterest TikTok and YouTube those are the best places to run ads on today to actually get effective results and we've also got influencer marketing again I've got a link to it in the cheat sheet guys, if you fast forwarded to this section of the video I have this cheat sheet up for grabs with all of the links all of the resources that I'm talking about just drop a comment below hashtag drops being 2024 let me know what you learned in this video what is your top takeaway and of course do proceed to like and subscribe to our channel if you appreciate the value I will send you this cheat sheet with everything inside so influencer marketing is another great way to get people to see your products so you're hiring influencers to create shout outs for your product and with this article in video on influencer marketing platforms that can hook you up with the right influencers that have an audience following or that's relevant to the product that you're selling this way you'll be able to narrow down to the right influencers to negotiate a price with them get them to create a shout out for your product maybe even send them the product have them do a quick review on it and they're gonna get you a lot of traffic to your stores this is the newer way of marketing it's newer than email marketing it's newer than pay-per-click ads it's as new as AI generated videos it's a little bit older but these are the top two new methods of marketing that's really making a killing today for other sellers now here are some of the marketing tools that we have that are selling channel specific marketing for example on eBay we've got also PPC ads that we can run I've got content on that on how to run effective pay-per-click ads for eBay, a video and an article so all the information that you need is right there and I showed you my campaigns that I ran and I showed you also the results my keywords, how many sales and so forth and how to start this from A to Z but of course, pay-per-click ads require a starting budget because you need to give a daily budget $5 per day, $10 per day so that your ads will start running and you may or may not get sales right from the start whereas in other methods like eBay promoted listing standard here, eBay will promote your products and you won't have to pay a dime for it until only after you make a sale from those products now there are more ways to market you can also create coupons, volume pricing and run sales events all of these methods do not cost you any money except for the advanced promoted listings which is pay-per-click so you can start with this start to make yourselves in profit and once you start to make those profits invest it also into pay-per-click if you don't have the budget for it right from the start that's the right way to market on eBay next for Facebook Marketplace you can run Facebook Promotions and you can also promote your products in buy and sell groups that are relevant to your product of course I've got the link right here to show you exactly how you can do those things TikTok, how to use TikTok marketing to promote your products so that you can create videos that look like this and other conventional methods that are working really well today on TikTok being the new social media kid on the block so again a full blog article on how you can do that inside a cheat sheet for Etsy you can run sales and discounts pay-per-click ads and also run off-site ads all of these methods worked I showed you on my Etsy account on my Etsy store how I also got sales from off-site ads and for Amazon we've got sponsored ads or in other words pay-per-click so Amazon also has that going on and additional marketing resources like marketing strategies without using Facebook or Instagram and upselling strategies for Shopify this again has all of the information that you need to market your products the right way no matter what selling channel you are using everything is covered here with the top newest and freshest methods for 2024 now after you marketed your products correctly it's inevitable now you're gonna finally start making your sales and this is where order automation comes in now of course you can do it the manual method so you get a sale all right cool you go to your Autodesk account and you can just check out this screenshot right here or I'll actually show you what the real deal looks like so I'll just go to the order screen and here you can see your drop-shipping orders now one way to do it is simply going to your suppliers website you got the supplier links right here on their item ID it'll take you to that product page and all you have to do is check out on your suppliers website and ship it to your end customer you've got the buyers details also right here on Autodesk or you can just go to the selling channel if you're doing everything manually and process each and every order but once you make it to five orders per day 10 orders per day and so forth it's good news but if you haven't automated your business yet do it now because you do not want to spend all day processing orders you do not want to spend all day adding products and you do not want to spend all day on manual product research this is going to consume all of your time and you won't really be able to automate grow and scale and if you want to make it to the big numbers you're going to have to start implementing these strategies so again there's the manual way to do it just go to your suppliers website purchase the product ship it to your end customer or you can hook up with fulfilled by Autodesk or automatic orders automatic orders uses your buyer accounts and fulfilled by Autodesk uses Autodesk's buyer accounts but either way the orders are being processed as soon as they come in even while you're outside when you're not sitting in front of your computer while you're dreaming at night while you're traveling with your family or spending time with your loved ones everything is being automated for you in the background so as soon as an order comes in it'll get processed and sent out to your customer with automatic tracking number updates of course all of this information is being shared with you you can just click on automatic orders or fulfill by Autodesk and learn more about that all of the links of course are inside the cheat sheet but this is what it's going to look like you're going to get an order on your orders page and it's going to start off in pending status just like this one right here okay and from pending status if you have automatic orders it's going to get sent to auto-order automatically and then it'll be in the ordered status once it was ordered with the buy order ID from your supplier and once it's shipped it's going to switch to shipped status with the tracking number and with that shipping carrier once it's delivered it'll move over to delivered and that is pretty much all there is to it get order automation start
