 What is going on guys and welcome to a new video? So I know it's been about a week then since my last one Probably even longer actually, but it's just been mega mega busy recently the week after Chinese new year Then is always a pretty crazy one to be honest. I've just been wrapped up Pretty much just sort of things out But now then things seem to have calmed down a little bit so we'll be back to uploading videos every single day and Couple of weeks ago, then we got past three thousand subs and I promise we would do some sort of giveaway in a Q&A So true to my word then that is what today's video is going to be about So I've got some questions to go through then from Instagram Whenever I tend to ask or feedback or ask for questions or speak to you guys I tend to do it through Instagram just because I get like a better response through there So I do use the YouTube community tab, which you've probably seen and but I tend to get a better response from Instagram so if you do want to talk to me and Be part of these Q&A's and things like that Make sure you go and follow me on Instagram So before we get to the questions then first things first probably the reason you're watching this video in fact is for the giveaways So what I'm gonna do then again, I put a poll out on Instagram asking for people to vote on what they wanted And they voted for one-to-one calls. I'll put a screenshot somewhere on the screen So that's what I'm gonna be doing So the way they're gonna work then it's gonna be dead easy All you've got to do is leave a comment in the comment section down below It can be any comment you want it can be feedback on the video an idea for a video idea It can be a question you want to ask me whatever it is and to start with then I'm gonna be giving away one call in per video one ten minute call per video So if I do seven videos a week, that's gonna be seven ten minute calls that I'm gonna be giving away And I will announce the winner in every single video But I'm gonna do it at the end of the video then just so I can get into the content as soon as possible And then if you want to stay for the giveaway It will be at the end of the video and I'm gonna just do it through like it's called like a YouTube random comment selector So every winner then will be picked at random So that being said then that is the giveaways there will be one given away on this video So if you do want to enter make sure you leave a comment down below And that being said then let's get into the Q&A. What is going on there guys? So I've got my phone up here and we'll put the questions on the screen as well So you can see what I'm reading from and as you can see I've got probably maybe 10 or so And I'm just gonna start from kind of like the top left and just work my way through So first of all big thanks to everyone who did send through a question I really do appreciate it and like I said if you want to be part of these Q&A things like that the live streams Then it makes me follow me on Instagram. I'll put a link Not a link like just like what my name is somewhere on the screen now So number one then how did you learn about Facebook ads? So if anybody doesn't know then I've been doing dropshipping and Facebook ads social media marketing pretty much since July I think it was kind of like June July 2016 So a little bit over two years now and the way I learned was pretty much just from watching YouTube videos I didn't take a single course. I didn't pay for any knowledge what I learned I learned for free and I watched pretty much just two people then to learn about dropshipping and number one was Adrian Morrison, so he was who First introduced me to dropshipping and then I pretty much learned what I know then about Facebook ads watching a guy called Dan De Silva He's one of the OGs. He's been on YouTube a long before I have Teaching Facebook ads Instagram pretty much just anything e-com and social media marketing wise So that's how I learned then just watching that guy on YouTube Question number two. What are some of the best interests for dog products and dog toys? So If you've watched any of my past videos, then you'll know that I am in the dog niche I do sell quite a few different products and within the dog niche and I find then that the best interests are ones that are Relatable to people who own dogs. So things like dog walking pages dog magazines When it comes now, there's kind of like some general rules you can follow for pretty much any niche And it's just the think of interests the People are already spending money within so for example, they're magazines Nobody's gonna be paying for a dog magazine unless they're interested in getting a dog or they own a dog And therefore people within that interest are gonna be interested in your products because they have a dog You will sell a dog product as long as it's a good product and the chances are they'll be interested in it So some general kind of rules to follow or kind of like the way of thinking then with regardless of what niche you're in It's trying to think of the interests that people are already spending money within Number three then please review my store coolspring.com. So I get about 20 requests every single day people asking me to review their store So I will have a look at your store. I'll send you just a couple of quick points To work on so I'll get back to that one later Toby GM One product store to Facebook ad sets with break even row ass. Do you change them to lifetime budget or duplicate? So very very rarely then will I actually duplicate an ad set if an ad set is performing? Well, then I usually just make the changes within that ad set the more I have the opinion that the more kind of Money you can put through an ad set then the better because then the more it can learn the more data That goes through it and more efficiently it can perform So I'm a big fan of lifetime budgets Then I haven't done any videos on it actually so maybe a topic for the future And when I'm scaling an ad set then I will always move them to a lifetime budget Moving on so what made you start drop shipping much love from New York keep killing our new tube So thank you very much. That's crazy thing as somebody in New York is watching So what made me start drop shipping? I guess I just saw I've done videos on it. So I'm not going to too much detail But it's basically just watching Tai Lopez on YouTube And he did a couple of videos with a guy called Adrian Morrison who I just mentioned and The idea of being able to start a business using nothing but a laptop very little money up front And the skills required to do well at it as well Facebook marketing is a huge. It's a very very valuable skill If you can become good at marketing on Facebook You can walk into pretty much any business in the world and get a job as long as you can prove that you're Going to bring in more money than what they're going to pay you then everybody will want you to work for them because at the end of The day you're going to be making the money. So that was kind of what? Attracted me to it so much was the fact that was really easy to start It was really easy to run you could run it from anywhere in the world and the skills involved Then were really valuable skills at the time and they still are now and they still will be as long as Facebook exists Then Facebook marketing is going to be one of the most powerful marketing platforms in the world So moving on to the next question then what is your long-term goal in this drop shipping business? So this is a really good question and actually the first time I've ever been asked for it so many people are Kind of like worked up in achieving the short term things that they forget about the bigger picture If you're planning on starting a drop shipping business to replace your current income Then you're going to be drop shipping in probably five ten maybe even 20 years time So if you're not making money in the very first month, then don't worry about it think of the long-term goals so when it comes to drop shipping then or e-com in general then My long-term goals like ever since I started I've had this vision of having like a huge huge warehouse just full of racks and racks of different stock and pretty much running every single store from that one warehouse people walking around with With the pump trucks or forklifts picking and packing products and just basically all of my stores running from one warehouse Loads and loads of stock any winning products will be bought in in bulk The companies will still drop ship, but I tend to use drop shipping now as like a way of testing products And if it proves more valuable Financially and time-wise then to source it in bulk and ship it then that's what I tend to do So that's kind of what my vision has always been to have this massive massive warehouse just full of loads tons and tons of stock and Just have people just a really busy warehouse people running around picking and packing products and just shipping products out from this massive warehouse So that's kind of like my long-term long-term goal in e-com Are you in a niche or one product store? So I don't actually have any one product stores I'm going to do a video on this topic soon just because it's such a huge topic at the moment I'm not kind of sure where it's come from But a lot of people talk about it and it is a good method not saying it's bad method What so ever but me personally then I don't have any one product stores How do you target on Facebook? So there's just multiple ways I could probably write a book on how to do it. There's just so many different variables and stuff Just go and check out the videos on my YouTube channel. I've done multiple multiple videos then On different types in methods and strategies next question Then what is the most money you have made from one product and how long did you scale for? So in terms of how much money I made on one product I've never worked out Her products in fact, I always look at the numbers overall on a monthly basis Sometimes I'll look at things weekly if it's a new product I'll break it down weekly because I want to know When that immediate feedback on whether it's producing or not Whereas the kind of trial and tested products that I know are winning Then I kind of just let them run monthly and I don't break it down per product So in terms of how much money you made I couldn't give you exact figures But in my very first year then the dog collars alone led dog collars alone I did about 140k just on that one product. That's in sales as well profit-wise Again, I'm not sure because I don't do the profit per product I do it as a store overall and there were other products as well that I put through that store in that first year So in terms of scaling and how long do I scale a product for I don't really know how to answer this question because It's just always as long as possible until I can't squeeze any more money out of it Like the world is such a huge place that in terms of there being limitations then There's not really any limitations like going back to the LED dog collars There's just there's probably a hundred million people in the world that own dogs and In terms of like putting your add to every single person then it's gonna be very difficult to do It's gonna be very expensive to do so I guess I'm kind of blabbering now But in answer to your question then just as long as possible like there is no time limit I don't get to two months and then say I'm not gonna scale it anymore I'll just keep scaling until I can't make any more money from that product if that makes sense So whether that's at 500 pound a day and I can't get any more return from it Or whether it's a thousand pound a day and I can't get return. It doesn't really matter I'll just try and spend as much money as possible on a particular product and Still make the best profit margin as possible Next question then how do you identify when your product or if a product is worth testing? so I was speaking to someone recently about this topic actually and It just it's kind of like just like a gut feeling now because I've tried and tested so many different products I can pretty much look at a product straight away now and have a pretty good idea of whether it's gonna work or not so For all the beginners then especially out there my response would be just pick Like half a dozen products and just spend five dollars on every single one and look at the results because the results Going to be different for every single product and the ones that perform the best then look at the products Why did that one perform best and just the more you do it then the easier you're going to find it to spot those winning products So in terms of identifying them then there are a few things you can look for so you can look for Where that other people have success selling them you can look at the order numbers on Ali express you can use certain websites like Thief or Ecom hunt that gonna identify different products and essentially what I look for is I When I look at a product the first thing I think then is is this a sociable product? So is this the kind of product that people see on Facebook and would they share it and tag someone because Facebook is a Social platform so you want to sell social products you want to sell products that people want to share and comment on because that's going to be the easiest way to get your product going viral and Ultimately then increase your organic reach which will ultimately reduce your cost for purchase And then even if a product is worth testing so kind of I've kind of discussed that already so How do you gauge whether it's worth testing? Again those points have really just spoken about it just comes down to looking at a product and a bit of common sense Really just look at a product and think will people like this is it just a cheap plastic piece of piece of rubbish? Or is it like genuinely going to make somebody's life better? Moving on then to the last couple so how do you send with different shipping methods to different countries with the same store? So that's simple to do then and especially for drop shipping just set up the different shipping settings within your Shopify backend You can literally lay out country by country and what I tend to do is group kind of like the major country So I'll have Europe as one set shipping rate. I'll have the UK and then I'll have America and Canada and Australia as well and Then last but not least is from Martin Shout out to Martin. He's been a big follower and support of the channel for quite a while now speak to him quite Lot so thank you mate. How has drop shipping changed your life? So so it gets the best way to answer this question then is to talk about the four pillars So if you watched high Lopez then he'll talk about health wealth love and happiness and how they're kind of like the four key ingredients to So essentially live in a good life. So health wise then my health is definitely improved since I've started doing drop shipping full-time Partly because I have more freedom to do what I want whenever I want so I can go to the gym at any time I don't have to train at peak times in the morning or after work when everybody else is there So I can have a better workout essentially plus I can Choose what I eat a lot more easier because I'm working from home Then I can just go and cook a proper meal whenever I want to I don't have to bring some packed lunch to work And I don't have I'm not rushing around because I'm not committing 10 hours a day to work on a job So I don't get takeaways as often. So in terms of my health then it's just dramatically improved Well, then again the same similar story with a nine to five job You're limited to what your boss or what the business owner wants to pay you whereas with drop shipping There is no limitations if you make 10 pound one month Then that's because of you if you make 10 grand one month And that's because of you if you make a hundred grand one month And that's because of you and with drop shipping then it really can be that crazy. It's just it's just absolutely crazy How fast you can scale it? And so you really are just in command of how much you work so in terms of wealth then Then I'm a lot better off now to health wealth love so This is kind of like a difficult one. I don't go into too much detail because I'm a big believer in privacy, but Me when I first started the business then if you've seen my previous videos You'll know that there was some tough times and that put a lot of strains on my relationship with my girlfriend Thankfully, we're still together now. So it didn't do any permanent damage I don't think but it can when things are going tough, especially the worries of bills and Just anything financial pretty much it can be like a difficult thing to deal with but It's kind of like a rollercoaster. It's gonna be good times It's gonna be bad times at the moment things are really good and hopefully they will stay good as well And then happiness, I would say I'm a lot happier person just because purely I Love working for myself. I've never ever ever enjoyed working for somebody else This is something I've always wanted to be able to do so in terms of just being happier in general Then I would say I am so yeah They're kind of like four things kind of like the four main things how drop shipping has changed your life So I guess like the main couple of things then is number one I've been able to live life on my own terms and number two then I've never gone to bed or Woken up in the morning then I've been dreading going to work I try to think of different excuses and reasons to call in work and say why I'm not gonna be there So if that does kind of like sound like something that you want in your life Then drop shipping is definitely the way to go people ask me all the time should I do drop shipping Amazon FBA a social media agency and They're all good business models and you can make money and pretty much everything Ultimately it comes down to the kind of lifestyle you want to live So what I've just said if that is the kind of lifestyle you want to live then keep doing what you're doing keep learning Keep putting into action what you're learning and you will get there in the end So that be sitting guys that's gonna wrap up the video I've been talking for way too long now if you're still watching thank you very much everybody who sent your questions in Thanks again.
