 Welcome to my first video of 2023 and what better way to kick the year off than with five top products that you can get started with right away. When it comes to dropshipping, the easiest way, in my opinion, to get results as fast as possible is to start with those trending and in-demand products, those products that spike in popularity because of the time of year. So that's what I've done in this video. The five products you're gonna see today are trending at their peak popularity, making them perfect to get started with right away. To help you get started as quickly as possible, not only will I be showing you the products, we're gonna go one step further and I will be showing you where you can source these products from. Some ad creative examples for these products to help show you what a good creative looks like so you can use it as inspiration. I will also be covering the ideal retail prices for these products as well so you know exactly what to buy it for from the supplier, the ideal price to sell it for and then you'll know exactly what's left in the middle for your profit margins. And last but certainly not least, I will be covering the Facebook tags and options for these products. This is something I've been doing for a while now and tend to do every single month. So if you wanna join the channel and follow along and get five awesome products every single month that you can go out and test, then make sure you hit that subscribe button now. Thanks for tuning in guys. I hope you enjoyed this one and let's jump straight into it. Okay, so product number one, we have heated pain relief products. The specific example I'm showing you here is a knee relief option. Being based in the UK, I have more of a bias towards UK based products. It's really cold here at the moment. There's a cost of living crisis, energy prices are on the up. More and more people are turning their heating down, struggling to stay warm during these winter months and products like this are perfect to help people combat that, especially people that suffer with joint problems, arthritis, those sorts of things. Products like this are just ideal. You don't just have to focus on these though, of course, you can get products like this, which I'm gonna show you in a second, which will help with elbow pain, which will help with wrist pain, finger pain, hand pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, back pain. All those types of products, making this a great product, which lends itself towards a branded niche store. To show you a Facebook ad creative that I quite like myself, I'll put one on screen now so we can see. What's really important with a product like this is that you have real life people, ideally your ideal customer market. So it would be people of an older generation say, I'm actually talking about the product on camera and not necessarily different clips like this mashed together. In my opinion, there is no better creative than user-generated content. So as we saw here, this guy on screen here talking about the product, in my opinion, we need more of this, or we would open up the creative with this, because when you have somebody on screen talking, it naturally captures people's attention better than just some cheesy music and subtitles over the top of some random clips. If we take a look at some Google Trend Search information, the one I've got on screen now is knee pain. And what I didn't realize is that there are kind of subtle spikes in popularity. We can see as we kind of enter January, year on year, it gets more and more popular, making now a great time for products like this. But what we can also see is it's a pretty consistent thing that people are searching for every single year, like no matter what the month is, making this a great niche in these great products that will not only sell really well in the winter months, but they're also gonna sell through the summer months too, making them ideal if you do want that sustainable and long-term business. Let's take a look at the supplier that I found then. The one I decided to go for was called Healthing Store. It's a top brand, it's got 95% positive feedback and above average for everything else. We can see we can buy the products for £8.21. If it was me and my experience selling these type of kind of battery-powered products, definitely go for one that's rechargeable and definitely go for one that's portable, that way no matter where somebody is or what they want to do, this product will help solve that solution. It's not just something which they have to plug in, it's something that they could use when they're out and about. It's something they could strap around their legs or strap around their elbows, their shoulders and go for a walk with, which would be perfect because then, no matter who you are or what you're doing, this product is gonna offer that solution and that pain relief. Another reason why this is such a great product as well, which I haven't mentioned either and I've not put in my notes, just a quick word on the notes actually. If you want links to different creatives to the Google Trends information to the supplier and the presentation essentially, which I'm gonna be working through in this video, then what I'll do once we hit, let's go for 23 likes with it being 2023. Once we hit 23 likes on the video, I'll put it in the pinned comment at the top, it'll be 100% free so everybody can get access to this. So just going back to what I was gonna say, another reason why this is such a good product, from past experience in the last six years, consistently the best buyers for me have always been females over the age of sort of 40, 50 plus. As people kind of reach those ages and those year ranges, then that tends to be when people suffer with things like joint pain and things like that, making this a perfect product for that typical Facebook audience, which are used to buying products from Facebook ads. Anyway, let's jump into the profit margins. We just saw we can buy this product for eight pounds 21. My recommended retail price would be 29.99. You could offer by two for say 50 pounds, saving the consumer 10 pounds. I definitely think this is a sort of product, especially if it's portable and people want to wear it whilst they're on walks, so they're gonna buy two of them. Even at this reasonable price, it leaves a pretty healthy profit margin of 21 pounds and 78 pence per sale per unit. As for my recommended Facebook target interests, it's pretty endless for products like this, to be honest. Obviously we're gonna be targeting people of those retirement ages. Unfortunately, you can't just target pensioners and be that specific. However, there are certain ways around it. So obviously you do have your age ranges, so you can just put that to 50 plus. However, you would need to test that just to kind of confirm that is your ideal range. But we can work around this with our interests that we target too. So things like retirement age, retirement planning, both things that you can target. I would also target people who play golf, people who pay tennis. I know people in my family of a certain age that once they do get to that age, they struggle with their elbows, they struggle with their knees, which puts them off playing. It means they can't play in. So if you can offer a product which helps solve that solution and helps people get back on the tennis court or get back walking and hiking, which I've put down there, then I think you're gonna be onto a winner because you have a product which has a very high perceived value because it helps solve a very high value pain point. Moving on to product number two though, but before we do, I just wanna take 30 seconds to mention I have a free training to help you get your business started in 21 days. It will walk you through the necessary steps to go from scratch, show you how to find products, build your store, then sell those products in the next 21 days. It's 100% free. It's the top comment in the description down below. It's about one to two hours long because of course there is a lot to cover when you're talking about building a new business. So make sure when you've got the time, you sign up, bring a notepad and pen along so you can make loads of notes. And if you do watch the training, I'll also give you my free PDF, free e-book for everybody who watches it, which covers 194 profitable product ideas for 2023. Moving on to product number two, then we have leggings. Leggings go without saying. I shouldn't have to say anything or show you any reason why these are such good sellers this time of year because the number one New Year's resolution year on year is for people to get fit. Not only is it a good New Year's resolution or a popular New Year's resolution, it is generally so it is frigging freezing everywhere you go. Not only is it frigging freezing, we have a cost of living crisis. People are struggling to heat their homes like they did even last year, two years, three years ago. People are looking for cheaper ways to stay warm. That's why I have coupled leggings which is super, super popular and trending and in demand on its own. And I've coupled that with these fleece-lined leggings to help people stay warm. Just in case you don't believe me for whatever reason, let's take a look at Google Trends information then. So we have leggings, 2004 to present. This is UK and we can see here we're pretty much at this peak popularity as we have been since 2004. So in the last 18 years, leggings are more popular now than they ever have been. If we look year on year, it continues to grow in popularity. You can kind of ignore 2021 because that was when people were staying at home and people wanted loungewear which includes leggings of course. Let's take a look at the Facebook ad creative then. This is one that I've hand selected because I quite like the content in this one. It does a really good job of kind of showing off exactly what the product is and what it does. And to be honest, in those first 10 seconds which we've just watched, that's pretty much all you need to see. Everything from this point onwards would be kind of optional. In terms of the things that I'm not too keen on, showing a Chinese model here, people tend to shy away. They don't necessarily like to buy or at least from my own experience, I've noticed that when you show Chinese models, demonstrating products, people have a negative connotation towards it. So if possible, film some content yourself or hire some influencers or actors to do the filming. Something as well, which I've started doing myself and a lot of my creatives is including testimonials in them because not only do you want somebody on camera showing how good they are with the different features and kind of like bigging the product up, you wanna kind of litter the actual creative itself with testimonials and just kind of reinforce and reiterate so that when people watch that creative, there's no doubt about it. You're a legitimate company and people will feel safe and they will trust you to buy your products because that is the number one obstacle. I've talked about, I've spoken about it in videos time and time again. The number one obstacle you have to get over as a business, advertising on Facebook, it's a shame to say it but there's been so many scammers out there creating dropshipping businesses because it is such an easy business to get started with that people have their guard up. Straight away, people are gonna distrust you so you need to kind of punch through those barriers or knock those barriers down to make them feel at ease and make them feel safe shopping with you. Anyway, before I go off on too much of a tangent, let's stay on track. So we've seen that it's in trend. We've seen a really good Facebook ad creative minus a couple of little things. Let's take a look at the supplier in Aliexpress. So this is called the Trend Store. To be honest, it was the first supplier I found. There's lots and lots of different suppliers of this product. So just find one that suits you and your business, what country you wanna ship to, how affordable, so on and so forth. There's not a lot more to say about this product, to be honest, other than it costs £7.26. Comes with free on-time guarantee within 15 days. Let's plug this into our margin calculator. Then we can see £7.26 delivered to the customer, which isn't too bad at all. My recommended retail price would be £30. However, this is probably on the low end, to be honest. You could probably sell this for £40. Certainly when you're buying branded Adidas or Nike leggings, some of them can be like £50, £60, £70, really expensive. So I would start at £30, see what kind of reaction you get and then perhaps start to bump that price up week by week and just obviously keep an eye on that conversion rate. As for Facebook targeting, Facebook interests, there's lots and lots of different ones. These are the first ones that kind of came to my mind. You might be able to think of some better ones. However, gym and fitness, which is an obvious one. Even I started back in the gym on the second and even I've noticed that getting on equipment now is so frustrating because it's so busy that I started going earlier and earlier to try and beat the rush. Gyms are just ransacked with people who want to get fit and want to get healthy. And to do that, they also want to treat themselves to some new leggings. So definitely target gym and fitness related interests. Walking and hiking of course, people are out in the cold. This includes dog walking and of course, it includes commuting. So what you could do is perhaps target and split test city by city and see if that affects your conversion rate one way or another. Moving on to product number three. And I fear I may have spoken about this products before. However, it deserves as many mentions as possible because it needs to be drilled into this winter. People are going crazy for this product. I'm going to speak about this product in a video on Friday and just show you how crazy people are going for this. And again, it's just perfect, perfect, perfect for the Facebook target audiences. So basically what it is, is it's a waterproof dog jacket with a harness built into it. So an owner doesn't tell you what, let's have a look at a video. So rather than try and explain it to you really badly because I'm bad at explaining things, I'll just show you a video which clearly demonstrates the features and benefits of this product. It's waterproof rather than somebody having to bring a jacket with them and bring a harness with them and then kind of wrestle with their dog to get it on. As we can see, super easy, super quick, super effective. And it does the job of keeping their dog nice and warm and nice and dry too, which not only has kind of like a health connotation so your dog doesn't get too cold but it saves on cleaning up too. If all the mess and all the water goes into the harness it's not then going to go onto somebody's boots or somebody's car seat or somebody's sofa carpets so on and so forth. So all in all, a really solid product. Let's take a look on AliExpress then, some pretty generic kind of stock footage that you might be able to kind of clip into your ad creative at some point if you wanted to. However, in my opinion, well no. In fact, it's a definite you need to get real dogs, real people showing how to use these products like in the ad creative that we've just watched. This is the sort of content that you must have if you're going to sell this successfully because people naturally, their attention is drawn to cute animals, especially if they own an animal themselves. So this is a top brand, 96.7 which is pretty good, CWDM store. They've been in business since 2019 which is also good that's rare for AliExpress suppliers. They usually pop up and close down within six months and above average 4.8 which is actually rare to see as well. So these are actually a pretty decent supplier. We can buy these products for 472 and again this one comes with 15 day on time guarantee but we have to pay £1.31 in this instance for shipping. Before we jump into the profit margins though, however, let's take a look at this screenshot taken from Google Trends. We can see that the term dog coat in December 2022 was at a 98. This just goes to show this product is super high in demand, super popular right now. And just in case you might be thinking that dog niche is really saturated, nobody can make money in it anymore. It's complete rubbish in my opinion. Every single year in the UK alone, thousands if not tens or hundreds of thousands of dogs are adopted. It's a very evergreen niche. More and more people, more and more customers coming into the niche that require and need to buy products like this. So we saw we could buy the product for £5, 11 pence. My recommended retail price would be 24.99. However, I think you'd probably get away with a little bit more. I like to do it on worse case scenarios just so you've got the best chance of knowing whether it's gonna work for you or not. This leaves a profit margin of £19 and 88 pence. As for Facebook interests, Facebook tags in interests, they're pretty endless to be honest. It's such a huge niche. However, these are some of my favorites that I've had the best results with myself. All in all, or what I'm trying to say, I guess, is that they basically all have a dog owner related connection. So dog walking, people who don't own dogs don't go dog walking. Small dog breeds, this is definitely a product that people are gonna be buying for their little cute handbag dogs. Somebody who owns a Great Dane or German Shepherd, they're not gonna be wrestling with that thing to put a jacket on it because they won't get cold during the winter. It tends to be the smaller dogs that people like to dress up. And part of the reason people buy this is because it has that kind of cute connotation to it and people wanna dress their dog up basically. Also dog food, dog toys, dog behavior, dog grooming. Again, all of these have that kind of dog owner related connection. Next up, product number four is this Hat Cross Snood combo. This is a really cool product. So I've never seen these products before. Here in the UK, it's frigging freezing, making this a perfect product for right now. With a lot of products like this, they tend to be quite ugly. However, we can see this has quite like a, it's quite cute looking. It's a nice looking product. It does a really good job of kind of combining a woolly hat and a snood into one. It's genuinely gonna help keep somebody warm without making them look like a criminal. That's always the thing with things like this is they can sometimes look like balaclavas. However, given the kind of knitted look effect and of course the color of it because nobody's gonna be robbing a house in a pink balaclava, then it's just a really nice product in my opinion. What I also love about this product is you don't really need a video because from a simple picture, from a simple image ad just like this, you can see exactly what it is and what it does. This is reiterated in this ad creative too. So we can see the 6.4,000 reactions, 5,000 comments and 1,500 shares. So it goes without saying this is a proven product. It's a successful product and it's a product that's selling right now. Another great thing about this product is it's super small, super compact, and it's super cheap. So this particular supplier, again, there was a couple. So find one that suits your business that might be better than Trendy Collection Store. £2.62 all in and that includes free shipping with a 15 day on time guarantee. There's also tons and tons of different color combinations meaning that you'll be able to serve everybody by offering different colors. If we have a look for the search term of woolly hats, we can see that it's at a 100 score for December 2022 meaning that more people are searching for woolly hats now than they ever have done in the last 18 years. So we saw we could buy the product for £2.62, super cheap. My recommended retail price will be £25. I think that's very reasonable because if you wanted to buy a snood, you're probably looking at 10, 15 pounds and then probably the same again for a woolly hat. So there is a slight cost saving there for the consumer, even at this kind of conservative price, I would say this leaves a pretty decent profit margin of 22.37. As for my recommended Facebook tag to then, it's pretty much anybody who goes outside. So these are all different ad sets which you could split test, see where your audience, see where your customers come from and then just obviously focus on the most profitable ones. So this could be cyclists, so go for cycling related interests, people who commute and work in cities, if they're walking through London, New York or wherever it may be and it's flipping freezing and windy, or products like this is really gonna help keep them warm. And of course I can mention some of the previously mentioned interests related to winter, which is of course walking and hiking related ones and of course dog walking. This is a brilliant product for anybody who walks their dog in the cold like me. However, I probably wouldn't go for a pink one. Moving on to the fifth and final product, I've definitely saved the best one to last in my opinion. This is a proven seven figure product that sells every single winter, but it also sells throughout the summer months too. It's just more popular during the winter for obvious reasons. It is a dog robe. Essentially what this is, it's like a microfiber dressing gown but for your dog. So after you've walked your dog in the winter months, in the summer months, usually whenever your dog gets wet or covered in mud, put this robe on them and within half an hour an hour they're dry and then you can take it off and let them come into your house or jump on your sofa, whatever you want to do. Basically it just keeps the mess to a minimum. Let's take a look at the supplier on AliExpress. I'm not gonna show you any Facebook ad creators because this content here from the supplier does everything that you would need it to. The only way you could improve on this is by including some testimonials and perhaps including some other dogs wearing the robe like they've done here. The more dogs you can get modeling this, fashioning this, if that's even a word, the more social proof you can get and gather behind this, that's really gonna help bump up your conversion rate. So as we can see, any kind of long-haired, large dog is perfect for, it goes round their neck and you can fold it down like you're getting a haircut at a barber's and it has this really nice pouch which folds underneath their stomach, does a really nice job of kind of getting in those areas which typically hold the mud and the water all in all just a fantastic product. So what we can see from this supplier, they're not a great supplier to be honest. It's a top brand, however, below average. Definitely do your research, perhaps contact some agents or somebody like CJ to see if they can get this for you. However, even with these guys, this is a pretty relevant or competitive price with the other suppliers they found on AliExpress. We can get it delivered for £8.53. At £8.53, I would recommend a retail price of £30, leaving a pretty healthy profit margin of 21.46. The beauty of the dog niche is there's so many other little kind of trinkets or gadgets or genuinely useful products like this which you can upsell on top of it to really help bump up those average order values. My recommended Facebook tags in, again similar to the previous dog products I found, all of these interests are gonna be connected some way to a dog owner. My starting place would definitely be long hair, dog breeds, typically large dog breeds. These are gonna be the dogs which typically carry the most water, carry the most mud and cause the most nuisance in somebody's household. And therefore those dog owners are definitely gonna have more of a requirement from products like this than a small beagle or something like that. After that, the same interests can be split tested, dog walking, dog grooming, dog toys, and dog park, I believe it is an interest you can target too. And so with that being said guys, that is my top five products for January 2023. We're gonna make sure I get that one right. Before I sign off then, I mentioned it earlier on in the video.
