Before we get to that, make sure to give this video a like and hit that subscribe button so you can learn the latest dropshipping strategies to grow your business. The first strategy we got is finding trending products on suppliers' websites. This research method is super simple. All you need to do is go over to suppliers' website, look through existing best sellers, and choose products from there. Take Amazon, for example. You have the option to go over to Amazon Best Sellers and view general trending products. And once you're there, you can dive even deeper into a ton of different subcategories. Quick tip, the most important thing to look out for when using this method is products with high ratings and good seller reputations. Another great supplier you can use to help you find products is AliExpress. All you need to do is register your account in the AliExpress Dropship Center, then choose Find Products to Sell. And there you can search for great products to add to your store. For example, if you search for coffee tables to sell in eBay, the AliExpress Dropship Center will show you all the top selling coffee tables that they offer. You can also find out its order history, sales performance, and overall rating, which are important metrics to look into. Quick tip, always look out for products with a high DS order rate. Even has a high drop shipping rate that usually means the product is trending and worth selling. Strategy two, use the AutoDS platform for product research. If you want to save yourself time, this is probably the fastest strategy you can use. AutoDS already has a built in product research feature that helps find trending products incredibly fast. Here are the steps on how you can use this feature. First, let's start by going to the AutoDS product research platform and signing up for an AutoDS account. Next, click on add filter. There you can filter products according to price, categories, ratings, and much more. From the drop down menu, choose rating and set it to 4.5 and up because we want those quality products for our store. Then choose amount of reviews and set it to over 100. Now you can scroll through the results and choose any of these trending products and guarantee yourself some great sales. Our third strategy is finding products by going to eBay's best selling items and choosing from the most trending categories. After you select a popular category, look at the same category on eBay's homepage and pick a subcategory. Then choose a listing that has a good selling history rate, meaning it's already sold a lot of times. Once we find a good product on eBay itself, we can actually just sell the same exact product or something similar. Strategy four, catch or create new trends. This method allows you to get a little creative by creating new trends ourselves or catching them early on. Here's what you need to do. Go to any suppliers website and look for new releases or latest products. Then choose a category and pick a newly released product. After that, come back to eBay and search for that same exact product. Filter the results by listed and sold and uncheck completed. Now you'll see the number of times that type of product has sold and the price range, which will give you a general idea if it's worth jumping into. If you find that this product is selling, but no one is selling the specific one you found on your supplier's website, it's definitely worth your time to test out that product and be the first one to list it. Quick tip, when you notice that a product you're testing is starting to sell, start adding even more similar products to your store so you can continue to scale that original success. All right, so those are four methods for product research. And if you implement those strategies, here are the types of winning products you'll probably come across. I'll start by breaking these products down into three main price categories. Low ticket items, mid range items and high ticket items. So one of the best ways to earn higher profits on eBay is to sell high ticket items. That means anything that's listed for $100 or more. To learn more, you could check out our video on the best high ticket niches, link will be in the description below. Best categories for high ticket dropshipping are one, furniture, things like dining room sets, bedroom sets, sofas and couches. Two, home appliances like vacuum cleaners, grills and air fryers. And three, electronics. So we're talking products like home theater equipment, projectors and drones. And here's a quick tip. Well, it might be tempting to jump right into high ticket dropshipping because of the potential for higher profits. As a beginner, it's better to start out with mid range to low ticket items. And that's mainly because low price items are easier to sell. And to start yourself off right, you'll want to build up that momentum. With that being said, let's move on to our next price range, medium ticket products. These are typically products that cost anywhere between $30 to $100. A few great examples of winning products within this range are computer desks, blenders and shower heads. Quick tip, there's a common theme to the products I just mentioned, which is that they're all evergreen products. Those are great to sell because evergreen products are always in demand. They're not seasonal, so you can never go wrong with them. Lastly, let's talk about low ticket products. These are typically the easiest products to sell on eBay because buyers usually don't need to overthink low ticket purchases. Products in this range that have been trending lately include categories like dog collars, pajama pants and flower pots. All of those can go for under $20, which means we can sell them very easily. All right, well, now that you have a few great strategies for product research and you have some winning products to work with, you're ready to get started. Let me know in the comments what you think of these strategies if they worked for you or if you'd like us to discuss more strategies in another video.
