 What's going on guys? So in this video, I want to share with you a Shopify store that's currently for sale on Flipper.com. The asking price is quite hefty. It's $370,000 and this is for a drop shipping business that is currently making in the region of $15,000 profit that is profit each month. This is a store which is currently drop shipping from China. They have a Chinese supplier. They are using Shopify as the host of their website and they are using predominantly TikTok ads to generate those sales and generate those profits. So in relative terms, it's a fairly simple setup and business model, making it ideal for the beginner. If you're looking for something that's relatively simple and straightforward, this is a great business to learn from. I don't want to say easy because when it comes to business then nothing is easy. However, this is pretty much as simple as it gets as straightforward and easy as it gets which is a drop shipping business from China using Shopify and social media advertising. So let's jump straight into it then. This is the listing on Flipper.com. If you want to sign up to Flipper.com, it's 100% free and you do get a lot more information. If you have a user account, it's like a three to four minute onboarding process where you have to answer some questions but just go through that because in my opinion it's worth it. You get to see what's out there, what's currently working and it's a great way to do product research. If you find a Shopify store that's currently for sale and has proven revenues like this one and you can find out exactly what their best selling products are which is exactly what I'm going to show you what to do and how to do in this video, then it's a great way of finding those proven tested products so you know that you're onto a winner. So if you're our beginner watching this video and you do want to use these guys and replicate these guys, then I'm going to be showing you everything, breaking down everything. So we'll take a look at their Shopify store which you can use as design inspiration. We'll take a look at exactly what their best selling products are and of course we will take a look at what their ad creators are too. So essentially you'll have all of the inner workings, all of the inner makeup of what this successful business is doing and what it looks like. So we'll jump back into Flipper then. We can see the monthly profit is about 15,000 US dollars. The site age is one year so that's pretty decent to say he's been in business for about a year and the profit margin is 30%. 30% being completely honest and upfront is probably towards the higher end when it comes to drop shipping businesses. Typically I can get somewhere in and around sort of 15% and 20%. Now if you're thinking that's terrible or not going to do drop shipping, drop shipping in my opinion is just a means to an end. It's a way to validate and test a product. If you want to build something legitimate, not necessarily just much drop shipping is legitimate. I should say if you want to build something sustainable for the long term, then once you've validated it through drop shipping, then you should look to then private label and source that product in higher quantities of my opinion. And that's how you build a true brand and a business which is going to be even more profitable and sustainable in the long run. So this is the best selling product. We can see if you're not familiar with what these are, they're basically healing crystals. There's many different variations and variants. I have gone ahead and found a supplier which sells these exact ones. It's the sort of thing which is becoming ever more and more popular. So definitely a great niche to be getting involved with especially this time of year. So this is reflected in its revenues. If we take a look month on month, we can see that kind of Q4 in 2021 was some great months for him and just went from strength to strength. In October doing 33,000, nearly double that in November and then nearly double that in fact, double that in December. This is a time where people are spending money on these sorts of products. This is information given from the seller himself then. So he says that he found crystals are one of the absolute best niches to be in. He's been building brands for the past four years now. So he has some decent experience. It's just one of those product categories that's amazing for level of value and satisfaction. It delivers to the customers and the physical simplicity of the products themselves. I couldn't agree more to be honest, given what the product is, like the actual size of it, the weight of it, the ease of shipping and again that level of satisfaction that it gives to customers then definitely one of the easier niches to get started in. As for operations then he has a supplier in China which is very reliable. He doesn't say AliExpress. So given the level of success with this business, I would say they're probably using an agent rather than AliExpress because they can be unreliable, especially when you start scaling things up. They can see the orders placed on the store and fulfill them from the source. So they might be using someone like BS Dropshipping who has access to a Shopify store backend which means they can just go in there as and when as they please fulfill the orders for him and they probably send them an invoice at the end of each day or each week which he simply has to pay. His team consists of two VAs, so they're virtual assistants. Typically these will be people working in different countries in lower income countries. One does billing and inventory management and the other does customer support. Customer support being the big one. It's probably one of the most time consuming tasks or operations in a drop shipping business because of delivery times, the most common email you will of course get will be people asking where the orders are. So that's why it's really important if you are working on tight time schedules or if you have a tight timetable because you're working a job or you have a family, whatever that may be, then I'd definitely recommend outsourcing customer support as soon as possible. His time is spent managing ads and coordinating the team. So his setup is very similar to mine. In fact, that he takes responsibility of the ads one to two hours a day, which is about right. So not bad for a business given the return that has given him to spend one to two hours a day manager in the entire thing. That being said, let's jump into the store now. I don't want to bore you too much by going through all the information which you guys can find out if you want to. You can hand over to flipper.com and see all the same things I'm going to show you in this video. Let's take a look at the Shopify store and their design. Straight away it looks like a Debutify, a Debutify template. So we'll just confirm this with our Koala inspector. It is indeed. So there is no need to spend a significant amount on a Shopify theme regardless of what people tell you. Free ones will do the job, especially one of the beauties and one of the reasons why Shopify is just the best platform in my opinion is partly down to the App Store. The third-party apps you can install onto your store just make it so much more user-friendly and adaptable versus any others. So at the top they have a very typical setup like you would see in most Shopify stores. It's not a lot more to say there to be honest. Got some nice photos here featuring this person here whether she's part of the business or just a previous customer or influencer, whatever it may be, it's always nice to have human beings on your Shopify store to show that there's real people behind the brand and you have real customers. You may have heard me speak about it in previous videos. The number one thing you have to overcome as a new business is trust. And a great way to do that is to feature pictures of your customers. That's why review apps like Lux, A-Reviews, that sort of thing are definitely a necessity in my opinion. They have this complimentary gift box with every order. I've checked into this. It's basically just a sticker on a box. This is something any half-decent agent will be able to take care of for you for a matter of pennies. It's also a fantastic way, a brilliant way of separating yourself from any competition and again overcoming that hurdle of trust. If you have a product that's branded straight away, you look more legitimate versus any other business that's just selling a generic unbranded product. So definitely something to consider if you can do that with the products that you're selling. They have some scrolling testimonials neither here nor there. To be honest, the home pages aren't that important or at least from my own experience, it rarely makes a difference. Most people are going straight to the actual product page and hitting the add to cart burn there and then. So let's do that. In fact, let's check out the product page and let's go for, I'm gonna go for this one here because it's the most interesting in my opinion. I don't know a lot about these healing crystals. However, I do know that they're big business. Layout wise then a very simple layout, very traditional. There's no dynamic checkout button in fact, which is interesting to see. It's a common feature and something I recommend the people that I work with. As for the actual description, we can see again just a typical layout, couple of different headings, keywords highlighted in bold, a gift showing the actual product itself. Wooded products like this is not really a lot can be shown or demonstrated in a video. So a simple gift like this pretty much says everything there is to say about it. Other than what they actually go on to say here and actually describe the different benefits, but it's all backed up with trustworthy claims or things that generate trust with their customers. So they're quoting different doctors. They're putting different testimonials here from customers and things like that. Key words within the niche that people who are also interested in the niche will resonate with. You may hear other kind of big influencers talking about using the same language as other people because different niches, different industries have their own languages. And by using words like that, you help people feel comfortable. You come across as professional because you know what you're talking about. And all this is gonna lead to a professional opinion of your business, which is gonna help people feel more comfortable and trusting of you. They finished the product page off with this little handmade and not sold in stores. Tap the buy now button to get yours. So it's kind of like a call to action to get people to buy it. Whether it makes a difference or not, I'm not sure. I've never seen this strategy myself or might test it and see if it works for me. And then they actually go into different picture reviews of people who have bought the product. And again, this is brilliant just for building social proof. It's just typical and kind of almost like textbook example of what you should be doing for your own stores. Let's take a look at the Google Trends information for healing crystals then. We can see that I'm not sure what happened here. Again, I don't have much experience in this niche but we can see from sort of 2009 it's been a slow and gradual increase in popularity. Everything went skew with in and around sort of COVID times. And then we can see it's now kind of returned to where it was pre COVID. So if I had to guess, this would continue to increase in popularity. Neshes like this are definitely not to be avoided. If anything, it shows a strong consistent demand for the product throughout the year. So there's going to be a strong and consistent demand or influx of customers, I should say. If we go worldwide, we can see the demand is stronger. There's more people which is obvious really because the world is bigger than the UK. Probably should cut out the video but the great thing about Google Trends then is it shows you where that interest is by region where the most popular countries are searching for this particular thing. And we can see it's actually Australia and UK. So if you were to get behind this and try and replicate it and make some money in this same space, then if it was me, there'd be my go-to countries. The countries I'd be focusing on. As for the supply of this product then we saw, if I remember correctly, just double check this. They're selling it for 34 pounds reduced down from 100 which is crazy. And I found a supplier here which has, as you can see, lots of different variants. Exactly the same as what these guys are selling and you can get it delivered. So this is free shipping too with 15 day on time guarantee. So you could definitely roll with these guys to begin with. And like I said, as soon as you establish some sort of traction and you've validated you can make it work, then start to look at agents and getting it private labeled. Even if it's just a sticker on the box, it's gonna help separate you from anybody else. So four pounds all in pretty much. They're selling it for 34 pounds all in pretty much which leaves a very healthy profit margin of 30 pounds per sale. For the advertising creatives they're using then, they have a few different ones. However, I'm gonna show you the top one. So I'm gonna play this for you now. I'm probably gonna get demonetized. I'll have a strike against my channel because of the music that's being used in this. So if you are interested, definitely head over and check out the ad. But what I'll do is I'll describe it to you. Basically all he's doing, where you can see what he's doing on the actual video, but what he's talking about is the different benefits and applications of the product. So we're saying that it used to really struggle with focus and doing work from home until we had some of these in his house, on his desk and that sort of thing. So there's definitely like a clear target of the type of person which they're aiming for with a product like this. This is another ad creative they're using. Again, another very simple creative. I'll show you the beginning. They basically ordered a few of these themselves at four pounds. It's not a big outlay. They've found somewhere in public with a nice backdrop. And again, this same person is making the same kind of illustrating the same pain point and then highlighting the solution to that. So she's describing how she struggled to take focus and she struggled to be focused and proactive throughout the day until she got some of these which has made her feel more calm. She gets better sleep. She's more productive. So on and so forth. But super simple, yet super effective content to film something like this yourself. Probably you can do it within an hour. Just to show you one last creative from these guys then. So we've covered all basis. I'm just gonna mute this just so the video doesn't get a strike against it. But as we saw here, we can see the sticker on top of the box. Super easy. Like I mentioned, it cost you pennies. A nice backdrop in the back of the video. And this one she's talking about motivation. She's saying she really struggled to be motivated throughout the day and get work done until she had one of these things which just helps us stay on track more focused and therefore more productive. So again, just a real simple video ad creative. As long as you're comfortable speaking on camera, they haven't put their face on camera. You could even get an influencer, somebody more comfortable to do this for a pretty cheap price. I would say for about a hundred pounds, you could get somebody to create something very, very similar to this. And so with that being said then guys, that covers everything pretty much behind this business. The inner workings. Everything has been uncovered in this video.
