 So in this video I want to show you a Shopify store that's made over a million dollars dropshipping from Aliexpress using Facebook and Google Ads. It's pretty in store, discovered it on the exchange marketplace so it's just having one of my research days where I like to take a look at stores which are doing things successfully and see what kind of things I can take from them and learn from them and implement into my own stores. This current store is still making and currently making over six figures every single month so if you are looking for a trial and tested proven product and niche to get into and jumpstart your business for Q4 then I highly recommend watching this video and taking some notes and seeing what sort of things you can implement from this business into your own. So the business in question is called Sage and Seal. I discovered them on the exchange marketplace. Just to take you over the key points then first of all let's focus on numbers so we can see the total revenue since April 2021 is $1.3 million. Their best month being in December 21 at over $200,000 and most recently in July 2022 they hit $105,000. Just to confirm these guys are indeed a dropshipping business so the owner and seller Justin is saying I created this plant enthusiast focused home deco business in April of 2021. Because he has spare time outside his 9-5 career so it just goes to show you can build a significant side income even while still working a 9-5 job but he wanted to test dropshipping on Shopify. He goes on to say that Sage and Seal still runs itself in a lot of ways it's well integrated with DS AliExpress dropshipping so again it's confirmed they are buying products from AliExpress that anybody can go to and buy those very same products but they are dropshipping them from those suppliers to their customers. He then goes on to say because he straps for time customer service and social media is being handled by US based agency for $200,000 so I would guess that these guys are focusing on a US market let's just check the price of the products they're selling in pounds however they could have a currency converter I'll check that in a second. Either way if these guys are focusing on a US business which I think they are because it says United States and the tags then it just goes to show if you're watching this in the UK which most of my viewers will be here is a tried and tested proven concept proven niche and product range that you can take and make the most of the UK market with. As for his daily responsibilities this will be a good breakdown if you've never run a dropshipping business before. Fulfill AliExpress orders one to two times daily through DSs I'm assuming it's because he gets over a hundred orders per day and that's the limit. Monitor his social media which is outsourced with an agency. Respond to customer support inquiries if you choose not to proceed with the agency this is something I would recommend everybody doing because they're so time consuming. Monitor returns and checkbacks and chargebacks excuse me and research new products and trends in the home and garden industry to be honest that doesn't really take much time because once you have an established relationship with certain suppliers they'll actually come to you and give you the new and latest products that they're working on and thinking of putting on the market and as we can see here the time to run the business is approximately 10 hours per week so that is the beauty of dropshipping. You can outsource or automate so much of the business you can create a considerable side income with not actually that much added time onto your already daily schedule. So this is their seven figure Shopify store we can see it's a custom theme we can see it's quite clean and modern looks fresh it looks good nothing incapable of achieving though with just a little bit of know how a little bit of technical knowledge and the right theme they have their different departments just to prove these products are easily sourceable in less than 60 seconds I was able to find both these products or a different variation of this product so I didn't go that deep into depth to find this specific one but we can see the very same planters which these guys are selling and we can see this very same propagation and vase set up as well which they're selling and you can see there's many different variations which will be seeing a spot in on their website in a second. So if you're looking for that one product to take from this video and consider building a store around and invest a bit of time and effort into then as we go through the store look for the kind of products that keeps cropping up again especially on your home page most Shopify stores will tend to advertise or put pictures of their best-selling products because they're their best-selling products essentially so the more people see them they already know that they like them they're more likely to buy them so these little human planters are propping up again and if we go down another emphasis and focus on phases and propagation we can see again these same styles in fact that's the exact same one which I just found on Aliexpress so what you could do and what I'm actually surprised that these guys haven't already done is if they've already done a million dollars in turnover 1.3 million dollars in turnover why haven't they private label this product which I'm not too sure about there must be a reason why they haven't done it it's definitely something I would look to do if I was them it's something I've done with a few different products myself it brings those profit margins up significantly and it allows you to offer a lot faster shipping to your customers as well just to point out some of the things that you might not necessarily notice if you're somebody who might struggle with store design they've gone for a very clean modern easy to read font you don't want it too small you don't mount too many accents on it like a Times New Roman which makes it difficult to read they've gone for just a plain white background and black font which I recommend everybody stick to unless you're a pro when it comes to design and you have experience we can see these sloth planters showing up again anything you can do to kind of combine two interests and two passions together so one of my best-selling products last summer was a solar light but it was in the shape of an owl so it allowed me to target two types of people and bring their passions together people who love gardening and ornaments and that sort of thing and then people who had a passion for ours as well let's take a look at one of their product pages then see what we can learn from that the sloth ceramic hanging succulent planter that was a mouthful this is cropped up on their home page a couple of times so it must be a good product for them I'm just going to scroll my screen across so I can get an idea of what their store looks like on a mobile view I'm yet to discover a Shopify store where their main customer or majority of customers isn't on a mobile device so this should always be your focus when it comes to store design we can see it's not like your stereotypical layout I like the use of these icons I like the use of having buttons and these different color swatches for the different variants rather than having drop-downs just makes it look so much more sleeker and easier to navigate and that more clearer and user-friendly for their customers they have an in-brand add to cart button which is good has the correct font which matches all the others as well as the colors too many people don't do this and it's just a nice little touch to be in keeping with the branding of the store they also have a bulk discount buy so buy two by three by four this is a really nice touch especially with the products like this this is the sort of thing people are going to buy more than one of I can't tell you enough how powerful these things are if you're selling the products which you might think somebody would buy two of or if you've already seen it people adding two to cart then by having that little offer of five percent off ten percent off it might make the difference between just tipping them over the edge to actually purchasing that second item as for the product description itself I mean it's very basic but it obviously does the job with things like that there's usually not too much to say about it because its purpose is to look good basically with some products that have more features and more benefits they do need more explanation through imagery or through extra text but for these purely kind of ascetic pieces then an image is going to better sell the products than any words can move down to the information which ends the product page they have information on their shipping which is kind of like a typical thing that you'll see on every store which is being successful so even though they state clearly in bold shipping typically takes two to four weeks they're still able to find success and generate over a million dollars so just goes to show for the right products people are willing to wait two to four weeks should they need to easy returns a little bit about them just to kind of add that personal touch give you a physical address just to show you are real business these guys are indeed based in America so if you're watching this in the UK and you need a niche and collection of products to go into that trial and tested and you know work and then definitely check out sage and sill they have some trust badges which if you ask me don't they're not really in keeping with the theme of the store so probably remove these as if my store then they have a review app it looks like one of the popular ones it could be looks it could be a reviews either or it does the job quite nicely shows that people in the past have purchased the product it's arrived I've been happy with it and left a good review after doing a quick Ali Express search was able to find the exact products we were just looking at ignore the prices this is for 20 euros and these guys were selling it for 31 pounds but this is to Greece because I was doing that's for a different project again it shipped to the UK or to the US you'll be able to get it a lot cheaper so it's definitely a viable product so like I said I mentioned earlier on if you are looking for a range of products or specific product to kind of dip your toes and take that leap into the job shipping world and I definitely recommend this store and so with that being said then guys that is sage and sill a proven multi-million dollar product I hope you learn a lot from the video more importantly I hope you take what you've learned and actually implement it into a store take action on it now is such a great time to get started in job shipping and e-commerce with Q4 around the corner if there's anything I can do to help make that process and that jump easier just leave a comment down below and I will answer it thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one
