So in this video, we're gonna be talking about the 10 dropshipping service providers that can help you optimize and scale your business.

I'm gonna give you a few different websites that are optimal to be able to start finding different service providers to be able to keep optimizing and growing your business. Now let's go ahead and run that intro. Let's get started. What's going on everyone, Mario here with Out of DS and welcome back to another video.

Now to go along with this video, I'm also gonna have an easy to reference cheat sheet that's gonna include everything that I talk about in this video, including all of the different links. Now, if you want access to that, all you have to do is go ahead and comment down below hashtag dropshipping services, along with your favorite service from this list. Once I see that you commented that, then I'm gonna go ahead and reply back with a link to the cheat sheet. All right, so let's go ahead and get started and let's talk about the best dropshipping services to help us scale our businesses. So to start things off, when we're talking about dropshipping services, what we're referring to is a service provider that can provide a certain service for our business. So to start things off, the first service that we're gonna talk about is logo making. Now, in order to make a logo, you have quite a few different options. You can either do the free route where you do it yourself or you can pay somebody to have it done for you. Now, chances are that if you're starting a business, whether that be an e-commerce business or any other business, you're gonna need a logo. Having a logo for your brand can help convey that your brand's identity. And truthfully speaking, if you go to any online store, whether that be on Etsy, Shopify or eBay, and you see that they don't have a logo or it's just really plain, you don't have too much trust in making a purchase from them. So if you have your online business, you wanna have some sort of logo to convey your own brand. So people can recognize it as well. Whether it be an intricate logo or a simple logo, you just wanna have something there. So one option that you have to create your own logo is Hatchful. Hatchful is actually Shopify's own logo creator. It's totally free and it's pretty easy to use. So to get started, all you have to do is head on over to Shopify.com slash tools slash logo dash maker. Now I know that sounds like a lot, but all of this is gonna be included in the cheat sheet. So just make sure you comment down below for that. So all you have to do is head on over to the Hatchful website and once you're on there, you just have to create a quick account. Once your account is created, just go ahead and get started. Once you start the logo creation process, it's gonna ask you to choose a particular business. So in this case, let's say we're starting a fashion drop shopping business. We're gonna click on fashion. Gonna go ahead and click next. Then we choose a visual style. So I want something that's pretty creative. I like creativity. So I'm gonna choose creative business name. I'm just gonna do my fashion biz and we don't need a slogan. Where's it gonna be used? For the most part, it's gonna be online or on social media. And then Hatchful gives you a few different logo suggestions. So from here, let's say I like this one. I can go ahead and edit it and start optimizing it to my liking and to my business needs. Now, if for whatever reason, you don't wanna do this yourself, let's say maybe you don't have an eye for design or you just don't like doing it, then you can use a service like Fiverr. For this, all you have to do is go on over to the Fiverr website, Fiverr.com and look up logo design services. Once you look up the search term, then you're gonna be prompted with tons of different services that you can choose from. Now the top row is typically gonna be ads, but then the ones under them are gonna be the usual sellers that aren't running any ads. And usually when they're this high up, that means they're pretty highly rated. So let's take a look at the first three. The first three are two level twos and a level one. So Fiverr goes by levels and the higher the level, the more popular or the more highly rated they are. Also, if you look down here, you can see their star rating. So this one has a 5.0 with 14 different reviews. This one has a 4.9 with 455 reviews. Quick tip, when you're choosing your service providers on Fiverr, always look at the reviews, making sure that they have good reviews and enough of them is integral to getting the best possible service. So let's click into this one really fast. This seller is actually specifically advertising for logo creation for power washing and cleaning services. Now, if you like their design and you like their style and you wanna see if they can offer any other types of designs, then you can simply go ahead and just contact them and get started talking to them about what you need for your store or your brand. Also, another quick tip from personal experience when using Fiverr, don't directly go to continue. So don't choose a package and click continue. For best results and quicker service, always make sure to contact them first to make sure that you're choosing the right package or they can give you a custom package. So continuing with the seller's page, here you can see their seller level. So being a level two means that they've completed at least 50 orders on time with a minimum 4.7 rating. So that means they have some pretty high quality service. Then here you can see their 4.9 star review with 455 reviews. And last over here, this actually shows how many orders they have to do before they can get to yours if you were to place your order now. Now scrolling down a little bit, you're gonna see a little bit about the gig, which is what they call their services. So for this particular gig, this is what this particular seller or service provider is offering. And if you keep scrolling down, you see a bit more details on the service provider themselves. So this particular person is from Bangladesh and they've been doing this since August, 2019 on Fiverr itself. If you speak any other language or if you're fluent in any other language, that's no problem at all because you can also see what languages they're fluent in. So in this case, this person can speak English, German, Spanish and French. Scrolling down just a little bit more, you can see some of their packages along with what those packages include. And then you can get to the reviews. Now the cool thing about the reviews is that a lot of the times people are gonna post the work that this seller did for them. So for this review, this seller gave them five stars and posted up their sample or what they received. Now when it comes to Fiverr, that's pretty much all there is to it. It's super simple to use. It's really easy. It's really streamlined and you can find tons of different services on there, not just logo creation. You can find website design. You can find virtual assistants. You can find help with marketing, social media and even product finding for your drop shipping business. Now the pricing on here can vary widely. You can pay as little as $5 up to anywhere over $5 or $600. It really all depends on the service that you're looking for as well as the experience of the service provider themselves. And a lot of the times, depending on their location, that can also affect the price. Now the next service that we're gonna cover is website design. Website design is pretty important if you have your own website. If you're selling on something like eBay or Etsy, it really doesn't matter because you're not gonna have your own website. You're using their website. But if you're selling on something like Shopify, Wix or WooCommerce, then it's gonna be pretty important for you to either know how to design your website, whether it be on the Shopify or Wix platform itself or have somebody else do it for you. Now the design of your website is pretty crucial because if you have a sloppy and hard to navigate website, the user's just gonna click off. Now if you have a smooth website that looks clean, everything looks professional and neatly placed and overall easy to navigate, a customer would be more likely to make a purchase on the website. Now a great website that you can use to find some service providers for web design is Upwork. Upwork is actually really similar to Fiverr in terms of all of the services that you can find in there. It's pretty much a huge directory for freelancers. Now the unique thing about Upwork is the fact that you have two different options when looking for these freelancers. So for one, you can actually look for the freelancers themselves or on the other hand, you can post job postings and have them reach out to you. So if you quickly look over to the screen, you're gonna see that we have two different options when we're searching the Upwork website. So for one we have, I have the details ready to post a job. So in this case, you're gonna go ahead and post a job and the freelancers are gonna go ahead and reach out to you. Then you have the second option, which is I have a rough idea of what I need done. Find an expert and book consultations to move your project forward. In this case, you're pretty much gonna be searching for the freelancers themselves. Now, as mentioned before, Upwork works really similar to Fiverr in the terms of the different types of services that you can find in the website itself. So on Upwork, you can find marketing services, design services, website design, social media help and a lot more. Now as far as pricing, that also varies, but there is one main difference between Fiverr and Upwork and that's Upwork is gonna work on a per hour basis or on a project completion basis. So the next service that we're gonna talk about is product finding. Product finding is one of the more crucial things that we need to do for our dropshipping businesses. If we don't find the right products, we're not gonna get any sales. So product research is imperative. Now when it comes to product finding, there are a few different services that you can look into. For one, as unconventional as it sounds, you have Aliexpress. So Aliexpress actually has this thing called the Dropship Center. So let's go on over really quick to the Aliexpress website and once we're on here, all we have to do is just scroll all the way down. Once you scroll down, you're gonna see this, that says DS Center, go ahead and click on that. Now, once the page loads, you're gonna be prompted with tons of different best selling items. All of these products have been proven to sell in the past and are currently trending. And you also get a little bit of extra analytics. So for one, you can see over here, this particular product is actually not that I could. It has a 2.4 star rating with about 1,391 sold. Because of that star rating, you probably wanna stay away from that one and look at something more like this one, which has a 4.7 star rating with 1,821 being sold. So things like this can help you choose what products you wanna sell or add to your store. Now, another option that you have for product finding service providers is AutoDS. AutoDS actually has a couple of different options that you can choose from. So for one, you have the marketplace. Now, in this marketplace, we now offer private suppliers as well as an AutoDS warehouse. So if you go on over to your platform over at platform.autods.com, you're gonna see a supplier section. From here, we're gonna go ahead and select AutoDS suppliers. So I already have selected AutoDS suppliers and I'm gonna start scrolling down a little bit. And now you're gonna see here, you're gonna see that some of them have AutoDS warehouse while others have a particular supplier. So in this case, this is a private supplier, Bosco Wholesale. Here, you can see a few different options. So for one, you can see that the shipping time is between six to nine business days from this particular supplier. And if you click into it, then you're gonna get a bit more information on the product itself and some of the variations. Now going back to the main page, looking at one that says AutoDS warehouse, this one, for example, also has the option for branding logo. What this means is you can go ahead and upload your own logo and the item ship with your logo. Now, if you keep scrolling, you're gonna see tons of other items that you can add to your store. Now, if you're looking for best sellers with a proven track record and are currently trending, then you can go ahead and check out the winning product section. So for here, we're gonna go ahead and click on the left hand side under winning products. And once the page loads, you're gonna find tons of other products that are proven best sellers. So for example, let's go ahead and look at this magic groove copy book. So we're gonna click into that. And then once the page loads, you're gonna get some pretty helpful information. So you're gonna have the cost of the actual item. But then if you scroll down, you're gonna have tons of analytics that can help you start selling this product. So for one, you have a potential profit. You can see here that it's being sold currently for about $34.94. So that gives you a potential profit of $24.72 with the sourcing price of $10.22. Then if you scroll down a little bit more, you're gonna see you have an example of a Facebook ad. So you can kind of take that into consideration when structuring your own Facebook ads. Then looking up just a little bit more, you're gonna see you also have an example Facebook target audience. In this case, it's targeted towards both males and females between the ages of 25 and 50, both single and married with interests in education, children's development, parenting, and learning tools. Now these are just suggestions. You can always add your own different interests so you can try targeting a different demographic. Then if you look right under that, you're gonna see some Autodesk insights. Right here you have some helpful information. And if you look on the top right, you're gonna see a link that you can go ahead and click. And it's gonna take you to a website that is actually currently selling this product. Now Autodesk has a few different pricing plans, but to start off, you have the import pricing, which is at $9.90 a month. The starter, which is $17.90. And the advanced, which is $32.90. But if you wanna give Autodesk a shot, you can go ahead and try this out for just $1. Not entirely sure how long this promotion is gonna keep going on for, so just take advantage right now while you can. Now the next service provider that we're gonna be talking about is image editors. When somebody lands on your website, one of the first things they see are gonna be different images, whether it be a banner on your website or a product image. Having unique and high quality images really helps build trust in your customers so they can make a purchase from your website. Always make sure that the images that you have on your website, whether it be the banner or the product images, are clear, they're clean, straight to the point, and most importantly, professional looking. If possible, try to avoid any images that are pixelized or blurry and just are too dark or just don't look good. Now if you're looking for these kinds of services, then you can easily check out either Upwork or Fiverr. Now when you're selling online, let's say you're selling on eBay, Etsy or Amazon, a lot of the times there's gonna be fees associated to it, especially these fees usually come after a sale and can sometimes be kind of high depending on the type of service that you're using or the platform that you're selling on. So to help you out with this and anticipate the fees, you can either go to your selling platforms website and start reading through all of the documentation or you can simply just look up on Google, fee calculators. So the next service provider that we're gonna talk about are fee calculators. Now the good thing about fee calculators is they're pretty much free for the most part. All you have to do is go on Google and type in Etsy fee calculator or Shopify fee calculator, whatever it is, whatever platform you're selling on, plus fee calculator. Now to give you a quick example, we actually have a free eBay calculator on our website over at autods.com. If you want direct access to that, the link to it is gonna be in the cheat sheet. But just to give you a general overview, here you have a quick fee breakdown. So there's two different ways that you can use this. For one, if you have an eBay link and you wanna see what this particular item is paying in fees, then you can just go ahead and paste the link in there. This is an eBay link and then click on search. Then it's gonna go ahead and update with the total fees along with your total profit. Now, if you don't wanna use a link to this, then you can easily just set your selling price over here. So let's say I have an item that I'm selling for $35. In this case, my profit is gonna be $30.31 with $4.69 in fees. Remember that this fee calculator is completely free to use and if you wanna check it out, it's gonna be on the Autods website or in the cheat sheet. Now up next in our list of services, we're gonna be talking about virtual assistance. Virtual assistance can really help you save tons of time on your business and that's actually time that you can go ahead and reinvest into your business to keep scaling. You can hire virtual assistants to take care of pretty much anything. You can hire them to help you out with product importing, maybe doing some product research, customer service, answering back to emails, almost anything that you can think of. And if you're looking for these particular services, if you're looking for a virtual assistant, some of the best places that you can find them are gonna be Upwork as well as Fiverr. Now the next service that we're gonna talk about is product importing. Product importing is something that can easily be done manually when you're trying to import different products to your store. So if you have maybe two or three different products, maybe even five or six, it's fairly easy and fairly quick to be able to start importing them all into your store. It really all depends on the product themselves and how much you have to optimize on the listing, whether you have to edit the description, the title or the images. Now doing a handful is fairly easy, as mentioned, but when you start doing maybe 15, 16, 20 or even more, then that's when it can start to get extremely time consuming. Typically when you're uploading a product, you can take anywhere between five to 20 minutes for just one product. Now you can see if you have multiple products that take about 20 minutes, you can see how that's gonna start to add up and start to become really time consuming. In this case, one of the best things that you can do is start trying to find some service providers that can help you out with that. Now, when it comes to this, one of the best services that you can use is actually out of the S. So once you're in out of the S, all you have to do is select the shop that you wanna upload it to. In this case, we're gonna upload to my Pet Shop and we're gonna go ahead and click on add products. Once we go to add products, we're gonna be prompted with a few different options. For one, we're gonna have the single product and then we're also gonna have the multiple products importing options. These are pretty self-explanatory. The single product allows us to quickly upload one product while the multiple products will help us upload the various. So let's go ahead and actually explore the multiple products because this is probably one of the more convenient options. Now, here you have two different options. So first, you can go ahead and type in all of the different URLs to the products or you can upload a CSV file with all of the information and everything's just gonna get uploaded to your draft section. In this case, we're gonna go ahead and upload actually just one URL. Doesn't matter if you upload one or if you upload 10, but in this case, we're just gonna be doing one which is actually the eBay listing that we just checked out on the fee calculator. So you can see that on the bottom, the supplier source changed to eBay and it's actually shipping from the United States. So from here, all we have to do is go ahead and click on add as draft and it's gonna go to our draft section where we can make any necessary edits before making a go live on our store. The next service in this list is order fulfillment. Now order fulfillment is fairly similar to the product importing in terms of the types of ways that you can do it. So you can start to do it manually, which once again is okay when you have a handful of products because it's fairly quick, but once you start to get more, then it can start to get very time consuming. In this case, once again, we can also use out of the S to automate and streamline the entire thing. So if we look on over to our orders tab over here, we're gonna see all of the different orders that have been placed on our store. So this one in particular is still pending. This one has already been shipped. This one was actually ordered and we have two of them that were already delivered. Now when it comes to placing the order with the suppliers, you have three different options. For one, you can do it manually and just pretty much do everything by hand. Copy and paste the address, log into your suppliers website, find the item, place the order, have it shipped to your customer and then update them with the tracking. Now the other option that you have is automatic order fulfillment or fulfilled by out of the S. Those are actually two different options. Automatic order fulfillment pretty much just uses your buyer accounts along with your credit card or your banking details to place the order on your behalf with your supplier. So out of the S will log into your suppliers website using your credentials and place the order on your behalf and have it shipped to your customer. Once the order is placed and shipped and there is a tracking number available, out of the S will take that and update your customer with it. Now the other option is fulfilled by auto DS. Fulfilled by auto DS is a bit more convenient for the simple fact that instead of using your credit card details, it's gonna end up using a balance that you top up. So instead of using your credentials for let's say AliExpress or Amazon, it's gonna use the auto DS accounts to make those purchases. Now this is extremely helpful, especially in cases of Amazon and eBay because it helps prevent account suspensions or restrictions. Now the next two services are actually supposed to be two separate services but they're fairly similar because they kind of go hand in hand with each other and that's gonna be price and stock monitoring as well as inventory management. Now when it comes to price and stock monitoring, you really wanna keep an eye on your suppliers. So you always wanna make sure that your suppliers still have the items that you're offering in stock. Now because of this, it's actually really important to have multiple suppliers because if that particular supplier either runs out of the item or they increase their prices by two or three times, then you're gonna have a problem because for one, you're not gonna be able to sell that item to your customers for such a high price or if they run out of the item, then you're just not gonna be able to sell to your customers at all because there's no product. And that's actually where inventory management comes in. You always wanna make sure that you have your inventory updated and managed whenever one of these types of issues can arise. So let's say the price of an item goes up by $2 and you want your price to also reflect that change, then you're gonna need someone or yourself to keep track of your supplier as well as your inventory and make the necessary adjustments. Now to streamline this process, you have a couple of options. For one, you can hire a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant can take care of all of this stuff for you and keep your store up to date. Now, a virtual assistant can be helpful, but sometimes they could be a little bit late in the game. So let's say they have scheduled to check your supplier every Monday. If your supplier runs out on Wednesday, then that means you're gonna have a few days where you could potentially have a problem with a customer placing an order for that particular item. Now, of course, either you or your virtual assistant can be checking your suppliers every single day. But if you have a lot of items, if you have 20 or 30 items in your store, checking each supplier for those items can be a hassle and it can be extremely time consuming. Now, once again, a service provider that is specialized for drop shipping can help you out in this case. So in this case, once again, let's go ahead and look into AutoDS. So AutoDS has a price and stock monitoring tool that can alert you whenever there is a change to either price or stock. So that way you can easily make the necessary adjustments. Going hand in hand with that is also the inventory management software. So if there's ever any issues with any products, so let's say your supplier runs out of a certain product, AutoDS will update your store and your product inventory to reflect that change. Same thing when it comes to pricing. If your supplier raises their prices by $2, you can set AutoDS to be able to reflect those price changes and make any necessary adjustments. This will ensure that your customers are always happy because there's never gonna be an issue and you always make your profits. Next up in our list of services is marketing. Marketing is absolutely crucial to get your products or your website or your store in front of the eyes of pretty much anybody. Marketing comes in many different forms. It comes in the form of discount codes, email marketing, Facebook marketing, creating TikToks based on a particular product or service. There's tons of different ways that you can market your products or your store. Now, when it comes to marketing, you can hire a virtual assistant to help you out with this, but if you do decide to do that, make sure that the person that you're hiring actually knows about marketing. Make sure that they know what they're doing in this case because you don't want somebody that's just gonna take a shot in the dark and just start trying different things that are either not gonna work, waste time, and more importantly, waste money. Now, another option that you have is go on either Fiverr or Upwork and once you're on there, just look for marketing services. You're gonna find tons of different people on there offering marketing services. Another thing that really helps with marketing is making sure you have proper SEO so that way you can rank in Google searches. Now, a tool that you can use for free is RankMath. RankMath is a plugin that you can use for WordPress that gives you some SEO optimization suggestions. And the other one that has a free trial is Send in Blue. Send in Blue helps you out with email marketing. This can help you out with email promotions and reaching out to customers through email. Now last but certainly not least, the last service that we're gonna talk about is customer service. When it comes to customer service, this is probably one of the more important and most crucial aspects of your business. If your customer doesn't receive the proper customer service, they're either not gonna make a purchase or they're just not gonna come back for a second purchase. If you're looking for the best possible customer service, you can either take care of this yourself and make sure that you reply to all of your emails in a timely fashion and take care of any refunds or return requests, or to make things even easier, you can go ahead and once again, hire a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant is probably one of the more optimal ways to go about this because you're gonna have somebody that's dedicated specifically to your customers and making sure that all of their problems are taken care of. Now, those were some of the best dropshipping services to be able to help you start scaling your business and some service providers. Now, I do have a few other service providers to be able to help you out in your dropshipping journey. So let's get started with those. So so far we covered AutoDS, Upwork, Fiverr, and Aliexpress. Now, our next service provider, similar to Aliexpress is CJ Dropshipping. Now, CJ Dropshipping offers print-on-demand services, private labeling services, and best of all, they have a quality control process to make sure that your customers always have the best quality products. Now, if you need help with your marketing for your products that you're sourcing from CJ Dropshipping, that's where CJ Dropshipping can really shine. They can offer you custom videos and images of the products, so you can use those in all of your marketing materials, whether it be Facebook ads, TikTok videos, Instagram posts, whatever it may be. Up next in our list of service providers, we have probably one of the smartest ones on this list, and that's gonna be ChatGPT. Now, ChatGPT, you can really use for pretty much just about anything. You can create product titles, product descriptions, you can ask it for suggestions on products to dropship or niches to dropship, and you can even ask it for certain creative ideas. So if you need help coming up with an idea for a logo for your store, you can go ahead and ask ChatGPT for a couple of ideas based around your particular niche, and it'll give you some pretty good suggestions. So as a quick example, let's just go ahead and ask it for a short product description for a magnetic key chain for Etsy. So it gave us a product description, now let's go ahead and see what it says. A magnetic key chain is a compact and convenient accessory that securely holds your keys in place using magnetic force. The key chain typically consists of a small magnet and a metal ring or clip that attaches to your keys. So I'm just gonna go up to there and from what we just read, it's pretty good. Of course, sometimes it could use a little bit of editing, but it's a lot quicker to edit something that's already written rather than just come up with the whole thing ourselves. Next up on this list, we have Canva. Now Canva is perfect for coming up with either email templates, different designs, or even your own logo. So Canva is super easy to use. All you have to do is sign on using whatever sign in method you prefer. So either Google, Facebook, or just create your own account. Then click on create a design. Once you're on here, you can choose the type of design that you want. Typically for a dropshipping business, we're probably gonna go with something like a logo. So let's go ahead and click on logo. And then here you have all of the different assets that you can use. So let's say this one right here, I'm just gonna click it, drag and drop, and I can make any necessary edits here. So my dropshipping business, let's change this one for a, a, and this one for DS. It's a little bit ugly. So let's go ahead and adjust that, make it a bit more legible. A, D, S, and let's switch this over actually to auto DS. That's all you have to do. It's super simple, super easy to use, and very straightforward. Once you're done and you're happy with your final result, all you have to do is click on share and scroll down a little bit and click on download. From there, just click download and you have your final logo. Next up, for all of those that have issues with tags or figuring out what tags to use on their Etsy listings, we have sale samurai. Sale samurai is awesome because you can give it a couple of different keywords or your product title and it'll give you some of the best tags to use on your Etsy listings. Remember that tags and SEO are absolutely crucial for you to come up in front of the eyes of new buyers or potential customers. So having the appropriate tags, titles, and descriptions in your Etsy listings can help you get more sales. Next up, we have PageFly landing page builder. Now this dropshipping service is actually an app that you can install on your Shopify store. It helps you generate some really great looking landing pages. So that way when your customer lands on it, it's easy for them to navigate around and find what they need. Next up, we have my ad finder. Now this service is actually a really good one because it can help you with your marketing and your Facebook ads. So my ad finder is an extension that you can download for either Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge. Now what my ad finder does is it automatically collects different Facebook ads that you see as you're scrolling through Facebook. Now this is an awesome feature because instead of having to manually save all of the different ads, this extension automatically saves them all for you. So that way later on when you're building your Facebook ads, you have quick and easy references right at your fingertips. And that brings us to the end of the video.
