 You've seen a thousand dropshipping videos, but what makes this one so special? So when we think about dropshipping, there are so many places that we can sell on like Facebook Marketplace and Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Wix, WooCommerce, and so much more. But let me make this so much easier for you and simplify the process. So one of the biggest problems that I see a lot of people making is simply not knowing what products to sell. So you'd go on, you'd create your online store, you'd add a whole bunch of products to your store, and you have no idea what you're selling and how to sell it, how to target the right audience for your products. So first of all, it's important to start with product research and knowing how to find the right products to sell that people are actually looking to buy. And I'm not going to focus on that now, we're going to get to that soon. The second thing is understanding exactly where we're going to sell this product. Now, as I mentioned, there's a whole bunch of selling channels that we can use, but to simplify everything and to make it much, much easier, we're going to start with Shopify. It's one of the best places that we can sell our products today, get started and have our store up and running today. And the last thing that we need to understand is exactly what our brand is, who we are, what message we're trying to bring out to our audiences. And with that, we'll be able to understand how to create our stores, our logos, how to market to our audience and everything else. So without further ado, let's go ahead and get started, start with product research and understand exactly what product we're going to sell and create our Shopify stores. So when it comes to finding the right product to sell on our stores, we can really get lost in all of this because there are millions of products that we can resell. So how do we actually narrow down on our winners? Well, there's a conventional methods of like going to TikTok and writing, TikTok made me buy it and seeing all the products that are selling there. And you can go to AliExpress's bestsellers or their dropshipping center or Amazon's bestsellers and just see what's trending there. But these are the saturated methods that everyone else is doing. So how can you be better and be on top of your competition here? The best way to do it is to, first of all, understand what are the best criteria to find a winning product? First, it needs to be hard to find. If you can find it everywhere, then your customers can find it everywhere too. Second, it needs to be affordable. Well, this should be for obvious reasons. If it costs too much, most people will not be able to buy it. And third, it needs to actually solve a problem. Okay, it needs to be a problem solving product where the customer can easily understand why they need to purchase this product and why they need it now. So here's exactly what I do to find my winning products today. Here, I'm using AutoDS's winning products hub, and I'm going to leave the link to it right below this video so that you can use it too. Now, this place has tons of trending products. Now, it's good that they're trending, but I still need them to follow my criteria. So as I scroll here, you can see a whole bunch of products that are trending. And I'm just going to click on one of them and go inside and see what it actually has to offer. So here I've got a portable electric garlic masher crusher. This is a pretty cool product. Let's see if it fits our criteria. So as I start to scroll down, I can see that it's being sold for $16. And it actually costs me just about $1 to ship it out, which means that I can make over $10 in profit minus my selling channel fees, which we'll get to later. But this is the amount of potential profit that I can get from selling this product each time. Here, I can see the seller's ad copy. So I can see what ad he's running, what types of sentences he's using to really reel his audience inside, and we can see how much engagement this product is getting. So over 3,800 likes over 320 comments, 380 shares. We can see that this one is pretty popular. Now this electric garlic crusher, what does it actually do? How does it actually help solve a problem? So here, I mean, I've got my kitchen and I know that when I'm crushing my garlics, I'm doing it manually and I'm pretty much hurting my hand doing so. Because it's just that tool that you have to crush with your hand. It's not very easy, not very practical. That's the problem that this electric garlic crusher has to solve. So it's actually going to do it for you automatically. Just put your garlic inside and boom, it's mashed and crushed. So you can see an example of the seller who's running the ad copy. And we can also see his website. This is what his website looks like. And I can click on it here to actually get the full view of his website and see what creatives he's using to sell this product. And we can also see that this fits a broad target audience. This can go for anyone from the ages of 18, when people usually leave their homes and go live in their own apartments up until the age of 60, where people are still in the kitchens making their own food. So this product can actually fit a broad, broad audience. Okay, all right, we get it. This product has potential, but what are we actually going to do about it? So we've got this spreadsheet right here. And don't worry, I'm going to share it with all of you who are watching this video. And what we're going to do is we're going to add all of the product information inside this spreadsheet. And after we have about five, six products, we can easily narrow down and understand which one is our winner. So what I'm going to do is I'm simply going to take all the product information like the product's name. And I'm going to start answering these questions like, are you passionate about this product? Is it something that you understand? Do you care about it? Or is it something that you have no idea what it is? Is it hard to guess the price? Is it safe to sell? Does it solve a problem and stand out? And does it cost less than $30? And the rest of the questions. So add all of the product information inside, get five or six products, and you'll be easily able to narrow it down. But in this example, I'm going to continue with this electric portable garlic crusher. And by the way, if you want more winning products just like this one, I've created a list of 20 winning products that are guaranteed to make a killing in 2024. And if you want access to this list, get this video to 1000 likes and I'll share the link right below this video. Okay, so we found our winning product. Now it's actually time to create our store on Shopify. Now I'm not going to do this video, but I will leave a link to a full free Shopify course that will show you how to create a store from scratch, completely from nothing, even if you have no technical skills and you've never done it in the past. But what I do want to talk about, what I do want to show you is how to actually brand your store by creating a professional looking logo. And this is important because we want to be able to reach out to our audience and show them, hey, we're a business, we're professionals, we know what we're doing and this is why you need this product. We know how to talk to you and this is exactly how we're going to do it. So we've got this website called Hatchful. It's completely free to use and you don't have to spend a dime. So you're just going to log in, you're going to create a free account and then you're going to click on this button right here, create a logo now. So I'm going to go with this first one right here. I like the colors. I like this clean grayish background color along with this blackish or this dark brown on the text and on the logo itself. Okay, so now that our store is finally up and running and we've got a nice looking logo, we've got a good homepage that we learned how to create from the free Shopify course. Now we're going to import the product really easily to our stores by going to the winning product section, which I showed you. We're going to click right up here to connect our Shopify store. We're going to click on add store. We're going to click on Shopify, click on continue. And from there, the connection is a breeze. And from there, from the winning products page, we're simply going to click on import draft. And that's it. This product is going to be on our Shopify stores with all of the pictures, all of the details and everything else. So now that everything looks good, we need to actually make sure that people know that this store exists. Otherwise, it's going to be pretty quiet, right? So this is where marketing comes in. And a lot of people get really stressed out when it comes to marketing because it's like, oh, wow, now I need to put a lot of money into marketing to make people know that this store exists so that they'll actually get to my store and buy the product. Well, I'm here to tell you that that is simply not the case today. You can even market your products without spending a dime. And the way to do that, well, there are several methods, but one of my favorite is simply by creating free organic TikTok videos. This means that you need to create a new TikTok account, order the product to your house. So in this case, it only costs a dollar, probably maybe another dollar and a half for shipping, but it's only going to set you back a few bucks and now you've actually got the product in front of you. And what you're going to do here is start creating organic videos on the product. Show how it works, create videos around it, try to search for products that are similar to it on TikTok and look at what other people did with those similar products. For example, other kitchen gadgets. And when it comes to creating organic videos on TikTok, many people will just create two to five videos and it'll end up not working out. And they'll say, well, maybe this whole marketing thing is simply not for me. Well, I'm here to tell you that is not the case. Here it's a numbers game. And I don't know if you guys have seen MrBeast's YouTube video where he says if you didn't upload 100 videos, you're not going to see any results yet. You need to go around 100 videos, then we can talk, then we can start to see what videos started to work. So this may seem like a lot, but it's not. It only takes a couple of minutes to shoot each TikTok video. And this way, once one video starts to go viral, you're going to create more videos that are going to replicate what that video did. And that way you're going to have a lot of winning variations and you're going to start driving lots of free organic traffic to your stores. And the best part about organic traffic is that it's ongoing. It'll keep going forever. As long as you continue uploading new videos, you're going to drive even more traffic and it's not sending you back a dime. This is a method that a lot of people are using today and it's proven to be very, very successful. So that is one free way of doing it that I love to do myself. Now, if you do have a budget on the side and you want to take shortcuts, you don't want to spend a whole bunch of time on marketing, well, today we have the power of artificial intelligence. So here I want to show you HeyGen, which is a really cool video AI creator. You can create a video of yourself and it'll turn it into an avatar, or you can choose a randomly chosen avatar from within the website. And from here, you can simply feed it a whole bunch of text and it will use that as speech and create a video for your product. Now, of course, this is just going to be a text to speech. So you are going to have to add in some b-rolls and some extra videos of the actual product in action, which you can get from the supplier's website. Or, of course, you can order the product to your home and create those videos yourself. Add it in with this mixed AI and that way you've got a good video copy with minimal effort. Now, signing up to HeyGen is free and not only that, you can even create your first two-minute video absolutely for free. So, yes, I said that it costs money, but that's if you want to create longer videos and more videos. But let's do a quick example and see exactly how this works. So I signed in with a free account and the first thing that you can do here is create a free instant avatar. Now, of course, you can create a photo avatar templates and of course, create an AI script. But let's start with a free instant avatar. Now, another thing that you can do here is the logos that you got from Hatchful, which I showed a couple minutes ago, you can even put that on Canva, which is absolutely free to use. And you can integrate Canva with HeyGen. So while your avatar speaks, you can show the product on the side and anything else like the logos that you created, the product and anything else that you want to show in the video. So this integration is seamless and it's completely amazing. All right, so HeyGen finished converting my first AI movie for marketing. Let's see how it came out. Do you find yourself spending hours chopping garlic and other foods in the kitchen? Well, we have the perfect solution for you. Okay, I'm going to stop it right there. This is pretty amazing. So you saw it only took me a couple of minutes to get this down. Now, of course, you can change anything that you want. You can change the speaker. You can make yourself the speaker. You can even add your own voice into this prompt. So everything here is customizable. You can put the images on the side. You can change the backgrounds. You can also add a logo from Hatchful and everything else. So you can really make this your own video and it was completely AI generated. And this one didn't even cost me one cent. So that's how you can use AI to create video marketing ads for your product. Now, before I move on to the third marketing method, there is one really special tool that's going to help you stand out from all of your competition. And it's also going to help you automate every aspect of your business. So this way you can save time and scale and scale and scale. And this tool is called AutoDS. Now, the thing is it only costs $1 to start. And this $1 is going to be one of the biggest investments that you can make. Because within that $1, what you're going to get on top of all of the automation for automating your prices, the stock status, and everything else, you're also going to get all of this academy that you see right here. And this academy is full of dropshipping videos, no matter where you want to sell, how you want to find your products, how you want to market them. Everything here is absolutely free and it's included within that $1. So I'm going to leave the link to it right below this video. Simply click on start now for $1 and start your journey. And now moving on to marketing method number three. And this is the conventional method of bringing traffic to your stores. It's called PaperClickAds and you can use lots of different platforms to run your PaperClickAds. Now, this is a method that many people are using but it's been proven to work year after year after year and it's still working really well today for online sellers with TikTok ads being the new kid on the block. So running ads costs a little bit less than Facebook and Google and other conventional methods so it's a good place to start off with and to really be able to understand exactly what this means, it simply means that we're taking a video or images of our product, we're creating a post on it and then we're going to give TikTok a daily budget to show this product, to show this ad to our target audience. Now, the more of a budget we give it in the beginning, the more audience it's going to show it to but we want to start off small around $5 to $10 per day, see what ad copies start to work and start to scale it from there by turning off the ones that don't work and scaling and creating more ad copies to those that do work. More information on that, of course, in our Shopify course but I want you to get some inspiration from the TikTok ad spy that we have inside AutoTSD. So we've got this TikTok ad spy and this can get you inspiration on what TikTok ads are actually working, what the audience is resonating with, what types of ads work. So right here I've got this filter that says likes. I'm going to go for posts that have more than 20,000 likes because I actually want to see the ad copies that work. And from here I'm going to get all of these ad copies and you can see the engagements right here 20,000 likes, 50,000 likes, 390,000 likes. So these are the ads that are actually working and here we can find tons of dropshipping products that people are running TikTok ads on and they're making crazy sales. Then you can simply click here on see TikTok ad and you can see the ad copy in full and this, of course, is going to give you a really good indication of what products are working, what ad copies to run and exactly how to run them. For example, check out this TikTok ad that I found from the TikTok ads by. So it's this tool for sticky rice. Pretty cool, right? It was a six second video but as we can see right here it shows the product in action. It shows what problem it's helping the customer solve which we talked about in the criteria and as you can see right here it's got over 550,000 likes, 6,000 comments, 7,500 saves and over 2,000 shares. So pretty popular product and you can be sure that he's making a lot of traffic from this TikTok ad. So the traffic is going to his online store which looks like this and we can see that he's selling this product for $19.99 but how much is he buying it for? So we can see right here on AliExpress that he's getting the same exact rice spoon paddle for just $2.44 including shipping. So when he's selling it for $20 he's marking it by over seven times the source price meaning he's making over $15 in profit for every time he sells this product and you can be sure that he's making sales with 550,000 people who decided to like the post and not everyone who sees the ad will like it. So this means that more people saw than the numbers that we're seeing here and a lot of those people actually click on the ad went to the website and purchased the product. So that's how easy it is to be able to find an ad copy that works and see exactly what is working with it what the audience resonates with so that we can replicate it make it better give a better hook to our audiences make a better offer and we're going to be able to make those sales and profits. So now that we learned about the best marketing methods to bring traffic to our stores it's inevitable right now we're going to make sales people are going to see our products they're going to click on checkout and they're going to purchase them so now it's time to actually ship out the products and make sure that they reach our target audience on time. Now in order for that to happen we can do it in two different ways one we can manually go to the supplier's website purchase the product and ship it to our buyers but this is going to become time-consuming especially once you start making 10, 20, 50 plus orders per day and that is why of course we have automation which is included in that one dollar that I talked about earlier and here all of your orders will show up on the dashboard as you can see right here and you can send them out automatically without even having to click on a button. As soon as an order comes in the system will recognize where to purchase it from they're going to purchase it send it to your customer and you don't have to do anything your orders will get automated even while you travel even while you sleep at night and that's a great thing about automation and why it helps us save time and use that time that we save to invest back into growing our business. So as you see right here I've got all of the products that my customers ordered I can see which store it sold on who the supplier is and I have the customer's details right here where I need to ship it to so again I can do it manually or the statuses will switch automatically if I've got automatic orders turned on so it will move from pending to ordered once it's ordered it will move to shift once it's shipped out with the tracking number and delivered once it was actually delivered to the customer and again all of this is being completely automated you can just go to the dashboard and see what the status of your orders are and of course once the profits start to roll in simply withdraw them to your bank account and enjoy the extra profits so up until now we learned how to find a winning product how to create a brand around that product how to create our online stores how to market our products and how to process our orders from here the skies are the limit and if you want more videos like this check out the academy that I showed you subscribe to our youtube channel because videos like this are coming out all the time with new fresh updated info and if you're having any troubles let me know what your roadblocks are or what you want to learn next just write it in the comments below and I will personally answer each and every one of your comments good luck starting your dropshipping business I can't wait to hear about your success stories and I'll see you in the next video
