 Hey, what's up guys, welcome to a new YouTube video. So in this one then, we're going to be looking at some successful Shopify drop shipping stores, not just drop shipping, but e-commerce in general. So I'm a big believer in when it comes to learning to do anything successfully, not just business, not just e-commerce, then the best people to learn from are those people who are already doing it successfully. So for example, you wouldn't learn how to play the piano from somebody who doesn't know how to play the piano. You wouldn't learn how to box, how to do some form of a martial art from somebody who hasn't practiced it and knows how to do it themselves. And the same thing as I just said, applies to drop shipping, applies to business. So in my opinion then, once a week, you should always be looking at successful Shopify stores. Just go through them, make notes of what kind of products they're selling, the things you do and don't like about their Shopify stores, the kind of strategies they're implementing for their content. And that's basically what I'm going to show you how to do in this video. So there's a couple of stores quite successful in their own right that I want to show you. And I'm just going to show you what I would do as I go through them, the kind of notes I would make and the kind of things that I pick up on that I will implement into my own stores. So with that being said guys, thanks for tuning in. I hope you enjoy this one. If you do, please do make sure you hit that like button. If you enjoyed my content and want to see more of it, please do make sure you subscribe and let's jump straight into it. So the first store I want to show you guys is called jollypatch.com. When it comes to looking at stores, so this is the exchange marketplace basically. It's where people come to sell their Shopify stores. You can see what kind of numbers and things they've done. But the first thing I'm looking for then, not this one, this one is, I want to establish how successful they actually are because a lot of stores, I was about to say it's easy to kind of make loads of money and then just kind of fall off the grid. It's not easy of course, but it's even more harder than to kind of sustain successful sales month after month after month over sale like a 12 month period. So first thing I want to look at then is their performance. These, as it says here, not there, sorry, further down here. So revenue data comes directly from Shopify. It can't be edited by the seller. So there's no kind of trickery going on. When it says they've done $886,000 in revenue, they've done $886,000 in revenue. And what is really interesting about this is the store is for sale, even though they've just had their best month. So in June, 2020, they did nearly quarter of a million, which is obviously very, very good, which is a great sign. It shows this particular product is in demand. So essentially what I'm about to show you is pretty much a proven seven figure products almost. In terms of the total traffic, half a million, so that's a really good conversion rate of sales to traffic. As a rough kind of guide or rule of thumb for every visit you get to your store, you want to try and be aiming for about one pound or $1 turnover. So the fact they've done more sales and they have traffic is a great sign. The next thing I am looking at, now not all stores or not all listings on exchange marketplace will give you, but what I'm trying to find out is their return in customer rate, which we can see is 3.65% because the higher your customer rate is than the stronger kind of following, the stronger your email list will be. One kind of downfall to dropship and it's because of the long shipping times or one to two weeks, whatever you want to call them. Your returning customer rate can sometimes be quite difficult to kind of maintain. So the higher the customer rate, the better, the stronger kind of following you have. The more people are going to be coming back for you. And the key to having a profitable and sustainable business over the course of a long term is having a high customer rate because it increases your customer lifetime value. And that's really important if you want to build and sustain a profitable business. One final thing then I want to show you guys before we move into having a look at their store is their expenses because it kind of puts into context the kind of business model these guys are running. Obviously they have a Shopify plan, they have a domain and they have paid apps of $135 per month. The other expense as well is Facebook ads which is about 20K per month. So as you can see these guys are running a Shopify dropship in store and the main, their sales, all of their sales are pretty much coming from Facebook ads. So in terms of kind of like the history of content I put out on this channel, it's all pretty much geared around Facebook ads and Shopify and dropship and e-commerce and products. So these guys essentially are implemented the very business model that I teach people on this YouTube channel. That being said, let's jump into their website. I really like their website because it's just a really good example of how simplicity is often not the best option you can have. They have notification or announcement bar at the top whatever you want to call it. It mentions the whole COVID-19. You need to have this on your stores. The number one question visitors will be having when they come onto any website is, is this business still fully functioning? Is it still open? If I place an order, are they going to dispatch it? So you need a note like this one is clearly displaying. They have a nice kind of bright high quality image displaying the product here. And just in case you don't know what the product is it's basically a patch you can put on you. A sticky patch you can put on your kids, send them off to school and it will supposedly keep away the mosquitoes. So it'll prevent them from getting bitten. Quite a nice little product is quite inexpensive. It's very kind of relevant this time of year which is translated into the sales I just showed you. They've just had their very best month and products like this is always going to do well during the summer months which is obviously when the mosquitoes come out. This is the products then as simple as it is 16 pounds for a bunch of 60 stickers and they've done nearly a million dollars in revenue. It wouldn't surprise me this is the sort of product that you don't have to get from China. There will be someone in the UK, someone in the US someone in Canada that can drop ship these for you act as a supplier. So you'll be able to offer some pretty decent shipping rates and speeds. They've got obviously loads and loads of reviews again. The number one I've spoken about this in almost every video I do where I'm talking about Shopify stores. The key thing you will have to overcome as people coming onto your stores is that doubt of whether people are actually going to receive their products. They won't trust you and you have to give them a reason to trust you and you do this by building credibility. To build credibility, you have all the kind of expected things that a customer will want to see. They'll want to see reviews. If we go to the bottom, they'll want to see contact information, things like a proper email address, a physical address if you can. You can use a PO box. You can use a virtual office. They'll want to see a telephone number too if I haven't already mentioned that. Just the more you can do to kind of instill in your customer's mind that piece of mind then the better. The next thing I want to show you guys then is not this, I'm skipping ahead of myself. So they have nearly 5,000 likes which isn't a crazy following considering that they're nearly a million dollars in revenue. But I'm just going to scroll down to July 19th. I'm going to look through their content because this is a really important thing that a lot of people actually forget to do. So the post date of this was July 19th. Post date of this was July 20th. Now they're not getting crazy engagement but they don't need to. The fact that they're posting on a daily basis so the next one is July 21st, then July 22nd, July 23rd, July 24th. The fact that they're posting on a daily basis shows anybody who comes onto this page that this business is very much active and running which is obviously a good sign. If somebody comes onto your Facebook page and your last post was from three months ago immediately they're going to be thinking well is this page, is this business still in business and it doesn't look very trustworthy. And like I said, even though they're not getting much engagement, it doesn't matter. The fact they're still posting is the key thing. Another thing too, every post isn't just about buying a product. So they're not just saying this is our product buy, this is our product buy. As you can see, they have a product post, then like a, not a meme, but just like a random post, random post, random post, random post and then a product's post. They're not just spamming people, telling people to buy their product on a daily basis which is ultimately nobody wants to get spammed with ads or being told to buy a particular product. So it's a good way of getting people to follow you and then stay following you as well. The next store I want to show you guys then is called SonavoShop.com. These guys are doing incredibly well. If we take a look at their sales volumes we can see they've done over $2 million in revenue. Last month they did 60K which was one of their worst months. So in terms of somebody potentially wanting to buy this I'll be pretty hesitant. But it's good for research purposes because we can look at their store, we can see what their best selling product is. In terms of the business model that they're running then we can see they obviously have all the kind of ones you'd expect. They also have employees at $350 a month so they're obviously outsourcing probably things like order fulfillment and then they're also spending money, 60 grand to be exact on Facebook ads each month. So again, these guys are using the exact same business model that I teach on this channel. If we take a look at their website this is essentially what a $2 million website looks like. So again, it doesn't have to be crazy, crazy special. Just have to make sure you do the fundamentals correctly. Keep it simple as possible. And then as long as you've got a good product and good ad campaign then you're going to succeed. So everything looks quite clean and clinical as you would expect for a particular product like this. Just to confirm as well, if we use Shopify Inspector and go to the best sellers this is their best selling product. So chances are they've done way over seven figures with this just one product. It's not a cheap product either at 70 pounds which just goes to show when it comes to drop shipping a big misconception people think you have to sell cheap, crappy, plasticky products. That's not the case and this is a great example of that. A couple of things that stick out to me then is they have this verified by Auto Keating I can order notification just for that extra kind of social proof that people are buying these things. And see this shadow under the add to cart button. Now that's just a nice little touch you won't see on many Shopify stores but it just makes the whole store feel and look a bit more professional. So it's often those small touches which can make all the difference. Their product description again it's nothing really that special. They have more images as we move down they talk about the different benefits and capabilities of this products the different applications. So again, all the information is there in an easy to digest and consume way. A great little video here again just demonstrating exactly what the product does the relief it can put on your knees. It's clearly defining the market clearly defining the benefits and features of the particular product. If we move down there's some social proof here so love mine different comments off of Facebook recent comments too which is key to building that credibility. They have some great reasons to buy from us and then this looks like looks to me if we scroll down it doesn't say on this page but it looks like looks it's image reviews image reviews are proven to do better than just text ones. Again just building overall credibility for this store if we have a look at the contact us I'm sure with store with this capability is probably got all the required information they have support staff so they've even got like kind of opening hours again something that you would expect to see from a legitimate business they have a contact number and they also had a head office location too. In summary then it's all the expected contact information that you would expect to find for any business if somebody goes onto your store and there's no email address and no phone number and no physical address it's gonna look like a scam because people want to know they want to be reassured that if there's any issues whatsoever with their payment with that order not arriving that there's gonna be somebody that can that's gonna be on the end of the phone will reply to that email or an even physical address that they can contact. So just make sure you have all of these basics. Just a couple more things then to finish the video on which is quite surprising for products like this given the price and given the target product I mean people only really have one set of knees they still have a really high return in customer rate of 6.85% just shows the quality of the products and how well the product actually does what it promises. If we have a look at their product range there's other things so what I would guess is that people buy this and because it is such a good product they perhaps buy another pair for their partner for a friend or family member or even come back and invest in one of these products too. The other thing I wanted to show you guys as well is not on the screen is on they have a track order at the top which is good because there's information about the orders once they've been shipped. Again all the kind of information that a customer would expect to be able to find out and even though these guys are saying please allow four to six weeks they're still doing really really good numbers. So it just goes to show if you have a really good brand that's built up with a loyal customer base you can still succeed. I mean it says there's gonna be an estimated average of seven to 21 business days which is typical of job shipping but for all the people that post in groups or contact me saying do people really buy the shipping can take this long this is just proof evidence that they do. You just have to have a strong brand and a really good product behind it too. And with that being said guys I'm gonna wrap the video up there. I really hope you enjoyed this.
