Let me know how I can help you succeed with your dropshipping journey. What roadblock you may be on. And just a small tip before we get started. Remember, even if you are on a roadblock, the whole purpose of these roadblocks is to, I mean, it's not intentional, right? But roadblocks, usually what they do is they filter out all of the newbies or amateurs who are just here to make a quick buck. And then those who are who have better, those who are better able to sustain to hold on. And by the way guys, I'm running a little cold. So sorry about the voice. I may blow my nose now and then, but I'm still going to do my best. I'm still a little bit hazy, but I'm not going to give up these live Q&As because I see how much it's helping you guys. And I want to continue doing that. Okay, good morning to Aunt Vina's gifts. And hello to everyone that I haven't said hello to yet. Start chatting in the live chat. Get to know one another. And of course, ask your dropshipping questions because at the second half of this live, I'm going to go through all of your questions and answer all of you guys to the best of my ability and to the best of my knowledge with over five years of dropshipping experience. I don't know if it's six years already. I'm hanging somewhere between five and six. And just a quick history about me. So I joined AutoDS as a customer about five to six years ago, pretty much when the company was just got started. And I really loved everything that this automation tool has to offer. It was much more than what other competitors had. And I just saw it as a really innovative piece of automation technology. So I just joined as a customer just like anyone else. And should be told until this day, I'm still a customer in AutoDS. I'm still using, I'm still automating all my stores through it. Every now and then, when there's an issue, I open up a ticket just like everyone else. And yeah, everything is working fine. We have new features coming out all the time. I'm sure that you guys who have been with us for a while know our roadmap, where we were, where we are today, and all of the amazing things that we have coming up for 2023. I mean, guys, just a couple of years ago, we had eBay as a selling channel. Today we are with eBay, Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce, Facebook Marketplace, Facebook Shops. I don't think I missed out anything, but we have more coming up. The next one coming up is Amazon. So for those of you who want to dropship on Amazon, that is coming up next. And more surprises for 2023 that I currently cannot talk about. But you guys, stay with us. And once again, those of you who have been with us for a while, you know what we do. And you know exactly what, not exactly what we're going to do, but we have so many surprises coming up, as I said. And for those of you who want to see new features, new content, make sure to go to our internal voting system. We have videos on that on YouTube.

Apologies for starting one hour earlier this live session. But yeah, let's get to it, guys. Let's get to it. Let's get to the content. Let's get to the good stuff. Let's get to the action. And that's it. Let's go. So let's start off with some new things that recently came out in AutoDS. And I want to help you guys prepare your stores for 2023. So once again, we had a contest in the last live Q&A. I will announce the winner at the end of this live. And for those of you who didn't have a chance to enter the contest that we started two weeks ago, we're going to start another contest right at the end of this live. So stay tuned until the end. Join the contest. I will be happy to see one of you guys as the lucky winner and enter our 30-day free mentorship program. Okay, so hello. Thank you, Raheem. Hello from Japan. Okay, first time I'm seeing someone from Japan. Hello, Sixtes. Okay, so I'm going to share my screen. I want to show you guys some new updates that recently came out in AutoDS and the system in the content. And then we'll get on to answering your guys' questions after I show you guys some more neat little tricks that I found out in the last few weeks in the dropshipping industry. Okay, so for those of you who are looking for products to sell, this is a pain point for many, many dropshippers, make sure to head over to our blog at autoDS.com slash blog. Today we published a new article called The Top 10 Products to Dropship in January 2023, which is just one, about two weeks away. And we're always here ahead of time. So January's products are already ready. And we're not just telling you, hey, guys, sell these products. We're also doing a lot more than that. We're showing you guys the Facebook ads that people are running. We're showing you guys the seller's websites. We're showing you guys where they found these products, where they're sourcing them from. And pretty much so much, I mean, all of the information here is what you can be using paid tools to get this information. Well, right here it's free. Let me just show you guys one quick example. Okay, product number one, fast charge USB cables. So you have your standard USB cables. Now we have those that actually charge really, really quick. Some phones today can charge in less than two hours from zero to 100% with the help of these fast charging cables. Of course, your phone needs to support it. But basically what you're going to see here is these types of products that are selling for $25 being sourced at just $5. And this seller is making 20 bucks a pop. I mean, every time he's selling this fast USB cable, he sells five cables to make $100 in profit, and he sold way, way more than five. Okay, so what you can do here is click on the seller's Facebook ad. Okay, and then you can see that he runs a nice ad right here showing the product in action, about a thousand engagements. So you know that this one is popular, about 15 comments, 82 shares. And of course, if you click on it, you'll also go to the seller's website. You'll also have the link to their website on our blog. And here you can actually see him. You know, you can actually see the seller's website, this drop shipper, and how good he's doing or how bad he's doing and what you can do to improve and be better than him. Okay, so you have a full explanation on our blog page. Of course, this isn't the final price. He's going to charge you another $6.5.99 for shipping. Therefore, you're going to make it to $25 and is he really buying it for just $2.50? Well, you have the link to the supplier, to the source right here. And if you click on that, then you will get to the supplier. And let's get to that same exact one. So it was this one. Right now we can see that he upped the price to $4.35. We're always going to notice some price changes every now and then. But just make sure that you are choosing shipping with tracking available. So that's another $0.50. So here we're looking at about $4.80, $4.90. Oh yeah, that's actually what we had. I thought it was $2.50. Yeah, so $4.90 is exactly the price. And that's it. That's just product number one, guys. You're going to get the seller's Facebook ads. You're getting their websites. You're getting the supplier's source. So you know how much engagement they're getting. You can get a good feeling of how much sales these sellers are making. And all of this information is passed on to you for nothing. So just go read, accumulate this amazing amount of value, and start using that for your drop shipping stores. Now that doesn't mean that you need to sell that same exact cable. There are so many different variations, and you don't only have to use AliExpress. You can just use that as an example, because that's going to have you're going to have slow shipping times from China in most products. And what you can do is look for a supplier in the domestic country that you are targeting. So for example, if you're drop shipping in the United States, you can go, for example, to a Walmart US or better yet a wholesale like CJ Drop Shipper and CJ Drop Shipping, and look for products in US warehouses. Okay, AliExpress also has products in US warehouses. Try to find suppliers that hold the stock in local warehouses to the country that you're targeting. That way you're going to be able to offer fast shipping times, and your customers will be more than happy to pay you even more than they would pay the Chinese seller in order to get their product faster. Okay, so keep that in mind, and you have so many product recommendations inside these blog articles. Now, of course, I'm also recording videos for these articles, and I'm embedding them inside, but until that happens, go to our blog page, learn about the top 10 products for January, and that's just a small piece of, that's just a very small example of the amount of knowledge that you can get from our blog pages. Okay, hello to everyone, hello to Menace, hello to Milton Silva, hello to learning at MJ. So I'm here to answer all you guys' questions, start asking them in the chat, and don't forget that at the end of this live Q&A, I'm going to announce the winner from the previous live Q&A, who is going to win 30 days free mentorship with Daniel, our number one mentor. And at the end of this live, if you didn't have a chance to enter a previous giveaway, stay until the end of this live, because you will be able to enter the next one, and hopefully maybe you will be our next lucky winner. Okay, so that's just a little bit about our blog. Okay, so don't forget to go there, see all of the content that we have. So we have the top products in January. Before that, we have the top 10 drop shipping service providers, private label versus white label, which is the best for your business, the drop shipping business model, if you haven't gotten into it yet, go and read now about the advantages and disadvantages, and learn all of the ins and outs, how to start a successful drop shipping business in 2023.

So if you guys want to create a website on WooCommerce, that's also going to come up. One of the next articles in our blog page, the top home decor products, how to use Google Lens, which is an amazing strategy to be able to find where sellers are sourcing their products.

Okay, so that's a little bit about the YouTube channel, our blog page, and like I mentioned, that giveaway that we had last week. Okay, this is an example of what we had in the previous live Q&A. So don't write in the live chat box, wait until the end of the live. And at the end of the live, just go down to the comment section. Don't forget to like and share, guys. But at the end, go to our comment section. And at the end of this live, you're going to write hashtag automate. And in the previous live, it was what your goals are for 2023.

And anyone did it correctly who replied with hashtag automate and then wrote their goals for 2023. As you see, we replied, thank you for sharing your goals. You have successfully entered our 30 day free mentorship contest. And at the end of this live session, I'm going to choose one lucky winner from all of these commenters right here. I just want to give a shout out to some of you guys who really put out some really, really nice goals for 2023. I don't want to go over them now, but you guys have some really nice goals here. I went through all of them one by one. And I really hope that you guys are going to be able to reach these goals, because I can see how creative you guys are. I can see how much motivation you guys have. And that's already, you're already halfway to reaching your success story. Okay, it all starts off with motivation without motivation. We have nothing to help us move forward. Okay, so nice to read about all of that. And I hope that at the end of this live, you guys are also going to join the next contest, because I really want to see as many people enter our contest giveaways. And of course, win our 30 day free mentorship. Okay, so that's just a little what's going on in auto DS recently, what we have on our blog page, what we have on our YouTube channel, the type of content that we have to offer. And as you know, guys, there is so much content that's that came out and that's going to come out. So we're always here to help you guys with in your dropshipping journey. Sorry, guys, I'm a little hazy today. I had a pretty bad cold yesterday. Now I'm like kind of half half. You know, I took an Advil right before this session so that I could do it to the best of my ability. Right, so let's get on to it guys. Let's prepare our stores for 2023. This is what you guys need to do right now, because we're almost at 2023. We're at the end of December. And yeah, January 2023, what happens usually in my last five to six cycles of, you know, finishing a year and starting a new year. So from my experience, what I noticed is that my sales from January usually continue from December sales. So many store owners think that December is like the peak and then from January, everything starts to decrease. But I usually notice the end of the year decrease somewhere in February and not right away in January because people are still shopping online. Many people are still doing it. And usually the sales from December continue through January two, at least in my case. Hopefully it's the same for all of you guys. It really depends on what products you're selling. And hopefully you guys are not just selling seasonal products. So as soon as the season ends, you know, you're going to stop making sales. It's always good to have your stores about 20% seasonal and 80% evergreen, which is products that sell all year long that don't rely on a certain season to sell. Hello to everyone who's joining your live Q&A. Hello, Gamers Paradise. I see all you guys who are joining. Ask your questions in the live chat. I'm going to get to all of them soon. And the next thing that I want to talk about, I don't know if you guys know, I don't know if you guys noticed this, but there is a new technology out there, a new artificial intelligence technology out there. And it's called Chat GPT. Can you guys let me know in the chat if you guys have heard of Chat GPT? Okay, let me know in the chat if you've heard about this AI bot and what it can do, because I want to show you guys a few tips on how this is going to help skyrocket at least the text part of your dropshipping businesses, whether it's creating blog pages, whether it's brainstorming new ideas, whether it's creating ad copies, whether it's creating social media posts. Have you guys heard of Chat GPT? Tennell says yes. What about the rest of you guys? Did anyone hear about Chat GPT? Your answer can be either yes or no. I want to know. And also, if this is interesting for you guys to learn some of the best methods how this can help your dropshipping businesses, because this technology just got started. And now that it's out for the public, we can kind of start to sense the power of artificial intelligence and where it's going to take us in the next one to five and 10 years. It's an amazing technology. I've been reading about artificial intelligence for several good years now. And finally, we're starting to have a little glimpse. And this small little glimpse, I have so many ideas and I'm already implementing it in my store, like the product descriptions. If you guys want to know how I'm using Chat GPT with my business, let me know. So I see two yeses so far and two no's. So not everybody knows about Chat GPT. I'm going to show you guys a quick sample of how it can help you guys. And if you guys really like it, let me know because I'm using it a lot right now in my stores. And I'm going to show you guys a few use cases of examples of how you can use it in your stores. And after we do that, let me know because in the next live Q&A session, if it's really interesting for you guys, I can make it all about artificial intelligence, Chat GPT and other forms of artificial intelligence, like Dolly too, to create images, to create AI images for your stores, whether it's cover images, logos and all kinds of things. And simply have a full session about artificial intelligence because that's it. It's in diapers right now, but it's out to the public and you can already use it to skyrocket your businesses. And I found it's simply amazing. Everyone that I show it to, they don't know about it at first. And then after I show it to them, they're mind blown. Okay. And I'm sure that same is going to happen to you guys. Okay. So some know about it. Some don't know about it. Let me show you guys a small example. And let me know if this is interesting for you. Okay. I want to share my screen. And this is Chat GPT low and behold. Okay. Let me know if you guys enjoy what I'm about to show you. So this is public. Anyone can use Chat GPT, just make a quick Google search. And let me show you guys one quick example of what you can do with it. So you know how sometimes you have really bad product descriptions when you're importing products from AliExpress or from even Amazon and Walmart who are US sellers, but many Chinese, I'm sure that, you know, those of you who have been here for a while, you notice that when you're in product research, you notice that a lot of products have really bad product descriptions like the English is bad. And you can just tell that it's not a real US seller. It's a Chinese seller who just took it to a US warehouse and wrote a really bad product. So this is one example of how you can make your product pages optimize much better. And it'll only take you one minute or less. And you'll also have a completely unique product page with text that nobody else is using. So let me just open up any product here. Okay, I want to look for a product with a bad description. I don't like how AliExpress gives you the wrong language, but let's just change it up. Okay, so this cat toy right here, let's scroll down to the product description. And this one didn't even write a product description. I mean, that's just horrible. So yeah, I just want to find a product really quick guys with a bad description. And I want to show you because most products have product descriptions and AliExpress is just not so friendly anymore. Let's open up another one. So is it just me or are sellers getting lazy? Yeah, it looks like sellers are getting lazy here like just images, no descriptions anymore, no text, no SEO for Google search engine. Let's keep this going because I really want to show you guys. Okay, here we go. Features easy to use the water can push out as long as pushing gently. So you guys see that the English here is really bad, right? The water can push out as long as pushing gently, not needing to press. Anyway, this is those really, really bad product descriptions. What I'm going to do right here is I'm simply going to copy this text. Okay, this really, really bad text with bad spacing, bad grammar, bad spelling and everything. Then I'm going to go to chat GPT and I'm going to write rewrite this product description. I'm going to paste it and hit enter. Now let's see what it generates for us. Okay, usually takes it less than a second. Here we go. Revised product description. This portable bottle is perfect for keeping your pet hydrated and nourished while on the go. Made of food grade ABS plastic, it is heat resistant and meets FDA requirements for safety and non-texicity. The bottle is available in green, pink and white. It has a capacity of 300 milliliters with 100 grams of food or 550 milliliters with 100 gram of food. One of the standout features of this bottle is it's easy to use design. Now, first of all, you guys notice that the English here is great. It's professional. The text is unique. There's no plagiarism here. And that's pretty much it. The package includes one dog water feeder. And we have a perfect product description right here. So where's the bad one? This is the bad one. No sentences, just bad text. And here we have it laid out in short paragraphs, very engaging. And you can also tell it rephrase in bullet points. And it remembers, it will always remember the previous chat. So what it's going to do now is it's going to break this down into bullet points if that's the kind of thing that you want to have on your product page. It's taking a little bit longer than usual to think right now, but it's just a server. It's probably at a large capacity right now. But here we go, bullet points, portable bottle design for keeping pets hydrated and nourished while on the go, made of food grade ABS plastic. Now, you guys can do two things here. One is you can copy this text. So you have like a written text in short paragraphs that's engaging and has all the right information. And then you can also add the bullet points. Now granted, the bullet points are pretty much repeating what we have here in the text, but it will give you a more structurized product page. And this is a completely optimized product page text for your products instead of using these really bad descriptions that we're getting from most of the sellers that we're importing these products from. That is just one use case idea that you can use chat GPT to really to just generate better text for your product pages. Now, once again, guys, you can do more things. See, that's kind of dark here. Let me just turn the lighting up a little bit. Remember, guys, you can do more things with chat GPT. You can write complete blog articles. You can create social media posts. You can also help it with your marketing. Okay, let me just show you one more quick example. Let's just say you're writing Facebook ads for this portable dog feeder. Okay, so it remembers the product information. I don't have to remind it what we're talking about. I'm just going to say now create an engaging ad copy for this product. Use emojis. Enter. Let's see what we're going to get zooming in so you guys can see it better. So we have a dog emoji. Keep your furry friend hydrated and well fed on the go with our pet portable bottle. And then we have a cat emoji. So it's good for dogs. It's good for cats. Chat GPT knows that and use both emojis with a capacity of 350 to 550. This bottle holds enough water and food for your pet's needs while you're out and about made of durable food grade ABS plastic. The easy to use design allows you to dispense water with just a gentle push and no need to worry about leaks. The silicone the silicone sealing rings. The silicone sealing rings keeps water inside the bottle where it belongs. Take this bottle out with you on your next walk or trip with your pet comes with one bottle per package. Get yours today. Do you guys realize what's going on here or is it just me? I mean this is a really, really good ad copy. They made it engaging. They're speaking out to the buyer the way that you're supposed to speak out to online shoppers when running ads. And this is just nothing short of amazing. Now if I go to a plagiarism checker, even if you try writing whole blog articles with chat GPT, you're going to get that. You're going to get no plagiarism. I've gotten the most five to six percent, which is normal, but everything here is unique. All of these ideas, you don't need to do much to get them. Now if you ask me, is this going to completely take over our jobs? Does this mean that we don't need to hire virtual assistants to come up with these creatives for us or have us save us hours and hours of doing it? The answer is yes. It's going to save all of these problems for you. But on the other hand, do not completely put all of your trust or all of your, don't let this do all of the work for you. Let this be kind of an assistant that helps you out with your creatives. So we can take this text and of course kind of optimize it, like have a better call to action, give them some kind of maybe a discount coupon code, maybe change the emojis around a little bit or take out things like food grade, ABS plastic, you know, which maybe not everyone is searching for or cares about when they're reading ads. So you can play around with it and of course optimize and make it your own. But you can do so many other more things here. Okay. Last example. Oh, I can see them are blowing people's minds. All right, guys, am I blowing anyone else's mind? For those who haven't heard about this, those who have heard about it, that's great. I can teach you guys some new methods, but those who haven't heard about it, let me know if it's just my mind being blown here or yours also. So another use case example of chat GPT. And I'm going to leave it with this one because this live Q&A cannot be all about this. But there are so many use cases for this, for anywhere that you're selling on. So let me know guys, if you also want the next live Q&A to be on the topic of artificial intelligence, because I'm just getting started right here. One last example, let's say that you guys are thinking or you guys kind of want to introduce yourselves to a new niche. Okay, you want to kind of think about brainstorm new product ideas for next year. You want to really write out 2023 and outshine your competition. And this is one of the ways to do it because not everyone in the world knows about chat GPT. And not everyone in the world is going to watch this live Q&A. So you guys are going to have that upper hand advantage. All right, there we go. This is what I like seeing. So it is a game changer. Yes, it is a game changer. Yes, it is mind blowing. And yes, 6% plagiarism. I just found it rephrases a sentence and your article becomes plagiarism free. That is correct. Okay guys, let's let's have one more example. So this time let's go with let's say you're thinking of what niche you want to sell next year. So now I'm going to write list 10 customer pain points for online store niche ideas for 2023. So I want to find out what are the biggest customer pain points today because when you can find a problem and offer a solution, that's what's going to get the customer to buy. And I want to find out what the biggest pain points are right now. Okay, so let's give a search for this. And this will simply help you generate great ideas of maybe, you know, what category you should be looking into for okay, so I need to rephrase this one because it thinks that I'm looking for look difficulty finding products that fit their needs or preferences. It's giving me pain points, pain points for people who own online stores. So let me kind of rephrase this list 10 niche ideas for 2023. Focus on online shoppers, pain points. I don't know if I phrased that correctly, but let's take a look. You have to learn about, I mean, the future is going into not what you know how to do, but if you know how to ask the right question in order to get the answers. Okay, sustainable and ethically sourced products. Many consumers are becoming more environmentally and socially conscious and are looking for products that align with their values. That's true. So green products, you know, echo echo green products. Those that don't cause harm to the globe. Those that don't help worsen the climate change, customize and personalize products. Some shoppers may have specific needs or preferences that can be met by mass produced products. So in other words, print on demand. And if you guys want to learn about print on demand, it's starting to take over the internet by storm. Check out our blog page, check out our YouTube channel, search for print on demand and learn how to get started subscription based models. So that of course is great. Make sure that you're getting your email, make sure that you're getting your customers email subscriptions. The giving a service is not fitting for the dropshipping business model, but that's gone on fast and reliable shipping. That of course, every customer is looking for that, but I'm looking more for like niches, easy returns and exchanges. We always talk about those things, high quality products. We're talking about those things all the time, easy website navigation. So this is more like what features you need to have in your store. They didn't get to the exact reliable customer service and personalized recommendations. These are tips that we're always giving out. It wasn't getting to exactly what I wanted it to, but you get the idea. And actually the last time I searched for it, it gave me some pretty good ideas. Let's try it one last time. List 10 niche ideas that I should sell online in 2023 straight to the point. Let's see what answers I'm going to get here and I'm going to leave it at this. Sustainable and eco-friendly products, personalized and customized products. We talked about those two, subscription based. We talked, we saw that already. Okay, here we go. Natural and organic beauty and skin care products. That's definitely a billion, even more. Selling annual niche, specialty and niche food items. Unique and unusual home decor items. So unusual, focus on that. Handmade and artisanal products. So we have Etsy for, you know, you can get ideas from Etsy on that. Ethically sourced and fair trading clothing and accessories. Unique and unusual gifts and vintage and retro items, which once again, it looks like Etsy is going to have a good year in 2023 if you ask me. But of course you guys can all drop ship these products on your selling channels too. Okay, that's just another use case example, guys. I have so many, but I'm not going to waste all my time on chat GPT. I want to start answering your guys' questions. So for those of you who haven't asked questions yet, do it right now because I'm about to answer your questions in the live chat box.

Okay, I'm going to start with the questions. Let's get started. Has it started? Yes, we started one hour to early one hour earlier, guys. Sorry about it. The next live Q&A is going to start one hour later at the usual time. Hi, so hello to everyone who said hello, I'm answering questions right now. And stay tuned because you are going to enter our next live giveaway giveaway as soon as this live Q&A ends. Once again, the hashtag automate with how drop shipping automation is helping your business. Hello from Australia. Hello from Israel. Hello from the United Kingdom. Good morning. Hey, man, first I want to say I love your content and I understand like I don't and I understand like I don't understand. Okay, thanks Milton Silva. I think what you're trying to say is you're understanding our content. It's easier to understand our content than it is to understand others. Good to know. Happy to hear. So guys, where are the questions? How can I help you guys? Where are you guys stuck at? Where is your drop shipping business at? Noticing the buy prices and change on DS when Amazon has price reductions. Does my profit is not correct in auto DS? For me, it doesn't happen. But if you have problems with price stock monitoring, just open up a ticket and of course it'll get solved. Hello. Hello to learning at MJ. Guys, remember technical questions. Leave that for technical support. Thank you, Rahim Ali. I hope you're doing well. Sorry, guys, I have a call for those of you who just joined now. Please tell me if I have the same address as my wife, can I use the same address in a stealth account in her name, but just change the way I write, for example, straight to STR or something? Yeah, that's actually what I'm doing. So my main store is on my name. My second store is on my wife's name. It's the same address. I just changed some small things like the apartment number. On one, I disclosed the apartment number. On the second, I didn't. Really small change like that. But the main thing is make sure it's not the same phone number because the phone number verification will, if it's the same phone number, then they'll be able to connect link between the accounts. Of course, that you're running stealth correctly. So there's absolutely no distinguishing between the two accounts, not in terms of IP address, not in terms of the same computer or connecting to the same router. So make sure that you're doing it correctly. And for those of you who want to learn more about how to stealth correctly, we also have a pretty good explanation on that. So go to our YouTube channel. And here you want to search for the few methods, but this is one of my favorites, multi-login. And then here, you'll have an interview that I conducted with Stan, one of the founders of multi-login. And here, you're pretty much going to learn all the ins and outs, how to get it done. He also gave you a quick walk through the tool. And this is a pretty good way to do it. One of my recommendations for those of you who want to push forward with having multiple accounts that are not linked to one another. Hello, Menace. The marketplace will be fully supported in UK. And also, when will it be supported with the Autodesk Finder? I'm not sure. You should look into our internal voting system and see if there are people who voted for it. And if so, you'll see if it's in the plans or if it's in progress or it's probably not done yet because we don't have that feature. And if nobody created a vote for that, then you can create a new vote. And when people, enough people will upvote it, we'll get that feature rolling next. What is your production value? I have no idea what you mean by that. What advice do you have to dropship on eBay from outside the USA? So I'm dropshipping from outside the USA. I'm dropshipping to eBay USA. I'm doing it for about, for more than five years now. Just as long as you're doing it correctly, you shouldn't have any problems. But starting a new account is more challenging than running an older, an older season account. But it's still possible. And there are many people who also offer service providers that simply give you these eBay accounts and help you upgrade your limits. But basically the best advice that I have for you, check this out. So go to our blog. You know what? Let's just keep it on YouTube. Since we're on YouTube, let's keep it on YouTube. Just go to our YouTube channel. And here in the, just scroll down on the front page, you have the full tutorials for beginners. Check out this one. How to sell on eBay for beginner dropshippers. Okay. This is a full video. It's about here an hour and 23 minutes long. I walked you through step by step everything that you need to do, everything that you need to know, how to start your seller account, how to upgrade your limits, how to create your business policies, how to add your first listings, how to add automation, how to research the right products to sell, how to raise your limits more and more, how to work around the flagged issues, and everything else that pretty much comes with it. I mean, all the info is right here in this video. And as you can see, it's a pretty popular video. I helped over 75,000 people from what I'm seeing, 370 people commented. Most of them that simply had a good thing to say about this and how it helped them, not 100% that, but of course that's the most part. You can just see here just by the comments. This is a really, really good walkthrough. So to answer your question without finishing the live answering this question, that's where you should go next to learn about eBay dropshipping. Do you have any idea what there's going to be a fulfilled by AutoDS for Germany? I'm not sure, but once again, guys, we have an internal voting system. I see that I need to showcase it. So what I need to, what you guys need to do is just go to the AutoDS system, click on the circle here on the top right. I'm not sure if you guys see it, but it's there. Then you have a feature request. So I'm going to click on that. And then here you guys can see that we have hundreds and hundreds of feature requests from all kinds of different topics. And then we have things that are planned. For example, Amazon, Australia automation, price range for the AutoDS Finder, automatically topping up your fulfilled by AutoDS balance, adding Etsy as a marketplace. So another selling channel, Etsy is going to come up. And so those are the things that we have planned for the development team. The developers are currently working on what we have here in progress. So as you can see, dropshipping on Amazon, that's the next selling channel that's coming up next. We had 40 people upvote for that one. A bundling option for the products importer, automatic orders for the fulfilled by AutoDS, fulfilled by AutoDS for Facebook marketplace and many more and things that go live. So for example, the last feature that went live is also using credit card to top up your fulfilled by AutoDS balance and not just using Payoneer or PayPal, adding eBay Australia as a supplier, changing the currency on the dashboard. So for those of you who are not working with a USD currency, you can see the currency that you're working at now and more and more and more. So guys, all of these ideas, just search for them on the Unumvote. And if you don't see it there, then create your vote. And that way people are going to be able to upvote it. And we're going to work on that next. When on Ali dropshipping page, I choose US warehouse and I find a product. It always says it's not shipped to address provided. Also on Ali main product page says 10 to 14 days, but it's longer. Yeah, you can take Ali express as an indication. You still will find products that ship within two to four days from the US. But many times when you're searching, the search filter doesn't give you the results correctly. So you're going to have to jump between several products before until you find one that actually is being stored in the US. But if you're really up to looking for products in US warehouses, I would move on to other suppliers that actually specialize in the US. We have a lot of content on that in our blog page and on our YouTube channel so you can get all of the help that you need there. Does Autodesk does not include the tax of the product when it buys it? Yeah, it doesn't include the tax because Autodesk cannot guess what the tax is. Some suppliers charge tax, some others, some states require tax and some don't. So there's no reason to charge tax when the system doesn't know if tax will be charged and how much tax will be charged. So that is something that you need to take into consideration. So what I do in this case is when I'm dropshipping from a US supplier and I know that I'm going to get charged tax or even if I don't know, I take that into my break even calculation anyway. So for example, if I have 15% break even dropshipping from eBay, then I'm either going to raise that break even to 25% because I'm going to add another 10% of tax, which could be more because the eBay break even fees is taken from the selling price and the tax is taken from the source price. So it's kind of different, but I'm going to give myself a 10% delta here. So instead of 15% break even, I'm going to make it 25% or I can also have it the other way around. I can have 15% break even on eBay, but instead of 40% profit, I'm going to have 50 or 55% extra profit. Doesn't matter which way you decide to go. Once you get the order, you'll have the final profit calculation. Then you can add the sales tax and see how much you really profited there, but you'll always be on a safe side if you're taking the tax into consideration. And then when you don't get charged tax, then that's extra profit for your pocket. Okay, let's continue with the questions. This is a good idea. You're talking about this is so we're talking about chat GPT, right? So if you guys want the next live Q and A session to be all about artificial intelligence and how it can help you with your e-commerce stores, I'm not just going to talk about chat GPT. That will be the main issue, but there's more of them. Once again, we're just at the start of this whole AI and there's just so much that it can already do right off the bat to help us with our stores. And I'm already using it for every product that I import to my store. So if you guys want the next live Q and A session to be all about this, let me know and I'll make it about that. By the way, guys, remember at the end of this live Q and A, you'll have a chance to enter our next 30 day mentorship giveaway. So at the end of this live Q and A, first of all, what I'm going to do is I'm going to announce the winner from the previous one and then we'll start the next one right away. As soon as this live Q and A session ends, go to the comment session right below, hashtag automate comment hashtag automate with how drop shipping automation is helping your e-commerce business and you will automatically enter our next 30 day free mentorship giveaway. Okay. So here we're talking about chat GPT, game changer, mind blowing, new niche. When will marketplaces be fully supported in UK and also out of the S Finder? I think I answered that one with using Upvotee. How to find perfect suitable products for my eBay store. Okay. So Mujir Ahmed, this is a great question and it has all to do with product research. Now there are many ways of conducting product research. And if you're just a beginner, then you need to have some basic product ideas that are working really well today, take these ideas and expand them even more. So my first tip is to simply head over to our blog page and read this article that was just published today. So get ahead of everyone else. You have top 10 products to drop ship for January 2023. All of the products are listed here and you have links to the seller's Facebook ads, to their stores, to their sources. And here you'll just find really, really profitable products. And this is already going to give you the first idea of what products you should probably be focusing on. And when you guys get these ideas, remember to not just add one product, right? So let's say this one right here, next supporting round pillow. Okay. We got the info right here. We can make at least $17 in profit according to this seller's history right here. I'm not going to show it now, but let's say you want to add this next supporting pillow to your list. So I'm going to search for it right here and make sure that you're adding at least 20 different product variations from every product idea that I'm passing on in these blog articles in the videos because you can't really test the market with just one product. Okay. You want to test out as much as possible. This way, you'll always find those that stand out from the others, those that actually start to sell. And then your next step from that is to simply multiply yourselves by adding more products similar to those that are working well for you while continuing to test the market for more niches. Okay. So to answer your question, the first thing that you should do is head over to our blog page. Second thing you should do is head over to our YouTube channel. Okay. Because here we have thousands of more products that you can resell. Go to the playlist that's called sell these now. And here you have more and more. Okay. For example, high profit margin products that was just published the other day. And as you can see right here, we've helped, not only have we helped out a lot of people, but you're going to get the whole explanation here. So what products you should be selling. If you're the type that likes to watch, you can just watch. I go through everything, the products, the ads that are running for it, or the sources where they're getting it from, how much they're profiting. And here in high profits, you're going to find products that are making 100, 200 and even $500 in profit in just one sale and also show you the success of these products, the success that these sellers are having when selling these products. Okay. So start from there and let me know how it goes. That's just awesome. Thank you. I agree with you. I'm beginning about to kickstart my dropshipping journey in the UK. That's great. How do I find local warehouses in the UK? And does AutoDS have a mentorship option I can explore. So the answers are yes and yes. First of all, let's start with learning about the UK. So head over to, you guys guessed it, our blog page or YouTube channel. Okay. I'm just going to go to autoDS.com, hover over resources, click on blog. And then here I'm going to search for the words UK. Okay. Do the same on our YouTube channel. Okay. So let's go to our YouTube channel. Go to our channel.

I cannot be able to accelerate the sell to the next level. Okay, let me know exactly what you're selling at, what suppliers you're using, but let's save that for the next session. What informs the choice of eBay, Shopify, Facebook or Amazon as a platform to use? It really depends on what you're looking for in your business. Start by learning the basics of each. Okay, we have everything on our blog page on our YouTube channel. Search for each selling platform and see which one you think suits you best. Okay, it's hard to answer just on top, just on top of my mind like that. But if you live in the U.S., I would start with Facebook marketplace dropshipping. Otherwise, eBay, Shopify, Wix and WooCommerce requires a little bit more technical information, but anything can be learned. When will marketplace be fully supported? We answered that. My personal Facebook account has been permanently restricted. Should I create a new one? Will that be restricted as well? What I suggest to do first of all is try this trick that I also uploaded to our YouTube channel. Search for Facebook. This is how I unblock my suspended Facebook marketplace account because the same thing happened to me too. I also helped out a lot of people here too. Let's continue. Hello, everyone who's just joining. You pretty much joined at the end of the live, but it's okay because at the end of this live, you're going to enter our next contest giveaway, so stay tuned and I'll give you info on that when I get to it. When you suggest running your first Facebook ad, as soon as you listed your first product, your product page looks good and you're ready to start marketing it, you can already get started. And by the way, to help you with that, just head over. You guys probably understand. You know that I'm going with this, but head over to our website, hover over resources and now click on eBooks. And here you have how to run Facebook ads for eCommerce stores in eight steps. Okay, click on unlock your eBook. It's all you have. It's free. Just enter your name and email address and these are the topics. So you're going to go with everything, creating a Facebook ads account, Facebook page, audience research, creating the ads, launching your ad sets, learning how to analyze it, how to target it correctly, and so forth. Do you know a good payment provider for IL? IL? Illinois? Israel? What is IL? A global one so that I can take payments from anywhere. Just let me know what IL is. Good morning, Zenly. What is a good place to start for a beginner? Autodesk.com, hover over resources and go to our blog page. We also have free courses on our website. Just hover over resources on our website, get to know every selling channel, get to know all the ins and outs, and see where you want to start. What profit percentage do you recommend on each product? It depends on the product, it depends on the target audience, but start with no less than 20%. You can even go higher than that, but I think that's a good place to start with. Every time you make sales, you can also use Autodesk's price automation tool to increase your prices automatically for items that are selling well so that you can sell them for a higher profit. When they stop to sell, then it starts to decrease the price until it really finds a sweet spot in the middle, of course, with your set limitations for the top and the bottom so you won't go too high or lose any profits. From Japan, I wanted to ask, when starting, is it compulsory to use credit card? You can use credit card, PayPal, Payoneer, or whatever's comfortable. Can you run your account with credit card? Yes, but depends on the Autodesk account, yes, but the selling channels and the suppliers, it depends on what they support. What is the max shipping time you have in a product, 15 days? I don't go as far as 15, I do go as far as 10, but that's just me. How to import products from suppliers, which is not in the Autodesk list, you can simply add them to your selling channels manually. So if you're drop shipping on eBay, click on list an item and do it manually, and if you're drop shipping on Shopify, click on add product and do it manually, and so forth, but that way you won't have price and stock monitoring and the rest of the automation settings. My selling limits reduced eBay account because eBay found that the drop shipping and eBay customer care is against drop shipping 30 days to request limit. What can I do? So that's why I always advise guys, ever since the flagging thing came out, and I'm still working with at least a couple of flagged eBay drop shipping stores and still making great profits because I've got thousands of listings. You need to first have as much selling limits as you can and then start drop shipping because when they flagged your account, you won't be able to raise your limits. You'll still be able to continue drop shipping, but you won't be able to raise your limits. So take that into consideration. I explained that in my eBay tutorials and I have another fully eBay tutorial coming up next month on our YouTube channel. I go through all of this and the right way to start, so it'll be easier for you guys. Plus we have new methods that are going to come out next year that will help you guys not get your account flagged in the first place while still drop shipping from all over the place. Okay, we're still working on this, but you'll get it. Can you explain dynamic policies to Talbot, please? Yes. So what that does is it simply creates policies automatically, your payment policies, your shipping policies, your return policies according to what the supplier that you're adding the product from supports. Guys, I want to announce the winner. Have you found Temu? Is it good for drop shipping? I haven't heard of it. Would you recommend AliExpress US warehouse for UK dropshipper over China? Yes. For better shipping times? Yes, most likely, but better if you just go from UK to UK. As I explained earlier, just keep it domestic and it'll be fastest that way. I have an issue when drop shipping from Amazon to eBay. My product gets put on hold on Autodesk because the supplier will ship in 14 days, but when I go on Amazon, it says the next day delivery. I'll just open up a support ticket. I'm not sure what the issue is there, but it shouldn't be an issue. Do you know any good payment provider that accept global payments? Once again, I don't know if you're from Illinois or Israel or any other country state that goes with IL. How many products do you add a day without getting flagged? It doesn't have to do with how much you're adding a day. As long as you're drop shipping, even if you're drop shipping from a wholesale supplier and not just retailers, you're still going to get flagged. It's best to just increase your limits as much as you can before you actually get started with it so that you won't have any issues making sales and profits. Guys, first of all, not in the live chat. Second of all, in a few minutes when I end this live comment, hashtag automate below this video and then write a sentence on how drop shipping automation is helping or will help your e-commerce business if you haven't gotten started yet and you will enter the next contest. I'm going to finish this right now because I want to start the lottery and show you guys the winner from the last live Q&A. Can you explain how eBay will be big in 2023 and how Autodesk will integrate and benefit its users? Yes. Yes, I would love to do that but I'm out of time for this one. I'm interested. Okay. I see that you guys are, how do you find suppliers in the UK? Search our blog page and our YouTube channel. Sorry that I can't show it to you because I have to announce the winner from the previous contest and start the next contest so all of you guys can enter. But just once again, ask it in the next live session. Wrong again. I'm starting eBay in Japan. Okay. What's the question? How to make it wrong again? How do you run? Good morning. I have an order in Autodesk and shows error on FBA. Item was pepper spray. It says does not ship to give an address. It was from Amazon. Is it okay to cancel the order? Try fulfilling it manually first and see if it really can be fulfilled. If it can't then try another one that's similar to it but really similar and if you still can then maybe are you trying to drop ship to California? I think because that place has some issues with some certain products and it's better to just end the listing for those types of products so that it doesn't sell again to that country. But yeah, you can in the worst case try not to do it much but cancel the order after a couple of days, let the customer know that it was lost in transit and you'll be happy to send them out another one. If they would want it to just let you know if they are still interested in the product and you will let them know when you'll be able to ship it again. Okay and of course you won't be able to but that's how I usually elegantly get out of these situations. Should a beginner start with Shopify or Autodesk? Why not both? So when you have Shopify and Autodesk you're actually automating your Shopify business with price monitoring, stock monitoring, automatic orders and so much more. So you really want to be using both. When is the continued video of Shopify coming? You mean the case study Raheem? I don't remember if I have it planned I'll check after this live. I want to see if enough people voted to see the continuation of that case study. Is it okay to use dynamic policies and Autodesk fulfilled by Autodesk? Yeah, sure. Fulfilled by Amazon? Yeah. Minimum how many products do you have to upload into your account? You don't have a minimum but the more products you're selling the higher the chance that you'll have to actually make sales and profit and test the market even better. So of course you want to listen as much as possible. What is the best way to cover taxes on buying an item when they vary depending on shipping address? So it depends if you're dropshipping on eBay, eBay covers the sales tax for you. If you're dropshipping on Shopify, you have to configure the sales tax depending on the countries that you're dropshipping to. So I can't answer without actually knowing. Guys, now is the time for it, but don't do it in the live chat. He did answer correctly, but do it in the comment section after the live is over, which is just a couple of minutes from now. Okay, guys, the time has come. I'm going to announce the winner from the previous live Q&A. Don't go anywhere because I want you guys to enter the next contest after this live over.
