So if you like being the early birds before the competition arrives now is the time and this is the video for you quick intro and let's go. What's up everyone hope you're all having a wonderful day today my name is Liran from AutoDS I'm the content manager and I've also been dropshipping for the last several years and in this video I'm going to teach you guys how you can dropship on the Facebook marketplace not only while I be teaching you guys how to do everything from A to Z I'll also give you a quick glimpse into my Facebook marketplace account so you guys can see exactly what I'm doing on that account what products I'm selling how much I'm profiting so that you can copy the same practices on your Facebook marketplace stores. So without further ado let's go ahead and begin this video one second before that if you are new to our channel this is the kind of content that we deliver along with suppliers, marketplaces, product research, dropshipping strategies, interviews, success stories and so much more. Click that subscribe button, enable those notifications and let's go. Most of the things that I'm going over in this video you'll be able to read in the blog right below this video I'll leave a link to that but do stay tuned in this video because I'm offering so much more valuable information than what you'll be able to read below. So let's start from the beginning what is Facebook marketplace dropshipping for those who don't know. So dropshipping is a business model where you can fulfill your orders and simply run and manage an online store without the burden of buying and holding any inventory. So it's really easy to get started in this type of business model and that is because it requires no initial investment you only pay once you get paid but what you do need is the right knowledge and that is exactly what I'm passing on to you in this video. So dropshipping is that business model where you can fulfill orders without holding any stock you upload products from your supplier and you only pay once you get paid you purchase the product once you get a sale and you ship it directly from your supplier to the customer. Now the next question that people usually ask is how to find products to dropship on the Facebook marketplace. One second before we get to that I want to talk about the requirements for a second. If you don't live in the US or you don't have a US IP address and a social security number it will be very difficult for you to dropship on the Facebook marketplace and that is because you won't have the shipping options when you're creating a new listing and the shipping options will allow 50 states in the US to be able to see your listing since you can ship out to all of them but if you don't live in the US Facebook will not enable the shipping options for you then you'll only be able to select a specific location where you can list your product on and not so many people are going to see that listing. So if you don't live in the US or if you don't have a US IP address and a social security number for verification once you hit $500 in sales you should not consider dropshipping on the Facebook marketplace at this time but I will definitely keep you guys updated if I hear any news that this is now working for international sellers. So US IP address social security number those are the two requirements to begin dropshipping on the Facebook marketplace of course you're going to need a computer an internet connection and the will to learn. How do I find products to dropship on the Facebook marketplace and not just any products but the products that will sell will make us some profit because that is what we are here to do at the end of the day. So let me show you exactly how I find my products and I'll even show you in a couple of minutes my Facebook marketplace account which products I'm selling where I'm getting them from because everything that I'm doing is exactly what I'm teaching you I want you guys to succeed with your dropshipping stores too. So this is exactly how I'm doing it but one second before that make sure that you've got your Facebook marketplace account active on auto DS let me show you how you can do that so that you can really automate your store add products in just a couple of minutes instead of taking much more time than that and also automating your price and your stock monitoring so that if something goes out of stock on your supplier side the product will also go out of stock on your Facebook marketplace store and if there are any price changes the price will also change accordingly on your Facebook marketplace store and on your auto DS account this is a must for anyone who wants to have lots of listings without refreshing their supplier's pages every day to see what's going on with the stock and the prices those people who really want to scale and make great profits it cannot be done without automation so this is how it is done first let's head to the auto DS platform if you don't have an auto DS account simply head to autoDS.com register for your account get your one week for only one dollar give it a try and see if you guys like it I'm sure that you're going to like what you see especially when you learn how to drop ship the right way so first things first is you want to make sure that you have your Facebook marketplace subscription active so once you're inside click on settings on the left side then go to plans and add-ons and here make sure that the Facebook marketplace plan is active once you do that on the left side once again on top click on your stores or click on add store if you don't have any stores yet then click on add store right over here and you'll have an option an eBay store Shopify store or a Facebook store in this case we are going with the Facebook selling channel so click on Facebook store enter your store's name and I won't do it now because I already connected my store but just continue with the setup process it's actually very simple and once your store is added you'll be able to see it right here on the left side so again I'm going to click on my stores and I've got my store right over here so this is exactly how you're going to add your Facebook store right after you add the Facebook marketplace plan once you do that you can start adding products through AutoDS and then simply upload it to the Facebook marketplace let me show you how that is done before that we're going to see how to find the best dropshipping products to sell on the Facebook marketplace so let's go ahead and have a look here is my personal strategy for finding products to sell on the Facebook marketplace the products that will sell now the biggest advantage that we have here is that it's definitely an untapped marketplace which means not a lot of people are dropshipping on it right now so you don't have to do any competitor research at all and this is one of the best things that I love about this you don't have to see what your competitors are doing you don't have to try to copy other people's practices you can simply go to your suppliers pages go to your suppliers websites see the best selling products and start adding them to the Facebook marketplace because no one is selling them there and the target potential audience is simply sitting there waiting to see those listings let me show you what I mean so you can choose from one of AutoDS's 25 plus suppliers any one of the suppliers that you want to choose just go to their websites find a best selling product and add it to the Facebook marketplace I'm going to do it with one of my favorite suppliers which is Amazon and this is how it's done remember guys I'm going to show you my Facebook marketplace account which products I'm selling and these are the same exact strategies that I'm implementing on that store so first thing that I'm going to do is either head to the best seller section or we can even go to movers and shakers where we got the most trending products from the last 24 hours and we even have other places but let's go ahead and start so as you see here we've got the best sellers we've got movers and shakers and new releases is also a good idea if you know which products in which categories are selling well and you want to get the newest items from that niche in this case let's go to movers and shakers because this is really the most trending products from the last 24 to 48 hours and you can always find some hidden gems over here and here I'm going to go inside a dropshipping category that is fit for the drop shipping business model and let me show you exactly what I mean by that so let me go back to the blog really quick and if I just scroll down a little bit here I have all of the categories that are not fit for the drop shipping business model so you know what to stay out of what types of materials what types of products you shouldn't be selling so here we're talking about adult products like sex toys medical products like band-aids antibiotics ointments pain relievers medicines etc misleading violin or hateful materials like a t-shirt with a hateful message ingestible supplements like vitamins protein bars and the like alcohol so so anything that's in liquidated form in general is not really good for the dropshipping business model but you still can't sell soft drinks and things like that if you want I personally have never sold them but here we're talking about alcohol so anything that has to do with beer rum don't sell it you can sell accessories to alcohol but don't sell the formula itself recalled products or products that are not new products that are new or that got recalled don't try to resell them on the facebook market place you're simply going to get into all kinds of troubles when you try and any product that violates the facebook community policy so there's a link to that once again in the blog below click on that link go to facebook commerce policies and see exactly what types of products they don't want to see on the facebook market place but besides that you can pretty much feel free and the best dropshipping categories are the ones that i'm going to show you now now let's go over the categories that are really good for the facebook dropshipping business model so amazon devices is not good launch pad isn't good appliances you can find some things there but let's go into the nitty gritty let's really get deep down into the good stuff apps and games not really arts crafts and sewing yes audible books and originals no automotive you can sell automotive car parts things like that but don't sell the automobiles themselves so you can sell pretty much anything that has to do with automotive replacement parts repair parts and the like baby products are also great just stay away from things that are hazardous things that have a choking hazard don't sell things that are dangerous for babies but there are more than enough baby products to sell so make sure that you have a clear mind of what you're selling before you're selling it but once again there's a lot of trending products in the baby category beauty and personal care also a great category so do stay away from before and after pictures so things that assume what will happen after you take this product stay away from those things and keep it simple books you can resell but might not be the smartest idea because anyone knows how to find a book at a cheaper price anywhere else CDs and vinyl stay away from that lots of trademark lots of copyrighted cameras and photos products also not so good cell phones and accessories is a great category to drop ship on just don't try to drop ship the cell phones themselves it's harder there's trademarked and copyrighted over there but if you do sell the accessories you will have lots of cells on that there is more than enough accessories there are millions of them you just need to drop ship the right ones see which accessories are selling hot right now and try to resell them clothing shoes and jewelry is also a great category to drop ship especially jewelry clothing and shoes is a little bit difficult because you got the whole sizes thing going on so you have to show the customer exactly what sizes you have what sizes will fit them and be ready for a return if the size doesn't fit the customer so clothing and shoes make up for me maybe just a couple of percent of my drop shipping store but I do drop ship jewelry quite a lot just make sure that the customer knows exactly what material it is so he won't think that something is real when it's fake collectible currencies don't drop ship that there's nothing to do there computers and accessories is a great category for drop shippers do not try to drop ship the computers but do drop ship the computer accessories so keyboard mouse anything that goes alongside the computer all kinds of things that you can have around your office table speakers things like that but once again stay away from trademark stay away from copyrighted and don't try to drop ship the computers themselves because your buyers will expect to have a one to three year warranty and you're only going to offer what a 30 60 day warranty returns and I've also seen lots of problems with people drop shipping computers and then the customer opens up a return and returns something else in the box so that is a very dangerous category but the accessories are perfect for the drop shipping business model digital things stay away from digital products electronics is great let's just go on with what we can and skip out on what we cannot handmade products you can definitely find things over there health and household definitely fit home and kitchen great kitchen and dining wonderful for the drop shipping business model musical instruments also great office products patio lawn and garden pet supplies sports and outdoors tools and home improvement that sums up the categories that you do want to drop ship so make sure that you are drop shipping in the right categories now let's go inside and find a product to drop ship so I'm going to head over to home and kitchen one of the categories that I told you guys that is great for the drop shipping business model now what you want to do is keep diving down into the subcategories inside the main category that we just clicked on so once again we're in the movers and shakers which is the top trending products that we have inside the home and kitchen niche so if I scroll down to home and kitchen as we can see there is no subcategory under home and kitchen so we're going to stay here so movers and shakers the top trending products in the home and kitchen category in the past 24 to 48 hours so let's see what we're seeing here we've got this product which I know is trademark so I'm going to stay away from that bug zappers are great expandable garden hoses are also great so let's actually go for one of those and yeah guys it's that easy to find products to sell on the facebook marketplace that is why I definitely encourage anyone who can drop ship on the facebook marketplace to go ahead and try it right after watching this video so this is the product that I want to add to my store one of the products that I want to add I know that it's trending hot right now I know that people are not selling it on the facebook marketplace so I'm definitely going to get these sales and enjoy the profits from that what I'm going to do next is make sure that I've got the facebook dropshipping helper extension installed this is a chrome extension it doesn't cost any money all you need to do is download and install it to your chrome browser so back to the bug zapper I want to add it to my facebook marketplace store there are a couple ways to do it the first one is to click on the import to autodesk button this button over here will always be on top of the product titles inside the product pages and the reason I'm seeing that is because I also have the autodesk dropshipping helper chrome extension installed so that is another chrome extension that will help you while you are dropshipping so we've got two extensions overall the facebook dropshipping helper extension and the autodesk dropshipping helper extension each is responsible for its own tasks so in this case one extension is giving me this button over here that's the autodesk chrome dropshipping helper extension and the other extension will simply help me copy the products to the facebook marketplace so one way to import this product is by clicking on this button and that will simply add this product to the draft section of my autodesk store and then through autodesk I will import it to the facebook marketplace that is a simple way to do it the other way to do it is to copy the byurl or id so what I'm going to do is simply take this whole url up here and copy it then I'm going to head back to autodesk and click on add products here I can start adding products to my facebook marketplace account on autodesk it will not affect my facebook marketplace store just yet so here I can simply paste that byurl or id that I just copied so that is another way to add products here I can add it as a draft and that is the same as simply clicking on the import to autodesk button here the product will simply land in the drafts page so here make sure that you're publishing to the right store so if you have multiple stores click on the pencil icon and click only the relevant store that you want to add this product to then make sure that the supplier settings down here are correct in the advanced options I will not allow out of stock variation so if something is out of stock there is no reason to add it there is also no reason to upload variations because it is not supported on the facebook marketplace just yet we don't need to auto fill the brand that's it so in this case I'm not going to accept any advanced options and I'm going to add this product to my draft page so let's click on add as draft now it's being added as a draft click here to track the progress so let's give it a couple of seconds to add that product to the draft page I can click here on view details and check out the upload process the import process how long it's going to take to complete so let's just give it a couple of seconds and see what happens okay now the process is complete as we can see here this product that we just got from amazon or from any supplier that you chose is now complete which means it is on our drafts page so let's exit here and head over to the drafts page and auto DS so here we go this is the bug zapper and as you see we are on the draft page right now so what I'm going to do now is click on this arrow to open up the item editor and here I'm going to start editing this product start optimizing it so that it will look good on the facebook marketplace first I do want to touch and optimize the product's titles so I'm going to delete the brand name and keep only whatever is relevant so I know that I have up to 100 characters here and right now I'm on 155 so let's narrow it down a little bit cut down some words that we just might not have to use so here we have a good optimized title for this product the keywords are good they're relevant so the first thing that I'm going to pay attention to here is the product's title I can also optimize it on facebook but it'll be much easier and better to do it from auto DS first next we've got the product's description this one we're going to optimize on the facebook marketplace anyway because we're probably going to have some spacing issues over there so let's skip that for now or you can go ahead and edit it if you want but in any case we are going to have to optimize it through facebook anyway so here we're going to click on save to save our changes so far now here we've got the variance and this is what you need to pay attention to auto DS is going to get all of the information from the product's variance and copy that onto the facebook marketplace let me show you what I mean so we're going to click on edit on the variance and in the variance settings you're going to have the pricing settings and the general settings for this variant so let me show you exactly what I'm talking about in the pricing settings you have the fees which is how much facebook is taking from each transaction and the answer to that is 5% let's talk about that one really quick so for every transaction that you're going to get on the facebook marketplace for every sell facebook is going to take either 40 cents or 5% from the transaction price whichever one is higher and as you can see here in the screenshot in front of me I took this from one of the products that I sold on the facebook marketplace which cost two dollars so in this case 5% was not as high as 40 cents so in this case facebook took 40 cents but as you can see the selling fee is either 5% or a 40 cent minimum in most cases we're going to pass the 40 cent value so we're going to get charged 5% for every transaction that we have on the facebook marketplace so that is our break even settings so let's head back to auto DS and as you see here the fees are correct so in this case if we're paying facebook 5% we want to make another 15% profit on top of that so a product that costs 36 dollars in 99 cents which is the case for that bug zapper we're going to have to sell it for $44.78 in order to make a profit of $5.55 which is a 15% profit margin from the original price now auto DS is doing all these calculations by itself but what you do need to do is make sure that the fees are correct so you can either edit them here in the edit variants page or you can go to the settings on auto DS so let me exit here for a second click on settings and in the store settings make sure that you have your facebook store selected and in the supplier make sure that the right supplier is also selected you can add more suppliers if you want to add more supplier settings in advance so as you see here we've got all of the 25 suppliers that auto DS supports today in this case i'm going to stick with amazon because that's where i'm adding this product from so here i'm telling auto DS every time i add a product to the facebook store from amazon here are the pricing settings that i want so i'm going to click on the pricing tab and as you see here the fees are 5% which is exactly what we just saw in the variant settings additional profit in percentages 15 additional profit in dollars you can do that too if you want and you've got more pricing settings and pricing automation if you want that done for your facebook marketplace store but that is not really relevant for now let's go back to the product in the drafts page open the editor again as you can see the title stayed as i optimized it before the description too i'm going to head back to the variants and click on edit so we saw the pricing settings everything over there looked good then you've got the general settings which has the item weight the buy id from our source which is amazon in this case from the united states and so forth so what you want to do here is copy the variant settings so that we will be able to paste it on the facebook marketplace store so the only thing that we did up until now was find the product from one of our suppliers you can use any one of the 25 suppliers that auto ds supports tens and millions of products to choose from just go to the best sellers see what's selling hot right now and sell that on the facebook marketplace because no one else is doing it once you do it you will notice the sales and profit and you will understand just how untapped this marketplace is and how much profit you can have here so once again the only thing that i did up until now was get a product from the supplier and add it to auto ds by clicking on add products and pasting the buy url or id then adding it to my drafts page i went to my drafts page optimize the title optimize the description a little bit and i went to the variants over here to the variance column the next thing that i'm going to do is you see this icon over here to copy i'm going to click on that you see here it says copy to clipboard so i know that everything inside this variant was just copied to my clipboard now i can easily list it on facebook let's see how that is done so here is my facebook marketplace account which i promised you guys i will give you guys a glimpse so here are some of the products that i'm selling let's get to that in a second right now we are creating a new listing so i'm going to click on create new listing then i'm going to click on item for sale now remember that i talked to you guys about the categories that you cannot drop ship products that you should stay away from if that is still lingering around in your minds don't worry if you're a beginner start adding products to your store add those bestsellers that i showed you guys get it from any one of the suppliers and if you're trying to import a product that is not allowed to be resolved autodesk will give you a warning that something is wrong with this product whether it's the manufacturer whether it's the brand or maybe it's a little keyword inside the product description which isn't so important you can just delete it and move on but that will give you a much better idea of what you can and what you cannot drop ship so pay attention to those error messages when you're importing products that you are not allowed to resell and that should give you another layer of protection from knowing what you can and what you can sell and not worrying about importing products that you cannot resell now let's go back to this so what we did was we went to the variants and we copied the variant settings after optimizing it on autodesk now we want to list it on the facebook marketplace so we headed on to facebook to the marketplace we clicked on create new listing and as you see here we can start adding all of the listings properties but instead of copying the title and moving all of the images and the prices and the description and everything that else that comes along with it that will take so much time the only thing that i'm going to do is click this button over here paste info from autodesk now i'm just going to sit back wait a few seconds while all of the information is being transferred from autodesk to the facebook marketplace already so just a few seconds later and all of the products information was imported from autodesk to the facebook marketplace as you can see over here so we've got the optimized title and we've got the product's description which does seem like it was spaced out in not such of a bad way i'm definitely going to optimize that a little bit but as you can see here we've got the title we've got the description we've got all of the images that transferred from the supplier to autodesk to the facebook marketplace you can add more photos if you see fit so as you see here we've got the title we've got the price which was also pulled from autodesk now we're going to choose a category we've got some categories that facebook already recommended and it makes sense let's go with patio and garden the condition is new so i'm just going to leave it like that the product description i'm going to optimize a little a little bit just to get rid of all of those extra spaces that facebook adds in just to make it look better for the customer so if you look on the right side you can see that slowly the product's description is looking better and better continue deleting all of those empty spaces and make your listing look optimized so that your customers won't know exactly what they're seeing they don't know exactly what they're buying it won't look amateur it won't look unprofessional it'll look like a real store or a real business that's trying to sell their products and high quality products at that so fix all of this make it look good continue scrolling down once you finish up with your product description you can add more variants if you see fit but at this point we're not going to do that there is no variations for this product anyway then fill in the rest of the information that was not filled in automatically like if you got a color i don't recommend using any brand so just keep it like that you can write branded if you want or unknown this way it'll make it harder for them to simply search for the same product using other suppliers most won't do it but even those that do it'll be much harder for them to do it now then your material and the sku if you have it and once you are done with that you're going to click on next now here is something that's important to talk about the location the location you can use any location in the united states because what i just did was a took i took a product from the us and i'm shipping it to the us now this is really important because on the facebook marketplace you want to ship out your products on time and that is up to three business days after getting your order so once you get an order you have three days to ship it out and just a couple more days after that to have it delivered to the customer take it up to one week not any more than that and the reason for that is because facebook sends surveys to your buyers after they buy from your store and they ask them how was it to buy from you if you're going to get many negative reviews one after the other because you're not shipping out your products on time or the delivery is taking way too long because you're trying to drop ship from china to the us for example then your store is not going to last that long on the facebook marketplace but if the customers are getting their products on time you're shipping it out in a timely manner and they're getting exactly what they ordered your store is going to survive for a long time for the long term and you're going to make some great profits along the way so drop ship from the us to the us when it comes to the facebook marketplace which suppliers to drop ship from i'm going to also get to that in just about a minute we've got plenty and more than enough us suppliers to work with an auto ds and we're always working on adding more so once again drop ship from the us to the us when it comes to the product location use any location in the us and the delivery method this is the most important option because this option is going to have your listing available to more than 50 states when you have the shipping options enabled if you don't have shipping options enabled as you see here i'm offering shipping and local pickup you can choose shipping only but what's important here is to make sure that you've got the shipping options available and that is because once again it's going to show your listings to 50 states so so many people are going to see your listing and so many people are going to be able to buy from you if you don't have shipping options that's probably because you're not located in the us and as i've mentioned in the beginning of this video you have to be located in the us have a us ip address and have a social security number ready because once you hit 500 and sells facebook is going to ask for a social security number verification and you're going to have to pass that to if you want to keep selling on the facebook marketplace so shipping options so that many people will see your listing and that it will succeed in selling and you will make profits at the end of the day shipping method you want to use your own shipping label so make sure that you're going to click on use your own shipping label shipping rate is going to be free free shipping for our buyers because we are drop shipping from places where shipping is either free and even if it's not free then in the pricing settings on autodesk where i showed you guys a couple minutes ago you have the option to include shipping price and that means that if your supplier is charging x for a product and another y for shipping autodesk is going to combine those prices together and make sure that you're going to profit your 15 20 30 40 percent whatever you have set even with that shipping price so you'll always be able to offer free shipping and therefore in this case you're going to turn on free shipping for buyers okay so everything here is set we're going to click on next and last but not least facebook is asking you do you want to list this product to some of the buy and sell groups that we see that you joined and in other groups that we see that you haven't joined maybe you want to list that product there too so this is a great way to get more organic traffic more people to see your listing so i definitely recommend to add it to buy and sell groups so make sure that you read the rules before you join and once you join those groups start listing that product in those groups too and that way you'll simply get more people to see your listing okay so in this case i'm going to leave it as is and right before i click on publish i want to talk about this little drop down menu here for a sec because i didn't talk about it before right now i don't have any products on this drop down menu but what this means is if you have products on the autodesk system like we see over here this is all the products that i have on my facebook marketplace store but if i have products here on my autodesk menu on my autodesk screen and i don't have them on the facebook marketplace i will see that product here on the drop down and what it's telling you is hey we've got the product here on autodesk but we see that you don't have it on the facebook marketplace so if you want to import that product simply choose that product here from the drop down paste the info from autodesk and we'll make sure to add the product from autodesk to your facebook marketplace account so that will simply help you synchronize your products and make sure that what you have on autodesk you also have on the facebook marketplace account now if you haven't set the facebook dropshipping extension yet this will be the time to do it because once you install the extension you want to make sure that it's connected to your facebook account so make sure that you clicked on it the first thing that you're going to see is what store you want to synchronize this extension with so you're going to choose your facebook store you'll have it on the drop down menu and then the extension will ask you how often do you want us to synchronize the products on autodesk and make sure that you also have them on the facebook marketplace store so in this case you can sync it every 24 hours or every seven days then you have your logs here you have all of the changes or everything that the extension did you can read it right here in the logs page so if there's any errors that you want to show the help section the the live chat the support they can simply see your log over here you can send it to them and another thing that you want to see is here on the settings icon click on that then you'll have the store that you're connected to so if you have a few stores you can choose which store you want to make this change to then you've got your update every where you have don't sync one hour three hours 12 hours and 24 hours this is how often you want facebook to synchronize your prices and your stock so in this case i'm going to leave it on one hour and what this means is every hour on the clock autodesk is going to check all of my prices and all of my stock status with my suppliers if there are any changes when it comes to prices or stock autodesk will update it on autodesk and also on my facebook store so once again no more refreshing supplier pages no more wasting hours and hours of work to see what changed in the price and in the stock with my supplier with the products that I have so put that aside autodesk is going to automate all of that for you and in this case we're going to do it every one hour click on update and that is all you have to do with the facebook extension leave it alone let it do its work let it paste your products from the autodesk system to the facebook marketplace let it automate these things for you so that is how to find products from the facebook marketplace once again 25 suppliers millions and millions of products simply add the best sellers i showed you guys how to install the facebook dropshipping helper extension i showed you guys also how to use the autodesk helper extension if you want to import your products in just one click now let's go ahead and publish that product so head back to facebook everything here is correct of course i'm going to optimize the description a little bit but i just want to show you guys how it's going to be listed so now i'm going to click on publish here are the steps once again i found the product from one of my suppliers i added it to autodesk on autodesk on the drafts page i optimized the product's title the description and then i went to the variant settings and i copied the variant and by the way don't forget to also import the products to your products page which i will show you in just a second so right before or right after you import the product to your facebook marketplace make sure that you import this from the drafts page to your products page so that autodesk can really monitor the stock and the prices so what we did was we simply went to the variant i'm just taking it back really quick here is the copy variant and then we simply pasted it on the facebook marketplace when we created a new listing it is that simple that is all there is to it and you're saving so much time along the way not to mention the price and stock monitoring so once i'm done here and as i can see here on facebook my product has already been listed here it is right here as one of my newest listings on top of the list now what i'm going to do here on the drafts page is simply make sure to import it to the product section of my store so right now it started the import process and it's going to move from drafts to products and in just a couple of seconds i'm going to see it right over here here on top as you see all of the products that i have here are the same products that you see on my facebook marketplace store right here so let's talk about that really quick now i'm creating a case study for you guys on this account from day one when i first created this account and all of the steps that i took when it comes to where i find the products how i add them even though i showed you in this video but more things that i went through in this account so you really will be able to see from day one how i grew a facebook marketplace account from zero listings to 50 60 70 listings more as the days progress it's on this account has only been alive for about a week maybe a week and a half and i had over 20 sales here i have a va that's helping me a virtual assistant that's helping me run the store because i simply don't have the time so if you guys have the time first run your business by yourself and after you learn all of the ins and outs get a virtual assistant to help you add products help you with your customer service and so much more so in this case study you guys are going to see in depth all of the things that i went through on this facebook marketplace account so here i just wanted to show you that here is the product that i just that i just added from auto ds it really took me only a couple of minutes maybe a little bit longer because i did all of the explanations along the way and all of the products that you see here are all of the products that you see here on my product page on auto ds so these are the products that i'm selling and here you can see the products that i've actually sold so i'm going to click on shipping orders here i've got 11 products that are waiting to be shipped so my virtual assistant already processed these orders we're just waiting for a tracking number and here are the products that i already shipped so as you see there's one product that's repeating itself and that is this warm crotchet hooks art aluminum soft grip crotchet needles for crotchet yarn craft this product is selling actually pretty well and i'm making some nice profit from selling just that one product so let me just show you want that example how much profit i'm making from each time i'm selling it and adding this product is just like i added the other product that i showed you guys the same process same exact thing that i'm showing you guys is exactly what i'm doing on my drop shipping store so let's find this product really quick and understand just get a small glimpse of the amount of profit that we can have here so here is the product i'm going to open its variant and as you can see it's being priced right now at $15 and that is exactly how much it's being sold by $15 and before that i was selling it for $13 as you can see here but i noticed that it's selling more and more so there is no reason to not make any more profit especially since we don't have any competition no one is running after me and no one is copying my products maybe you will copy it after watching this video but i definitely urge you guys to add products yourselves without copying other people because in this case there is no competition and there is no reason to create competition right from the start simply add bestsellers and watch them sell do a lot of product testing that will definitely help you understand and even start your own selling trends and not try to copy off of others okay so how much am i buying this product for i'm selling it for $15 and as you can see i'm making a profit of $3.77 for each order when i'm selling it for $15 and buying it for $10.48 so let's see the product where i'm getting it from in this case it is once again amazon so i'm going to click on the supplier here on autodesk it'll take me straight to that product as you can see it costs $10.48 which is exactly what we are reading here when i edit the variance you can see that that the buy price is $10.48 that cannot be changed because that is what we can see on the suppliers page we also have another 10% coupon on this product so that's another 10% profit that you are making so $10.48 selling for $15 after five percent do the math you will see that it comes out to $3.77 so even if we pay some tax here and it can come up to 10% so let's say one dollar tax okay so if you're paying one dollar then instead of making $3.7 you will make $2.7 per item and that is in the worst case situation and once again you have another 10% profit so that brings back whatever you paid on tax and once again our profit will be back to around the three and a half dollar range so we are keeping this profit and i've sold this product how many times now let's see one two three four five six seven times ever since i raised the product to $15 so seven times three is at least $21 that i made off of this product after just one product and i sold it more times before for $13 but that's just a small example of the profit that you that you can make off of one product i've even had products where i made over a hundred dollars over 200 profit on just one product and i simply don't copy other sellers i try to find my own trends it's much easier to do that here on the facebook marketplace so that is a small glimpse of things that i'm selling on the facebook marketplace and how much profit i'm making with the help of my va now when it comes to virtual assistants let's talk about that for a second once your facebook store is up and running you're getting sales you're making profit it is now time to add a virtual assistant to help you scale your store so that you can invest your time doing more things that will make you more cash more profits at the end of the month and don't get stuck don't limit yourself to only a number of tasks per day that will simply help you from growing and limit yourself from expanding so what you want to do on autodesk click on settings then click on users what you want to do here is add a new virtual assistant here is my virtual assistant and you can give any type of control that you want to your virtual assistant so in the beginning if you don't trust him so much you can simply allow them to maybe view and edit your active products but maybe not list new products or maybe let them list new products but not view and edit the current ones view and import on track listings your drafts your orders and so forth so in the beginning what you want to do first is make sure that you have virtual assistants accounts enabled in your subscription plan so we're going to click on plans and add-ons and make sure that va users is enabled once that is done go to users and click on add user here you can add the information for the va that you want to add so what you're going to do here is give your va a name whatever his name is email address and his designated password and then give him control for one of your stores some of your stores or none of your stores don't add the va and here you can simply give him control over what you want him to have control over so once again you can let him view your dashboard edit your products delete your drafts edit your orders handle customer support view and edit your settings and so forth then give him the email address and the password they will go to autoDS.com login and they will have access only to exactly what you gave them and this will definitely help you scale your stores remember guys you're limiting yourself if you don't have a virtual assistant that's running on your stores but first make sure that you know how to manage your stores make sure that you are getting sales making profits so that you can pay the va and scale your way from there to the top so the last thing that I want to talk about is how to help you guys automate your orders as much as possible because order automation is not available yet for the facebook marketplace but once again we've got the price monitoring stock monitoring an easy way to import your products from your suppliers pages to autoDS and from autoDS to your facebook marketplace stores really in no hassle just a couple of minutes and on top of that how to find products and how to go about all of the settings and make sure that the listing comes out nice in the end let's check out the listing once again I don't think we went inside so your listings let's open that bug zapper and see how it came out so here it is as you can see over here if we click on edit listing I'm going to go back to that editing screen you can delete the listing from here but if you do delete it from here then make sure to also delete it on autoDS you can click on view listing to see how it looks from the customer's point of view and here we go it looks really good it doesn't look like it only took a couple of minutes to add this product or even less and as you see here the information went through well I didn't finish all of the spacing settings so as you can see here we've still got the spacing issues and that's pretty much it it lists the product you've got the condition here the brand is branded you've got the product description you've got the product's price all that's left to do is for someone to buy this product and then you issue it from your supplier now let's talk about that for a second how are we going to help with order automation as much as possible so let me show you a neat little trick and this is available through the auto DS drop shipping chrome extension helper as you see over here that I recommended in the beginning of this video so what I'm going to do now is go to my orders so I'm going to click on shipping orders and I'm going to click on this order over here now I want to issue this order to the customer how am I going to do it the fastest way first thing that I want to do is find this product on auto DS so that way I will easily find the source to this product go to the search bar on top no matter what menu you're on crotchet what was it hook so here's the product on auto DS I'm going to click on the supplier source link over here okay so here is the product on Amazon or any one of the suppliers that you chose so now I want to process this order what I'm going to do first is of course add it to my card click on buy it now and then I'll get to the customer information window where I have to enter all of the customer's information now instead of adding it one by one what I'm going to do is head back to the Facebook marketplace to the order details over here and as you see here on top of the order details on Facebook there is a copy with auto DS button once again available through the auto DS drop shipping helper chrome extension so make sure that you have it downloaded and installed then we're going to click on that button address copied now you're going to head to Amazon once again add it to your card head to the checkout settings and in the customer's address you're going to have a paste button where you have the add a new address window so get to the place where it says add a new address and on top of that you'll notice an orange paste button once again available through the auto DS chrome drop shipping extension click on paste and then all of the customer's details will transfer from Facebook to your suppliers checkout page where you've got the customer's address so everything is going to be filled in automatically and it'll help you process your orders much faster this way so use that pass that information onto your virtual assistant and help yourself save that time and use that time to scale now as you know you've got the price and stock monitoring it's being done automatically for you you don't need to do anything but what I do recommend to do is to also enable email notifications if you want to get an email every time something is changing in the price or in the stock on your Facebook marketplace store and it's just an FYI it's for your information you don't have to do anything because auto DS is automating the price and the stock for you but it's always nice to know what's going on in your store so if you want to enable those email notifications on auto DS click on settings and then click on notifications here you want to enable the monitoring notifications that you see down here so the stock monitoring updates and the price monitoring updates notified to email make sure that your email address is written down correctly over here because this is the email address that's going to get those updates and then you're simply going to click on save that is all there is to it you'll also be getting those updates to your mail I hope
