And let me know which one of these tools is your favorite. Once I see that you went ahead and did that, I'll go ahead and reply back with a link to the cheat sheet. Now, when it comes to all of these different tools, you're going to hear quite a few different terms thrown around. You're going to hear tools, you're going to hear apps, software, SaaS. Now, just so you know, SaaS actually stands for software as a service, which is pretty much just a software that provides a service to you, such as automating your dropshipping store. And with that, we get to our first contender on this list, and that is dropshipping automation software. And of course, I'm talking about none other than AutoDS. Come on, now, you didn't expect us to not include AutoDS in the list of some of the top dropshipping software now, did you? Nope. There's a reason why AutoDS is considered one of the best dropshipping softwares out there and why there's so many different articles covering AutoDS because it's a very efficient software and it can really streamline your entire dropshipping process. Sign me up. Now, for those of you that don't know, when you automate your business or you automate your dropshipping store, you're essentially becoming hands off with it. Everything is going to be automated for you and everything is going to become pretty much automatic. Everything's going to start taking care of itself. In essence, you're going to pretty much end up having a self-running or self-sustaining business. Every once in a while, of course, you are going to have to jump in, look for new products, optimize your store, update the layout, you know, things like that. But for the most part, when it comes to actually fulfilling your orders and getting these types of things done, AutoDS will take care of the entire thing for you. Here's how it works. So to get started, you are going to need an account with AutoDS and right now you can start your trial for just $1. Now with AutoDS, you can automate your product imports all the way to your order fulfillment. So let's see first how you can import products to your store in just seconds and a few clicks. So a few days ago, I was actually looking for a light to be able to illuminate my entire desk. So I found this one light that actually hangs over your monitor and I realized it cost like $60 or $65. So I thought, you know what? I could probably find this cheaper. So I started looking around and I ended up using Google Lens, which a little bit more on that later. Make sure you stick around because that's actually extremely useful. And it'll show you how I found this product. So I use Google Lens and I ended up coming across this. This is a desktop lamp that hangs above your monitor. I've been wanting one of these, but again, they're like $65. So I couldn't really justify spending that much money. $65 for a lamp was a little too expensive for me. So I actually ended up finding it for around $20. So I found it over here on AliExpress for $19.40 and it's got 12 day delivery. So it's got pretty quick shipping. So I started thinking this would be a perfect addition to my drop shipping store. So next I needed to bring this item to my store and I want to start selling it. So typically what you would end up doing is just going ahead, copying all of this, saving these images, going down to the description, copying all of this, and then going to your drop shipping platform, whether that be Shopify, eBay, Amazon, whatever it is. Of course, in this case, we're talking about Amazon, so let's go with Amazon. And then you have to paste everything on there. Of course, that seems pretty easy, which realistically it is pretty easy, but it's very time consuming. So if you're doing just one item, it's okay. You know, it's not going to take too much time. But if you're starting to import 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, 50 products, you're literally going to spend all day in front of your computer copying titles, copying descriptions, saving images and uploading everything to your store. And that's just going to end up taking away from your time and time that you can spend reinvesting to keep scaling your business. But since I use AutoDS, all I have to do is this, just run over here, copy or cut the link and then just jump back over to AutoDS and go to add products. Now here, we can either do a single product so we can upload just that one item or we can upload multiple products and upload a bunch of different ones that we want to. This is going to simplify things and speed things up so much. So let's just go with single product. Not typically if you have just one store, it's going to automatically upload to that one store. But if you have multiple stores, you can go ahead and choose them. So here I'm just going to choose my Amazon store. And after we select our Amazon store, typically I prefer to just go with multiple products because I can leave one window open and another one looking for different products. So we click on this and then here you just go ahead and paste the URL, press enter, and then you can go back to your other screen, start looking for more products and keep adding the different links or URLs right here. Once you have everything put together and you have all of the different products that you want to import, all you have to do is click on next and all of these items will be automatically imported to your draft section where you can make any necessary adjustments, adjust the title, adjust the description, change the prices, add, edit or delete images or just take a break and come back to it later to continue working. Everything will be saved in your draft section. So if you don't get to it immediately, you can get to it later. Aside from that, you can also automate your entire order fulfillment process. So whenever you receive an order, Autodesk is going to go ahead and log into your supplier's account and make the purchase for you. After it does that, it'll update the platform along with your customer with the tracking number once the item is shipped. Now that's using automatic orders, but we also have another feature called fulfilled by Autodesk where instead of logging in with your account's credentials, Autodesk actually logs in using its own account credentials. So that way your accounts don't ever get touched. And to make things even easier, instead of using your bank account, your credit card or your debit card, you actually have a balance that you can top up whenever you need to. And then to make the purchases, Autodesk will just take the money from there. Aside from that, you can even automate your product research. So we have the winning product section along with a marketplace with tons of different products that are currently trending and have been proven to sell in the past all backed by data. A few other features that you can benefit from with Autodesk will include price and stock monitoring, price optimization, inventory management, TikTok, ad analysis and research, and tons more. So remember, if you want to get started with Autodesk, you can get started right now for just $1 for the trial period. All right, so next up, we have a few different tools or softwares that can actually help you with product research. And the first one is going to be Jungle Scout. Now Jungle Scout has an entire product database, keyword scout and product trackers. The keyword scout in particular is actually really helpful for your Amazon store because it can help you come up with the perfect keywords for your Amazon listings. So that way they come up whenever people search up these particular keywords. And the product tracker can track different products over time and let you know whether or not they're worth selling. So it'll give you some different analytics that you can use to be able to make that decision to add to your drop shipping store or not. Jungle Scout does start at $49 a month for the basic subscription. If you want the sweet subscription, it's going to cost you $69 a month and the professional will run you $129 a month. The AliExpress Drop Ship Center is next and this can help you out with your product research as well by showing you some trending products on AliExpress. So here you can see what people are currently searching for, what people have been searching for and what people are actually purchasing. On top of that, you get a star rating, which I think is pretty cool because that tells you whether or not people are liking these items and you can see how many have actually sold. So this right here has sold about 500 units. This one has only sold about three. You're going to find this wig right here, but this one has sold over 9,000 units. So this is a pretty popular and trending item. So it might be worth checking out if you're into this niche. Then we have Helium 10, which has a complete suite of tools to help us Amazon drop shippers. Helium 10 can help us optimize our product research, our listings and our overall store performance. They also have a Chrome extension that you can use on any relevant website as you browse in the web or doing your own product research. They also have this thing called the Blackbox, which pretty much just finds some in-demand products and items that are currently trending. You know, things that people are looking for. And another awesome feature they have is the X-Ray feature. Now the X-Ray feature can give you access to sales data through keyword searches. Helium 10 starts at just $39 a month for the basic edition. The Platinum is $99 a month and the Diamond subscription can set you back about $279 a month. AMZScout is another product research tool that you can use to your advantage and they have an entire product database, stock stats that can help you keep track and learn more about your competitor's stock, their sales and their ratings, and a pro extension that can give you information on pretty much any Amazon item. Now AMZScout starts at just $49 a month. All right, that's enough about product research. Now let's talk about our competitors. These are a few different tools that can help you keep track of your competitors and helps you spy on them. And the first software in this list is Ali Insider. Now Ali Insider is pretty cool and it's pretty unique because for one, it has a competition tracker. Now what is a competition tracker? I asked the same thing when I first heard about this. And it turns out that a competition tracker is simply a tool that can actually help you check out different Amazon listings and see which ones are being sold by different sellers. So you can see how many people are selling a particular item. They also have a Dropship Insider which can let you know whether or not an item has been dropshipped yet or not. So this is pretty cool because it can give you somewhat of a competitive advantage by letting you know whether or not a market is oversaturated with a particular product. Now Ali Insider does have a free version but the paid version starts at $19.95 a month. Dropship Spy is up next with a site scanner that can help you keep track of your competitor's traffic details. Dropship Spy starts at just $29 a month. Now this next spy tool is actually one of my favorites and it's totally free and that's Google Lens. Remember how I told you earlier that I found the light bar for my monitor cheaper by simply using Google Lens? Well, this is how I did it. So the first thing I did was locate the item that I wanna purchase on Amazon. And once I'm on here, all I did was hover over the image, right click and search images with Google. Then it's either gonna pick up the picture automatically or you can just go ahead and select it. And then it's gonna open up this little sidebar on the right and it's gonna give you a few different options. So this is priced currently at $109. So let's see if we can find it cheaper. Now, as soon as this opens up, you can see right off the bat on eBay, you can find it for $80. But if you keep scrolling down a little bit, we can find a few other suppliers. And after a bit of scrolling, I found this variation right here for $31 from Walmart. As you can see, it's fairly similar and it's more than half off. Now, if you keep going through you're gonna find a few different variations all priced differently, but this is how you can start to use Google Lens to your advantage. And of course this works with pretty much just any product out there. All right, next up we have Amazon dropshipping marketing software. So these next few tools can help you market your products on Amazon. And first up, we have Seller Labs. Now Seller Labs gives you access to Seller Analytics, SEO for Amazon and PPC advertising or pay-per-click advertising for Amazon as well. Seller Labs does have a free trial, but after that trial ends, you can expect to pay $49 a month. Up next in our second spot, we have Brevo. Now Brevo gives you access to email marketing, SMS marketing, and best of all, marketing automation. So that way you can start to become hands-off with your marketing. Now the starter subscription does start at $25 a month, whereas the business subscription runs you $65 a month. All right, so next up let's go ahead and start covering some softwares that can help us with our analytics. And the first one is Sellerboard.
