 Hey what's up guys welcome to a new video, so in this one then we're going to be looking at some different drop shipping stores, each one is successful in its own right and when I say successful I'm talking about six figures consistently on a monthly basis. So one of the things I like to do in my spare time, probably because I'm a bit of a saddo really so my girlfriend would be watching these tenders or Love Isle and whatever it is and I would just be flicking through different drop shipping stores looking at what their best selling products are, the kind of style of Facebook ads they're running and just in general the kind of things that I can learn from them and implement into my own stores. The reason I do this then is because I'm a big believer in if you want to learn how to do anything successfully there's no one better to learn from than people who are already doing it successfully so essentially what I'm looking for in a drop shipping store is number one is that they're producing pretty decent sales numbers. It's difficult to kind of find out how much profit they're making but you can kind of guesstimate I guess if you reverse engineer the numbers and then the second thing and probably the most important thing for me as well is finding a drop shipping business that's able to produce consistent numbers because in my opinion that is the most difficult thing to do. It's easy or at least I found it easy in my first year to find that one or two products that did really well for say two or three months but what I really struggled with was then producing those results consistently over the course of say six or twelve months so that's kind of like the two main things that I'm looking for.

With that being said then thanks again for tuning in and yeah let's get straight into store number one. What's going on guys so this is store number one then it's called typicalgoodies.com now if you want me to do say like a second video on how I found these stores then just comment let's say comment part two in fact and then perhaps I could do like a follow-on video from this one where I show you how I actually find these. Now I was quite interested in facts or excited to show you guys this store because number one is the fact that it's a general store and there's a general store still even today get a lot of hate and people say they don't work whereas these guys are like a real-life example of how general stores still do work and how ultimately the fundamentals of an e-commerce business are the products the marketing campaign and the site and as long as you do all three of those things pretty decently then you've got a good chance of getting some good results so it's proved to you guys then that this store isn't just a load of rubbish because to be honest in my opinion actually looks like it like their logo doesn't even stand out really from their background image if we just head over to this pretty cool tool it's called similar word.com and as long as the site is big enough you can come over to them put their URL in and it's going to give you a turn of different information about them so just to give you a quick overview then of the kind of information you can find out because obviously you guys can go out and put your own stores into here and see what kind of information comes up is number one is it gives you a traffic overview so we can see in December 2019 they got roughly 130,000 visits now I've compared this against my own stores and you're looking at about a tolerance of plus or minus 20% so it is fairly accurate and you can get a pretty decent idea of how successful sites actually are the number two as well which is pretty good because what I'm going to show you in a second is how to find a stores best selling products and then we'll also be able to from this information here find out who is buying those products so we know exactly what product to sell and then what countries are actually buying it so which countries to target with our Facebook ads. What's also really cool about this site is it tells you where that traffic is coming from so as we can see over half of that traffic is coming from social sites and I believe if we just scroll down a bit further it will tell us which sites and it does and almost well pretty much a hundred percent of that is coming from Facebook so we can see the chances are these guys are also running Facebook ads as well so again that's a really good thing for us because if these guys can find a product on Ali Express advertise it on Facebook and sell it profitably in these countries that I've just showed you then there's absolutely no reason why we can't implement exactly that same strategy so if we just head back to their site then we can have a quick look at a couple of other things now when it comes to looking at stores if you're not quite sure whether a store is a drop-shipping store I mean the more time you kind of spend within drop-shipping especially looking on Ali Express at different products certain products will just stand out to you right away and you'll be able to tell straight away if they are drop-shipping stores but just in case you're not chances are if you scroll right to the bottom they'll be like a shipping and return section like there is here and then what we're looking for is their quoted shipping time so standard delivery we ship to multiple countries internationally and your package can take anywhere between one and four weeks so this screams or tells us pretty much guarantees the fact that these guys are drop-shipping apart from the fact as well is that I've seen the majority of these products on Ali Express too so now we're on their side then the thing that we're kind of most interested in is what their best selling product is because this is the products that we want to kind of put our attention on so I've got handy little Chrome extension installed it's called Shopify inspector and the version I use is free there's no need to use anything else and talking of free things this site bearing in mind they do over a hundred K per month or we'll be showing you the breakdown in a second they also use a free Shopify theme which is the Brooklyn theme and you can actually install that directly from the Shopify app store too your thing it tells you is the current apps this store is using now to be honest I wouldn't rely too much on this information from what I've found comparing against my own stores it's not very accurate at all but what it does tell you then is the best sellers you can go click on best sellers and it's going to take us straight it kind of lists them in the order so at the top of the list was this 401 Munch multi-functional hands-free mark they're selling it for $40 and see I've looked at a lot of sites in the past and looking at this that I would put this in maybe like the top 30 or 40% of stores have seen it's really not that great if these guys spent a bit more time on this perhaps paid a designer or even just had a bit more care and attention they could probably do a lot better but it just shows as long as you've got a good product and a good marketing campaign and your store isn't that bad then you can still make some pretty decent money and speaking of money then I've got kind of like a guesstimated breakdown of how much money these guys actually make so start with the amount of visits these guys get based on the previous month they got 140,000 visits the conversion rate I'm basing these numbers on is 3% now 23% is quite modest because of the way that we function as a business and we run direct marketing then our conversion rate should be higher than someone like Amazon where they get a lot of people naturally and organically on their site that would just browse and not buy something sometimes but because we're running direct marketing then our conversion rates can be a bit higher so I've gone for 3% which is pretty modest and 3% of 140,000 visits then is 4,200 orders if the average order value is $40 again that's probably quite modest because the cheapest and variant of that mop they were selling was $42 so that's not if they add any up sales or buy any other products then they're going to be looking at about $168,000 per month in revenue so that's 4,200 orders times the $40 average order value is $168,000 US dollars per month which is pretty decent especially for a general store what we'll be interested to see is whether they can actually keep these numbers up because they kind of only have had December and January being two big months for them previously prior to that we saw the we're only getting about 10,000 visits so this will definitely be a store I'll be keeping my eye on and it's a definitely a great store to be keeping kind of bookmarked and just keeping an eye on what their best selling products are being a general store there's going to be a whole multitude and range of different products in which they're going to be testing just a little fun fact as well for that store in terms of their traffic ranking so monthly visits and they're actually above Carly cosmetics.com which is ran by Carly Jenner and this is a store as well that's probably ran by dropship but just like me are you whereas two months ago they were only getting 10,000 visits now they're outperforming Carly Jenner so it just goes to show how quickly you can actually scale up a dropship in business with that being said then we've been recording for nearly 10 minutes so we'll go through one more store and then perhaps if you want me to carry this on into part two and then I can do so so just make sure you come in part two if you want to find out how I found these stores and you want me to say look at a couple more. So the second store I want to show you in this video is called Trend Deploy or I think it's meant to be pronounced Trend Deploy and again a really interesting store that I think you guys are really going to like and be shocked as well by how successful these guys are considering that number one if we just use our shop inspect tool and we can see they're using their debut theme which is again another free theme that you can install and directly from the Shopify App Store. It's also another general store they sell as you can see loads of different products they have pet products they have fitness products they have general products they have gadgets so a whole range of different products. Now the reason why I'm so excited to show you this store is because the first one I showed you didn't really have that continued success over the course of a long period of time whereas these guys do so if I just show you the Facebook ad library here is an ad that they've been running it started running in May 2019. So the only reason somebody runs an ad for that long is because it's making them money. So out of interest then I'm just going to play this from the very beginning so we can have a look. It's actually a pretty good video. It's quite basic. You can see they've probably just gone to the local gym but they're clearly demonstrating exactly what the product can do what it can be used for and that's probably why it's been so successful too. One of the reasons I've put out previous videos of how to be successful or the best way to do it is to create original content and to me this looks like they've taken the time to order the product themselves and film some original content and to use as a marketing ad. The next thing I want to show you guys in about this particular store is their product page. So this was their best selling product or at least this is the product they're running ads for. So if we just head across it's always really important you look at stores product pages and in detail as well because essentially this is the page that people first come to and it's the first impression you're going to make with your customer. So if your product page isn't up to scratch there's plenty of mistakes or there's Chinese brands or it just doesn't look very good then immediately the customer is going to be put off and they're not going to buy from you. So it's always really important just to have a look round have a look through create like a collage of different product page layouts and then kind of combine them into the ultimate one in the best one to implement into your own stores. Now to be honest if I had to rate this just judging it and looking at everything as a whole it's not bad actually I'll probably give it like a 7.5 maybe an 8 out of 10 but in my opinion it could be improved but at the end of the day they've been running that ad since May so if it isn't broken then there's no needed for it to be fixed. With that being said then let's finish the video on exactly how much money these guys are making. So number one then they're getting 110,000 visits per month at a 3% current version rate again that is being quite conservative I think they could probably be a bit higher than that because it is direct marketing and it is a fairly it is a cheaper product than the previous one we looked at. That gives 3,300 orders times that by the average order value so again that's only if they purchase one and only one product to without any upsells without any cross sales and you're looking at $35 per average order value times that $35 then by the 3,300 orders and you're looking at give or take about 115,000 US dollars per month in sales. Now when I'm running a purely dropshipping business I'm looking at anywhere between kind of 15% and 30% profit margins so just for this one particular product say or as an average this store is probably making anywhere from say 20 to 40 grand per month profit now obviously that is quite a rough ball pack number but it kind of gives you an idea then generally how much money these guys are making and with that being said then guys that is the video that is the two stores I wanted to show you in this one in fact there was a third one but I don't want to make these videos too long like I said if you do want to see a part two make sure you comment part two I can show you the third store and I can also show you how I found these stores as well so that being said then guys thanks very much for watching I really do appreciate everybody watches these videos by the way so thank you please do make sure you subscribe as well for regular content on everything Shopify drop shipping and Facebook ads please do make sure you hit that like button as well it really helps with kind of like the growth of the channel and finally any kind of comments or questions you want me to see just make sure you post them down below that being said have a great day and I will see you in the next one
