 And we are live. Hello everyone. My name is Yvonne from AutoDS. I'm the content manager. If you guys don't know me, you can check out our YouTube channel. Over there you have all of the videos that I have been uploading to YouTube. Everything concerning dropshipping. And I'm here for this Q&A to answer your guys questions. See what questions you guys have regarding dropshipping. I'm here to help you guys with everything that you need. I have personally been dropshipping for over 4 years now. I'm doing it every day. And I will tell a little bit about myself while I wait for more people to join this live chat and start asking questions. So, like I said, my name is Yvonne. I'm the content manager here at AutoDS. So it's been almost 5 years now since I started dropshipping and I really, really enjoy it. It actually changed a lot of things in my life for the better. So, I really like this business model. And for those who don't know, dropshipping is where it's an online fulfillment method where you can sell products that you are not holding in stock. So, you're buying things from your dropshipping suppliers only after you actually receive an order. Hello Richard. Good morning. For me, it's actually towards the evening now. So, hello Richard. Ask me any questions. And then anytime I'll continue talking a little bit about myself while we wait for more people to join this chat and join this live. So, I started dropshipping almost 5 years now. And I started on eBay after that I moved on to Shopify. I'm still dropshipping on eBay. It's one of the most profitable launch places to be on today. No matter how saturated you may think it is. Remember, there are always new products that are coming out all the time from many different suppliers. And today, AutoDS supports over 25 dropshipping suppliers. So, there are so many new products that are coming out all the time. And there is so much money on the floor. All you got to do is know how to pick it up. And that's all about product research. Product research is one of the things that I teach about the most on our YouTube channel, on our blog page. We go through so many things. Hello AFKN. Hello John. Good evening guys. Okay, so let's take a look at some of your guys' questions. So far, how do I get views on Facebook for listing? So John, that's a good question. If you live in the US, you should have shipping options on your Facebook Marketplace account. If you don't have shipping options and the shipping options you can see it when you're uploading, when you're creating a new listing on Facebook Marketplace. So when you're creating a new listing in the creation process, towards the end Facebook will ask you if you want to have a delivery pickup or if you want to have shipping options enabled. What you want to do is enable shipping options because that is what's going to allow you to be able to ship or better yet, everyone in the United States will be able to see your listing. So we're talking about 50 states and not just one small location in some city or town. So your listing is going to get a lot more views and the sales are going to come in from there. If you're not in the US, if you don't reside, you don't live in the United States, drop shipping on the Facebook Marketplace is not going to be so effective at this point. But we always have our eyes on it. We're always looking to see what's going on. And when things change, when things get updated, we always update you guys too. So if you live in the US, no problem at all. If you don't live in the US, don't drop ship on the Facebook Marketplace just yet, but wait for updates. You never know when that might change. So to answer your question again, how to get views on Facebook for your listing, enable shipping options only if you live in the United States. If not, you probably won't get too many sales at this point. Okay, let's see what's going on in the chat. Hello, Savannah, hello nearly. John, you live in Thailand, that's good to know. One power. Highly run, I always get the error to 40 out of DS how do I fix this? I saw that you actually wrote this, I think yesterday when I created this live chat. So one power, any technical problem that you're having on out of DS, simply go to open up the chat on out of DS. We have a technical support team and it's not just a robot, it's actual real life people who are sitting down and waiting to get your live chat or to read your tickets and respond to them. Let me show my screen if you guys don't know exactly how to do that. So any problem that you're having, what you need to do, if it's a technical problem inside out of DS, what you need to do is simply click on this chat button here below and you can start it on my chat. Okay, so you can either start a live chat by clicking on a live chat here or by opening a support ticket. Go for a live chat if you need the problem fixed now, open a support ticket if it's something that can wait, either way you're going to get an answer and anytime you're getting errors like that 240 error that you're talking about, simply open a support ticket and watch how they get back to you or a live chat. Okay, let's go back to the chat. So, we said hello to some newcomers very nearly and John on one power. Any plans on upping the items monitored for the Facebook Marketplace plans? Hi James, I didn't really understand your question on upping the items monitored. Okay, so I couldn't really understand your question there James but we have full automation now for the Facebook Marketplace so if you download and install the new Facebook dropshipping helper extension you will be able to have full price and stock monitoring when using auto DS so you import products to your store also easily using the extension. So importing products to the Facebook Marketplace you don't need to copy the titles and the descriptions and upload each image just like on eBay and Shopify where you have the import process and everything gets imported really quickly and easily we have that now also for the Facebook Marketplace there is no limit to the amount of products that you can upload to the Facebook Marketplace but at this point I don't recommend uploading more than 10 listings per day when you first start the account after that if you have some sales you can upload to 20 items per day, 30 items per day but don't exceed that limit because Facebook is trying to have some kind of triggers to see to get all kinds of suspicious activity and the problems will start there so start slowly and we are also dropping on the Facebook Marketplace to myself it's actually working pretty well and very profitable much more than the other selling platforms that you can try because it's simply much less saturated so sorry that I couldn't understand your question if I answered it if I didn't then just rephrase ok let's see what's your process for finding good products for finding good products finding good products so product research is one of the most important parts when it comes to drop shipping guys and that's because that is the product that you're selling on your store that's what you're here to do here to sell and if you want to sell, you need to sell what people want to buy how do you get to the products that people want to buy? this is where a lot of people are having trouble especially in the beginning of your journey it's all about testing, testing, testing more products until you start seeing some sales and then once you start selling you start multiplying your success by adding more products that are similar to those that are selling while also on the other hand testing out a whole bunch of products that you haven't tested yet now the next question is what product should I be testing because there are millions of products we're going to be testing and I don't want to import millions of products to my store and I don't want to take a year in product research to start seeing some results so when I started drop shipping on eBay it took me a little while I said that you guys are saying that there's an echo so sorry about the echo guys I got to click my mic over here let me just make sure that it's working this is the best I could do at this point but I promise you guys for the next live I will have a much better microphone and you won't be hearing that echo that you guys are hearing maybe I'll turn down my voice a little bit and you guys will hear less of an echo so I want to go back to finding the product that's actually a great question let me just take a sit nothing like some good espresso during a live so product finding product research better yet so there's many ways to do product research and it also depends on what selling channel you are selling on for example if you're selling on eBay then there's one way of researching products to see what's selling on eBay for example you can go to your suppliers websites for example Amazon, Walmart, CJ Dropshipping, Target Blows Etsy I remind you guys more than 25 suppliers at AutoDS so just go ahead and check that out go to autods.com slash suppliers and see all the suppliers that we work with so you need to go to one of those suppliers websites for example Amazon go inside a category that's fit for the dropshipping niche for the dropshipping business model so for example you know what let me just share my screen and show you guys some examples of how to do product research so I think that you guys can see my screen now let's say I'm dropshipping on eBay and I want to find products on eBay so I want to know what is selling on eBay what can I sell and actually make some nice profit so first of all you need to know what products are relevant for dropshipping if you don't know go to our blog page guys we got so much going on here just for marketing all of this valuable information is completely free you don't even need to be an AutoDS customer or subscriber just go to the blog and learn so much about dropshipping so I've got the categories and some of these blogs you have the relevant dropshipping categories so to learn about that simply once again go to our blog now what I want to do is find products to sell in this example on my eBay store so what I'm going to do first is enter in this case I'm just going to go for best sellers then I'll choose a category that's good for dropshipping for example patio lawn and garden I love that category and then we want to keep breaking down the categories until you get down to the final category because if you're going to keep things general you're just going to get all of the saturated products that everybody is selling so let's break it down a little bit more let's go with outdoor storage storage benches so one way to do product research is to get down to the final category and then just choose any product that we see here so these are best sellers so it's products that are proving themselves what I'm going to do is just choose one of them for example this one it's unavailable let's go for something that is in stock let's say this one for example okay but it's not prime so what I'm going to do is just look for storage benches for example make a search for that because I can see that it's a best selling product so when you're going for best sellers one of the things that you're doing is you're increasing your chances of selling this product because you're going for products that are proving themselves but what you want to do is actually find something that you can find similar products to a good one that is selling so for example let's just choose any product from here let's go with this one now what I'm going to do is simply copy the title only like two lines of the title because eBay has a limit of how many characters you can use so I'm just copying the title one by one and I'm searching for it on eBay why? because I want to see if other dropshippers are dropshipping this product and as you see from this search make sure that the ship too is on the United States if you're selling to the US and here you can see all kinds of products and here I can see it selling for $85 and you can find it on Amazon for $55 so almost a $30 profit here minus the 13% that eBay takes from you from the transaction fees but already you can see someone who is selling this product and making some profit of at least $20 but what you want to see is if this product is even selling so let's continue and as you see not too many people are dropshipping this product and I think that the reason for that they are selling this product but this is a different one, a smaller one so what you want to do is find a product that is selling well and once you do that let's see if this guy even sold it so let's go inside this listing he only has one feedback so I doubt that he was able to sell it yeah he wasn't able to sell it yet but what you want to do is rinse and repeat what I just did so move on to the next product go to something else and find something that is selling that people are able to sell that they are selling currently and if you find that product then first of all get that product it's a game on eBay so you copy the title of the product that is selling let's just try one more product but remember product research is work this is where you have to actually sit down and get to work if you don't want to work, if you are lazy about it dropshipping is not for you so here is an item that I took from Amazon and I can see it I think I can't find the same exact one but this is the work that you guys have to do once you find one that is selling then you know that you can copy that product and also similar ones to that that is selling okay so you always want to find products that are similar to one that is selling so let's take a look at this one for example $106 and he's got 6 watchers I think he sold this product and yes he sold it twice this is the other reverse way of seeing what products are selling so the last time that he sold it was in January that's about 5 months ago so I wouldn't go for this product it is not a hot seller what you want to do is click on the amount of sold and see how many times it sold then you find the one that is selling well another way to do it is to search on ebay for storage benches and actually get the idea from ebay and not from the supplier okay so this is another way to do it so you search for storage benches now on the left side move down to products that have sold so I want to find here sold items I'm going to click on that there are some storage benches that are selling but sometimes it only shows me completed items items that are not on ebay anymore those that are out of stock as you see here so I'm going to unclick completed items now I'm seeing all of the active listings that have sold and they're still active you can still buy them so here you can see this one sold on July 7th and today is July 7th so let's check out this product that Mr.Yusef302 is selling we're going to click on this one okay this item is no longer available for sale so never mind let's move on this one sold on July 6th this one to $121 $77 so this is a high ticket category storage benches and I would recommend after watching this video that you guys try adding 20 products just from this category just because I looked at it really quick and we can already see that this one is actually selling pretty well okay so check out this guy sold 51 times and this one is selling a lot like recently not sells from a year ago July, June a few times in May and April and so forth so what you want to do now is get this product and find it on your dropshipping suppliers and try to find it on a cheap price where you can actually make some profit here so that is another way of finding products to sell I'm sorry I'm not looking at you guys chat so let's go back to the chat a little bit and see what other questions you guys are asking you can no longer see my screen let's open up the chat thank you for the info can I drop ship items from my country outside the USA to USA so not teacher of course you can drop ship items from your country from outside the USA to USA that is exactly what I am doing and when you're an international seller and you're selling to the US then notice on each transaction that eBay is going to take first of all they're going to take 11.7% transaction fee for all of your transactions and they're going to add another 1.3% international fee which is what they're charging me maybe in your country it's different so my break even today is 13% with PayPal it was 13.55% so it's 0.5% less now with the managed payment systems with Payoneer so yeah of course you can drop ship from but your question was from your country to the USA so you mean drop shipping physical products from your country of course you can do that but when you drop ship from the US to the US you're going to get faster shipping times you can get much better business policies when you set your business policies with eBay your shipping times are going to be faster and your customers are going to enjoy faster shipping times so that's definitely a thing that you want to have if you can ship your products the more you can raise your price because lots of US customers don't mind paying $50 for a product instead of $20 or $30 from China but get it much faster when they pay $50 because it's shipped from the US to the US so you can drop ship from your country I don't know where that is to the US but you will notice that US customers will appreciate faster shipping much more and they'll pay a higher price for that so you can profit more when I drop ship it's 90% from the US to the US another 10% is coming from hip shipper which is opening international policies for all of my listings so the whole world can see my listings so I'm getting a lot more views and even more sales this way but that's a different topic what other questions are you guys asking let's go echo I'm sorry about the echo guys I'm going to tone my voice down even more can we start with WooCommerce Ashish that is a great question stay tuned I don't want to spoil the surprise but really stay tuned in this following week and you're going to like the answer I don't think I'm allowed to tell you guys yet but stay tuned that's espresso cleared it up norb so you're saying that yes espresso cleared up the echo let's drink some more okay guys I love your channel sir thank you SLBS use a template for eBay listing cause to decrease myself and seller faster please help I'm trying to understand your question use templates for eBay listing cause to decrease myself and seller level no using a template is not going to decrease yourselves and it's not going to decrease your seller level SLBS no if your seller level was decreased you should check out your seller performance on eBay and see what's going on there why did your seller level decrease what are your seller metrics maybe you didn't ship out your products on time maybe you have open cases that you haven't resolved and the buyer asked eBay to step in one too many times maybe you didn't update tracking information on time so your template for eBay is fine just as long as you're not writing anything that you're not allowed to write I don't think that's the case for you so no that your your template is not why you're getting decreased sales and a decreased seller level okay what are the questions guys how can I identify vero items or words before listing an item great question Dilru Silva so the AutoDS platform has a huge running database that's updating all the time with vero items and for those of you who don't know vero products are products that you're not allowed to sell and that's because it's copyrighted it's trademarked and it's not for you to resell you guys don't need to worry too much about it because when you're here working at AutoDS then when you're working with AutoDS as your platform every time you try to import a product and it's copyrighted AutoDS will let you know so you'll get a little explanation with a message this product is vero and you'll also get the explanation why it's vero so for example if it's because the manufacturer for example is Apple okay like you're trying to sell an iPhone then it'll tell you in the error message this product is vero Apple is in the manufacturer and then you look at the manufacturer and the item specifics and you'll see really this product came from Apple I really cannot sell this product and when you try to sell something for the Apple iPhone like for example you want to sell a case and Apple didn't create this case it's just some third party seller that would be more than happy for you to drop ship their products then when you try to upload that product you may still get a vero message because Apple is somewhere in the product's description or iPhone is somewhere in the product's description but it's fine what you do is in the product's title make sure that you're writing that it is a cell phone case for Apple iPhone but don't start with Apple iPhone case because then the buyer will think that Apple is the manufacturer here and then you can get a vero violation for that so make sure that you're saying that it's for the trademark product and that way it'll be fine so you don't so for your question deal with silver vero items you don't need to worry too much about that when you will import the product to AutoDS you'll get the vero message from there and from there you can decide if you still want to continue with the import process or if you want to delete this product from your list okay let's look at some more questions that you have guys which is better eBay or Etsy Bijou nice question what is better eBay or Etsy we support Etsy today I personally have not dropped on Etsy or used them as a supplier yet I really want to I want to find the time to do that I have seen other dropshippers who have used Etsy as a supplier and I see that it's actually working quite well for them because it's not saturated and not too many people know about Etsy and when you're getting into these unsaturated markets and more are coming up all the time you will have the upper hand when it comes to profiting and anyone who's been dropshipping on eBay for more than five years knows exactly what I'm talking about so eBay or Etsy I couldn't really answer that right now but I do believe that eBay has a much larger customer base much more organic traffic to bring to your store but on the other hand the competition there is more fear so I would love it if you would check out Etsy and let me know what you think also but we have our eyes on Etsy we added them as a supplier you guys can already import their products and resell them on your selling channels okay next let's see Guy Holtzman you wrote in Hebrew so thank you for the compliment okay I'm doing Amazon US Prime to Shopify US how would you phrase the shipping if an order is placed on Wednesday should I say it's going to arrive like in two to six business days weekends example July 12 okay Stephen so another good question I want to address this one so if you're dropshipping on Amazon US Prime to Shopify US you know quite well that most of your products are arriving within two days sometimes it can take longer three days four days there are times when it can even take five to six days so in this case I would definitely say two to six business days and this way you also have a safety net so if you have two to six business days on your Shopify policies on your shipping policies or your terminal service or you put it by the way for anyone who's dropshipping on Shopify you guys have to make sure that you have your legal pages up and ready okay legal pages in terms of service frequently asked questions shipping and returns okay because if you're dropshipping on Shopify you have a Shopify store your buyers have no idea when they're going to get their products they don't have easy set policies like we do on eBay so set your policies correctly okay make sure that you have these legal pages if you guys don't know how to set up these legal pages go to www.bios.com slash courses you have a free Shopify course that yours truly recorded and it took me a long time to record that course for you guys and it's completely free 100% free watch that course you'll get to the part of the legal pages and I created templates for you guys legal pages all you have to do is just fill in the blanks like your store's name and things like that your email address the supporting address so make sure that you have your legal pages and you got away from the questions so sorry Steven regarding the shipping time 2-6 business days is perfect why because most customers are actually going to receive it in that time and then you also got an extra safety net so if it takes more time like 3-4 or 5 days you're covered and when you're saying business days then Friday Saturday and Sunday is not included so you got 2 extra days on the weekend and in most cases once again Amazon Prime 2-8 shipping in 90% of the cases from the US to the US so when a customer gets their product in 1 or 2 days but they know that it could have taken up to 6 business days they're going to be really happy about that because they expected more and then they're going to give you a positive feedback on Shopify it's not really a positive feedback but it could be a returning customer which is something that you really want on Shopify so yes 2-6 business days that doesn't include the weekend that's what business days means keep it on that ok next question guys what's going on Bruno good morning if you don't live in the USA how do you drop shipping in the US Facebook marketplace ok Bruno that's a good question if you don't live in the US you actually cannot there are methods to do it I'm not going to get into it in this life but there are ways to do it but if you don't live in the US try looking at other sign channels for now there's enough profit to be had not just on the Facebook marketplace even though it's a great place to drop ship on today ok let's see what else hello I drop ship from Amazon from France can I copy your method ok I've seen so hello to you in France Amazon from France yes out of there supports Amazon from France if you guys don't know what our supplier is let me just share my screen really quick ok guys what's going on here ok guys check out this page www.autolidia.com's last suppliers here you have all of the suppliers that Autolidia supports today ok you can click on any region if you want to see only suppliers in that region so to answer your question let's live on France and as you see here you have Autolid Express Amazon and eBay so you can use all of them as suppliers for your store so if you drop shipping on eBay you can drop ship from Amazon France to eBay and in this case I would recommend drop ship on eBay France that way you're offering domestic shipping the shipping will be really fast and very effective ok so to answer your question yes you can definitely drop ship from Amazon France and to answer your other question popping your methods yes one thing that I don't recommend to do is copy one by one what you actually want to do is you want to be able to think and generate your own ideas now how are we going to get these ideas from products that are selling that is what I've been doing on my drop shipping store and it's been working for over 4 years now and today I'm barely quitting and our offer on my drop shipping store is not proud of it, I want to put more time and I'm just spending a lot of time also here to make the system what it is today but yeah in general you can easily you can copy methods when you see a drop ship that's selling a product really well you're copying his product that's absolutely fine but you want to find more products that are similar to the ones that are selling and I always stress this out in my product research videos so you find a product that's selling well for you, for anyone else, great look for more products that are similar to that more variations, more colors different features but a product that's the same similar to the one that's selling that's where you're going to create your own selling trend so when you see a drop ship that's sold 50 times like the one that I just showed you guys just about 10 minutes ago you saw that he sold the product many 50 times and I've had that on my product too that is when you're not copying the same product with someone else because someone is already selling that product so copying is good getting your own ideas regenerating your own product research ideas from there is great that's where you want to start your own selling trend and if I showed you guys my drop shipping store I haven't copied anything from any seller in the past 2 years and I'm not exaggerating when I say that that's because I already know about the categories that will sell well I have more products to import than new ideas and once again I'm not copying sellers anymore, it's something I used to do in the beginning every product that I'm selling if I would show it to you guys and I'm sorry that I can't because I know what's going to happen it's already happening every product that I'm selling I'm creating my own titles I'm optimizing my product descriptions so every title is unique for me and every product that I'm selling you'll see at least 10 more drop shippers that are copying the same title the same product not optimizing anything dropping the price from what I'm selling and I'm still selling more than them why? because eBay is giving me the higher preference here okay next question okay Steven so I answered your question on Amazon you asked to Shopify US how to do SEO product title for more impressions sir okay so yes SEO product title I don't know which selling channel you're talking about it could be eBay it could be Shopify and the rules are different from those selling channels on eBay what you want to do is get keywords from drop shippers who are selling a product that's similar to what you want to sell and get the strongest keywords from their product title but also add your own which is what I just talked about so other drop shippers that are selling a product well most likely they know what they're doing most likely they're doing something right so you want to get that something right so get their strong keywords on eBay and make sure the keywords are relevant for your product delete the keywords that are not relevant not strong you can use keyword finder just search for it on Google and it will help you get ideas for keywords but the best way to find keywords is simply search for it on eBay and see what titles of other sellers are giving this product and then add delete some words that are a little bit weak and add more words that are stronger that are relevant for your product that are relevant to the product that you are selling that is eBay SEO now the product title on eBay is more important than a product title on Shopify because when someone searches for a product on eBay what he searches for on eBay search engine and the title that you wrote that's what's going to bring that connection so the more correct keywords you write for your product the more impressions you'll get on your listings and the more sales on Shopify it's different SEO search engine optimization for Google there's a lot of work to be done when it comes to SEO and it's in order to get a good SEO title there are some tools that can help you do that for Shopify but what you do want to do is use extensions like quality sector I don't know if you guys know about that extension but just search for quality sector right now on Google and you'll get to the extension and this extension will help you guys see all of the Shopify stores so when you enter a Shopify store it will tell you hey this is a Shopify store these are the products that this guy is selling this is where he's getting it from and you'll get more information from that extension and it's free to use so from there you can see what products people are selling and what titles they're giving their products when it comes to SEO and Google and Shopify it's a whole world I can't really get to it in this life but keep the keywords relevant the title, the product description and the main keywords, repeat it a few times in your product page if I'm selling I don't know a cup then I need to make sure that the word cup and maybe I don't know silver or stainless steel or glass cup I need to make sure to repeat those words a few times throughout the product page so that when Google cross the website my product page on Shopify they'll know exactly what this page is because the caller is a robot and in order to have a robot you just want to feed him the relevant keywords so work hard on your keywords on Shopify and that's how you're going to do the basic SEO optimization okay so that answers your question SLBS deal with silver, what is the best PDT time, PDT time to list an item on eBay, both auction and fixed price listing okay deal with silver so when I list items on eBay I usually don't do auctions at all I don't think I ever did an auction only fixed price listings and it depends once again on your target audience so if you're auctioning on eBay US for the US audience then you want to import the product or upload the product at mostly in the morning time for the US audience so for example if 10 p.m. your time is 8 a.m. 9 a.m. for the US then that is when you should schedule your product I know when you're working with AutoDS and you import products you can schedule to upload them at any date and time that you want so choose a time that's morning time for the Americans they wake up in the morning with their morning coffee or their morning cereal they open up their phones and they'll see your listing because eBay for the first few hours after you upload your listing they give you much better visibility for your listing this live has been going for 37 minutes now and I know 50 factors for your questions so deal with silver the best time is when your target audience wakes up in the morning okay let's see sound has an echo for your information yes black girl I know both of that I will fix it on the next live I promise you guys stay tuned for the next live we'll get a much better microphone okay is there a website or tool that can tell me which niche products sold the most in 2020, 2019, 2018 etc Mr. Hacker that's actually a good question but I'm not sure how relevant it is because drop shipping the products move so fast and there's new products that are always coming out all the time and even new niches that are coming out and things that sold last year and two years ago I have never looked at them once during my history of drop shipping and I don't see what kind of information that's going to give you but what you should do is just look at YouTube videos that people posted during those years and see what products they recommended but go with someone who is a real drop shipper from real experience and not just any channel trying to get hits you can also use tools but the tools that I know about are showing you the recent products that sold them in the last few months not in the last few years but it's not really relevant for drop shipping like I said I've never done it I've never looked back I always just look forward I look back to see what sold them in the last couple of months and then I wait for why is there a multiple location choice for there is a choice for that I'm actually doing it you can just write multiple locations instead of writing a CD and that works fine but any questions just use the chat below I showed you guys in the beginning of this live how to get to it we have real life people sitting there just waiting for your guys tickets or live chat okay I'm very new at this importing products from drafts to product store is in progress for hours you're not missing anything open up the chat support I have no problems importing products to the drafts it doesn't get stuck in progress for hours open up the chat I promise okay more questions how can I know if the product is from Amazon or Walmart you mean as the buyer or as the seller as the seller you know where the product is coming from importing products to auto-DS then you can see where the product is coming from let me show you guys the products page from v2 if you guys haven't seen it yet okay let's open the dashboard let's go to the products page okay so here's the products page and if there's ever any problem with you can open up a chat here as I showed you guys before there's also an exclamation here if there's any problem with your products like for this example this product has pending changes and will be updated on facebook marketplace this is a product that I uploaded to the facebook marketplace and there was probably a change on the supplier side and now auto-DS is changing it on auto-DS and on our facebook store so here you can see which store you got the product on so this is on my facebook store I've got things on bestshop USA which is a Shopify store I also have an ebay store that we can't see here so this is where you're getting the products from so to answer your question you got the buy id here the source product id the supplier where you're getting the product from and where you're sending it so this product is I'm buying it from amazon and I'm selling it on the facebook marketplace okay more questions guys more questions we've got less than 20 minutes left for this live it's actually moved way faster than I expected so ask your most important questions right now guys you're getting real answers from a real dropshipper live today and I love dropshipping if you guys haven't figured that out yet okay so how do you know if products coming from amazon or walmart that's how you know from the auto-DS system your customers will not they could know if you're talking about the customers then they could know but I can count on one hand how many times a customer has reached out to me about where the product came from like oh this came in an amazon box or walmart box if it's on amazon then you just send it as a gift so they can't see what price you paid for it and it comes in some gift packaging if you're in the fulfilled by auto-DS service then you're getting gift the product will be gifted automatically so on amazon it's not a problem walmart home depot they'll see the boxes but they just don't care okay you guys have to understand this for those who haven't tried dropshipping yet customers do not care where the product is coming from and if you ever bought something for example from aliexpress then you know that aliexpress it's just a website full of chinese dropshippers there is no stock, no warehouses it's just chinese sellers chinese dropshippers who speak english that are buying from chinese retail stores who don't know english and then you got the chinese sellers in between and then you got us the end customers so if you ever bought something even from aliexpress they dropshipped that item from somewhere else okay so they won't care more than that 97% of them will not care where the product is coming from and anyone who is dropshipping you guys know exactly what i mean okay more questions thank you for the live, i love your content thank you nina okay let's see is it better to import a lot of products or target the most selling items and have a small shop by the way guys i'm trying to get to all of your questions so sorry if i skipped some is it better to import a lot of products or target the most selling items that have a small shop is it better to import a lot of products or target the most selling items that have a small shop so yassin if you're still testing out products you don't know what you need to sell yet you need to try to see what other dropshippers in your niche are selling products that are similar to the ones that are selling and then test them out okay you can sell the same products but you want to find similar ones to import a lot of products so in the beginning when you're product testing you don't want to test it 5 each time or 10 each time it's going to take you a long time to start seeing results so in the beginning start with a lot of products and then slowly start deleting the bad performers and those that are getting views and better yet are getting sells simply multiply it by getting more products like that but keep always look for more product always try to test more products today I only have 2 ebay stores only right it's not a lot but the profit is great and I'm using the second store to research products for the first store so the first store knows what they're doing knows what it's doing also the sell through conversion rate is high and the second store is always testing out new products and new niches and when I find a good seller I just move it to the main store so the main store is working well the second store is profitable but that's how I test my products so in the beginning test a lot and then slowly start to break it down once you start finding your sellers ok more questions more questions masu masu is there any amazon cashback site you can suggest so when I was processing my orders manually I used to use topcashback.com but in time they started taking out most of the categories that they're giving cashback on so today I'm not using any cashback if you're looking for more profit just raise your prices so in the beginning when I first started dropshipping I started out around the 5% profit margin because I just thought oh my god it's so saturated and I have to be cheaper than everyone else and I have to reinvent the wheel to start selling and that's so wrong you can sell products don't worry about the prices at least at a 40% profit margin and I'm not afraid to say that that is completely the truth if there is tax then maybe it will go down to about 30% but I'm always in between the 30-40% profit margin range and I don't care what's going on in the competition because people are buying and it's working as long as you know what you are selling ok so regarding cashback just raise your profits if it's not enough for amazon us to Shopify should I have a track order page I'm using fulfilled by autoDS but I'm a little bit confused how the tracking works and updates ok so Steven if you're using a fulfilled by autoDS you don't need to worry about tracking I'm also using the fulfilled by autoDS ever since amazon started locking accounts about 2 years ago if it's already 3 years ago I was fulfilling all my orders automatically and then sooner than later amazon started locking accounts that are using lots of gift cards and then I started automating my orders with fulfilled by autoDS and then I was like wow how did I use this before first it was just automatic orders where it was using your buyer account and your payment settings and then fulfilled by autoDS came out now you don't need any account all you need to do is load balance and autoDS uses their own accounts to fulfill your orders so that's just been amazing tracking and updates so that's completely automated I definitely recommend using fulfilled by autoDS 13 minutes left guys ok so tracking updates is completely automated on fulfilled by autoDS Steven you definitely don't need to worry about that as soon as you get an order you notice that autoDS fulfills it for you and as soon as the order is shipped from your supplier and keep your eye on that you'll notice that autoDS will switch the status of your order on autoDS to shipped and also your customer will be updated because it will also update on your Shopify store so tracking updates is completely automated keep your eye on it and you will see it too and of course if there's any technical problems just open up a chat and they'll check what's wrong so you don't need to be too confused about that everything is automated once you started the fulfill by autoDS thank you so much for your answer you're doing a great job so you're completely welcome that's what we're here for and that's what I'm here for in this live chat love your video for auto fulfillment you have Amazon as a supplier do you have more companies last bug yes we have for fulfill by autoDS today you can use all of the suppliers that we work with that are in the US and charge with a US dollar currency so you can use Amazon Aliexpress to see other suppliers once again that we have that support that charge in US dollar currency that are US suppliers so once again you can go to autoDS.com slash suppliers and see what suppliers we have click on the US like I showed you guys before in this live click on the US and you will see all of the US suppliers that we support all of them that charge in the US dollar currency you can use the fulfill by autoDS servers don't worry about having your own buyer accounts don't worry about credit card line at the bank everything is automated just load balance will fulfill your orders update tracking and all of that ok more questions before we end this live ok great vid and sound is good now I didn't really do anything I don't know why the sound is good but I'm glad to hear that in autoDS what are the best numbers to enter to make a profit smith that's a very general question so don't go don't try to be too competitive as long as you're selling a product that people want to sell and you're giving it at a good marketing angle people will buy it ok so use whatever profit margin you want to profit ok needs to make sense don't go for a 300% profit margin because people are not you know done but 30% 40% 50% there's absolutely no worry about that people will buy this mouse at you know $10 and it can also be sold at $20 ok because a mouse a computer mouse can sell at this price at this normal price range so there is no magic number when it comes to profits but don't have a low profit you're not going to profit you're going to work hard at the end of the month you're going to be like wow I sold $10,000 but where's the profit where's the money 30% profit margin at least you can even start at 20% ok in the beginning start at 20% and slowly raise that number when you start seeing the sales now here's another thing that you should do in AutoDS you have automation settings for your pricing so you can set that when a product is selling well for you AutoDS will increase the price slowly so that every time it sells you'll make more profit and more profit once it stops selling AutoDS will start to decrease the price slowly slowly until it starts to sell again until you find that sweet spot so you also have automation settings if you don't have time to look at the prices all day every day and you can set a stop loss limit or a maximum profit limit so that you'll never go below any number or you won't go above any number that's going to help you understand what the sweet spot is for your products that you are selling ok less than 10 minutes left all top rated sellers maintain simple product description but they get more sales and watches why I'm not a top rated seller and I'm selling well don't look at that guys take your focus off of what's not important being a top rated seller maybe it might give you a good feeling but besides that don't worry about it you can sell enough you can profit way more than enough it's all about product research and customer support of course I didn't even talk about customer support this whole life because nobody asked anything about customer service but it's very very important ok so well this chat is getting really really big and filled up so what are the best numbers to mentor a profit that I answered that what is the recommended amount of suppliers to use per dropshipping store ok Nina that's a good question the recommended amount of suppliers so never work with one supplier that's the number one tip that I can give you here especially if it's Chinese suppliers like AliExpress the best example that we can give and that's because as you guys know the Chinese have all kinds of holidays that we are not accustomed to and suddenly they can go on a holiday for two weeks, three weeks, four weeks and they won't fulfill your orders suddenly you see that you have a whole bunch of orders that are piling up and you have to ship them at a certain amount of time and you can't do it so what you want to do is always work with more than one supplier but even if you're working with a US supplier still work with more than one so you can work with Amazon, Walmart Home Depot we all have three so if one problem ever happens with one supplier like you sold a product and you're not using any automated service to fulfill your orders you wake up in the morning product is out of stock on your suppliers website so you can move on to the next supplier because many products are shared within different suppliers sometimes they may look a little bit different but it's the same product so always work with more than one supplier I always recommend to work with three because if you're going to work with five or seven or more than that it's going to get too confusing even though AutoDS maintains everything and you can see everything on one screen work with three suppliers in the beginning work with one up to two, up to three and leave it around that leave them out and get around the supplier so Nina that should answer your question when do you get an invitation from eBay for Payoneer so last I already joined the eBay management system I joined last week I think it's a great thing that eBay did the only thing that I dislike about it is the amount of time that you have to wait to get the payment eBay says that you get the payment within two days but that doesn't include the weekend so that's four days and sometimes Payoneer can take another day from the time eBay sends the transaction until you see it on your Payoneer account so it can take up to five days and then you know that you have to pay for your orders one week in advance so make sure that you have a threshold of an amount a balance enough of a balance to fulfill your orders one week in advance that's the only thing besides that it works great there is less of a transaction fee because eBay used to take for me 9.15% plus 4.4% so that's about 13.55% on every transaction and now we're taking 13% so that's 0.55% less it may sound less but when you're selling in huge numbers you know where I'm getting at okay so do US sellers have advantages versus the world on eBay with managed payments so I'm already with managed payments and if you haven't gotten the invitation yet you will get it soon and don't worry about it I mean it's fine, it's easy, it works great and there is no advantage of people that have eBay managed payments to those that don't have it my second store is only now going through the verification process with Payoneer so my big store my main store is already connected the little store is only connecting now and I'm still getting payments on PayPal during that time and it's still selling the same as before so no difference and my main store is selling just the same as before it joined the Payoneer service okay we got 4 minutes left guys how to overcome the Facebook marketplace limit reach for a new account? Rule I out, Islam Rafa so to answer your question you worked literally talking about the selling limit then after $500 Facebook asks you to enter your social security settings and pass a small verification process in order to get more orders so if that's the limit that you're talking about what you need to do is simply fill in that information that they're looking for and if you don't have a social security number then that's why you shouldn't be dropshipping on the Facebook marketplace at this time okay, last few minutes let me just read some more of this Jay Walter fulfilled by Autodesk works fine it works absolutely fine open up the chat see what problem you're having and I promise that they'll fix it I'm really personally working on fulfill by Autodesk I don't know what I would do without her today and I'm not just saying that because I work at Autodesk guys because I've been a dropshipper at Autodesk way before I started working here and I'm still a dropshipper today I would never give up my source ever and I've got nice offers from people who are looking to buy digital assets okay, last few questions, amazing content I love your videos, best channel ever I'm there, thank you very much can you explain the Autodesk finder Guy Holtzman yes, I will try to do it in the last two minutes okay, let me share my screen okay, let's go Autodesk finder, what is the Autodesk finder so on the Autodesk system I'm going to click on add products and here, instead of just entering the buy URL or uploading CSV to upload items in bulk you can simply use the Autodesk finder what this does is it takes the best selling products that are selling for other dropshippers and other suppliers and it simply adds them to your store so if you don't have time for product research this will do the work for you okay now in order to get this to work let's see the credits right here okay, so you need to have here buy more, so what you need to do is have these credits and once you buy credits you can use those credits to pay for these for the Autodesk finder products that they're finding for you and each category here shows you exactly what you're getting and how much you're going to pay for it so the basic one is going to give you products three times in the last month and each product will cost one credit if you go to this one to best sellers then you're going to pay four credits for each product that Autodesk will find and add to your store automatically but it will find items that sold at least eight times in the last month so they're getting you much better products with a much higher potential of selling and you also have coupon products so to get a high chance of products that already have a discount coupon inside like on Amazon like five dollars off or ten percent off so they'll find you those products where you can actually profit more I would recommend going to either the best sellers or coupon products I'm personally using the best sellers a lot when I was in the product research phase it helped me find some really good products okay guys, last minute, last minute, last minute, let's go last questions this slide is so helpful, thank you Steven can you explain the Autodesk finder again? yes, I just did that okay, oh my god I didn't know let's do suppliers game changer, thank you you're welcome, slide hustle guy let's see let's see, how can I delete this things I've got this message this item cannot be accessed because this thing has been deleted or you are not a seller open up the chat, you'll get it fixed what else, what else okay, that looks like we were wrapping it up guys this slide is so helpful one more question, if that's okay Amazon US non-prime products have very many shipping times should I update the tracking date every day or is there some way to sync these changes dates to Shopify I didn't understand your question really if you're using the Fufuda Autodesk service you don't need to update tracking information so yeah, you said that you were using the Autodesk system, the Fufuda Autodesk so you don't need to worry about that okay guys, this wraps up the live I hope that you guys enjoyed it, I actually enjoyed it I can't believe that one hour passed and I started I will do this slide more I will get a better microphone next time like I said sorry for the echo guys, what I'm trying to do here is simply offer a whole bunch of valuable information check out our YouTube page check out our blog page just see the kind of content that we're giving out there for free just like this live QA guys so if you guys enjoyed it, just let me know I will do it some more and we'll get to much better topics and we'll dive much deeper into more things that you guys want to know about product research and things that we simply couldn't get to because there were simply so many questions and this was the general QA so thank you guys that wraps this up I'm going to read the chat once again after this just to read you guys a couple of minutes because I like it thank you for watching and I'll see you on the next live, we'll update you guys
