RESULTS 💰
Before we get into the material, I’ve listed some results I’ve gotten with dropshipping, along with some of my students. This is not to brag. I just want to show you what’s possible with dropshipping, and that I know what I’m talking about.
WHAT IS DROPSHIPPING?
To put it simply, dropshipping is where we sell products we don’t actually hold any inventory of. We’ll be setting up a website, and promoting a product. When someone buys from our store and pays us, we’ll ask our supplier to ship the product to the customer on our behalf. We never even see the product!
All we have to do is mark up the price, and we profit the difference. If you sell the product for $80, and you buy it from the supplier for $10, you’ll make $70 for every sale! 10 sales a day would be $700 profit per day. That’s almost a quarter Million per year.
That’s how you can sell physical products without all the inherent risk that comes with it. We only buy the product AFTER the customer has already paid us. No risk.
WHY DROPSHIPPING?
I currently have 5 different online incomes streams, and Dropshipping is my favorite. It’s without a doubt, the best path to financial freedom in 2024. Nothing comes close.
Here’s why: Fast to Scale: Once you find a winner, getting to $1k/day is faster than any other online business out there. NO Inventory: No headaches with warehouses, or manufacturers. $0 Starting Budget: There are 2 ways to promote your product. First is paid ads. This is definitely faster if you have the budget. The second is organic. This is for people with $0 budget. All we have to do is make videos of our product, and post it on TikTok & Instagram reels. All the views we get from that is FREE. Sounds pretty good right? Now let’s get right into how to start!
STEP 1: PRODUCT SELECTION 🎁
This is one of the most important factors of your success.
To find products to sell for our $0 budget strategy, we’ll have to look for products that are being sold organically (without paid ads).
Make a brand new TikTok account. Make sure to use a USA SIM card to get TikToks from the USA. You can buy one from Amazon if you want. To make sure it works, go to trending sounds. If it says “USA Top 50”, it’s working.
Train your feed to show you dropshipping products.
Search up “#TikTokmademebuyit” and “#Amazonfinds, #myproductisuseless, #mywifesboyfriend”, etc.
Interact with the TikToks by liking, saving, and commenting. You should also go to their profile, click to their website, and go down the funnel as far as possible without buying the product.
Keep doing this over and over again, and your feed should soon be spamming you with dropshipping products.
Repeat for Instagram Reels!
STEP 1: PRODUCT SELECTION PART 2 🎁
Product Criteria
Has several viral videos (millions of views) posted in the last 30 days.
Has comments with buying intent.
Has a high perceived value of $30+
You don’t mind buying the product
You can easily replicate the competitor’s videos
Note: You don’t have to find a product that fits ALL of these criteria exactly, just as many as possible.
STEP 2: SUPPLIER 🚚
Alright, now that you have a product to sell, let’s talk find a supplier who can ship the product on your behalf.
Don’t listen to fake gurus out there saying you can’t use Aliexpress. That’s a myth. Aliexpress is absolutely fine, but use CJ dropshipping because it provide low prices & especially fast delivery of 2-7 days which create a main difference between it. I’ve shipped tens of thousands of orders with Aliexpress suppliers.
Once you’re making tons of sales, you can upgrade to a private supplier (just DM me if you need one).
Now here’s how to find a good supplier on Aliexpress:
Type in the product you’re looking for (or use an image)
Sort by # of orders.
Pick a supplier with lots of reviews, and a high rating (4.5+ stars). You can read the comments to make sure they look legit.
If you really want to, you can also message the supplier for reassurance, but I don’t bother with this anymore.
STEP 3: WEBSITE 🛒
Let’s move onto your website. Don’t worry if you have zero experience, because we are going to be using Shopify. This makes it so easy for complete beginners to make beautiful websites. Just pick the “Refresh” template, and use the editor.
Focus mainly on your product page, as this is the most important page. Most people don’t stray away from here.
Focus on:
Clean & Clear images
Main benefits
Irresistible Offer
Apps to Use:
Loox for Reviews but I recommend you to buy that product and submit your own review and one another benefit of buying the product which I will tell you in next steps.
Bundle Bear for Bundles
Dsers for fulfillment
Other things to include:
Brand Name & Logo (Use Namelix & Brandcrowd)
Policy Pages (Just edit the templates Shopify gives). m1l
Urgency (Sale ending soon)
Note that everything from the apps to Shopify itself has FREE trials. So if your product doesn’t work out, just cancel and start new trials. You should never have to pay until you’re making money.
STEP 4: MARKETING & ADVERTISING 🎦
Ok, everything is ready to make sales now. We just have to find some customers. This is the fun part.
“But I’m not creative, I don’t know how to make engaging videos”.
Don’t worry, neither am I, and I’ve made 7 figures from this. Here’s the secret. We’re just going to imitate what our competitors are doing. If it’s making money for them, it can make money for us. Simple, right?
So just pick out your competitors most viewed videos in the last 30 days, and recreate them.
Imitate their:
Sound
AI Voiceover
Hook
Captions
Content
Cuts
Framework
Controversy
As a beginner, don’t even try getting creative until you’ve made AT LEAST $5k in sales. At that point, you have more experience and know a bit about what you’re doing. Good artists copy, great artists steal
STEP 4: MARKETING & ADVERTISING 🎦 PART 2
“I have to buy the product? I thought this was a $0 starting budget! 😡 My whole life is a lie!”
If you buy something you’re going to use for yourself anyways, then does it really matter? If it does, then Amazon has a really good refund policy... (I’m not suggesting anything).
Once you’ve recreated their videos, start posting away!
The goal is to go viral. The more people who see your videos, the more chances you have of getting sales.
Once you hit 1k followers, you can add your website link to your bio.
On average, a video with 1 million views would get around $1-2k sales on average. This is just an average that depends on many different factors. Post 1-2 times per day for 2 weeks. If there’s no traction after that, move onto another product.
That’s it! Get ready to make some sales and print some money.
STEP 4: MARKETING & ADVERTISING 🎦 PART 3
Viral Formats
Contrast
Show how lame a competitors product is, and then show yours. Exaggerate it as much as possible. You can also show a “prototype”, and then your final product.
Reply to comments with a video
Reply to a question, but just go on about your product, and don’t answer the question. This gets them agitated, and commenting to push your video.
TIPS 🤗
When imitating a competitor’s video, pay attention to WHY they went viral.
Sometimes there’s something in the background of the video that gets people commenting (weird toys, etc)
Sometimes it’s something controversial that got people arguing in the comment section. The more engagement you can get, the more your video will be pushed out
When you have a product that does well for you, don’t be afraid to remix it and post it again. Don’t worry about followers getting sick of the same content. Milk as much money from that video as possible. You found a formula that works, so do it again.
Don’t get discouraged if your first videos completely flop. You’re new at this, it’s unlikely you’ll go viral right away. Even imitating a competitor's videos is a skill. Just keep going.
Once you’ve made some money with this organic strategy, add fuel to the fire with paid ads to watch your sales skyrocket.🚀
