Dropshipping is really amazing business for a beginner, someone who is starting out because there is literally no risk. When you are starting out, the only thing you have to pay for is the Shopify plan which is 29$ a month and you might have to pay for the domain name. The beautiful part about dropshipping is that you don’t take any inventory risk.
At the beginning with drop shipping, you can test out if a product is good. You can build a brand in a drop shopping store.
Initially you don’t have to order a hundred or a thousand units because there are a lot of suppliers out there who will drop ship for you. They also put nice logo on it and they do it very well with great packaging and great branding design. That way, you are not taking any risk on the inventory.
When you want to get customers on your store to pay for your product, then and only then, you will send the money and pay your supplier.
For example: If someone pays you 50 dollars on your store and you pay for the product10 dollars to your supplier. Then you pocket the difference between 40$, for ad you spent 10$ to acquire the customer. So, 30 dollars is your profit and that’s amazing.
This is the area that I highly recommend to go by.
1: Wow factor: Your product must have a wow factor.
2: Great Quality and Great new Design: The product must be high quality. It must have great quality and great new design. If you find product on Ali express and the quality is bad then your store will always be hindered. The better the product and the quality is, the better you set yourself up for faster and more success from the beginning.
3: find the product on Ali express or Ali Baba: Ali express is the most common and the most competitive drop shipping website
4: Passionate niche /target market: if your product is in passionate niche target like camping, hiking, fishing or beauty, then people are very passionate about such awesome products.

Which apps we should install onto our Shopify store?
There are a lot of amazing apps on Shopify. Shopify has rapidly grown and continue to grow. There are free ones and paid ones. The paid ones are usually the ones that we recommend you. They will pay off themselves way more and will make you way more profit.
1: Order Lookup App:
This app allows us to install like an order look-up onto our store. It looks great because if we are having a supplier ship, then when a customer get a tracking number, he can just go onto the website and he will see a perfect order look-up number. You can go to question section and basically have your own answers to those questions.
2: Loox review:
Loox app allows us to have pictures reviews on our page. It actually lets you post your own reviews at the very beginning. This is why it is super important to have great reviews at the beginning.
3: Klaviyo:
Klaviyo is another interesting pick for the list. It is an email marketing app.
4: Oberlo:
If you want to use the old way of copying and pasting the products from Ali express, you would need Oberlo. This is not branded shipping. You are basically just copying and pasting. This method doesn’t work very well.

Navigation:
Now getting all the pages that you need. Click on navigation, go to main menu. Create buttons. For example: contact us, menu item can be Shop handset.
The technical stuff in Shopify:
Domain Name:
When you create Shopify store, it is not by default. So we must have a proper domain name. Connect your domain after you have purchased. Go on google domains. Type in your domain for example Barbecue pro.com. So you probably will see that often such names are taken. Sometimes you have to dig deep to choose a powerful domain name that is appealing and looks pragmatic. It really helps your store appear on top of the list.

E-mail Marketing:
If you overlook e-mail marketing, that’s a huge mistake because e-mail marketing is a huge part of becoming profitable with your Shopify store. There’s two things in regular Shopify store; the front end and the back end.
The front end is when customers go onto our store, they see our ad and buy from our actual sales page.
But most of the money will be made on your back end. You can never rely on just running ads or constantly getting to have new customers to go on your store and purchase your product. It’s always better to sell to the same customer than it is to acquire a new customer. That is why we have to develop our back end.
Running Paid Ads:
There are a lot of different ad sources and types of traffic that you can run. For examples: Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, Google Ads, YouTube Ads, Pinterest Ads, and Bing. But the best ones that we highly recommend are Facebook ads and Google Ads.
Facebook Ads:
Facebook ads are amazing because if you have some money to spend with slightly higher budget even 300 or 400 dollars, then you can really give your store a big huge jump start. It is massive for drop shipping.
Google Ads:
Google ads is virtually guaranteed to be profitable for you because people who already know your store and search for your product online will get to you right away.
Instagram Influencers:
We live in influencer’s age. Influencers are amazing and businesses have been built to the billions of dollars just on influencers. This is fantastic if you have around 300 to 400$ budget. Influencer’s ad is always best.
Important tips for Shopify Success:
Many people try to start this business, they get into e-commerce and they fail. The biggest reasons why people fail. It all comes down to few reasons:
1: Take Action:
The biggest to succeed is to simply take action. If you take actions, it means you are serious about changing your life. Put everything into practice.
2: Don’t give up:
Many people won’t make sale right away. But you should get used to Shopify and design your store so that it looks nice. Don’t rush things.
3: Product not selling:
Your funnel is only as good as your weakest link. Your entire store is marketing funnel. It is a great way for you to get customers, to sell a product. If your product is not selling, try to find your weakest link. It can be anything like the price may be too high, may be your pictures are not good enough. Try to emulate your competitor’s strategies and improve on them.
Yes, you can. It doesn’t matter wherever you are in the world. The ability to work from anywhere is really attractive. Today, there are incredible opportunities for people to change their lives with online business with drop shipping. With e-commerce, we are undergoing the craziest transformation in history and e-commerce is huge. In fact, e-commerce is going to be 100 times bigger than what it is now.
You can start with as little as 200$ or 300$. That’s enough money for you to get your store up and running. The great part about drop shipping is that you don’t need a lot of money in the beginning.
Can’t customer just go on Ali express and buy it themselves?
Yes, they can but they won’t. There is reason why there are so many successful brands out there. All the products are made in china. They all can be found on Ali Express. But people still want to buy the product in their online stores, not from Ali express. Why? Because people want quality. Quality only comes If you build a brand and that is why branded drop shipping is the perfect way to start. It is the true way to win on Shopify.
