DROP SHIPPING BUSINESS MODEL:

Supplier product shipped Customer

Middle man

Dropshipping is a fulfillment method (the entire process from receiving an

order to delivering to a client or customer). where a store doesn’t keep the
products it sells in stock. Instead, the store purchases the item from a
third-party supplier and has it shipped directly to the customer. As a result, the
seller doesn’t have to handle the product directly.
A Shopify app or store connects you and your store to thousands of suppliers.
OBERLO is a plugin or extension which is connected to your Shopify store, Once a
customer buys a product, you’ll be able to fulfill their order in the Oberlo app.
Oberlo automates this process. As the store owner, all you have to do is
check that the details are correct and click the “‘order”’ button. The product is
then sent directly from the AliExpress dropshipping supplier to the
customer—wherever in the world they may be.

WHY DO PEOPLE FAIL IN DROPSHIPPING??

a) Low rate of store interaction

The theme should be optimized and appealing to the customer

Boost your theme add to cart, Free delivery, Money back guarantee, Warranty,
how many people are looking now, Low stock scarcity.

Use some Apps to boost the theme e.g.; LOOX (review app)

c) Testing wrong product

Focus on Product research to get a better product to test.

D) Low Bleeding budget

Bleed (invest) to search our winning product.

Low bleeding budget low chance to get target product even if you are good in
product hunting.

High Budget High chance of success

Good earning products at other Shopify stores don’t need to also give you good
earning.

Every Shopify store has a different winning product.

Shopify store’s Testing/bleeding budget should be at least 80% of your budget.

There are some strategies to search for winning products at a low bleeding budget.
(Work smartly)

e) Confused Facebook Pixel

FACEBOOK PIXEL which is available on your website tracks the visitors of your page.

For example, we run an ad of different price products on our Fb page to get traffic, pixel
judge that traffic, and get confused that which could be its target market either it is
low-cost visitors, avg. cost or high-cost target.

Train your pixel.

f) Choosing the wrong supplier

Check the credibility of supplier through DROP SHIPPING CENTRE

Don’t interact with avg. or low logistic reliability (quality attributes of logistic) always
choose a supplier with excellent supplier reliability.

g) Bad pricing strategy

Product price should be 20$ to 30$

If we fix high prices there will be High-risk factors.

Customers can ask for a refund as there is a long delivery time and he can give you a
bad review.

(Session 01 Part B)

h) Bad customer support which can lead to a low Facebook feedback score
If a customer interacts with your page Facebook ask him for a review

Facebook feedback score is between 0-5

If it drops by 2 FB can give you a penalty.

Interact properly with customers to avoid negative feedback.

WHY PEOPLE WILL BUY FROM US??

“Product selection criteria”

· Product cost should be 20$ to 30$.

(Customer will not research this price)

· Product should be unique

(not available nearby)

· Product should have WOW factor

(eye-catchy, engaging to customer)

· Product should not be common/FMCG

(Fast-moving consumer goods are products that sell quickly at relatively low cost. These
goods are also called consumer packaged goods.)

· Product should be socially proven

(it has enough likes, comments,d share)

· Store should be interactive with the customer

 · Product should be problem-solving

“Strategy of the first sale”

First run your ­add at a low like cost countries, e.g.: Pakistan, India, Africa,
Philipines when you get enough likes it will become socially proven then you can
run your ad internationally.

BUSINESS COSTING
· UK company registration

· UK virtual no.

· UK registered address

· PayPal fees

· Monzo fees

· Shopify plan cost

· App cost

· Refunds

· Marketing cost /product (revenue 20% to 30% usually)

MARKETING STRATEGIES
“Utilization of budget”

For General store

· 80% of Facebook ads

· 15% Instagram ads

· 5% Google ads (not useful for general store because if people search for
something then Google ad appears as a result)

FOR NICHE/PL STORE

· 60% Facebook and Instagram

· 40% Google adds (There will be proper branding and SEO)

SCIENCE OF FACEBOOK ADDS

· PIXEL Training (Data-driven) <the data we gave to FB pixel it will act
accordingly>

· Ads scalability inputs to Facebook AI (sales will not increase by

increasing budget for FB ad we train our FB AI that we want to scale <expand>
our business)

· Retargeting (FB pixel retarget different customer categories)

· Bad pricing and customer look alike

If we show low-cost products on our page, FB will always target

low-cost lovers, Facebook makes itself the customer look-alike it will
target those who also search for low-cost products.

SESSION 02 PART A
PRODUCT RESEARCH
There is a lot of method of product research. Today Product research has become very
easy due to Software (tools) for example ecomhunt, Niche scraper

We will do product research on “Ali Express”

There are two types of products:

a) WOW product factor (we will not search product of daily usage e.g.; shoes, clothes)

b) Problem-solving products (jar opener)

Both will work gook and we research these two products.

 “PRODUCT SELECTION CRIETERIA”

· Price limit = 10$<price of Ali express with shipping provided by supplier> (can
be multiple at least 3x and at max.5x.min=20$ max. =30$ range) try to choose
that product which can be sold on 5x profit.

· Product shouldn’t be available nearby

· Should have WOW effect

· Shouldn’t be common use/FMCG

· Should be winning product for other stores

We can check it manually but it is the very time taken.

The easy way to do product research is to check products on successful

dropshipping stores and start our research around that product.

· Product shouldn’t have variations

· Product shouldn’t be Health/Medical/External or internal Human intake

· Should have a video on Ali express

· Should have consistent sales graph

· Supplier rating should be +4.5 and excellent/good logistic credibility

If we visit any shop there should be 30k visitors/month

“End of session 02 part A”

Method no.01:
We will start research from most selling products.

· Go to the URL: shopistores.com

A) Go on the Dropshipping tab. A list of Top successful dropshipping

90% of sell come from the store’s winning product.

Now, we will analyze the supplier

Go on Ali express and paste the URL of chosen product apply the tool Ali

METHOD NO. 03
FB SEARCH BAR

Use different search terms on your Facebook search bar like:

● Get yours now
● 50% off

Go on videos and analyze the social proof. If a product exists on Ali express search by
image there is a 90% chance that it is a dropshipping product.
There is a rule to check sales of any website that how much traffic it is gained per day
mostly there is a 2% conversion rate.
If similar web doesn’t give the traffic data we will use another website named site
worthy, copy and paste the website URL and get the result. It will display unique
visitors that are visitors per day.

METHOD NO.02
ALI DROPSHIPPER CENTRE/DIRECT ALI EXPRESS SEARCH
This is a tool provided by AE to analyze the product, supplier, and sales volume. ]

Go on Ali dropship center -------> Hot selling

Check on the e-packet and video tab, don’t select Exclusive DS price and Free
shipping.

Epacket is a third-party shipping service in China that is used to ship small size and low
weight parcels.

At Ali dropship center there is a product bar that is suppliers. Search that product that
has high DS orders.

(End of Session 3 Part B)

Now we will analyze the sales performance of a particular supplier if it is below avg, or
low don’t consider it, whereas in logistic reliability of a supplier we must consider Good
or excellent reliability.

We can check the orders through Search volume. We will check their rating and logistic
reliability as well as search volume that should be stable. The reason behind fluctuated
or unbalanced search volume trend is most probably ads run by drop shippers that start
and stop whenever they want or they switch the supplier.

(End of part 3 session C)

Now Go to the store, mostly there are those products that are purchasing by drop
shippers. We can also pick some products.

Apply for filter Orders up there will be a random order and DS order check this ratio it
should be minimum. If there is a huge difference between them don’t go with that
product.
