I Tried Dropshipping For A Week transcript

right it's 2024 and there's a million ways to make money online this guy became a multi-millionaire selling everyday products you see on Amazon by just 21 years old I've had an eyewear company for a few years it's my smallest business it makes around 1.2 to $1.5 million a year there are people making hundreds of dollars per day just by creating pins on Pinterest in the past 5 years I've tried each and everywhere the is to make money online from crypto mining to stock trading one way to make money online that I've never tried is Drop Shipping $100,000 in sales in one month I just made $160,000 in only two weeks I made a $100,000 Drop Shipping zero to over $150,000 in just 7 days what is Drop Shipping You may ask Drop Shipping is a retail method where the online store does not keep the products in stock instead the customer makes an order the store forwards it with a payment to the Drop Shipping supplier and the supplier ships the price to the customer sounds easy right here's the thing 90% of drop sh fail in the videos that we see online and not being truthful in the next few minutes you are going to see me try Drop Shipping as a complete beginner and at the end of the video we are going to see how much money I made in my first week right just to keep the record straight I have never tried Drop Shipping I think the one time that I nearly did is I never even got around to finish in a website I was Drop Shipping some white t-shirts from China and this is like 5 years ago everything that you're going to see in this video is purely beginners [Music] yep to start out the video I watched a lot of videos about Drop Shipping and after a couple hours of just watching videos and taking notes and learning this is what I came up with my research right so I've just spent some time doing some research and um Drop Shipping and this is what I found the most important thing is product finding well what you need to find a product when you're looking for product you need to find a product that has a w factor a product that solves problem and a few people seem to suggest a product in the beauty Niche why probably because women are more likely to spend money than men online so that is that and how did you find the product well it was very simple all I had to do was create a brand new Tik Tok I went and search certain keywords like Tik Tok made me buy it cool gargets and then they start showing me more products from drop shippers any product that you think would be a good product you look at the comment section if there's interest then you know that's a good product and that's how I managed to come up with the products I'm going to show you the first product I found was this quite a lot of people are Drop Shipping this at the minute as you can see the comments are how do I order how much can I get one please so it's kind of like the people in the comment section want to buy the product so that's how you know that that's a good Drop Shipping product so this is one but then because a lot of people are Drop Shipping this right now I thought yep I ended up not going for that I went for the self cleaning hairbrush as you can see it's £242 on AliExpress but drop ship inside so selling it for $989 and it's pulling in millions in organic marketing so I think this is a good product the second product I went for is this firlus diffuser I think it's a great product for the first of season and it's only selling for £ 7 in32 on AliExpress but they're reselling it for $39.99 on Amazon and it's pulling in millions in organic market so in order for us to start making content on the product I had to order it from Amazon for next day delivery right so I have got the two products that we ordered yesterday and I think these are the brushes [Music] and this is the diffuser right so this is the diffuser I bought I'm going to take it out in a minute [Music] but this is basically a diffuser slh humidity fire and how it works is very simple you add water and some essential o if you have any and then boom you got little nice fireplace and fresh air and then we got the brushes right so that's the brush you know and then you do that you brush your hair and then boom it goes up right so I got right so I got some explaining to do just ignore this for now see with this hairbrush I need to have hair as long as this for me to make content that then I'm going to use to promote the hairbrush right but as you can see I don't have hair like this so I came up with a plan the whole idea is I'm going to record myself brushing these hair and then I can take that content and run it on social media it's better than me using my hair yep I did just thought I spend some time just creating content making sure I'm getting the angles showing them how the brush works and then after I got one of my friends to do the voiceovers for me hey guys look at this hairbrush looks like an ordinary hairbrush right but look at when I do this did you catch that this extremely unique hairbrush has retracting bristles for easy cleaning I've only written that part yeah yeah yep my exam was short live right so I've just finished shooting the content and between me and you it looks bad I just think it's bad I just don't think anyone would buy that purely because it's Man Hands and I'm selling a female product I'll show you what it looks like hey guys look at this hairbrush looks like an ordinary hairbrush right but look at when I do this did you catch that this extremely unique hairbrush is very gentle in the hair and has retracting bristles for very easy cleaning so you never have to worry about buildup and dirty brushes again get yourself one today by clicking the link below you see that I just don't like it I just think it's my hands and it's a man selling a female product I don't think it would work so this is the thing I got a friend she's going to come over and she's going to help me redo the whole thing but then this time it's going to be her hands yep the new video came out a lot better this is what it look like hey guys look at this hairbrush looks like an ordinary hairbrush right but look at when I do this did you catch that this extremely unique hairbrush is very gentle in the hair and has retracting bristles for very easy cleaning so you never have to worry about buildup and dirty brushes again get yourself one today by clicking the link below we also shout some diffuser videos and this is what they look like [Music] I spent some time working on both the websites the hairbrush and the diffuser and a couple hours later the websites are ready I'm going to show you how they look like I've already bought the domains and everything so the hairbrush one I've called it Lona hair brushes and it looks like this all right so I've added those brushes and then I priced it at £13 the description I've used Char GPT I'll be honest with you and then I've added a few gifs I've added what's included and then obviously I've added the reviews these are not genuine reviews these are fake reviews but hey when it's so show proof and the diffuser website was basically a copy paste of the hairbrush website at this point I was ready I posted the organic videos on Tik Tok and then I also started running ads I'm going to promote the diffuser organically and I'm going to run paid ads for the hairbrush right so it's the next day and I got to update for you we'll start with the paid ads I don't know why nobody told me if you're from the UK you cannot Target the US market with your Tik Tok ad campaigns anyway so we've spent £ 42 60p on ards and with that we have 500 people come to the website and out of the 500 people have come to the website our total sales are zero yep we've not got a single sale from the 500 people coming to the website now this is not good because I was thinking oh maybe it's because there's a problem with the check out it's not a problem with the check out as you can see I went and done a test um purchase and it went through perfectly fine so there's two things I can think about the website is is not great and maybe the product is not as good as I thought right so now this is day two and I have an update for you so what I've done is I feel like the website is now getting sales because there's not enough reviews right and also I think I need to add more pictures to it so what I done last night is I added reviews and I've added more pictures so we have a total of over 50 revie views on this website and over 15 pictures surely that should be enough social proof to give us a chance right so this is the following there and I got to update we have not made a single sell regardless of the changes that we made to the website as you can see we have more people coming to the website but zero sales and I don't know what the problem is but I'm not panicking just yet what I'm going to do is I'm going to change the advert so I'm going to change the creative I'm going to use a different video right so I ended up not changing the video what I done is I cut the price from $12.99 to $9.99 and something magical happened I'll show you this morning I woke up to two orders yeah boy look we got two orders I don't know if you can look and see we got two orders but this is the thing I don't think this is working so regardless of the fact that we got two orders I'm going to cancel the ODS because I just don't think this is working so we're losing so much money and the returns are not worth it but that's not the end of this video because a few days ago one of the biggest YouTubers to ever teach us about Drop Shipping dropped a video over the last couple years I've made millions of dollars with Drop Shipping and more importantly helped hundreds of thousands of people start their first successful store so today I'm going to condense my 7 years of experience into an easy to follow guide that you can use to start your first successful store this year and as you can see in that video he's basically teaching us how to start Drop Shipping in 2025 and guess what I'm going to take him up on his words I'm going to follow his advice step by step and see if at the end of it all I can have better success with Drop Shipping the first thing is that the products that you want to sell need to be trending recently right so what he means with the product needs to be trending recently is one of those products that are everywhere on Tik Tok like you know those products where you cannot miss it soon as you open your Tik Tok app is right in your face that's basically what he means and these product unfortunately does not meet the criteria like it's not trending but it got a couple million VI on it and because we're halfed challenge I'm still going to use this product the second thing is that you need to find products that actually solve a problem in people's lives right so I think this product solves a problem and the problem is messy hair brushes if we got a a messy hair brush and then look now you just take off your dead hair you need to pick a product that is not available in all the stores these people have never heard of your business before and if they feel like they can just go buy this product at Amazon or Walmart or Target they're not going to stop and give you their money I feel like it's very impossible to find a product that is not on Amazon like Bro think about it what diesl are doing is they go to a product that's trending on Tik Tok they get it and then they put it on Amazon so it's very hard to find a product that is not on Amazon I I just it's hard you know with it being in Walmart and normal supermarkets they yeah this product is not in Walmart or normal supermarkets so I think it meets the criteria the best type of store this year for testing products is a one product store right so as you can see this is a one product store there's nothing else on this look it's just one product that we selling just taking one last look at this product page I want to highlight one last thing and is that they keep it super clean and simple yep I spent some time just cleaning up the website checking out things that were not needed and as he told us I added a bandle to the website right so I've just gone and cleaned up the website and and I've added a bundle to the website that was not there before so when you're buying one products two products or three products you get a discount there's a few gips I'll be honest it's more than one and then boom straight to the review so I think this website miss the whole clean criteria that he's asking us to do but to really execute on this plan you need to learn how to run ads so I want to break down now a simple ad strategy that you can use even if you have a low budget as I said before Tok ads got way harder with the introduction of Tik Tok shop and I really believe that Facebook ads are hotter than ever before because you can take these Tik Tok shop and Tik Tok ads products and bring them over to that platform and in the past it used to be really hard to go out and find the footage for these ads but with Tik Tok shop all these creators are now trying and fighting to get a piece of the pie there are literally thousands and thousands of videos that you can go out and repurpose and use for your Facebook ads right so what he's basically saying is we are going to go to Tik Tok find the most viral videos and the videos that are very good about the products that we are going to sell we take those videos from Tik Tok and then we take them and run them as Facebook ads yep that's what I did I went to Tik Tok and got two of the most popular videos about the hairbrush and then I bought them to Facebook and use them as my ad [Music] campaign now how should you set up your actual ad campaigns I recommend you guys just use one campaign with one ad group with a broad targeting option related to your your industry and put all of your creatives all of your videos inside of that one ad group and you can start this out with a budget of 20 to $50 a day depending on how much money you got right I don't know if you look can see but this is basically what he's saying look that's my campaign right and then when we come here that's the IR compan and then look I put all my creatives in that one add compan as you can see there all right there too that's one that's two and as you can see see they're all active and look he say the budget is 20 so I put 20 20 and 20 so and hopefully in the next couple days we're able to print with his advice so fingers crossed so it's been a couple days and I have an update from following Jordan's advice the ads have been going for a day and some change and I'll be honest with you there's zero selles but that's not the most surprising thing I think the most surprising thing is the Tik Tok ads had a better conversion than um Facebook ads there was more people coming to the website from the Tik Tok ads as you can see we had over 900 people coming to the website just off of ttic ads and with Facebook ads I think 11 sessions so only 11 people came to this website so there's two things either the ad is really bad or it's just the product is not great there's two things that I take away from this while Drop Shipping is a good business model I just think nowadays it's very very hard like bro you're competing with Tik Tok shop and Amazon what are the chances you're going to beat that cuz when a product goes viral you seeing it I'm seeing it they are seeing it so as soon as you see the product going viral all you got to do is go slap it on Tik Tok shop or go put it on Amazon and you start getting money you see what I'm saying you know and also I feel like it's very very competitive like bro when you go on Tik Tok you're going to see a bunch of people trying to do organic Drop Shipping if you want to start Drop Shipping now it's like you either have to be very patient because this organic thing just you have to be very patient like it's a patient game right and then when it comes to paid Arts you have either have to have big budgets or be very very early with a product and also I feel like a lot of people that was teaching us Drop Shipping and all of these like a few years ago are not really doing Drop Shipping as much what they're doing is they're starting branded e-commerce Brands like that is the play like I think that's it for this video if you enjoy this content don't forget to hit like And subscribe
